True, but I am not talking about California. It's its own beast. Well-managed towns of single family homes are not an infrastructure burden. Sure, they're not as per capita efficient but recall people move to such towns, and pay t

Notice 2, 3, and 4 distribute conscientious talent across the country in a way that might well be net additive. For 2, the purchaser will likely improve the neighborhood and schools. For 3 they improve the housing stock. For 4 they bring de

As a lingua franca, it's culturally reasonable. After you've grokked it the first time, e.g. "dgemm" is much more convenient than "double precision general matrix multiplication". This is akin to speaking alou

> The proposal in the article is to tax wealth at an annual rate of 2%. It is already! It's called the Fed's target inflation rate. Currently, everyone's net wealth is getting reduced at over twice that rate.
