The difference, generally, is who the gains go to. Societally, we want there to be an incentive and reward to those who will produce the things we need so that they get produced. Giving gains to hoarders who artificially lower supplies and

This is interesting. Anywhere I can learn more about this or if you have the chance, would you expand?

None of those facts indicate directly that this wasn't privately driven. They suggest reasons to be skeptical but, at the same time, it's highly unlikely they developed this spec since the DPA was invoked. These companies have bee

Is this at the behest of the government? Seems privately driven?

Again, though, it's not really relevant that he worked as Obama's PR guy, right? I have no idea if he's dumb, this interview doesn't suggest so, but here's an interview[0] of him and he's definitely not particu

It's part of the strategy of the far left to help push the Democratic Party further left by vilifying anything and everything associated with its party's center. EDIT: Adding that I really can't see, otherwise, how it's

I know that that's the title of the article but I read the article and came away mostly thinking nothing was all that bad. Is it because the notes said the organizer isn't eloquent or smart that there is reason to be upset?

Is there documentation for "EVERY"? I looked via a simple algolia search for "tailscale" and found relatively minimal posts but also a number with very few upvotes: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&a

Matt Stoller's analyses are usually a mixed bag for me. I generally agree with him that the US needs a focused Industrial Policy but analyses like this one seem relatively weak. A few things that I feel should be addressed but weren&#x

I think it will only be unpopular because of your inability to say it in a stable, civil way.

Yes, but be careful with that conception. That exact same thing can be said of just about anything made anywhere. This is the nature of globalization of supply chains.

There's nothing controversial about saying some people demand from others that which they won't give themselves. The point, though, as I made in my response to yours, is that people's duty will vary by their means. Some peopl

There's an idea of civic and social duty. The basic idea is that when one's society faces an existential crisis then those in that society with the means to help have a duty to do so. This is because the society in which they exis

Seems like this isn't so true now with the COVID crisis. Lots of talk about giving everyone checks. Lots of companies continuing to pay workers who aren't working. What drives your statement?

If your point is "a variety of opinion can exist everywhere" then sure but that's not great evidence that nations aren't an "approximate proxy for values". If it's 90-10 in one country and 10-90 in another

If an "inequity" is such that we are complaining about a step which makes some people better off but no one worse off, I will always claim it's stupid to complain about. Again, they are getting their full wages whether they a

Being the company everyone loves to hate is tough. They're paying the people their full wages still, many of whom won't be working anymore but they're evil because FB chose to give $1K to their FTEs. All they had to do was no

The problem with the post-national view is that it has to be a consensus view globally. It's a classic prisoner's dilemma. It has to begin with everyone respecting broadly the same general ethics and views on rights. As it turns o

If investment were somehow zero sum, yes that's a large part of what I would mean. Luckily, for my point to continue standing without being reduced to that, investment is indeed not zero-sum.

I do believe these masks are also made in the US, but this situation highlights exactly why a country having its own major manufacturing base is not just an economic need but rather also a national security need. The US needs to invest in i
