Unions are bad for business. I am happy they killed it.

One has to differentiate between Christian influence and general thinking. "Do good things" is common sense but Christian theology has opinion on what is good and bad and it matter…

Let me run a crowdfunding for c-section of my aunt's 7th baby or drug overdose treatment for the junkie across the street! We need government coercion for that.

It is a collision of a centralized top down hierarchical system designed by people with no skin in the game v/s highly decentralized and evolving networked system with lots of peop…

I hate bike riders. Sharing road etc. is fine but it is irresponsible for bikers to ride on the road and expect car drivers to be watchful. If there is an accident not only the bik…

They obviously would. It gives them more control over the internet.

Government runs something inefficiently. That is a big news! Nah. It is known. This is prison industrial complex at play fueled by insecurities of average American.

I am only explaining the facts. Forced paternity leave takes out some amount of labor from market increasing prices for everyone else for those services.

It is generally opposite. For example USA does not have government mandated paternity leave and hence a lot of people value that 3 month salary over staying at home without pay. Th…
