I think that's an argument, but not necessarily a good one Need to balance transparency in pricing vs. visibility of taxes. I don't think sales taxes are actually all that visible most of the time- it's not like the cashier i

The piece to add there is that all this money is getting paid by the consumer. The overseas piece doesn't change, same number of US dollars going to the other country. The $24 increase in cost is paid by the US consumer.

No, it's not a desirable end state. If we produced everything in the US — just assuming we had magic tech to make it possible - we'd have less and be poorer. Americans today live like kings from 200 years ago, in large part due to

This seems pretty suspicious. The whole org is about 450k people and overall federal employment peaked in the 1990s.

It's not clear to me how you can be a full-time employee and be doing full-time child care. I understand the need for schedule flexibility, but if going back to the office means you need to find child care it seems to suggest some of t

I don't get it. The article says most of the fleet will be electric.

I think the issue is that TSMC exists, which takes up a lot of oxygen and opportunity. Whereas in space, there wasn't a high quality opportunity, so SpaceX had a lower hurdle to being the best (even though that still wasn't easy!)

This can be done without Chevron - Congress just needs to be more explicit than they were pre-Chevron, or else risk lengthy litigation.

We could do that. But generally businesses are better at allocating capital than government, and less and less research is funded by government these days so I don't think the government has a strong track record.

Pharma companies also make and study dozens of drugs that don't make it. We need the successful drugs to fund the unsuccessful ones. Given that I believe there are still many more amazing drugs and medical interventions to be discovere

A lot of the more immediate impact of sea level rise, though, is increased frequency of hard to predict storm surge. And while we know there's sea level rise, we don't know how much; if we knew sea level rise would stop at +4.2 fe

I think your tone is not helpful here. The parent isn't attacking you. Clearly US & ROW card markets are wildly different due to various regulations; the structure of the US market and related incentives are pretty unusual. A state

In this specific experiment, people earned $0.20 less for every $1 they were given mainly due to working fewer hours. Those hours were primarily shifted to leisure. (This is not a value statement, just what the study found.)

My impression, using it ~1x/week in SF: Slightly more expensive than uber (+10%?). Takes a bit longer to show up (+25%?). Utterly magical experience.

No one argued that deflation is better. But it is obviously true that inflation-adjusted minimum wages are much (20%+!) lower than they were a couple years ago.

by milesskorpen 3y ago
Sure, inflation rates have come down from their highs, but we don't have deflation so $1 today is still worth less than $1 from 2020 — which means $15/hr minimum wage is worth less today than in 2020.
