McDonalds is already being used as such a place across the country. In Canada, Tim Hortons is used similarly as well. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jun/08/mcdonalds-c... http://www

If you could before, and can't now, isn't that pretty much a definition of "losing it"?

No countries actually had communism, but if we're talking about socialism, then you're mostly right. My opinion is that there are many reasons for it, including: - Those countries were poor and without sufficiently established dem

> Funding comes from local property taxes so rich neighborhood get more money, poor ones get less. I used to think so too, but I don't think that is exactly the case. School districts usually span many neighborhoods, rich and poor.

All of this already exists if you're able and willing to pay for it. Private jet rentals, charters, time shares, etc. E.g. https://www.netjets.com/Programs/Program-compare/

Agreed, it doesn't explain many other outliers too. A classic exploration of this, and a direct refutation of Malkiel is Buffett's own: https://www8.gsb.columbia.edu/articles/columbia-business/sup...

I was more alluding to the fact that these courtyard playgrounds are easily accessible for kids directly from their apartments, and don't have to be driven to by adults. As far as cars, it was almost impossible to get up to higher than

Brooklyn is one of very few places in America where kids can roam around all over. It's a highly walkable, pedestrian friendly place with excellent public transit options. Most of America is not like that at all.

It takes time for these shifts to play out, but I'd say the reverse is already happening. For a couple of examples that the article provided (Apple, Google), one can find a lot more examples of opposite -- stalwart companies moving bac

I'm curious how one can end up paying the full personal tax rate as an owner of a business. After expenses, depreciation, write-offs such as home office, vehicle, etc., you still don't have to pay yourself the entire corporate n
