I think the push back comes from the fact that in many of these places, Government policies are very favorable to owners and investors. In California, for example, property taxes are extremely low, while sales and income taxes are the high

Presumably Mark Cuban got screwed because if The Style Club ever scaled up and became a massive success, there is an obvious and near-indefensible (if Howard's evidence is accurate) shareholder lawsuit from the previous investors patie

Almost no 100-year stakeholders exist. Real property owners will have the most to lose but even they have a much shorter time horizon. The solution is probably for some combination of Federal and State led remediation funded by raising th

What if your kid came to you and said they wanted to live at home for a few years after college to save up $? Presuming that you all get along and they are progressing towards mutually agreeable goals. Related to this is what kind of care

I think America is in a state of flux in terms of society's perspective on the appropriate level of financial independence of young adults. For baby boomers it seemed like you hit 18 and were ''up and out'' and exp

A more interesting question would be, after all he has experienced: Does Jimmy Wales really want to be rich?

People talk a lot about futuristic sex robots but what about VR experiences that are not only physical but deeply emotional - wherein you experience seduction and actually fall in love? Think about riding in a weeks long 18 hour a day RPG

Medication works best in combination with therapy. A med check takes 15 minutes once a month while therapy might be 2 hours a week. You can guess which insurance covers.

Does it make you a defender of the liberal west to take in so many foreign refugees (without the necessary resources for cultural and economic assimilation) that your citizens revolt and move to far right nationalist parties? Because that

Everyone knows what the solution is. One way or another, the Feds need to provide broader subsidies and some form of reinsurance to the ACA market, the same way they already do to the medicaid market via those states who have expanded medi

My sense is that the US election has been a major source of traffic for Reddit (and Facebook, Twitter, etc). It will be interesting to see what happens after tonight.

Anyone with high IQ kids should check out the Johns Hopkins CTY program. I felt bored, uncomfortable and out of place pretty much my entire pre-college educational life, with only a small handful of positive experiences, CTY being the best

No financing is required unless you want to run a budget deficit. Greece is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. They could use that sector as the cornerstone to rebuild. They would be poor (to start) but they would

You can still hustle from the edges inward, you just have to be a bit more creative about it. I probably can't hit up Marc directly but I bet I could find people who know him well enough to provide an intro but who aren't so well

I used to be concerned about that. Look at Japan. They are monetizing absolutely everything in sight and the currency barely moves. Apparently your 'cultural equity' in the face of global chaos counts for a lot more than anyone

I think we can hit $40 to $60 trillion in debt (in real terms) before the system starts to collapse. In other words, at least 20 years from now, maybe much more. I have no faith in either political party to exercise fiscal restraint or co

The more prohibitively expensive California (and the Bay Area in particular) becomes, the better it is for the rest of the country - entrepreneurial talent has already started to relocate elsewhere, and I expect this trend to continue, perh

Presumably if it was implemented in a Constitutional way then you wouldn't be as opposed to a community electing to self-impose it. I see that as extension of the community policing movement. As to what the voting majorities in these
