Amazon could easily solve this problem if they wanted to. They just don't want to.

Why hasn't HackerNews changed the color of the top bar? I thought they did that to honor folks in the tech industry that died.

"We call this confirmation bias". I'm genuinely curious to know what you think the author's pre-existing beliefs are. You seem to have a few of your own: "Canada only has to patrol its northern border"

I mean, I would argue that's why rent control exists in the first place: Because there is a market with astronomical increases in rent (not the other way around, like you are suggesting)

Absolutely. Other things that change the math: - Only allowing individuals to rent living spaces (no corporations) - Only allowing individuals to buy houses (no corporations) - Not allowing corporations to buy influence in Washington DC Any

"people with careers don’t really need to hedge inflation especially" This is like saying, "you don't need to hedge inflation as long as everything goes right" You don't need to hedge inflation ... until you do

Buying a home is a hedge against inflation. Renting has no similar protections. Your choices are, "Pay the (increased) rent" or "Move"

"Why are we so afraid to let kids explore"? Pedophiles. They were always there, even inside of families and churches. Just underreported.

I'm pretty sure a rack will fit 84 mac minis. :-)

That's interesting, because I had a different take: The burgers are 'so big' they can't easily be contained. If you notice, it's mostly the higher priced burgers that seem to be 'askew'

Zoning costs money everywhere. That's work that needs to be done by a person. That person gets paid. It's capitalism again. Prop 13 actually limits property taxes and the assessments that can happen. You're actually hurtin
