Kms don’t count. Not a real distance.

God, I love that show. It won’t be the same without Bachhman though.

“What would you say if I told you there is a app on the market that tell you if you have a hotdog or not a hotdog. It is very good and I do not want to work on it any more. You can hire someone else.”

63 Earths can fit in Uranus.

“The answer is in the middle.”

I deeply, deeply believe in what I wrote.

“No, jobs are created by demand for the service.” 

After all this time, it’s absolutely maddening that so many people believe that supply-side economics is the answer. If it was going to work, it would have worked by now.

Where in the Constitution is there an inherent, fundamental individual right to own and control property beyond what the government allows?

Their toilet paper costs more than this tax... They worked harder than any common worker? No. That’s a romanticized view of the rich. Reality is they made money of the backs of others. That’s the price for being rich. In the end someone has to pay for it. It’s just not them who pay. You think that yacht was earned by…

Get this Laffer Curve bullshit out of here. We’ve tried this for four decades and have gotten nothing but stagnant middle class incomes and skyrocketing income inequality — which is exactly what these voodoo economics were supposed to do, despite how they continue to be sold.

If you benefited from government private property protection (or does you father personally guard his investment properties and do force tenants to pay the rent himself?), government schools (CalTech and presumably at least a portion of primary and secondary education) and government backed loans (what do you think…

No, I’m not. I am both using sound social science to suggest that the “get up and move already” argument is flawed, your vehement wishes notwithstanding. And, as much as this may surprise you, given your deep background in labor economics, there are more low-paid jobs in this world than waiting tables. Labor mobility…

While I understand and agree with your point from at an individual level, there are still plenty of low-paying jobs located in big, expensive cities. At a higher level, if everyone made the rational choices you describe, then there would be tons of minimum wage job vacancies in NYC (and other expensive areas like…

Because moving is expensive? Because people rely on family and friends to exist and help raise children and parents rely on their children to care for them when they’re old? Because no one will hire you for a restaurant job if you live four states away? Because we should want better than a society where the poor are…

Property tax is passed along to renters...
