Substantive argument? Care to point that out? Because to me it looks like he is claiming that inequality is unimportant because the poor now have cell phones and color TVs. Which i…

Yeah I love the smell of shit in the morning and the used needles really add some spice.

What character, the human shit and needles in the streets?

Why you think giving what is basically unlimited power to an individual instead of a governing body that at least on paper is accountable to its citizens boggles the mind. Celebrit…

Why don't you go find out how many articles they have written about inequality and tell me how the statistical power of their AB test looks. lol

Respected by who, the Heritage Foundation? Why don't you make a pro-inequality argument? That seems to be the bold claim that requires evidence.

You just have to take it to its extreme conclusion. A future with a handful of trillionaires and billions of destitute people entertained by electronics that cost pennies. Is this …

Likely to cause the Bible thumpers to go insane, not sure I want to be there when that happens.

This argument is just gross. "How dare those peasants complain about Jeff Bezos having $150 Billion. They just tweeted on their Iphones, look how well they live!" Just blatant Ayn …

Yeah bro Buzzfeed is totally doing AB tests on Article Headlines about Income Inequality.

No you're right, I blindly trust Jeff Bezos to do the best thing for humanity.

Ah yes, I hear the trailer parks in East Palo Alto are lovely this time of year.

Ah the Silicon Valley Oasis. "I will say there is more feces on the sidewalks than I’ve ever seen..." https://www.nbcbayarea.com/news/local/SF-Mayor-Theres-more-f...

This would go down as one of the worst A/B tests in history if that is the case, which I highly doubt.

Marketing in particular is probably an issue, 1-2 signups a week probably means eyeballs are simply not getting to his page. If he's already dealing with Facebook he should probabl…

How does that play out today because it is very lucrative to be smart in today's world. You don't get to work at FAANG or on Wall Street by pretending to be less intelligent than y…

How is that any different from a CEO with long hours and high pay? No one is forcing this person to be a Heart Surgeon. They could do very well as a Suburban GP with basically 9-5 …

Lifetime? Not sure what you mean. Given that the vast majority of Startups fail and any equity you were granted would be worthless and even those that do payout are usually just ge…

You must be lost. OP made precisely that claim... >The average person spends almost exactly as much as they make as income rises.

I think its extremely unlikely that there is any actual evolutionary process selecting for less intelligent people, in fact the opposite is probably more likely to be true. I'm not…

Sure and I basically agree with that. But saying that the actual Average person is spending nearly 100% of any income gains is a pretty bold claim.

Financial rewards? Like $2 Million for a house that costs 200k in the rest of the country? What savings! SV is fine if you never want to buy a home, start a family, live without ro…

Even the most high power CEO in the world can take long extravagant vacations. Do you think he is crying because someone in Detroit can work part time and relax half the week? Your…

Not that I disagree with the idea but do you have evidence that the average person is actually increasing spending every time they get a raise?

Coops, I'm not familiar with any in the IT space, care to share?
