The solution is radical meritocracy and an end to privileged elites (nepotism & cronyism). Society must not tolerate the creation of an aristocratic class, or that class will engage in anti-meritocratic privilege (nepotism & cronyis

They aren't in competition. They both were geniuses. Smith did not advocate laissez-faire capitalism. He was against any kind of cartel, oligopoly, or monopoly, and wanted the state to be more powerful than corporations, not controlled by c

How is that remotely strategic? That's not a strategic perspective, that's s brain dead perspective. Blacking out Wikipedia right now does not change the behaviour of congress. The masses will look into SOPA angrily, find out that congress

Teachers just negotiate for job stability rather than wage. For some reason, teachers are extremely risk averse and would rather be paid crappy, forever, no matter how bad they are. The teachers associations ensure no teachers can ever be f

Doctors are the most powerful but the other associations still manage to raise wages through varying levels of protectionism.

Yep. This is the big American secret the working class can't seem to discover. The elite have busted the unions, but professional associations are stronger than ever. Doctors do it to avoid free trade, they are protectionist, and surprise!

Don't hinder the communication, just prosecute the offender. Jail time and fines is sufficient.

What we really need is a constitutional amendment that forbids government interference with internet infrastructure. The internet needs to be protected by laws that recognize it as an essential public utility. A free and open internet is es

The productivity increases caused by the computer revolution did not increase real (adjusted for inflation) wages though. All the profit was eaten by entrepreneurs and finance. Wage-workers got very little, their wage growth rate actually d

Thats a sad list. Provocative, political, vapid, with empty moralizing tacked for the sake of symmetry not substance. Another depressing display of the intellectual poverty of pop science.

At least Chinese economists are working in the interests of China, unlike the USA. For every dire economic indicator in China there are 100 in the USA and most of them are caused by the government/media/universit economics departments.

A lot of reasonable, sensible, intelligent, math & business oriented people saw this coming. I surely did and I'm not a financial professional. Financial products are basically snake oil there to enrich the salesmen at the expense of th

Civil answers are overrated. I'm really sick of corporate leaders (e.g. You) telling me I should change my life to suit them. Their job is to accommodate the customer regardless of how weird my hobbies may be.

The gov adapted to Y2K, so they know exactly what they need to fix. The difference between adapting to Y2K and adapting to the HH calendar is minor. If the gov survived Y2K they would survive the HH-adoption.

One of the points of the calendar though is to keep the months and days of the week the same.

All of Dick Cheney's friends get their intel from the CIA. Stratfor is small potatoes.

Nobody important uses the analysis service. Everyone important uses the CIA. Stratfor serves small and medium sized businesses with global operations. Huge military-industrial operations like Halliburton get their intelligence from the CIA.

Stratfor is a news company. Their only mission is to print accurate information for the consumption of the public. They give away many articles for free, and individuals can subscribe for about $20/month. Stratfor is not Halliburton. It's s
