I don't see a CDN as something that customers get bored of in the same way as coupons for random services. When a consumer realizes they are getting 50% off of a service or product they didn't want or need in the first place, they

If your conclusion is that there are more delivery services than the market can support, I agree completely. Ultimately, I think the end result will be a stable market with a few competitors, as some of the existing companies fail, some o

It's not where we're headed, it's where we're at right now. There are many, many examples of this behavior in new markets (e.g. railroads, search engines), which is eventually followed by market consensus around a small

Effective tax rates haven't changed that much over time [0]. Doubling the tax rate on the rich is unlikely to double tax revenue, and could easily decrease income tax revenue. If we want to increase tax revenue to fund our current and

It depends on your definition of "best bang for your buck". Social Security doesn't exist to maximize returns, it exists to protect the elderly from extreme poverty once they are no longer able to work. Because of that, the
