What would you specifically propose?

Can anyone make an objective case that this was a bad deal for share holders?

That one. And thank you. I wasn't familiar with the SLAC. Interestingly according to Wikipedia "As of 2005, SLAC employed over 1,000 people, some 150 of whom were physicists with doctorate degrees"

They show a chart of the various 'non-teaching' roles. To my eyes, research positions are not included.

This all may be so. I have no strong opinion on if they will or will not 'waste' their population. But it seems you and others are not addressing the subject issue of the demographic cliff. That point of the demographic cliff is t

When the issue is already manifest, the margins presumably matter. But either way, the point was just to align the reply with the original comment's point.

The point is that doing so would exacerbate their demographic cliff issue.

Jonathan Haidt would argue that their coping mechanisms are not as well developed due to less unstructured play time (conflict resolution without appealing to an adult).

Fair distinction. But even in the hard money lending case, the implication is that money is being freed up to circulate. More velocity leads to more inflation

Agree with your first 3 points. I would also say though that your experience with housing is not unexpected, but this does not contradict the point I'm trying to make. The comparison would be the situation where you bought that house w

"When you lend money from a bank, you will not spend it on fancy restaurant visits. Because you know you will have to pay it back." This doesn't reflect consumer behavior. Just consider a simple example ignoring future income

One statement is from the perspective of owning X. The other is presumably from the hypothetical perspective of being an owner of Disney. They aren't really contradictory. If you watched the actual interview, it's clear he believe

Why? There are tons of no-go danger zones all over the world already. Creating some more for nuclear waste is a minimal tradeoff. It sounds like you simply don't want to be convinced. You've fallen for the propaganda.

It’s the counter. One of the rebuttals to the conjecture that the sphinx is older use to be that if it was, other older structures would exist (and at the time they did not)

Just piggybacking on this since the context is relevant. I don't think there is anything wrong with dink'ing. I think there is a personality thing at play. I'm only 5 months into parenthood, and it is exhausting. I don't

You could make an argument that something like that is an externality. But capitalism’s goal is closer to incentivizing productivity by marrying needs and opportunity for mutual gain.

Curious, can you expand on your jobs vs woz take. My impression is they were both A players with entirely different competencies

Why would you go all in? A small allocation is fine

One of the best tools to suppress discovery of real conspiracies is to generate an abundance of obtuse conspiracy theories to discredit and confuse the entire sphere.

Haha yes, thanks for pointing that out

It’s not really clear the growth has to come in physical (unsustainable forms). The growth can be ephemeral as the currency inflates. I’m not arguing this is what is actually occurring.

There are many doctors, lawyers, therapists, etc who are juggling mortgages or wanting to buy a house, and loan payments. Your point isn’t mute though

by tmn 3y ago
Yeah I guess I haven’t felt it personally (the power imbalance)

There is a double standard sure. It's up to us to make the best of our situation.

You’re not accurately representing my claim. I said this dynamic exists as one (of many) mechanisms to incentivize employers to allow wfh. Not that its existence will prevent cartels or employer coordination.

I agree. I don't think it's inconsistent to implement said advice and to utilize Pareto Principle.

The market for employers to match with employees. The freedom for such associations to be mutually accepted.

The same thing you do with all of your lightning interfacing devices?

This creates the opportunity for an employer to not ‘coordinate’ and thus have an edge in attracting talent

This is a clear straw man is it not? Who is saying gas stations aren’t allowed to install ev charge stations?
