This is an also interesting take on that era: https://www.amazon.com/Chaos-Charles-Manson-History-Sixties/... It's too bad that so much of the records have been destroyed. As with the CIA torture program it is har

Lina Kahn is the worst type of politically motivated bureaucrat. Instead of executing the law, seeks new interpretations so that she impose her world view on others. She's never created or done anything of value other than be a studen

I'd argue that anti-trust is a fundamentally flawed concept - it's a matter of time frames, but no company without significant government intervention has had a 'monopoly' for more than a few years. Hell, Standard Oil w

Once again the FCC tries to expand it's powers to 'solve' a non problem.

Not at all, there a jobs that are good for students and other low skill/low experience workers... you can walk in and generate value, the phrase real job as I've heard it means career where with experience the amount of value incr

There are not enough houses in the right place, which is all that matters.

How about just enforce fraud laws and mandate up front billing/estimates. Like we do everywhere else?

Does the FCC have any authority over IOT devices? and if so how? This seems like a massive overreach, how can a body designed to for managing shared spectrum have any authority on devices that use the internet?

It removes the bottom rung of the ladder, it's a temporary stage.

Minimum wage hurts the least skilled the most and makes them unemployable. There is no empirical need for the minimum wage as almost no one earns it.

Why would you say that? It seems that the majority of monopolies ever created have had substantial government intervention. Assuming you mean a business that is monopoly for say a decade and not a few years.

I would expect labor force participation rate to go down as your society gets wealthier. More education and more retirement.

Yeah, and they're poor. The US constitution doesn't give the federal government authority to do this, and rightly so.

Of course it does it does - people intentionally try to make contracts to provide flexibility around various labor laws and of course the government then tries to reclassify the employment relationship as falling under their purview.

Hopefully the government loses.

I think you don't understand how much worse the internet has gotten - there are a large amount of bad actors actively trying to make google worse (junk content, etc) - Even just providing the same level of quality results with decreasi

It's hard to say google controls your communication. You: 1. Voluntary use their services 2. There are lots of alternatives 3. The switching cost is minimal

It simplifies and it makes it less expensive - it's one less thing to go wrong.

There is a fundamental difference between public and private and that is one of consent. We have no consent when it comes to government actions. Look at the amount of money wasted on the the war on drugs. Where do you think wealthy money i

How about something far simpler - reduce to the us government to only enumerated powers. If they want to do something not enumerated pass an amendment.

Keynes was always wrong, and is an excuse for governments to spend money. Stagflation...

The concept of informational self-determination ends when you put the information out in public... you self determine what is public and what isn't...

This is inherent to fractional reserve banking - not all banking. Demand deposits should not be lent out, if banks want to make loans then the capital should come from longer term assets not demand deposits. This isn't hard, it's

Why could corporations and anyone else buy up everything - was it perhaps absurdly low interest rates?
117.
by dantheman 3y ago
That can only go on for so long; if people see companies buying out competitors people will jump to create more and more competitors for the easy exit.

How do receipts stay the same?

by dantheman 3y ago
People voluntarily interact and should be able to use whatever criteria they want when doing that. As for twitter files, the problem is the government involvement and coercion.
