I think nothing (or as fche said "none of the above) was an option. The economy is sick because we insisted the sickest companies in the economy were "too big to fail". We're keeping them on life support when they'r

We could have been following any economic ideology and recovered strongly post-war, for the reason caseysoftware gave. We can attribute zero to Hayek because the Keynesians have been running the economy for decades.

This is a quaint view of the world that those in power built up to keep those without power quiet. Society doesn't use shame to make people polite, society uses a power dynamic. If an equal tries to assault your brain, you check them f

It would make sense that killing demand kills supply. Uber drivers would divert to areas where they are more likely to get a passenger now, rather than run to surge areas for the chance at getting surge pricing, but having a lower chance be

If it is in a region of space that expands beyond the light cone of anyone in existence, then no, it doesn't. Otherwise, it would have an essentially negligible impact on anyone in a separate galaxy.

Conversely, in some minority groups it can be a great source of pride to be the first one in the family to go to college and get a bachelor's degree. I don't think it's likely for the writer of the article to know that Jennif

According to CDC estimates 48 million people each year get sick from foodborne illnesses, only 3000 die. That amounts to (much) less than a 1% chance your friend will kill you (even when you get sick), so you can relax, relaxatorium. http:

The way I see it, fear/paranoia of incompetence is common among a great many entry-level developers/engineers, the so-called "imposter syndrome". What I think Bryana did, talk to her manager to find the real reason behin

It does do that. Roulettes are generally banned. Of course, since the State makes the laws, the State can also decide when to make exceptions, as is the case in Nevada and Atlantic City, for example. And the State can also make exceptions t

Pair the Tesla batteries with solar cells, and there will be no competition. It will be very hard to compete with free, and we could be able to save utility costs if we no longer need to maintain miles and miles of power lines.
