I don’t think that’s true, besides, couldn’t the same argument be said about raising the corporate income tax? Yet many people are in favor of that. Tarrifs directly benefit American workers and factories, who find their prices 20% more com

I realize that tariffs are controversial given the current political climate, but they really are one of the best ways to claw back money from large corporations and reward unskilled labor in the US. We need to bring manufacturing jobs back

Precisely why I’m a big fan of tariffs and America-first foreign policy. We need a way to restore manufacturing industry to the US, the loss of which played a large role in the erosion of the middle class. Protecting manufacturing and facto

It’s trickled down but in narrow bands. For example, starting salaries in the Bay Area are up big in the last decade, partly because of an influx of easy money into tech growth tech companies. However, much of that goes directly into the po

I see a lot of people citing their personal dislike of the site as a reason to wipe it from polite society. Why? What test did it fail and where is the evidence? Can you apply that test evenly to other websites? Am I the only one here that

Alright sounds good. By the way where do we go to find out whether a publication is misogynistic and *phobic? We need to make sure we keep the internet safe!

Where do you see it was they were gaming the system? Their site was clearly popular. From what I see they were targeted based on the perception of that content’s value.

In other words, it’s one thing to say the platitude is true, it’s another thing to time it.

It really depends. My home server uses about 120w idle (older series i7 with many disks). It comes out to about $25 a month in electricity. That’s enough to where you should make sure it’s worth it, and ask yourself if you’re better off wit

I don’t know where the concept of meaningless physical and mentally hard work — regardless of its effect or purpose — is somehow guaranteed to produce wealth comes from. I don’t know anyone who believes that.

As opposed to success not being predicated on hard work and perseverance? I think if that were true there would be many more successful startups.

> ”If hard work pays off, show me a rich donkey." What a weird analogy, as if spending all night pointlessly digging hole in your background correlates with wealth. Though I think if you did have the grit to do that you will find

The counter argument is that trade-crafts (of which I include programming) are one of the clearest examples of different people have vastly difference proficiencies in the lower tiers of skill outside mastery.

The 10k rule is falling out of social favor nowadays, as are most systems of thinking that suggest success requires hard work and (most importantly) persistence.

I didn’t even realize I needed to justify periodically buying food there until I read this thread. As if their success somehow means there’s something nefarious going on or they’re taking advantage of people. There’s a CVS everywhere .

There’s a weird misconception about poor people here. I’m willing to bet the vast amount of people on SNAP have a car and a job. Being poor doesn’t require an abject state.

Be careful what you wish for. Most government programs are built on nothing but growth predictions that are... maybe not possible and probably dishonest.

The top 20% of earners pay 87% of the tax burden. Is there something unreasonable about that amount?

This is really amazing. I wish these were more practical on single-family homes. I don't think my bay area city would ever allow me to put one up, so it's solar.

Couple this along with the fact that millennials are largely choosing to live in cities which have seen the most dramatic cost of living/rent inflation.
