There is more money saved up than there are good productive investments available for it, in comparison to the past. This correlates with a few things: - Inflation of the value of investment assets (high P/E ratios) -…
a savings glut is the thing that Krugman has suggested, and is the thing which makes sense to me. Which stinks because I hate Krugman.
> Nevertheless, the composition of audiences can still tilt toward demographic groups such as men or younger workers, according to a study published today by researchers at Northeastern University and Upturn, a…
Considering that the sources you cite and the source your debate openent cites disagree on the facts on the ground, y'all have some work to do if you ever want to understand eachother. The source cited by your opponent…
Living in a state that respects property rights has benefits. When you know that your state respects other individuals' property rights, you know it's less likely that they will trample your rights as well. The case…
The chart shown at macrotrends does not show total return (dividends included and reinvested). The investor would have broken even much earlier. January 1929 to January 1960 shows ~25% real return without dividends…
I would have been glad to live in a boarding house earlier in my career.
I havent dove into evidence much during this discussion, but I agree that it is a good place to argue from. (I would tend to echo a good few Jordan Peterson-style points, such as gender employment ratios in scandinavian…
It's really strange of you to admit this double-think. You are admitting to yourself that you hold two contradictory opinions simultaneously. I think the best thing to do (which you might be arguing for but cutting…
Let's say that there is a population bell curve of the variable "propensity to enjoy being a programmer". One curve for men, and one curve for women. In some dystopian future, everyone takes a career aptitude test, and…
GP may have been doing some strange one-upsmanship, but Russia sure did have a worse time than the U.S. in WWII. I also think that extant Russian culture still suffers from PTSD over the trauma of the entire 20th…
IQ and income are correlated fairly strongly. It's obviously not a perfect correlation. https://thesocietypages.org/socimages/2008/02/06/correlation...
Write a bot that detects earthquake-related tweets, a la xkcd.
It's ironic but it's not untrue. The connotation of alien used here is something that is foreign, unfamiliar, or culturally distinct to a person or nation. Nativeness isn't relevant.
(correlation isn't causation, but) fathers on average have a higher income than non-fathers. I can definitely imagine the increased urgency at work when you have more mouths to feed.
Statute of limitations should apply in situations like this. It's really weird that it doesn't.
It's really strange to me that a trans (or whatever) person would be offended at being called a standard pronoun. Seems like an easy mistake to make. I feel like the idea of choosing your own pronoun is fine and happy…
If it's a private company (not publicly owned) we have zero ability to know, they would not have to publish any financials. If it's a public U.S. company we can know with 100% certainty via GAAP accounting.

This article doesn't do a good job of explaining the income breakdown of the top 400 households. I imagine it is nearly 100% long term capital gains and dividends. That doesn't explain the change in the chart that…
You disavowed the wikipedia article for being strictly fact-based, having no interpretation. I can vouch for the fact that there are many left-leaning people offended by the contents of that article. You disavowed…
The current population of African Americans in the U.S. has a lower average IQ than the current population of White Americans in the U.S.
They overlap. My bandsaw is a tool and a toy. Cars are often toys, but almost always tools.
Both Boeing and Airbus have received subsidies that are claimed by various parties to be illegal.
To me the article reads as a complaint that the legal and tax structures of employee stock and options compensation in Europe make such compensation rare. It doesn't present numerical data on how rare it is though, I'd…
