No, it is troll-like behaviour. It is not a legitimate question if the intent of the comment is to deny the claims of the effectiveness of Russian interference, which is nonsense. …

Alright settle down, Vladimir. The point of advertising is to change people's behaviours and opinions. The entire purpose of the content is to modify behaviour. Cynics and trolls m…

I misremembered his comment on iPhone prices. He just said that they are undervalued relative to their utility. I thought he made a comment that Apple should look to increase iPhon…

I am not an active investor. I do not claim to know as much as someone like WB. However, what you have just explained is all pretty obvious. To buy Apple's explanation that most of…

While you are right, I think the parent's idea if that with a large enough sample, even if every actor is making decisions randomly, you will get actors that will just crush it. I …

I agree with you that it is not a particularly polished article. However, you were basically saying that rents would decrease as a result of market forces, which is not really true…

Easy, it is a two-fold problem. First, if housing prices growing at a faster rate than wages then less people can afford buying and must keep renting. This means that the amount of…

This is a clear example of someone quoting theoretical economic arguments as if they were as rigorous as mathematical proofs (and believing the gospel that they are preaching just …

I have no idea what 'should the people serve the nation' means. Sounds like you wrote something that sounded cool but completely forgot that phrases should actually mean something.…

No, the financial industry has close to nothing to do with affordability in London. The main causes are the UK's cultural obsession with owning property, speculative property buyin…

Most of that list is about relocating operations/funds outside the UK or cancelling plans to move them to the UK, and the title reflects that.

Neither your tone or attitude were an issue. I just wanted to note that the idea that there is absolutely no way out of this mess is too negative a view, in my opinion. Until we re…

I am not sure I agree with your insistence on using the word rational. What is rational depends entirely on the perspective of the agent observing and is not a useful assumption, i…

I think his point was that individual actors do not want to hinder their prosperity at the cost of the planet. The looming threat of extinction is not something a business or a 3rd…

As you hinted in your edit, you are describing the essence of a collection action problem. Ultimately, we measure the success of our capitalist economies in total receipts, and opt…
