Yea imagine giving everyone thousands of free dollars and rent goes up. You would almost think there were people on the margin that could not afford an apartment that now can? As if we could have ever predicted this…
Sounds like a completely unbiased opinion. I mean really?
I remember going to Disney Epcot Center as a kid and it showed how we would be living on the ocean floor by the year 2000. That is what I consider wild. If you told me as a kid that I will go my whole life without…
Wages and prices are relative and there is always going to be groups of people at the bottom that are not going to have capital to invest. So what? What is your point? There is no way around this fact. Of course this…
New study finds people that read more tend to own more books than those who do not read as much.
Sounds almost exactly like the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, better known as Jonestown. What could possibly go wrong?
I use to rollerblade in the 90s. I never heard of this at the time I couldn't have possibly cared less if I had. IMO the problem is I rollerbladed for 3 years and I never learned to stop properly. I basically had to…
The article talking about Tether: "don’t be surprised when the Federal Reserve comes to its rescue." This is completely delusional. As if the Fed is going to hold Tether on its balance sheet to stabilize the price in…
I mean surely they know this was coming? Their marketing was starting to get to me as far as being the privacy company. I was really considering buying my first iphone. They had to know they were throwing all that…
In the US at least though I believe zoning is the issue. Our zoning laws are so bad and it is so hard to add to supply that no one really bothers much. There are all kinds of dislocations in the market because what you…
Greedy? Not me. Always the other guy that is greedy. The irony is there is such high probability with posting on this board you are part of the top 1% of the globe when it comes to wealth.
You sound like a fun guy.
Spot on. I believe Yuval Noah Harari's Homo Deus has a section on lawns.
I am fully vaccinated and will get a booster as soon as offered but even I am so sick of people preaching about this. You do your part individually and that is the best you can do. All you are doing when you post…
I am a life long lover of philosophy but the idea of spending $50k+ on a philosophy degree is utterly ridiculous to me. You have your whole life to read, study and think about philosophy. It is easy, it is enjoyable,…
In the words of Neil Postman "What problem is this technology trying to solve??" I just don't get it. How much easier do you need it to be than to hand someone an ID card? The trade offs being made here for the ever…
Not me. To me, what this article is describing is just poor mental health. On the other hand, I grew up in a nice middle class family but a family that was basically trivial to do better than. Maybe things would be…
I have been going into the office when I could work remote. I don't feel like it is a motivation thing. I was just sick of being home all the time. I think many people on my team are not doing well mental health wise…
I mean really? In 1955 people were worried about a literal nuclear apocalypse. Of course health care was much cheaper when the doctor basically had no health care to give. A medicine man 2000 years ago was even cheaper,…
You are a complete and utter fool.
You are a complete fool
ahh was hoping for a launch date but now early December has been mentioned. Come on.
I also suspect we forget how in the "good ol days" that you would go into a department store and they wouldn't have your size even before the internet and cheap goods. I absolutely remember this with sneakers a few…
It also went too far though as well. I remember I stopped shopping at Circuit City because you couldn't walk 10 feet without someone asking you if you need help finding something. If you wanted to browse the CDs you…
Because the people that run banks are morons. It is exactly the same thing. It has nothing to do with productivity. It is a test for membership in a club.
