He's not dead, but it is bad to gossip regardless.

Like I said, these are negative internalities. I don't think most users care about these negative impacts on themselves.

Most countries don't allow billionaires to influence elections like the USA. Maybe they still do in other ways. Anyway, I think blaming the 0.01% for how 50%+1 vote is too easy. Ta…

Social media won because it's better for the consumer and producer. For the producer, it's free infrastructure but it's also advertising. Having a large subreddit means your game g…

>If you genuinely believe something others don’t, that’s not a debate to win. That’s an edge. The market rewards being right in a way that no argument ever will. Instead of persuad…

That sounds like mistaken optimism due to a mistaken interpretation of the invisible hand. Mandating age verification and the inevitable implementation requirements are bad for fre…

It's only a matter of time before nootropics forums start experimenting with these drugs... These drugs seem to change something fundamental that reduces problematic behavior.

>The Alchian–Allen effect was described in 1964 by Armen Alchian and William R Allen in the book University Economics (now called Exchange and Production[1]). It states that when t…

That's not a distortion, that's just what the choice is. When a new gaming console comes out and someone works extra shifts to afford it sooner, that's not a distortion. I think yo…

Necessities count as consumption. You could survive off rice and live in an internet cafe for $15/night. I don't know what you think the traditional sense of the word "consumption"…

I don't really. It smells to me like the lump of labor fallacy. Labor participation results from supply and demand and it going down does not necessarily indicate less demand, but …

Labor is not a market distortion and average wages not following average productivity is not evidence that it is. In a competitive market, wages should follow marginal productivity…

But you can transfer your ownership.

It's less that about the recipient deserving to receive it, and more about the giver deserving to give it.

The person I replied to was referencing Bastiat's parable of the broken window.

Bastiat was opposed to inheritance taxes. He wrote about this in Economic Harmonies. I think he'd call the connection you're trying to make a stretch

It's really not the easiest. You have to prevent gifting things at a lower tax rate while alive. That means it comes bundled with income tax or gift tax implications. Fairest? I me…

That's overly doomer. I know it's unpopular to ever say statistics show this generation is fine, because of course there's always a bunch of other troubling statistics, not to ment…

You can really tell from the comments those who didn't read the article and who are taking the headline extremely literally. He quoted Shakespeare's MacBeth, "It is a tale, Told by…
