Your right, it's only about $30k per year. And an employee isn't the same as a shareholder, unless that employee controls a non-profit, runs it to make substantial profits and skims those profits by paying themselves and their cro

I've had an original Apple Watch for three years and have never needed more battery life. You charge it when you sleep. It charges super fast so if your forget you can charge it while taking a shower. When I forgot to charge it once, i

Apple sold $6B worth of Apple Watches in it's first year. Sales increased when they released the version 2 watches. The rest of the market may be hurting but Apple is crushing it with theirs.

The sad thing is that all higher level education in the U.S. is for profit. 30 years ago you could go to an average state college for $4,000 a year, that cost is roughly 10x as much. Where has all the money gone? Take a look at the salaries

Excluding chains likely made the study unfairly favorable to minimum wage increases.

Minimum wage increases dont inflate wages. Most get the raise but some get laid off.

I highly disagree with not giving early employees equity. I've always given them even to the receptionist and they have a substantial impact on building a better team environment. It becomes "their company" and you get more c

NeXt had gotten out of hardware to massively cut it's costs (and resized it's workforce). It had a good customer base for it's software. It likely would have continued on for a long while. I believe they would have repriced W

He couldn't have foreseen his wealth? He was predicting it since he was a teenager. Buffett would have beat any market, any where any time. That's what you don't understand. He didn't succeed because he invested in the U

You are exactly right. I'm just saying that having a market set the price like cap and trade should do is far more efficient.

by valuearb 9y ago
That's what a well designed cap and trade system should do.

Carbon taxes are imperfect solutions because you don't where to set the tax at. A good cap and trade market will find the right price, and even better, it should use the same price to compensate people for building carbon sinks, ie. pl

How did light bulbs ever become cheap enough to use without anyone using them? It's called research and development. Throwing out subsidies for specific technologies helps those technologies develop faster, but doesn't necessarily

It does consume water, but again we manage our water well. I think most people are under the mistaken impression that fresh water is in short supply. The problem is that our water supplies could easily be a free market while still being eco

People have the right to control what goes in their bodies. I don't have the ability to see if my weed is "violence free", because drug prohibition took that away. You can't hold me responsible for violence among marijua

Drug trafficking funds human trafficking. It's not the other way around. Removing profit incentives from bad behavior is an easy way to improve human behavior. Our murder rates plunged after prohibition was repealed, for example. And h

The reality of illegal drugs is by making them illegal you give massive amounts of capital to the worst people in the world, who invest those profits into other awful trades. You legalize drugs, you take away their massive cash flies and cr

If they could expand the side business, they already would have. The massive profits of illegal drugs gives them the capital to invest in new side businesses, take that away they can't expand anything. The Mafia was all about prostitut

You are correct. Making drugs illegal has funded the creation of massive cartels who use that funding to pursue other crimes and to war against any competitors. The solution will never be shutting down darknets and arresting people.
3711.
by valuearb 9y ago
Then legalize drugs so they can't make that kind of money.

by valuearb 9y ago
Buying drugs doesn't fund those actions. Making drugs illegal does, just like when Prohibition started murderous gang wars, gave us the highest murder rate in modern history, caused thousands of deaths from adulterated spirits, and fun

Arizona has always managed its water supply far better than California. And a flyover is misleading, most houses have natural yards and the lawns are all special summer grass adapted to the heat.

They raised a ton of money recently to cover the continuing investment they forecast needing to make it to profitability. But they then turned around and bought hemorrhaging Solar City, so it's unclear how long the cash will last and w

Because the benefits of the subsidy are disproportionately given to companies that exhaust federal subsidies. And Tesla will be the only one to do that for some time. EV's don't make good sense "economically" for Califor

Yea, you don't understand what talent is in this context, and that it's not equally distributed. There are hundreds of thousands of people who have gotten the same training on valuing companies as Warren Buffett has. But no one co

NeXt made money for its iriginal investors and provided the OS for every iPhone and iPad ever made. Hardly a failure, let alone a spectacular one. Pixar was a tiny struggling business spun out of Lucasfilm and sold to Jobs any employees.

That 80% isn't a measure of failure. Many times a failed startup can be bootstraped into a substantially better job.
