Agreed, but it's a good question. Will the will of the people do it - should we expect the will of the people, as a conglomerate, to make such a concentrated and calculated decision?

Which, is a mixed bag. Judge shopping was a huge problem from universal injunctions. But at the same time, what branch of government is the loss of the steadfast check-and-balance known as "universal injunctions" in favor of – and

It is when the value of something comes from its volume of buys/sells.

Determining value of a thing IS how well it does in a popularity contest. That's all economics is. If your apples are fundamentally less sought after - and popular - than my potatoes, your apples are cheaper than my potatoes.

by HaZeust 1y ago
And potatoes don't grow nearly as much economic value within industrial societies - as they do in, say, agrarian ones. All to say, I don't understand your point.

It makes perfect sense, and I meant what I said. 60% of all US equity volume is pure high-frequency trading, and ETFs add roughly another 20% that’s literally just bots responding to market activity and bearish-bullish sentiment analysis on

You still need to generate a convincing argument that "alerting people of police presence in general" has any more weighted use from criminals, to avoid legal consequences, than speeding trap alerts - which we already have settled

I used to actually bat against universal healthcare for this reason, until COVID. The majority of private insurance companies are already doing that, here.

Sounds like a pretty good policy to back to me. I’ll never understand people that want to take advantage of the foundations of society for themselves, then become rather churlish when its their turn to do the same for others.
