Lack of majority in parliament is nothing new. The 5th made it harder to happen, but when it does, the constitution gives no way to handle the situation. Hard to get MPs to compromise on something when they know that, soon enough, they&#x27

Your first example is a case of lawmakers not willing to finish the job moreso than of regulation being bad. That is like saying "when we write software there are bugs, so rather than fix them, we should never write software again&quot

Yeah, one man’s "challenging but feasible" becomes the next man’s "arbitrary". The difference between small increments and giving a status updates every week is that if your task needs multiple status updates, it’s not s

Yeah, that is my point: you don’t need to fire-sell to get fast cash, you can just use your capital as collateral.

That is the meaning of what I call orderly liquidation. Sales are usually structured in order not to crash the market. That being said, just because you need to structure a big sale does not mean it can not be done, or that you can not leve

The issue with people setting deadline is that they can rarely tell the difference between a $50 job and a $5k job. If they were good, they would work on improving the flow, not pulling random numbers from their hat.

As a procrastinator, however, I can definitely say that the corollary is not true: work doesn’t shrink to fit available remaining time. Therefore, setting arbitrary deadlines as advocated in this article is the worst possible idea. It will

Why is that? Just because an orderly liquidation would take some time does not mean it would be impossible for him to sell. As a case in point, when he decided to invest in twitter, he was able to use his wealth pretty easily.

I don’t like the decision either, but the point you make (tech-savvy people can bypass it) doesn’t acknowledge the fact that you don’t need to block 100% of users to have an effective measure. Most people don’t know how to use a vpn, or eve
