I'm confused what your core disagreement is? It seems like you're narrowing in on some relatively unimportant detail. Using your own source, what is the likely explanation for the …

Lol. I didn’t realize how important audience following was to winning tennis matches.

A possible factor on your observation is females athletically peaking earlier. Edit. A quick investigation shows there is not a significant age difference between men and women for…

Exercising is doing some activity that is good for your health. You’ve reduced this to some narrow set of activities that presumably make you stronger, faster, or better at some ot…

Read ‘float’

There’s nothing fundamentally stopping all currencies from floating against gold and gold being the base asset

I’d venture to assume the downvotes are simply because you’re taking a relatively neutral topic and mapping it onto a polarized political subject

In my case, the people I looked up to generally had tried these things and reported them as valuable or interesting experiences. So I decided to ‘roll’ the dice and am glad I did.

No one knows what would happen. That is unprecedented. There would be mayhem in financial systems as all types of collateral is vaporized. All types of on paper net worth would col…

No

Was there concrete term limits to 'never'. Otherwise I fear you were the naive one. Snarky comment meant in good humor.

There’s a significant difference between predicting what it will specifically look like, and predicting sets of possibilities it won’t look like

Their claim was that future industry would move to Asia or us. Comparisons of US to EU for present day do nothing to contradict this claim. I have no take on this claim being true

Care to elaborate? It’s thought provoking as a mechanism to reduce all of this zero sum (or even worse, parasitic) effort that dominates our system.

I’m not following your critique in relation to the article. It seems to encompass your final line. Step up and work harder. No mention of blocking other countries.

It just reads as present tense. Your point is valid. However, there are going to be how many eye balls that don’t read past the headline and don’t think deeply on it, but now have …

Take your by own advice ;) Don’t pass up a chance to pee is the advice in question. Which I’d equate to; Better safe than sorry

We are not far off from trillionaires. Saying billionaires shouldn’t exist at this point sounds pretty radical to spin in positively

It’s really incredible how much people feel entitled to in the us. And by entitled, I mean they spend money on these things because it’s beneath them to think they shouldn’t have s…
