Perhaps free markets for public goods are illusory!

Oh right, I guess I thought what you were doing was saying that cases like [0] being "heard about on the national news" is showing some kind of bias, that it's not something to be concerned about because the same is happening

From your fox news link: "On Thursday, officials revealed that in seven of 102 cases involving children under 5 separated from their guardians, the adult was determined not to actually be the parent." So ok, you're only sland

> people bring children that are not their own to fast tack their way through into the country. Or when families lie about their child’s age to loophole the system. Completely citation & evidence free assertions - smells like slander

let's flesh it out a bit then. Op said "You can make a predictable scheme for the next 20 years (i.e. fuel will raise about 4% per year,...)" So how about investing in Cornwall now, borrowing against the 20 year revenue strea

You could build up e.g. Cornwall (through subsidy) with the revenue from the tax.

Firefox has a feature called "Containers", which is kind of this concept but with perhaps a better UX. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/containers

OK - would you agree that this presents us with an ethical problem? How about a societal/practical problem? Is an unequal society sustainable? What actions can be taken to mitigate the ethical and practical problems presented by inequa

Well actually, we're not all still here! Those shifts - i.e. the industrial revolution - were enormously disruptive! Assuming that this is happening; or going to happen, how can we smooth it out a bit? And of course; that is on the bas

Great article that seems to leave the question unresolved. If technological unemployment is not a large factor; but inequality within advanced economies is rising, then what other factors are at play? Are the changes necessary to deal with

Yes. What is being suggested by the zeitgeist is that we are in a transition period; and that the scale of the problem is going to be so large that it cannot be ignored. That is, if 75% of the population has no job in 2150 you have a huge e

Maybe. On the downside; maybe those jobs won't be available to everyone because there is a skills gap or there aren't enough of them. If there are people who are left behind; what do we do about it?

I'm not sure what you mean. "Speed" is almost directly exactly analogous to "increased productivity" isn't it? Also accuracy - reducing scrap means more can be produced with less materials in less time. "w

You know what - I think there are a great deal of legal and technical factors in play. But forgive me in also indulging in the idea that a physical location can also bring a sense of atmosphere or prestige - belonging - that is important in

In your logic "life support by banks" = "pay for concerts and stuff". The dimension you are missing is spatial, in that this would now happen elsewhere from London, and the "externality" of non-banker Londerner

Well what is the analogy? If you're saying the UK is in a position analogous to that of a "colony" of the EU then it is your reading of history that is bizarre.

Consumers are not omniscient, and in my view should be able to pay (through taxes) to pre-vet products. I think a good way of thinking about this is food laws - i am happy to pay for enforcement of laws that make sure when i buy beef it is
