Unless there is a moral hazard to distributing wealth evenly!

I immediately googled “Uzbek population centers in United States”

Highly highly recommend. I use it at least once a week and have done so for several years. My daughter loves scrolling through all the local birds and playing the sounds they make.…

Hot take (with recency bias): Ron Chernow Homer and Virgil were historians at the end of the day. Whether what they reported as happening was true or not is as irrelevant as whethe…

seems cruel and unusual…

I don’t look down upon people based on what they think is cool and I don’t think you should either.

Yep, agree.

You’re speaking with authority but have no sources. What can you point me to that says working for longer than a month at 72 hrs/wk is unsustainable? Sure everything you say can ha…

Hard work is invigorating? Especially when working on something cool?

There’s something so beautiful and heavy about the how frank and pithy the opening line of Anna Karenina is: “All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its ow…

Yep, agree. I was mostly focused on the cause, but supply chain disruption certainly seems to have exacerbated the collapse. I think the supply chain was probably disrupted mostly …

I don’t think we’re disagreeing. I am saying the prime mover was probably climate change and you’re saying the disruption of supply chains exacerbated the collapse. Both can be tru…

I'm very curious what part of the article you're drawing on to suggest that their reliance on copper and tin was the cause of the collapse. The article that I read seemed to sugges…

Agree with you on most angles but with a twist: the suburbanite should be seen not as the adult shopping, but as the children that the suburbanite is most likely shopping for. I’m …

I’m not sure you have to be that rich to pay the $300 per year membership to buy food at loss leading prices. The bulk sizing of everything at Costco is overblown anyways. I wish i…

Can someone more up to speed explain to me why with Virginia’s proximity to one of the largest natural gas reservoirs in the world in West Virginia, they don’t just build new power…

the film in the article says: "a 100 W light bulb turned on every night for a year takes equivalent energy output from burning half a ton of coal" I get that this film is probably …

Economy != software companies. Maybe there needs to be a capital rotation out of tech? That’s speaking beyond my expertise though (and imo is a little too doomer). Continuing the h…

Which enrich existing shareholders who can use that capital to invest in other economically expanding projects.

This is the right question. Every company has a list of >WACC IRR projects that it can spend saved money on. If not, it’s a cash cow company that wasn’t growing in the first place …

I believe that as self-driving cars become more ubiquitous, these deaths (and other traffic-related deaths) will decrease. I was driving on a 4 lane road at 5 in the morning and al…

I live in Texas, which is probably very similar to where you’re thinking of, and I could list off at least 10 different places within a 1 hour radius that should be visited.
