It could still protect you from one or more strains that you haven’t been exposed to through sexual partners and avoid contracting or passing it along to a future partner. There’s …

I don’t think there is a threshold for intervention in setting prices. If a $100/hr minimum wage is too high, then a $20/hr min wage will also be too high for plenty of employers a…

Rhetorical questions are real questions and useful for exploring the logical fallacies that are embedded in ideas like minimum wage. As shown by comments elsewhere, picking a minim…

Yes, I agree: this research shows that governments do a poor job when they attempt to set minimum wages, and they would do better to focus on accomplishing income redistribution po…

It's the same question, really. If we make housing too expensive to build through stricter codes, then housing won't get built and at some point (e.g., last decade in California di…

Another reply already addresses your question about speed limits, which is another great example through which to examine these questions. "Reasonable" is a completely subjective s…

Exactly. Minimum wages are an attempt to solve economic redistribution policies by obfuscating the cost to employers rather through the tax code, which is the cleanest way to achie…

Please define basic necessities. Is a three-bedroom house in [pick nicest neighborhood in any metro area] a necessity? How about a one-bedroom apartment in the same neighborhood? A…

Real question: If government-mandated wages are good policy, why not set the minimum wage to $100/hr? (Btw, the American healthcare system is about as far away from a free market a…

A corollary to this is that “tech” is simply the method of accomplishing a business’ goals/objectives. At this point, all companies employ lots of hardware and software in their op…

Ok, now do restaurants!

The Innovator’s Dilemma supports your last paragraph but will likely make your first two paragraphs age poorly. The tech will continue to improve if it finds its niche. Dynamic, lo…

Is X vulnerable to Chinese government interference because its American executive has other business interests in China at stake? I’d argue the TikTok remedy should be applied to X…

CA (un)FAIR Plan is required to periodically attempt to find and place policyholders with alternate carriers if there are options. They operate a clearinghouse to do this. While th…
