That parenthood out of wedlock is a tragedy is true, but how can you or said articles authors be sure the link between teens today not having them being because of sex ed in school? I’m not saying it’s unlikely, but I’m wondering if there i

Browsing the web is equivalent of your butler shouting to another butler to please GET /some/page, and the other butler then kindly replying with a document. Theft requires the action to not be voluntary, but a web server replying

Morally, blocking ads is equivalent of having your butler cut the ads out of the newspaper before handing it to you.

Are you sure? It could just as well be because of the internet catching our attention so boys and girls don’t spend it on each other like they used to. No evidence for either claim although both sound plausible

Travelling from Germany (in EU) to Israel (outside of EU) with something worth 300k - is there any chance it’s not someone trying to hide a big transfer from the German state? (Good for him if so! Tax evasion is moral)

Political parties attract to their tops sophists who can manipulate and form personal alliances - it does not select for who can provide the greatest value at the lowest price.

No law of nature says government should use tax money or print money to fund failing banks. Doing so is centrally planning banking, and almost be definition less efficient, just like central planning of any market (such as currency markets

No more deaths in Sweden this year than previous years. Our hospitals already suffered from lines long enough for people to die before getting care. Waiting in line is always the result of socialist government monopolies, and this was the c

This kind of thinking is the same as looking at a software product and thinking “I could hack that in a weekend”. It’s more complex than our first intuition. I’d prefer the other way - remove government intervention in banking, but also rem

Using government force to limit freedom of people for “safety” - as if government existed to be served, rather than to serve and protect the rights of free citizens. In Sweden where we have no lockdown or similar there are no more deaths th

My guess is that few if any institution can run a SQL query with AS OF to get a view of the state of the company at a certain date, but that this information instead is spread out in a hundred databases, paper files, obscure locations known

In my home Sweden the government has enforced no limitation in liberty due to this virus - they have recommended social distancing, but no force. Restaurants, shops, and bars have fewer customers, but they and other business is surviving. T

For posterity: I misremembered how much wealth is disincentivized in Norway - it’s “only” 0.85% wealth tax and 24% capital gains. This explains why there are way fewer who become millionaires in Norway than in Switzerland, even if Norway is

Thank you! This is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Had to read the post through a few times. The comment section had people asking the same questions I had and more, and with insightful discussion.

Thank you for replying. It’s a 650 page document, and I must say I admire you for having read through the quite wordy prose therein. I can’t commit to reading it all through to understand how to model whether human action warms earth, and h

Is it common for rich Norwegians to legally move to Sweden and use almost Swiss level ISK to escape the 25% capital gains and ~1.4% wealth tax?

COVID-19 reinfection is negligible. Only 26 cases worldwide are reported - sad for them but they are extreme abnormal cases. Immunity seems to work with this virus as well. https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/08&#x2

What incentive is driving this trend is democracies? In UK, America, Japan, pretty much every other western/European democracy the government debt is ever growing and money printing is only growing and growing.

Luckily it’s in Sweden where there is no minimum wage law and no need to declare when the income is as low as for these birds. Also, the labour law is speciecist and does not apply to individuals who don’t pass as “human”

I will judge the business owner as prejudiced - but it does not make it ethical to send armed men forcing them to trade money for labour with Irishmen. Government laws in the end require enforcement, otherwise they are just nice words. It’s
