Thanks for confirming that you don't have experience in law firms.

You clearly don't have experience in law firms. White shoe Wall Street lawyers, for example, generally can't just hang their own shingle and do corporate M&A as a solo practitioner…

First of all, the "no layoffs" claim can easily be achieved through attrition, as covered elsewhere in this thread. That means that someone would have been hired to replace a depar…

If two to three seconds of waiting (that's on the high end, and only for certain apps) is breaking your flow, you need to work on your attention span. That's ADHD territory. Edit: …

> Isn't it equally cruel to talk like people want to be drones? Well, I didn't append all the qualifiers I could have because I assumed that my comment would be read in a reasonabl…

> I suggest you discuss this directly with archaeological faculty at a university, rather than making claims about dynamite - e.g. those who used dynamite were treasure hunters, fo…

> Also, iPhones are extremely economical. My iPhone 6, which cost $749 at the time, is coming up to 3 years old. Uh, what? I'm on my second ~$70 Android smart phone in eight years.…

Lots of people want to be drones so that they can feed their families. Ideally, they could feed their families without being drones, but your saying that they should be glad to los…

Only a very tiny portion of the global population is in a position to own productive capital (or, at least, enough to support themselves). Even if the portion were higher, though, …

There's a lot more to sexism (and other bigotry) than simple economics. Presumably, we have all had coworkers who weren't great workers, weren't very bright, etc., but managed to g…

Islamic banks are issuing loans without interest to this day. They have a clever fee schedule though, and I'm not sure it works out any differently for the borrower at the end of t…

Yeah, residential real estate isn't the best example, but it's not as though there isn't any pure rent-seeking out there.

Carve it onto stone tablets.

For certain millennials, crypto-currency already seems to hold the role that gold does for certain baby boomers. I would expect that phenomenon to grow during a bear market.

The problem is that, in most cases, managers are people who were good workers (and good at office politics) and who then got promoted into supervisory roles with little, if any, ad…

Yes, they still need coke, but much if not all of that demand can be met by oil refineries. Even if the steel industry got all its coke from coal that would be a pretty small perce…

I really struck a chord, didn't I?

> Maybe, but this is not why we have patents. Yeah, and? I wasn't saying so.

Lots of things become easy to replicate after they've been done once, despite being non-obvious before. The "no obvious inventions" part of patent law is supposed to prevent people…

I bet you're fun at parties.

This is also why U.S. companies like to incorporate in Delaware – it's not that the laws and regulations are favorable, it's that the laws and regulations are well known and predic…

Actually, they suggested that the executor's "wishes" should be followed, suggesting a fundamental misunderstanding of what a will is.

One sarcastic tweet from a random nobody is not a bellweather of leftist discourse. That's a weak joke, not social commentary.
