You are a liar, at the very least, you are lying to yourself. You ban me for criticising socialism, not because of ideological battles. If you would care about ideology, you would ban the ideological subjects. For…
If there is a wealth tax, as is being discussed in many places, it could be taken from you.
But you need to be a SJW to reject due process and the principle of charity, and opt for maximum moral outrage to exert control and power. Your claim that he defended somebody in a sex trafficking ring is not actually…
Strange, the flu disappears every year without any specific counter measures at all. I think citations are needed to prove Covid-19 would only go away with vaccinations and lockdowns.
Huh, that's nonsense. Every vaccination also carries risks, so there can be no moral obligation if the risks outweigh the benefits. That said, I also disagree with the moral obligation. At the very least, there are also…
Of course socialism has a lot to do with this discussion. It is a symptom of the rise of the woke and SJWs, who want to establish control via their ideology (in this case, feminism as a vehicle for socialist control).…
So if "the tide is moving" in some direction, it's a foregone conclusion? Globally the tide seems to be moving towards socialism, so let's just get it over with?
I thought as much. I suppose some things are riskier than others, but at the moment I really don't know which ones.
Could you point me to an alternative investment that can not lose its value, please?
I used to feel like you, but I have come back to Java. Other languages have other pains, for example I have physical revulsion against the version management hacks for python or ruby (rbenv and stuff like that - somehow…
What do you mean - FSF are bad people?
It's true that in theory it should be possible to elect another government that chooses not to delegate to the "Ethics Experts". I am not claiming we live in a totalitarian regime because the government decided to…
The renter does not lose a lot of money. The landlord may end up with enormous debt.
But how much capital? You also have to consider opportunity costs of putting down that capital. Maybe if I put down one million and borrow another 300k, I can get a low mortgage. But I also lost one million.
So why don't you buy? I am in the opposite position. I would like to buy something, but I can not find anything that would be worthwhile (mortgages lower than the rent I pay at the moment, or lower than rent I could ask…
In my opinion companies create such departments to stave off government regulation, by pretending to already do all they can about "Ethics in AI" without government intervention. If those people were hired for that,…
As if high level AI researchers would not be aware of the issue of bias. The whole field is about studying bias, really.
A market working does not imply the creation of unlimited supply. Governments that restrict building are an external factor. Markets can only operate within those bounds. Since land for building is scarce, prices rise.…
It doesn't say 60% own a home in a major city.
The basic need for a house is something different than owning a house, though. If owning a place to live is too expensive, it follows by logic that renting is cheaper than buying. Otherwise for the price of the rent,…
From your description, it seems to me that renting is cheaper than buying. So it seems renters get the better deal. It's a pity if a flat is empty for a year, but that in itself also does not cause a shortage. After…
It is a leftist, anti-capitalist theory, and there are many leftists. In that sense, it may be widely accepted. Ultimately, speculators only try to guess at future prices. Even when hording occurs to manipulate prices,…
The rich outbidding poor people is not what is causing a housing shortage. There are only so many houses a rich person can occupy. Even if you assume that every rich person keeps a number of spare houses, there are not…
Huh, how do you know what the rich people of old were thinking? Your argument seems to be based on complete fantasy - both your assumptions about the mindset of rich people of the past and of people who got rich in SV…
Why exactly is the wealth gap a problem? Shouldn't it be more relevant how well of people are in general? There are so many nice number games to play, like the stagnant wages. Those usually fail to mention that the…
