Basically laws should be followed, they should be serious, they should be real. A law shouldn't be aspirational and people shouldn't go well that is a good goal to set.

Yes we do, that's literally what a marketcap is. People who are sure it isn't correct can beat against it and profit in the correction.

I agree with the problem, not sure about the solution. We don't have a good small/middle ground crime punishment. I actually don't hate the idea around the Chinese social credit score system (China's use of it is abusive

It doesn't need "encouraging" consuming nicotine to feel good is something humans have done for centuries. People like nicotine, same way they like drinking, like smoking week, or like eating a donut. None of those things are

Housing isn't tied to employment and isn't like health care. Health care not being separated from jobs is a real issue, and I am shocked more businesses don't push to decouple it as well as it doesn't help anyone.

People have consumed Tobacco (I assume in the search of Nicotine) for centuries. There is obviously some human enjoyment and satisfaction in doing so. Transitioning from more harmful smoking to less harmful 'smoking' is good. Lett

Writers who develop a name can leave a lower salary for higher pay directly selling newsletters and articles. NYT makes writers famous. It creates a natural friction once a person has a "brand" and can leave for more money and les

For some businesses Facebook is great, bars that have events, getting a better feel for an apartment complex, a couple other things like that. I won't use it as a maps but to find a place hosting a trivia night it is really useful.

If an Application team is finding and fixing a lot of vulnerabilities and bugs is that a good thing or a bad thing? The answer is it depends on the context.

Or just raise the price of water to a market level and let things work themselves out. people waste and act irrationally when they get something for less than it should cost.

Yes, I should have been more clear what people will pay compared to substitutions available and competition in the marketplace for that good.

Pricing is based on what people will pay, not what a thing costs to produce. This has always been true.

This seems to be a clear case of management working against shareholders. Twitter stock has gone nowhere since IPO 10 years ago. 10 years of no dividends and no appreciation in value. Elon is offering a decent premium on the current price a

I might be on the other side of the article as I came away thinking the tax avoidance of the elite rich isn't nearly as bad as I thought it was. I thought they had loopholes to dodge almost all taxes, but the numbers show most pay more

It doesn't at all. As I read it I thought this article was the anthesis of Fear and Loathing (before reading your comment). Fear and Loathing being about fully embracing and being in the event (or the meta of the event). This reporting

Who cares if the data center mines crypto, processes Facebook ads, or makes Pokémon appear on people's phones? As long as the city negotiates and put clauses to cover themselves in the contract then they should go for it. Why try to po

Protestors should protest legally. They shouldn't block roads. They shouldn't break windows. They shouldn't burn buildings. When they don't they should be broken up/arrested/charged with the crimes they break.
