I explicitly stated (twice) they would (and should) pay more then their exact share. The real cost would likely be in the neighborhood of $500k too (20 SWEs traveling to work doesn't incur much cost, plus the 21/population cost of

Your question is more well formed if you challenge the premise that the tax you owe should scale linearly with the value of your assets. Obviously a business benefits from things the state provides, and the business should pay it's sha

...but their machinery (or cars and motorcycles at least) are needlessly complex and unbelievably frustrating to work on. Really I think that they just landed on some really successful marketing.

They are jealous of the US system where you can create an LLC in one hour for $200, and by the next day be doing business with all your personal assets isolated.

It's a fine anything-other-than-5hr+-road-trip car. Which covers 99% of people's daily driving. And frankly even if this thing was gas, it looks brutal to road trip in. A 200mi range means you can comfortably commute an hour to wo

Where people snag is the "gas station mentality", where everything they know about car ownership revolves around "filling up at a station". So when they think about owning an EV, they focus really hard on "gas stati

In NJ there was a string of teen ebike deaths, all of which were cars hitting teens riding on the side of the road. The solution the state came up with was regulating the living hell out of ebikes.

Honestly surgeons should be paid hourly like technicians. $800/hr or something like that. For a 2 hour procedure, $1600. Another $5k for facility and support staff. Looks like medicare is on point...

High volume on low margin is an extremely good way to make money. It's very naive to think the easy way to get rich is to price gouge. It's actually often the worst.

I would be curious how the public would react to a Dutch auction, where Valve launches the console at a $10,000 price tag, and every ~hour drops the price by $100 until they are sold out. It creates the illusion that buyers are "breaki

The outcome is that only people with the means to pay a lot get a product, so the optics are extremely bad. The optics are much better with a lottery system, as it trades wealth disparity determination for a dumb luck determination. I don&#

This is also why twitter drove journalism (and perhaps even the country) off a cliff. Naive journalists thought twitter was a "public square" that they could conveniently access from the comfort of their living room. They didn&#x2

There is no such thing as a relationship with "chinese companies". In China there is just the State, and that is it. If the world needs any more evidence of Europe's short-sightedness, it would be them running to China to spi

The thing about Gemini is that it never chews on a problem. Claude and GPT will regularly churn on a prompt for 10-15 minutes. I don't think I have ever seen Gemini think for more than a 2 minutes. Google seems more interested in fast

I'm not in NC, but Walmart starts associates at $14/hr and will (almost) hire anyone. A quick check shows they have tons of open positions throughout the state, full time with benefits.

For builders, they will buy a block of land and build many houses on it. The unit cost of a home drops dramatically when you are building 50 of them at once. The real killer for them is interest rates, as they finance the whole thing and th
