Wait, if we did that, how would we silence people we disagree with?

Well, in this case it all boils down to a personal choice of what you label "reasonable".

I wonder how do they plan for those requests to be authenticated. Easily proving that you are you over the internet is not a solved problem.

No, people won't consume less, as long as they have the same disposable income. Unless you mean that this will hurt the economy and people will become poorer. In that case yes, they will consume less, but not sure how it can be seen a

Musk, Byrne, maga and a couple of heads of state. Maybe some of them are not great people in your or author's opinion, but it just reads unnecessary and petty.

So many random personal insults in the article. Why? They certainly don't make the article better

Except that people don't actually want that, if they did, they would read it. They just got confused by the signup form and accidentally left the checkbox checked

I'm curious. Isn't low open rate pointing to the fact that people don't want to read what you send them? How is this marketing email different from spam?

Well come on, imagine flour was a bit more sticky and if you put 1kg in the bag, only 900g is usable because the rest sticks to the walls. Would that be 1kg bag of flour or 900g bag of flour?

There's nothing bizarre here: there are enough people in those democracies, who believe regulating this is either not a good idea or not high enough priority

Why is it a poor proxy though? His father provided those services and passed some of the resulting wealth to his son. The quality of the proxy doesn't change depending on who's spending. Whatever the son spends, the father can&#x2

> wealth is a poor measure of the amount of services provided to others It's the best we have though. Otherwise, should we also randomly distribute best homes, or whatever else is in limited supply?

There is no "market" serving people, only other people do. Are you proposing to force them to serve cheaper or perhaps for free?

by unpopular42 4y ago
Now, why is that a bad thing? Not everyone can live in the best location, not everyone can drive the best car, not everyone can attend the best concert. There is no other way when many people want something that is in limited supply - someo
