I wrote Emergency Remote[0] for companies thrown into remote due to the situation. From my experience, it seems that the reason companies use sync communication and "emulating" an office is not because they don't understand t

> Because it helps align incentives. You can have a 7% tax on sales, or a 5% tax on sales plus a 2% tax based on a noisy correlate. The latter will raise more revenue at a lower excess cost. I see. Well we seems to have different goals.

Note that a sales tax as only tax means no income tax, so overall a gain to production incentives.

An economy is driven by production, not consumption.

If you take a look at the data, "investing in land" wasn't as luxurious as it is today, due to government actions inflating the market.

But what is investing other the attempt (aware or unaware) of creating wealth? When people make money, it means someone bought something from them. This means they had to create something other want. That can be a service, a good, or a hous

It actually makes much more sense to use a uniform sales tax: (1) If you spend more, you're taxed more. Obviously this is better for poorer people, who spend less, but also for rich yet reserved people, who keep most of their money in

I never said it existed, but that the US has less of it then it had.

Correlation doesn't imply causation. If you want we can discuss a specific "horrible thing" and examine the ties to capitalism at the time.

I have clarified my original definition, that would be self defense, in the same way that if someone tries to coerce a knife into your throat, you can coerce their face to the pavement.

Yes that is correct. It really depends on the approach to libertarian law, but protection boils down to contractual limitations that come with purchasing a copy. I also know of some libertarians that do not oppose IP itself, but claim that

I may have needed to be clearer, but coercion in response to coercion is self-defense. If someone physically forced their way to your property (if you'd let them, no violence will be needed), you have a right to defend yourself, and th

Depends what the owner of that house wants to do. It will be within their right to evacuate that person. Otherwise if you want a house all you have to do is go bankrupt then pick an empty mansion.

As I said in another comment, you're attacking a straw man. I did not say pure capitalism existed before, but that the US is less capitalist today than before.

They wrongly call the current economy in the US "capitalist". The US is less capitalist than ever.

Both aisles, conservatives and leftists, support Cronyism with their actions. It was the Bush adminstration that came up with the plan the save Wall Street, and it was Obama's that passed that plan, in one form or another.

The establishment you describe in step 1 is the government. Wall street could not do what they do now without government involvement. They will run out of money, and have to suffer the losses of the bad loans they make, instead of relying

A P/E ratio of 94.33 for Amazon is surely a bubble.

Well, they have a proven track record of predicting crises in a very precise manner. You can just browse YouTube to see it. See other comments of my explaining the virus is a pin that burst a bubble already there.

> Markets can always stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. That's very true. People will read and decide for themselves.
