I think the aggregate demand curve slopes downwards. I think this because of macroeconomic theory. Because of this model, I can make predictions on how government spending/borrowing affects consumption and investment. There is good emp

This is not marginal thinking. 50% of people are more capable than the other 50%. Being smarter than most people is not such a rare thing. There are plenty of regular people smarter than most of the people they encounter. Berklee sets a sta

You are taking this so far off the rails. We know what Nebraskans think about abortion - they made a 28 week abortion illegal. No mesothilic civilisation is relevant here. If you think a 39 week abortion is wrong, as you say - at what point

There are soooo many reasons why using state lines cannot protect you from a criminal case. Firstly, Facebook clearly operates in Nebraska, and is thus subject to its jurisdiction. Incorporation (in Delaware) is for corporate covernance, no

At the risk of being extremely inflammatory, Plenty of criminals think they are having a private conversation, when in fact, the government is listening in. What they did was a crime in Nebraska. It has been a crime in Nebraska for decades

Why is all abortion law immoral? Why can't we draw a line somewhere before 28 weeks and say that if you want an abortion, you have to decide before 7 months have gone by? I can't imagine thinking that it should be legal to kill a

So much fuss about privacy, data collection, facebook, and police. The real issue here is someone tried to abort a 28 week old fetus? Only Americans find this acceptable. It's a fringe and extreme position in all of the developed world

No. The people have the right to spend their money on elections via free exercise. What was ruled unconstitutional were laws that said you can't spend money on an election if you do it via some corporate structure. If a newspaper print

I would live in Singapore full time if it wasn't so fucking hot. How can they have such prosperity with such a low tax rate and no natural resources?

If you're in the EU you don't have the right to give your IP address to a US company? Your own IP address? What's the point of having personal data if you aren't allowed to make decisions about it

> Negotiating different rates with different subscribers for the same video price discrimination is good! For the rest of it, banning porn is probably a losing battle, but surely we can make fraud illegal, like passing yourself off as so

Majority rule literally the definition of democracy. This is obviously in conflict with minority rights. If you care more about minority rights than democracy, fine. Lots of governments have limits on majority rule. The USA constitution is

Let's go one meta level up. It's not like they cornered the decision into their own branch of government like they did with abortion (before Dobbs). If there's disagreement on how a text should be interpreted I don't car

That is not how law, jurisdiction or sovereignty works. If I run an export business from my own country, the only law I need to comply with are the export laws of my own country. It's the duty of whoever is buying it on the other end t

how can you possibly know how effective someone is to work with after 10 seconds and watching them sit down? what kind of confidence interval can you assign to this test?
