Didn't Australia recently ban social media for under 16s? Sounds like kids are rediscovering fun and socialization in the outdoors. Isn't this an unintended byproduct of what Australians wanted and legislated for? They…
A corporation is a bunch of people cooperating to achieve a common goal. There is a very important factor that heavily influences (perhaps even controls?) how people act to achieve that goal, and sometimes even twists…
He made the point clearly, stop dodging the question...
That short-term individual success is at the expense of the wider long-term success. If 10 people live in a lake and I fish more than everyone I will be better off that others. But then everyone else will seek the same…

There is no such thing as a 100% free market, not in America, not anywhere. What was passed was a petition for the EU to listen to the needs of a million EU citizens. It is not yet a law, but it might become one. Laws…
