I lost 120lbs and for a long time I was in almost the same situation, but I can say I "fixed this problem". I realized I didn't have a hormonal or even psychiatric issue: I was an …

Some decent points, but why can't anyone acknowledge the centralization of capital? Sure, Uber lobbies city mayors, but what about the financial system that gives $6.6B to a single…

Until last week, there was a popular conspirancy linking these increasing cases of brain damage to vaccines.

Inflation-adjusted, $10000 in 1981 translates to $26109 in 2015.

I'm Brazilian (not a shaddy judge though) and this comment is baffling. It reminded me why I left it in the first place. > No right is absolute, and that includes the right to priv…

Obviously, companies want less competition, but if they use a political system to do that, it's not free market capitalism.

No. TPP, huge inequality, centralization, unemployment ARE NOT a consequence of free market capitalism. In such case, automation just doesn't outpace the labor market. Now, when te…

It's dangerous and biased to assume a company like Apple had its stock increased because of 'innovation' or 'disruption'. A lot of it was a consequence of Fed's policies mainly wit…

Genuine capitalism doesn't have a government controlling money supply, which is behind your 'exponential growth'. Instead of growing an economy, the truest capitalist is focused on…

While investors look for gold and bonds as a response to falling equities, they're actually just trying to find 'safety'. That doesn't tell anything about which asset they'll neces…

You're confounding Capitalism with pure Keynesianism, which you'd probably revere.

Unfortunately, most people don't have minimalist lives. With a 'humble' example: $3000/month SF/NYC apartment,$1000/month on clothing(specially bankers), $1500/month on food(no tim…

To be honest, I believe the trend is to only become worse. Every generation appears to become more hedonist and think less about retirement. Many of my friends(millennials) make si…

> there will be plenty of angels or firms willing to cut a check or, at least, take a meeting. What would keep them from ditching you and getting the deal without commission/bonus?…

Some EM companies issue bonds in international markets not using their national currency

Even if unrealizable business don't pay very much(close to doctors/lawyers), it still is a distortion in the market that wouldn't be possible in a free market. Btw, big players are…

>government structures the economic regime to favor the interest That's it. If there's central planning(no matter to whom) it's socialism. And, regarding 'lock-in advantages', with…

Cronyism, referring to a system where incompetent agents are given special favors, doesn't survive in the free market - merciless competition destroys any underperfoming organizati…

Not really. Anyone with a background on classical economics realizes the U.S is much closer to socialism than capitalism. The existence of 'prices' and greed doesn't imply it's cap…

Honestly, more and more, I challenge the idea of ever having a child: bright and smart kids have never been so intimidated. Many of the hacks I did as a child could have gotten me …

But... ,in a libertarian country, HP wouldn't exist in the first place. Crony capitalism still is not capitalism.

or they just didn't have as much 'help' from the government
