People like Trump have been elected since there were elections. Keep the lame political statements elsewhere.

How is a gini coefficient relevant to higher priced products due to regulatory overhead? It seems you have an axe to grind and derailed the conversion to compare the US with ancient Rome. Please provide a citation showing a correlation betw

There is a legitimate argument behind treating water as a market good like anything else. There is an incredible amount of waste due to water rights in California (e.g. Almond growing during droughts) because water isn't sold in an auc

Right, exposing a memcached server is bad because memcached isn't meant to be public. However, in the context of DRDoS discussions it doesn't matter if the UDP service is good for public exposure. That's completely a distract

But that has nothing to do with optimal outcomes for a business or the optimal utility for society. Also, it doesn't dispose of the concept of owner. It's exactly like a publicly traded company with shareholders. The only differen

No, Uber says it's profitable in the US. Also, the two products aren't really interchangeable because the main reason I use Uber/Lyft is that they fix the scamming nature of cabs (lying about broken credit card reader, ineffi

Making those two companies employee-owned would do absolutely nothing to spur innovation. Changing who gets the profits doesn't change the fact that a lock on the market means the best strategy is to coast on your existing products.

And taking down UDP services is just as folly. It only takes a 1000 servers with 100 mbps upload streams to wipe out any single load balancer. There are at least that many root name servers.
