Yeah it's kind of depressing because at least a few key points the vast majority seem to agree on but it's just totally untenable to implement. There are a lot of choices nations can make that serve as a sort of one way valve wit

I would add a third which is allow more dangerous housing. You heard it. We all agree to risk, just a little more, we all die in a horrible fire so that the least among us have a better chance of owning a home through something other than

Simple, you pay through the nose the first 10 years to someone who already waited 10 years to snatch up something to sub-let out to you. Then you do the same thing to somebody else to get the money back. That way you can pay the absolute h

I hope those countries would adapt by competing and fixing the things that fuck up their business climate. Also worth noting if their labor flees the price of labor in their country would rise and hopefully make things better for the remai

I would do a negative income tax basically at the lowest earnings (that is they basically get graduated credits). I'd simplify the tax code so we'd only need half the IRS or less and then repurpose some of them to making sure the

Presuming drawing arbitrary lines must improve a situation is probably the worst argument I've heard on HN and that's saying something. Also astonishing to call the difference between ~$1B in total wealth and ~$1M in wealth a &quo

What are the conditions that "necessitated" that someone with a $1B value mansion as their primary residence and $999,000 in the bank isn't qualified to invest in these securities while someone with $1,000,001 in the bank is?

Why is society better off when I'm allowed to drop bands on the truck stop stripper instead of buying toys for my kid? The individual should not be forced at all steps to selflessly act in the benefit of society. There are a non-zero

If your position is they're literally getting the highest amount possible they could, even more than they could in private cold capitalist industries they're qualified for, then it's kind of crazy to characterize them as bein

It would be an interesting experiment if we fired all the social workers and gave the money of the salary and all the overhead of those programs directly to the poor, and compare the outcomes.

I would use "scam" in the sense of offering unregistered securities. Not in the sense of willful fraud. In that sense yes I think the poors should have as much right to buy into a scam as the accredited investor.

You don't have the opinion social workers have the skills to obtain higher paid work? How do you have such low opinion of social workers that you find their skills non-transferable and even compare their skill level to that of fast fo

Yes I believe the poors ought to be able to drop bands on a well meaning idiot just as easily as the truck stop stripper.

If nobody does at the current wage, then wages will have to rise to meet supply/demand. As it stands individuals see the good feels as part of their wages. Otherwise they would do something higher paying. IF nobody does the job becau

Someone with the skills to be a social worker, on average, can use those skills for higher paid work. They are knowingly trading the good feeling they get when helping people for the cash they could get by being a cold capitalist. You can

The government made this thing called "accredited investor" which is just code for not one of the poors. I wish it wasn't necessary for the poors to use crypto to moonshot on various grifts.

Economically viable but not economically competitive. The populace of North Korea are basically slaves yet their economy is in the shitters. Workers competing for most productive use of their labor leads to better outcome for the rich cap

Why are we allowed to assume they didn't make the decision lightly but not able to assume just maybe it is extremely unlikely they have credible evidence of guilt. You play the "oh I don't know anything game" while simul

Let's say there is a freckled girl in front of me. I could do all the following 1) See freckles 2) Find it attractive 3) Fire them 4) Convince others freckles are evil and all freckled people need executed 5) Not watch their show becau

Yes it ensures I will never watch the show again because I find their presumptuous morals repulsive. The aggregate effect I suppose will definitely have an effect on the brand. IMO they trashed their brand by sacking people before they we

The accuser is unknown and the accused is a smart guy with counsel. Which means from the employer viewpoint they know some <redacted> person accused him and they get a generic response from the lawyer about not being able to comment

What on earth "best knowledge" could an employer know about domestic disputes? America has a deep deep well of benefits offered to people who claim domestic violence. They can get a TRO and have the children and gun rights taken

Kelseyfrog is trolling and enjoys using straw-man arguments to poke fun at other ideologies. I've debated with them before. Have you ever seen an ancap with pronouns in their profile lol? It's sarcasm.

I think the edit timer hasn't timed out. May want to go back and at least make it look like that's what your "post one" said.
