Getting rid of 1031 would be a good start. But contrary to what most people/economists falsely proclaim, land value taxes are actually a regressive, punitive tax to those who commit the grave sin of living in an area…
What's your suggestion to eliminate landlords from the equation, then? CCP-style regulations where there is no citizen landownership? Only the government is allowed to own land? Property owners should be forced to…
There are countries in which there is no IP protection, it's not the utopia you think it is.
Asset multiples will collapse if unemployment rises significantly and the labor market weakens. Surely the investor class will still come out ahead, but it's interesting they seem to be ignoring this fact (except Warren…
Right - and this resistance against RTO from a basis “companies are doing it just because of sunk costs” has a logical conclusion companies should increase outsourcing further.
This doesn't add up to me. The priorities of corporate executives are to please the board of directors. BoD priorities are to please shareholders/investors. Shareholders/investors are pleased by growth/profits. That is,…

So let's say they go full remote for jobs that allow it - why should they hire you, then? Why not hire someone in Vancouver for 80% of your salary, or Mexico for 60%, or Brazil for 40%?
The entire stock market hit an all-time high during this period. Because of $3 trillion from quantitative easing.

I am not sure I find this explanation convincing. If a corporation thinks it could increase profits without RTO and after eating office real-estate losses, it'll do so. The real estate companies and the middle managers…

You don't think it's a little uncalled for to wish physical harm and/or death on someone just because you disagree with their actions?
Can you point out some examples of astroturfed articles? I cannot say I find your statement convincing based on a google search of news about threads.
Why do you blame Facebook and not ElutherAI?

Not even going to touch the bait in your statement but calling Kelly Rowland a hip-hop artist is an exceedingly bizarre statement. It would be like calling Blink 182 hair metal, or calling Coldplay classic rock.
It’s quite literally a problem, every day.
It was explained, maybe you didn't connect the reasoning. First, there are no entities that have the amount of capital needed to keep the bond market moving besides banks. This is a $50 trillion market that makes the…
Actually, the yield curve was inverted at the time they made the purchases, compounding how strange their decision was.
Source on 1/3rd? Does that include the ~$80B of 15-30 year MBS they acquired at the same time? clearly it was not enough considering interest rates were zero at the time and the yield curve was inverted.
These banks made poor investment decisions and were reckles with customer funds, and are to blame for their own failure. It might be on-brand for him, and surely he acted in his own interest and didn't give a shit about…
