I don't know how this has gone over everyone's heads here, because what's happening is extremely obvious. If you're a big FAANG-like company, you've seen workers make big gains in wages over the past year, and turno

How often do products go under because of unresolved tech debt? Is it many? When I first got into software I spent a lot of time on refactoring and cleaning up code. As time goes on I find myself doing that less and less, and just focusing

"Cite your sources as to why torturing prisoners is wrong" is simply shorthand for "I actually like the idea of this torture and you can't tell me otherwise". Like I said, I can't make an argument as to why you

This is not the argument you think it is - of course the people creating an unjust system will define their own system as just. We know that there are better ways, and appealing to tautology is just sort of burying one's head in the sa

You are free to disagree and be in the moral wrong, and on the wrong side of history. There are good examples of much better humanitarian penal systems with far better outcomes in Scandinavian countries that demonstrate this reality well. R

What you call "righteous punishment" is just revenge. You want revenge. It is a natural response to being wronged. But that is not justice. And it is no way to build a society. To be overly cliche, two wrongs do not make a right.

If inflation is higher than the interest rate, you make money by taking out debt. Its a similar concept to how if you're wealthy enough you can issue margin indefinitely and you pay the interest with more margin, so you never actually

Biden isnt hopping in a time machine to take things away from you. Nothing is being taken from you. Someone else is getting something that you are not, that's all.

Err.. did you just look at your taxes and think, "this must be that student loan forgiveness!!"? Student loan forgiveness is not being "paid for", because no money is changing hands. It is debt that is being forgiven. Th

Ok, so we're agreed that you're not affected at all but instead want to talk about an entirely different concern. This concern is where does the money "come from?". No money is coming from anywhere, because no money is c

It is debt that does disappear if it is forgiven.

It is not a tax levied on you, so you are not paying for it.

If you paid your loans off, you don't lose anything by someone else getting $10,000. That is, indeed, incontrovertible. Imagine I have an apple and you have an apple. If I get another apple, that doesn't mean you now have zero.

This is bucket-crab talk. Not getting a reward is not the same as getting penalized; those who paid everything off have an unchanged situation. You might say the action doesn't go far enough and should lift up more people, and there is
