We have made those strides in productivity and they all went to rent seeking and taxation/regulation of small businesses and personal conduct (see also $150 red light cameras and $350,000 school admin salaries)

More than plausible, I'd say that's probable. It reminds me of how the cause of death for Adrian Lamo is officially "undetermined", but the medical examiner notes serum potassium and creatinine levels that are so high (i

Really appreciate this insight. This is one of the reasons that I wish corporations died sooner and had less power over the employee. Employees can provide helpful knowledge to customers in exchange for a wage. The ones who hawk PSP warrant

Hideous. Glad I don't live in AZ. Imagine combining fascism, cronyism, and puritanism into one.

Agreed. The beautiful thing is that the power of creating anything is increasingly being put back into the hands of the consumer. We are rapidly approaching the point where anything you could ever want is buyable with the click of the butto

Sales sucks. I have always preferred selling to consumers and handling support in a humane and friendly way. I simply don't have the moral fibre in me to fuck someone out of their money like a "b2b" guy does, or car salesman

I would love to know what connection the "industry leading assessors" have to any Google employees at all. Surely they are completely impartial and unrelated, when 15 to 75 thousand dollars is on the line!

I worked a good chunk of time in a mid-sized Italian restaurant with maybe 10 cooks, 10 waiters, and 7 bussers/dishwashers/preppers. I doubt that right now a robot could do any of the backhouse stuff with the versatility, speed, a

No doubt about that one :) It goes without saying that their financial security is thoroughly important. Still, all workers in 2019 have diminished purchasing power compared to the amount of hours worked (and commuted)

How does one reasonably have a need for 40 acres of property? I could see a few acres as being the max needed for reasonable privacy. Are you doing something commercial with the acreage? I think I did a calculation a few years ago that ther

Have done MA's (now-defunct) free e-file and NY state's paper form. Don't do it, it's a massive waste of time and energy and the chance for human error is massive. I only did mine because Oracle and ADP issued me a compl

I think anyone who is willing to put their real face and name in front of what they are (re)selling can be trusted more than any fake LLC or profile or ebay user account. If they have videos on instagram and do a live demo and walk through

I 1million% agree with giving the money to the worker in need, and I myself would opt for the Indian as well if quality is the same. But, my suspicion is that everyone on beermoney actually has no other income :(

Why do they need to be Indian? Sure the data would reflect that a plurality of global low wage workers are from India, but there are also plenty of low wage workers who are not ethnically Indian or geographically based in India (such as all

Wow!! Such civilized culture :) In the US, unless otherwise negotiated, all employees are under the legal term "at will", which means firing/quitting can happen anytime and for any reason. Fortunately I have walked off the jo

This is actually a really weird claim. We know now thanks to Kepler that many stars have planets just like our Sun does, but so far we've only been able to see large gaseous planets and a few rocky ones that can be as large as 1.5x Ear
