I don't get the naysayers, I absolutely see this happening. Take senior care, absurdly expensive even with low cost human labor, $100K a year. If we had $50k robots, it would be a game changer. People could live out their final years i

Corporations are not people. They don't have rights.

No I don't. The only thing consumers care about is price. They don't consider pollution, waste, labor conditions. So if the only lever you have to affect consumers is price, then you must factor in the negative factors with higher

Why? People make social media accounts with their real name and face already. I doubt it would have any effect.

>you were considered an ass You were considered an ass by people that actually knew you . The internet lynch mob takes a 30 second clip of a person they don't know and demand that the person have their life destroyed.

That's a positive view on it. My view is that the "adults" are just as addicted as the kids and are afraid to admit it.

Except parents can't control what their children's peer's internet usage is. A common argument to let kids use social media is that their friends use it and they would be left out. This problem can't be solved by individ

I assume if it reaches dire levels the government will just mandate that you raise children. I dont see anything wrong with that, personally. Raising kids is a duty like paying taxes or registering for the draft. Previously, it was just ass

>Economics works when the people do the things they are most efficient at. If you believe this statement, then you must be supportive of open borders. People in China might be more efficient at doing local US service jobs. Whose to say w

I disagree with this. Everybody wears clothes. Everybody eats food. You can't put a monetary value on a t-shirt, because people will buy them anyways. Who is to say that t-shirts aren't $60? People only think that t-shirts are &qu

Sometimes you do things you don't want to do because it prevents worse things from happening in the future. Such as hostile countries shutting off manufacturing to the US.

As opposed to Visa/MC deciding that? At least I can vote for the government...

China didnt eliminate poverty, it merely shifted dirty work to other poor countries (other SE asian countries). Just like the US did. Just like all countries will do until they run out of poor countries and the pyramid scheme of globalizati

>They pay like crap. Then raise the wages. Yes that means products get more expensive, but so be it. The economy will find a new equilibrium. White collar workers will see their purchasing power decrease, but factory workers will see it

Yes. Outsource the manufacturing. We have important intellectual work to do like optimizing ad sales.

Most Americans cant name the branches of government, they dont even know what an executive order is.

If you dont like any of the candidates, run yourself. Choosing to do nothing is declaring that you dont care.

Im not a pilot or anything, but looking at the cockpit of the f35, it seems pretty weird that the whole thing is a big touch screen. Reminds me of cars replacing physical controls with touchscreens...

>Technology and social progress definitely leads to fewer work hours. Do they? Seems more like developed countries just outsourced the sweatshop factory work to other countries. "Out of sight, out of mind" as they say, I guess.

You "get a say" when voting, but you do not "get to say" where your money goes exactly. Those phrases have very different meanings, maybe you got them confused

All else equal, more supply of landlords means less supply of housing. So you are just shifting demand from buying to renting. I wouldn't expect prices to lower.

The stock market investor makes money off of other stock market investors playing the game. Landlords are making money off of real working people.

>House prices are high because there's not enough supply in and around the jobs. The median home price in Los Angeles tripled from 2010. The population in Los Angeles has declined since 2010.

You dont need a nefarious scheme to have a market bubble.

A good start would be tying retirement benefits to the # of kids you raised. If you dont have kids, you dont get social security and have higher taxes on 401k withdrawals.
