People are hesitant to publicly say that the right thing to do is the thing that should be done so they bring financial arguments into it. Hence the studies promoting the idea that diverse companies are more profitable, as if that should ma

In a thousand years archaeologists will write papers on our civilisation and the god we worshipped called Market. About how we obeyed the laws of Market, appeased the Market when it was unhappy, and how we had faith that Market could solve

The OED has redefined it so you literally can't use it incorrectly anymore. Of course because of that it literally has no meaning now.

If you're self employed or have your own business you can use pre-tax dollars for a lot of those expenses. Out of curiosity why would you include food, housing, and transport, etc in your calculation. Those are sunk costs so if the pre

Most of China is compromised of uneducated, ultra-nationalist peasant farmers. While they are lovely people I think it's in everyone's interest that they not dictate national policy. The current government is IMHO doing a great jo

In the U.K. you can trade in your R&D tax credit for cash. Protip: Instead of living off savings it may be beneficial to lend money to your startup in order to pay you so the wage can count towards an R&D credit. But make sure to se
