I don't think that line of reasoning has worked our particularly well for shelter.

Yeah this is the downstream effect I had in mind. You could say we'd increase supply to meet the demand but that hasn't really worked out with housing for example

Does UBI really solve the problem, wouldn’t it just make everything more expensive?

what exactly were you appalled at?

I dont think the author is really proposing a solution. They're just proposing that anxiety and ambition are orthogonal

Disclaimer: I used to work at robinhood The consolidated bid and the ask across all exchanges make up what's called the NBBO and every one (market makers, exchanges, etc) are requi…

Not all clients are written in js (android, iOS). For mobile apps, you’re better off having most logic exist on the backend
