Tell that to the Europeans. Unless we invent the ability to build single family homes into the 4th dimension, there is no physical way to build enough houses in good locations for everyone. And we can support only a certain amount of horizo

I think it's much, much more common in the world of software to build things that either no one uses, or fades out pretty quickly. There's a world of difference between taking a week to ship a new button to Chrome at Google (low i

Deflation is horrific for any economy because it makes debt more expensive to service. Like it or not, modern economies are largely able to function thanks to prolific use of credit. If you think about it, it makes a ton of sense - if a ric

Counter point: maybe prices (including on assets) should be allowed to go up, so that their prices better reflect their value relative to productivity? The fed didn't really prop up any major industry this time around (unlike in 2008),

I still don't get it. If rich people own land with value X, and you tax it and produce Y amount that gets distributed to everyone, doesn't that Y directly increase the cost of food and shelter or any other thing that the poor peop

Correct, but that's just how the country is. If people want cultural changes, they've gotta address the causes of the divides in the US and understand that they'll have massive negative consequences too, not just positive one

Related to this, but is there ANY explanation out there from proponents of UBI that would clarify how UBI can be done sustainably and perpetually, without causing runaway inflation where UBI is always below poverty level anyway? I'm ob

Or you can just find a random kid in a secluded area and abduct them? Why bother tracking a specific one? And if someone wants your particular kid for some reason, then they'll probably get them without Apple's assistance.

But that's what US has over other countries - the promise of a dream. The idea goes is that if you work/study hard, you'll be wealthier than elsewhere. This doesn't have to be 100% true for everyone, there's already

This is precisely why immigration is really important. Need to replace fat, lazy, satisfied natives with immigrants hungry for a slice of their pie. It's the only way US can stay afloat. Easy immigration, especially for skilled workers

It's not possible for everyone to FIRE, is the point. Society needs to produce X amount of goods and services to sustain itself. If insufficient goods and services are produced, you get stagflation that kills your retirement nest egg.

To add to this, it's not even necessarily true that the value of land itself is up 10x. It could very well be that the value of dollar is DOWN 10x. The effect on price tag is exactly the same.

Setting aside the massive issues with the whole "just make the rich pay for it" shtick, climate change is not ruinous. Humans are incredibly adaptable. We can survive just fine in even the worst predicted climate change scenario.

Your dichotomy is incorrect as well. We can't "pay off the debt" in the short term without significant and long lasting instability. So the better analogy might be "do we go bankrupt now" or "do we go bankrupt
