I haven't really seen the assumption that "if you were any good, you'd already be in the Bay Area." I have seen sort of the opposite, though -- if you are experienced, you likely have a family and there is no way in hell

Yes, your point is clear, though I'm not sure if I agree or not :). I think the confusion is over the term "benefits". In the usage I've seen, benefits includes things not directly associated with the income tax code,

Nope, you are pretty much the only person I've seen that uses the term income tax to mean income tax and benefits.

As another poster pointed out, some people with low income pay a negative income tax. I guess it could be "lowered" but I don't think that's what you meant, or at least you didn't make it clear. Do you have any evi

One possibility: unemployment is defined as someone who is not working AND actively looking. If wages at McD went up to $15 an hour, some people who were not actively looking may enter the workforce.

Most economists wouldn't say that because it is wrong. At least in the US, people with low incomes pay little to nothing in (income) taxes. They may face high "effective" tax rates due to losing low-income benefits, but tha

are companies typically forthcoming with information about liquidation preferences? At jobs I've asked and been told the percentage of allocation, valuation, and runway, but have never asked about liquidation preferences. Also, does i

In general I agree with your argument, I just think there are a small percentage of actual sociopaths in the world (I've met one). > I'm not sure what you are calling the premise and what you are calling the conclusion. But in

"The truth is that constantly stealing and manipulating instead of relaxing and focusing on producing real value to trade with others is not in your self interest." Do you have any proof this is true? I would guess there are whol

From the link: "When looking at the list, it’s hard to miss how the costs seem to break down according to the red-blue political divide." I love arguments that invite you to interpret statistics based on your biases. No analysis given to th

I have to agree with the posters above. What is the question at hand? I'd assume from the title you would be explaining why bitcoin is deflationary and why that is okay. (What is okay?) What you actually seem to be addressing is whether

It's been awhile since I read Fooled by Randomness but I think Taleb's point was that TMND only looks at those who became rich, it doesn't look at those who didn't get rich following the same strategy. I haven't read TMND so I can't say if

Are you sure? I just pulled up the a graph of US GDP from Google: http://www.housingbubblebust.com/GDP/Depression.html FDR took office in March of 1933, which looks like when things got better.
