That's not true, Capital would still accumulate returns higher than the cost of inventory plus wages, the return would just be the same 'everywhere', and you'd have a perfect marke…

I don't think it's so much about the timidity of the driver, it's the effect on driving slow has on people behind you. Driving below the speed limit increases the amount of drivers…

This is actually true, but I still use PayPal probably 10-20 times a year and I haven't logged into their site for probably 2-3 years, at least whenever I last had to update my pay…

Or they just work for Google, of which there's a reasonable amount of members here, but yeah.

This is completely false, I stated very clearly that they have jurisidiction regardless and that anti-trust is fine. I was just pointing out that it's pretty unfair to use the size…

Yes that's true, literally all representative democracies are the same and no political progress has been made anywhere in the world the past few decades. We have seen no advances …
