Fees businesses charge will be a nonissue when businesses are unable to operate in California

Regulation increases the barrier to entry, making competition more difficult to start

Subscriptions are an overused pricing model. Businesses love subscriptions because they love recurring revenue. The desire for RR pushes businesses to pursue products the fit the r…

Influenced, but I've been considering it for about a year. As the parent poster mentioned, I too am finding very little of the Netflix content enjoyable. Ahead of my first viewing …

Long-term there was always going to be a marketplace process for piracy. As the pain/expense of legitimately acquiring content exceeds the pain/expense of acquiring it via other me…

Conjecture: their content and suggestions are garbage because they aren't allowing the data to drive their decisions independent of their ideological or public perception concerns.…

Those are still moves in the right direction. Requiring a cosigner for example brings in another party who can evaluate the situation and contribute to the decision to take out the…

Bankruptcy should help with this but student loans are currently a special case

> the blockchains are too inefficient to host it directly. True, this needs to be addressed before I can get what I want. In the case of media it's got to be either on-chain or str…

Barring fraud, lavish expenditures that you describe would be counted as compensation not investment and thus the picture changes dramatically.

Thanks for presenting this. I suspected this might be a problem across administrations rather than Trump-specific.

> If you're not being paid enough to live on 40 hours a week, you're underpaid. This is perhaps a core disagreement, which is wroth digging into. I'm willing to engage with this id…
