I tend to have a more optimistic view of life and I have 3 kids. I want to support a world that makes things better for them. I’ve always found the “make less people” claim overly patronizing. It’s fine if you don’t want kids, but the kids today will be running the nursing homes, fixing the infrastructure and running the country when we’re retired. I want to help raise this next generation with good moral values and work ethics. I should be able to make that choice.

I’m learning to become more empathetic to people with naturally low metabolisms and thyroid issues. I know a young girl that went from being very slim to noticeably overweight once she developed a thyroid issue. Feed two people a standard American diet and you could end up with substantially different weight outcomes.

You know, the one where you tripped and chipped your tooth in the fourth grade…

Having spoken with a few professional orchestra muscicians, this doesn’t appear to be true. They have honed their craft enough that they only need one practice before any given performance.

Was coming here to say this. Every time a more sophisticated system has been built to replace a simpler one, it requires MORE programmers, not less.

I can attest to this. In my 30’s with kids and suddenly women with well behaved kids are more attractive to me. You can find attraction in qualities as much as looks.

He has leadership material written all over him.

If you are American I would recommend “Democracy in America” by Alexis de Tocqueville. Very easy to read and has some really mind opening lines. “Americans are cartesians without ever having read Descartes” still sticks with me to this day and I last read it over ten years ago.

Your wife is talented. This is a cool idea. Added to my list of gifts to buy for folks.

I guess I’m not surprised that a bunch of folks who have made a career out of advising politicians on income inequality….discovered income inequality in their study.

The two questions in my mind are:

1. Should we trust the government to spend the money more wisely than the folks who earned it? Or said another way, how do you combat the almost inevitable corruption you see with large government spending? 2. What will incentivize people to work at insane rates if the vast majority of their income and wealth is taxed? Would I be willing to put in the long hours and sacrifices usually required to work up to a $1m+ salary if it’s taxed at a 90% rate?

It certainly feels that way. Businesses can’t find workers, so wages increase, costs are passed on to consumers, prices inflate…

I think it is a great thing. They could just as easily keep it all to themselves and pass it down to generations. It’s fully within their legal rights to do so.

This sounds awesome but very tech-heavy. Two questions:

- How big is the company? - How did you get non-tech folks onboard with this approach?

This happened to me. Twice within a few weeks. Parked in a train commuter lot. I eventually had the mechanic screw some steel mesh to the bottom of my pickup to deter the thieves. Thankfully I kept comprehensive insurance on my vehicle so the out of pocket expense was $50. The insurance company did call to investigate the second time because they thought I was in on it.

I forget the context but didn’t Trump talk about this a while ago? Hi

For us the big win is branded sites. We have a white labeled product that is customizable for each client. No code deploys needed to add a new client. Values live in a db table and get pulled in dynamically based on the url subdomain.

This is the main point that I feel is constantly left out of arguments against trickle down economics. Money needs to be invested or spent to be useful. Stockpiling hordes of cash is not benefiting anyone. Wealthy individuals will invest that money into other companies and endeavors which drives more economic activity. If we tax them and give it to the government would we expect them to do the same?

You should probably delete the quoted portion of your comment as well.

Totally agree. The other dimension that folks often overlook is the choice of what to fact-check. Droves of fact checkers that only ever check one side of an argument still present a bias.

And bankrupt most hospitals. It’s very common for hospitals to lose money on Medicare patients

I wish I could do this better. It still scares the heck out of me to say something that could be construed as even remotely redville when I’m in navy blueville. I’m sure others feel the same way in the opposite circumstance.

Like the riots?

Not everyone thinks that!

Was about to write this very thing. Also many people frightened that a defunded police will not be able to protect them.

I think that’s true of both parties

I picked up a Canon color laser for $180 last Black Friday. They’re way cheaper than they used to be.
