Unfortunately, I keep using Facebook to keep in contact with my family (this includes part of my extended family whom I haven't seen since childhood). I'm not sure it has much value since we rarely communicate through Facebook as

>> Who exactly is "we"? Second Life is not so popular today, but it was pretty huge with some people for a very long time. There were two things that killed Second Life's growth. 1. It was poorly managed in every respec

I'm still not sold on the whole VR idea myself and I loved (and still love) Second Life. Frankly, if I want a share space online I'll just boot up Minecraft or Facebook. They're both just as fulfilling as a full VR headset an

That reminds me of a lecture by Murray Rothbard regarding the matter of productivity and religious beliefs. He noted that Catholicism although sees idleness as a sin, it doesn't confuse leisure time with it. Whereas Protestants of the

So, I should be required to hire someone at a daycare center even if that person was a child molester (unrepentant)? I'm not trying to lure you in the "think of the children" trap, but it's an honest question in light of

Thanks for the break down. I think all the points are true within the context that it's clear the negative interest rate is a way to get around problems of stimulating the economy, but also that there's certain banks who would lov
