The Fed has mandate that has nothing to do with the motivation of the banks. That's a huge difference - they create money for entirely different reasons. And yes, the Fed has an enormous macroeconomic impact obviously.

Why would rates go up in an economy that is getting better? Is it only because the Fed would increase rates in response to the improvement? In a free market, I imagine they would go down because people would trust the government's abil

Where there are historic buildings or city towns there should be a limit to the number of tourists visiting - to help persevere the work (ie walls crumbling under pressure) or simply to make living around the area livable or getting to the

There are also 1 day / 2 day / 5 day meditation retreats for those who are looking for something less intense. Still can be great experiences. I once did a 4 day retreat but left after the 3rd day because I felt good and like I go

I think they could meet those needs elsewhere but they can be choosey so why not.

This doesn't really explain why they didn't pick NJ or Boston which are liberal, well educated, incredibly diverse and multicultural. Also the sentiment of "reduce business regulations" goes together with conservative po

Despite you being downvoted, I really liked your points. As someone whose parents came from a tiny country with which there was little to no network once arriving - I can attest to our experience of quickly integrating. I believe it was a g

Just to be clear... "The limits are calculated each fiscal year depending on the total number of family-sponsored and employment-based visas available. No more than 7 percent of the visas may be issued to natives of any one independent

I don't think so - because these larger countries have organized systems in place to bring people over. Something small countries can't benefit from.

How would a man feel if a male interview invited them to meet his wife and him, who are into polyamory or what not? I feel like the connotations are clear are inappropriate during an interview.

This is a great point.

Yes I think the cons of this outweigh the pros. Ultimately, people will stop getting their information on FB if it becomes too obvious it is being skewed unfairly.

So are you saying that if the Fed prints $x money, it gets back $x money + interest. It is using the interest to pay back the $x money... and then in theory it erases it from its balance sheet. What does it do with the excess money it colle

I think doctors / nurses / etc would be very resistant to making less. Not sure if it can be avoided but I think we're not in a good situation where someone could make it big being a video game developer but not being a docto

Croatia sadly does not have a tax treaty with the US so one would be paying extra taxes if they were a US citizen.

We've seen that its easier to act altruistically once you're a billionaire. I think there can be an element of that - but why lobby to force other companies to do the same?

Interesting thanks - is this something recent that has changed? I don't get the sense that this was how it was even 4-5 years ago. Do you think these salaries are sustainable?
