I didn't misread. If you look at my first reply to you I said this: > 12 months leading to end of 2015: down 12% Quite clearly I understood what you meant. And then I explained why the fact you picked was misleading. Not untrue, j

> Berkshire Hathaway was down 12% last year It's easy to cherry pick dates to suit your argument. 12 months leading to end of 2015: down 12% 24 months leading to end of 2015: up 11% 36 months leading to end of 2015: up 40%

Comparing to past theoretical entry points to buying Apple is irrelevant. I'm not sure why all of us didn't invest in Apple 10 years ago! Oh, it's because it's easier to predict the last 10 years than the next ten years.

That's your brain taking a shortcut because you know that "punched" is a verb, and that a verb in that form is likely to be followed by a subject noun, etc. Even if you never study grammar and couldn't even answer the qu

You do subconciously. When you read "Dave punched John" you don't need to think "hmmm, is 'John' the object or the subject?" but if your brain hasn't figured out which is the object and which the subj

You're right I forgot to add back in some amount for children. Somewhere between $400 and $1300 would be fair, so let's say a middle ground of $850/month which adds back $0.75trillion. As to raising taxes - if a UBI were ever
