It's about more than comparing faces (which you do every day IRL, it's just not as effortless in the game because of low resolution.) The game is about how far you are willing to compromise your ethics to help yourself and your f

Huh? GP's comment seemed cogent and well-reasoned. In my universe, that is the opposite of disagreeable.

I agree with you, that one can live on cap-gains until the assets run out. I was replying to birdyrooster, who said > borrow against the value of their inflated shares and never have to pay income taxes ... which is not about selling sto

Either I'm missing your point, or you are missing mine. Any loans that the ultra-rich take out against their assets to fund their lifestyle, are going to have an associated interest rate, and a payment schedule. If they don't wan

Ultimately, economic growth is driven by population growth.[0] And also, there is a feedback loop where population growth is encouraged by economic growth. Since people require material and energy input, and there is a limit to both on th

Their point was that -- since there are a finite number of atoms in the universe-- it is a given that there exists some upper-bound on growth. They are intentionally calling attention to that absurd extreme as a rhetoric device, not out of
