If you got rid of mortgage interest, then almost no one could afford to buy a home.

No, their analogy was pretty spot on. Yours is ignoring a huge amount.

The magnitude of the impact, however, would be much different between the two.

"Tax cuts always have a higher impact on the wealthy because, well, they pay more taxes." They also get the most income and wealth. "This isn’t a bad thing. That money won’t dissapear. It’ll get spent or invested (either dire

I would disagree that's a market.

Cons: Insurance and pre-existing conditions. Not to put a damper on your post, as it sounds like you have had good success. But this is a very real thing for many people. When I graduated and went out into the world, I needed insurance, and

Not to mention, you'll be paid enough that you can easily pay off your loans, and you can hopefully put a good sized chunk away so you'll be more able to weather the startup paying less.

They're concentrated for reasons. It's highly debatable whether those reasons are "good". We all take risk. I could find myself working for a company that doesn't make it, or just decides to fire me at a moment&#x27

Ideas don't create value. Ideas represent the potential for value.

Why should that be limited to those who make six figures?

The Midwest, not in a major city like Chicago.

But what if it turns out the family hates it or the job is terrible and soul crushing? Now I'm kinda stuck there for 4 years.

Probably a good amount of them. But if you want to hire them, and you don't want to be there, you have to think pretty hard about how you're going to lure them away. Just saying, "The cost of living here is lower!" is a

In some aspects. In others, such as public health, it is not.

Markets aren't organizations.

But those are both Apple apps. I wouldn't expect that, just because I gave access to FB or Twitter to see my photos, that they'd get the location of them too.

But their strategy was still go to after the high end market, instead of try to target the low end market and go up.

"No, basically nobody had expensive luxury electric cars before Tesla." But high end luxury cars were a thing. Tesla wasn't competing with just electric cars, they were competing with all cars.

Some people, but clearly not a lot of people.

Isn't that what Tesla did, though?

I'm going to say far less technically involved than fixing their harassment problem.

by s73ver_ 9y ago
I completely disagree. There is nothing unfair about this move. It affects both parties equally.

It's only protectionism if the existing taxi companies didn't have to do it. In fact, if Uber doesn't, but the taxi companies do, that's also protectionism, but for Uber.

"You also already necessarily have a device capable of calling 911 by using Uber (your own phone)." Because there is absolutely no way that calling 911 on the person sitting next to you and in control of a 2 ton vehicle is going t

by s73ver_ 9y ago
That's fine, but why should the taxis be subject to regulation that Uber/Lyft aren't?
927.
by s73ver_ 9y ago
Given that, right now, taxi companies do have to do this, and Uber doesn't, I would say no, this is going to affect Uber the same. As it should.

Very few of those who would be carrying everywhere would have the kind of training needed to be effective at stopping crime, even if they were to be around it.
