Which given that land is limited (you can only go so far out before you are in another place) then the price of the building will increase. It is possible to end up in a situation where even very wealthy workers cannot afford to rent with

This is probably a good time to use Occam's Razor. Assuming that it was malicious bias is a big assumption when the more logical conclusion is that the journalist simply did not know how Google trends works (or how to read a graph with

Not to sound like too much of an egotist but some of us really are noticed an awful lot and spotlight effect sounds pretty alien to me. I am very tall (over two meters) so that is definitely part of it. I am very outgoing and I tend to go t

Speculation affects rent because many buyers have debt. If an owner can raise rents that cover the interest and costs, they will; that is their baseline for how low they will go. Large amounts of speculation will increase rents even with in

I wish my local government would do this. Businesses and industrial sites should be taxed at significantly higher rates if they are vacant to encourage businesses or repurposing. This would encourage owners to lease sites or sell them up fo

Have you been to China lately? Many Chinese cities are what happens when you allow supply to meet demand. Prices don't necessarily come down with increased supply because it also increases speculation (and contrary to economists believ

Sales tax is still tax. While they don't personally hand the money to the government it is still coming out of their money. I am not qualified to talk about how the US tax system fits together but I assume that 50% is paying some form

Ford makes $776,348 per employee. I will take a stab in the dark and say that the assembly worker is making substantially less than that regardless of whether it is $20k or $100k car while still producing far more value than the cost of eit

Volume and proportion are not the same thing. 50% of net is very easy when you have >10% of all wealth. No super rich individuals are taxed at 50% either of their net income either (if they are they are doing their taxes themselves and t

I built my own as many of the commercial standing desks have a tendency to be too short (I am over 2 metres). Just two triangle brackets, some screws and a large piece of wood; total cost: ~$30 and some time.

Mobile internet is reasonably fast (around 25MB up and down with my provider) but very expensive. About the cheapest data rate I have found is $15AUD/GB (measuring uploads and downloads). Performance is also patchy, there are blackspot

No need for thought experiments, we have history. Company towns are good examples of this (see [Roxby Downs]( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roxby_Downs,_South_Australia) ) as are cult headquarters. An oil rig is another

There is a freedom of speech argument to be made as well. Rights holders are one aspect but the other major cause of region locks is censorship. Many young people resent their governments telling them what they can or cannot watch. Some loc
