If you just want to redirect money from shareholders reduce corporate tax rates to 0% and tax dividends and capital gains more. Since they aren’t doing that they are admitting they want to tax money that corporations would re-invest.

The original purpose wasn’t to hide taxation but to effectively get more money via interest by the government getting paid sooner.

Venezuela did a lot of things to restrict the use of the US dollar including forcibly converting all USD accounts at their banks to their own currency at an unfavourable ratio.

What makes you think salaries will suddenly increase in lockstep when they’ve been increasing slower than inflation since about 1970?

Most economists around the world support eliminating the corporate tax and raising capital gains to compensate. In addition to vastly reducing the amount of accounting needed it would make structures like this pointless. Perhaps governments

What exactly is your background where you assume your answer is correct when you know even the experts have substantial disagreements on taxation. Maybe there are a lot of legitimate disagreements on how much and which taxes because taxes a

He doesn’t argue that the behaviours aren’t harmful at all but rather often manifest as a coping mechanism for another condition. He thinks it’s a dangerous idea to treat social media addiction as something to treat directly rather than som

Maybe they included a lot of the suburbs. Vancouver has a fairly peaky distribution in that areas near it get more affordable faster than many other cities.

Very insular and only one real chance to make a group of friends (especially within an age group). Limited support for hobbies and extra-curriculars due to population density. Difficult to impossible to get around and do things without a ca

This ranking has no factors pertaining to raising children other than those that also pertain to adults. For parents and prospective parents that makes it almost useless. If not for the quality of education in affluent parts of big cities

This is not actually possible as Ottawa is ranked 6th and Vancouver is ranked 8th.

I agree but definitely think 1979 to 2016 is longer than that while.

For photos I’d agree as most customers are end users. Don’t underestimate this for other products though. Self hosting is a huge feature for selling into large corporations with data security policies.

This law is slightly different in that it’s about posting. So it’s more like if there is a possibility of hiring from Colorado consult an attorney and follow certain laws. That scales very differently from consulting an attorney after picki

I was under the impression the one child policy never applied in poor rural areas. If it was universally enforced I’d like to see an explanation for China’s population growth over a period where it would have experienced a decline.

Innovation and Entrepreneurship are supposed to take place outside of academia. Core research is the mission of academia. The research that doesn’t have the immediate returns or value capture to justify starting a company around. Some exce

Does anyone accept the bottom 1/2 of the range after posting that wide a range though? Suddenly instead of actually hiring for 85-250k, your juniors at the position want 175k and all seniors want 250k.

Canada allows foreign ownership of property. Some provinces have an additional tax at purchase time for foreign ownership.

Over asking is a misleading metric as realtors are allowed to list a house at any price they choose. Some properties are listed artificially low to get more people to view them. Since people have some sense of what a property is actually

If only there was a law that allowed you to deduct a significant amount of mortgage interest from taxes on a home but not on other property.... Oh wait...

Follow your dream is generally meant as ‘get a dream career’. Figure out life goals might mean working a job of average happiness because the money is important for you in raising your family. I think there is a big difference.

Follow your dream is actually terrible advice because dreams change over time. It leads to people overcommitting to their current self in a fairly destructive way. It essentially maximizes career happiness at the expense of all other life

For this to be true a person has to experience a large number of events. For any meaningful definition of event that's false. So clearly this law requires an event to be routine in some extreme way in order for enough of them to occur

Terrible start-up idea that has a better revenue model. Sell the experiment design to politically motivated organizations that want certain outcomes in the public sphere. Hack your way to results. Give to media for free.

In many journals it's abuse of process to exclude reviewers you don't like. Much of the times this is supposed to be used to declare conflicts of interest based on relationships you have in the field.

Here is an idea: Replication based grants. Have some portion of academic funding distributed by assigning a pool of money to grantors and having them bet portions of that money on papers they consider impactful AND likely to replicate. Allo

We also need to listen to the science on things that are clearly established. The replication crisis is not something that affects almost anything in public debate. Evolution is well established science. Large parts of Climate Change are w
