What a boneheaded policy. It's all the bad parts of drug prohibition and none of the good ones. All the crime and violence associated with drug trafficking will still exist, but no…

So they're doubling down on the policies that have earned them an anti-trust investigation? This is alarmingly stupid.

Is there a country with an economic system other than capitalism that is even remotely competitive with the US? Saying there's a crisis in capitalism because some people are poor i…

I agree. Amazon has been hiring mediocre talent for the last two decades and it hasn't slowed their growth at all.

The fact that Bloomberg employs people who think minimum wages are a good idea is all I need to know that they are not a credible source for economic policy recommendations.

If you have to name more than one company, the companies you've named do not have a monopoly. They can at worst be a duopoly. However, with the existence of Amazon, Microsoft, Twit…

Corporations are owned by citizens, so it's not necessarily a mistake either way you slice it.

Most other industries are allowed to sell products that are contrary to their clients' interests. I don't see why wealth management should be any different. If my mechanic can try …

Bizarre comment. Being able to quickly refuel is one of the key advantages internal combustion engines have over electrics.

> what's the point? This is an utterly asinine question. The point is that most current fuel is not carbon neutral so this is an improvement over the status quo.

I agree this news is pretty sad. The Guardian has no objectivity any more. I wish it were possible for newspapers to survive as non-partisan entities, but it's looking less and les…

A $10 billion fine for the Cambridge Analytica "scandal" would be so far beyond reasonable as to merit criminal charges against Joseph Simons. $3 billion is already insanely ridicu…

There's no way this is actually a genuine question. It's the same reason anybody wants a job anywhere: because they'll eventually become homeless if they don't find a job.

The title allows the reader to infer a causation that hasn't been proven or investigated. Given that the people making the allegation are bitter ex-employees who have a financial i…

It's pretty shoddy journalism for the title of the article to assert this as fact even though it's just an allegation that hasn't even been investigated yet.

> Google confirmed it found fake ad clicking on all 6 apps, and said ad fraud was against Play store policy. So why aren't you removing the apps, I asked. They said they banned the…

Corporate taxes shouldn't exist in the first place. They're just a sneaky way of double-taxing people. Corporations are really just groups of people. Those people already have to p…

It's not a vulnerability. It actually shows their revenue is pretty geographically diverse. You can't trust financial news from propaganda outlets like Slate because they only care…

If you stack your council with people of entirely one viewpoint, there's little point in having a council at all. Create a board entirely of Muslims and it's going to say we should…

It seems to me that if they limited their recommendations to only things the entire board could agree on, they could still be productive. For example, they may not agree on how bat…

Was she the wealthiest female in the world before the divorce?

Congratulations. You must be so proud of your seniors. Unfortunately, many seniors physically can't walk long distances. The fact that you don't personally know them doesn't mean t…

Are they flying bicycles?

Yeah, and the other 55% use the sidewalks and the subway which the entire city helps subsidize. If we're going to cut funding for things that you don't personally use, we should cu…

This is a solution in search of a problem. The overwhelming majority of people do not care what gender their digital assistant's voice is.
