Correct. If you live in [poor high-percentage African-American town in Alabama] you cannot choose to go to high school in [wealthy mostly-white town in Massachusetts]. (Setting aside private schools...)

If there is no competition (substitute, for given use cases and/or customers) and customers are willing to pay for it, then that is pretty much the definition of its being justified.

The shingles vaccine that I got 4 years ago was a two-shot vaccine. Is this another new(er) vaccine?

A patent is an asset. An asset is anything that has present or future value to a company. So - being granted the patent is a reward for creating the invention and going through the process of filing the patent.

The GP was not talking about a layoff but a termination "at the whim of a boss." I've also worked at a number of big companies in the US, in "at-will" states, and the process is much like the GP describes.

Well, it says something about how much value is being created, which is ultimately where jobs and taxes come from, so I think it's somewhat useful.

Given the large # of people who are shareholders directly and indirectly, sounds like being good for shareholders is a good thing.

Well, the US outperforms Germany on productivity, innovation, and GDP / capita as well. Pretty sure that if there were no businesses, there'd be a lot less tax revenue as well. And given that Germany spends way, way, way less on d

And yet, looking at a list of the top 10 tech companies in the world (by market cap), not one comes from Germany. The top seven are all from the US. Only one from Germany in the top 20 - SAP at #17, with a market cap of less than half of th

Sounds great. I've been to Denmark a number of times. Nice place :) As long as there's no requirement to join a union it's cool if they exist.

Anarchy would be without laws. I am describing liberty. There are people whose work is worth less than $20 / hour. If there is a minimum wage, those people are not able to work. So they don't have the freedom to work if they want

Uhh, those are antithetical to individual freedom. If I want to work for less than the minimum salary, I can't. If I want to work at a company and not join a union, I can't. As someone once said, "the true minimum wage is zer
