More like a "the world is crash and burning I want real cash in my pocket, NOW!" kinda thing. It's hard to buy toilet paper and water with Bitcoin at your local Costco.

I'm happy to accept your hypothesis that US citizens will come out on top for lifetime net income, but this article was about the human costs, like having children or not. What cost is forgoing having a family? Is that even calculated?

Didn't know this and this does shine a different light... However, I'm guessing that it's better for the organizers to have the gov "pull the plug" than themselves since this will allow them to (potentially) renege

My guess is they should and will, if not, call your credit card company and file a cancellation there for non-fulfillment of goods/services. Edit: Sorry about your launch being cancelled, the Coronavirus is a bummer, but you/we ar

If you want to see this dynamic play out in dramatic form I highly recommend The Wife w/ Glenn Close.

You're right of course, and I was being facetious -- yes it's true that CDs were supposed to be better (true copy of the Master, larger dynamic range etc.), but alas, no good deed goes unpunished since it didn't take long for

So, is the OP right or wrong? I'll admit I was intrigued :)

I'm not a tax lawyer but I see the link you posted states owners can get a tax deduction for upto $25k a year, which is ~$2k/month which means you can wait for that comfy Bank to come and lease your space. Of course this is based

Perhaps it's time to think about ditching the "batteries included" monolithic frameworks like Django (Rails etc.) and start your serverless/microservices/docker/k8s/etc journey. The beauty of this type of
