   Most of those sources are search engines of some web pages, answer pages, cheat sheets and help documents. They even list tiny unit conversation services there. Give me a break.

   Overpriced is this: I can pay to a pirate taxi service 2-3 times less and he is still fine. For example, Taxi drivers here needs to pay money to medallion owner and prices are determined by their guild and government centrally. There is no

   I am very supportive of small business. And dislike large corporations. And surely believe that large corporations are behind many regulations that makes small business bankrupt. They buy favors and pass laws favoring their stance. Governme

    First, Uber will not be a monopoly, second Taxis are over priced already.

    People in US are doing just fine without special "taxi" training. You think Uber drivers does not know short cuts? Rating system is a far better motivator for drivers. In Turkey and likely in other countries there are regulations

    They promote "anti government regulation". Otherwise for long therm success, voluntary market regulation by other market entities is almost always necessary.

    Agreed. In Turkey, taxi medallions are part of a terrible system. They are extremely expensive in big cities. In many cases, Taxi drivers do not own them. Different drivers work in two or three shifts and pays a predetermined amount to meda

    Or, maybe this is just another attempt from NASA to prevent budget cuts. And in a cunning way. Pump fear, look cool, create a long term very expensive very difficult project, keep money coming. IMO, moving money from war machine to risky pr

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. But still, the previous commentator's "Florida is just low-tax." does not hold at least percentage wise. However, when I searched the tax ration they say there is a 40% income tax in Switz

    Many people here in Turkey will think solar eclipse triggered this. Strong 1999 earthquake in Turkey also happened just some weeks after the full solar eclipse. I think it is just a coincidence though. Edit: wording.

    State sponsored health care is very inefficient, coercive, unfair and open to abuse no matter the good intentions. I salute Watsi and YCombinator for making this without direct state support.

    Perhaps easier way is to criminalize using it. So usage will be limited, control and money printing will continue.

    No, What I said is, monopolies can exist for a short time in a free-market system. But they live much longer in state controlled-restricted markets. And I doubt there is any example in History a real monopoly lived as long as patent expirat

    Free markets allow monopolies. Actually it is the dream of all producers, but in practice they cannot live long. Reason there are monopolies or very high barriers to enter some industries is the state granted rights (eg. IP rights), regulat

    There is no "we" unless there is unanimous decision. And practically it is not possible for nation states. You may suggest "As a society, majority have to decide.. " if you are a believer of Democracy. Edit: I know this
