Allowing “nationalization” to remain a dirty word (and not “privatization”) is a much bigger gift. Why should it be off the table? Does the average person even give a shit about the public/private status of Intuit? I get conservatives

If the currency itself is a joke it seems fair game for anyone to make fun of it.

Same. I’d be more worried about an API with no rate limit. Say if another customer ships a bug that DoS’s the API on accident.

I feel there’s a rhetorical trick where detractors of the current US system are expected to create the perfect system, when the US one is very very far from ideal (e.g. generates little revenue, burdens the wrong people, any everyone hates

Bezos claiming the child tax credit is gold. Bernie got finger-wagged in the primaries for wanting universal benefits, because others said the rich shouldn’t be able to take advantage of them too. Well, guess what, CTC is a means-tested pro

I commented with a link to the archive.org for the BI article. It aligns with my first hand knowledge and what I’ve read elsewhere. I’m not interested in discussing this meta stuff or what names you’d prefer to be called, sorry. dang can di

Ok so you won’t read the article. Sorry to waste your time by suggesting you do that before proclaiming the reporter (whose reporting you didn’t read) isn’t doing their job. Startups are great, but their chances of success are higher when t

Step off your soap box and RTFA. The linked BI reporting mentions interviews they did with managers (btw you seem to be confusing op-eds and reporting, Mr. Fix-Journalism Startup Idea Guy). Or do your own verification- this practice is disc

Don’t see how any of it’s untrue. You just interpreted this in a way that would be untrue. Rather than “lower the bar” an HM can just request 1 more headcount for SDE1 than they truly need.

My take is you haven’t shown a distinction that makes me care either way. More capital income from the wealthiest people comes from equity so it makes more sense as a target for taxes, assuming we want to tax the top more and the middle les

Non-pessimistic answer: it’s largely the only place the middle class parks its wealth. Besides that it would be stuff like 401k and Roth IRA which would also be exempt already. Pessimistic answer: it’s for developers and landlords
