  1.  @mattmurphy7030  I don't think it's a joke. Again, if I remember correctly, in finance VP is not a high title

  2. Isn't vice president a not that high title in corporate world for a long time? Wasn't MC in American Psycho also vice president despite not being anywhere near the top?

  3. ​​ @rebeltheharem7028  some of it can be recycled. Some other can be stored for 100 years or less(and no, there is no nuclear waste that needs millions of years), becoming safe after

  4.  @ItWasSaucerShaped  No one thinks 50s/60s/70s were sustainable, but boom back then allowed society to spend a lot on welfare. Now the boom is long over, and it's time to cut welfare spending

  6. Should be noted that war is rational. It's just that people who say that it isn't have different goal in mind(maximizing pleasure instead of becoming the dominant power and spreading own influense and gеnеs)

  10. They are selected because it works. Yes, some people with ambitions go a bit too far, but generally being psychopath is beneficial if you aim high

  12. Tbf I'm a bit skeptical about "human interaction" stuff. Before automatization, in every elevator was a guy who operated it, and every order in mcdonalds was processed by a human cashier. Yes, some of such jobs will remain, large portion, if not most, will cease to exist. Also another issue seems to be a computing power. Currently companies like OpenAI seem to require supercomputers just to train AI to do the simple things like writing walls of text similar to ones written by liberal arts degree holders. Considering the Moore's law is about to stop working it's unlikely that we will have AI that is able to do really complex tasks.

  13.  @neonovalis  as far as I know house prices to median annual wage rose from 60s, just not as fast as lately

  14.  @scoliosis9478  well, a lot of people may not want to go to war, and having a policy of "only whoever wants to fight fights doesn't work

  15. While not all regulations are bad, most countries are extremely overregulated

  16. ​ @killergrooves2438  well, I remember China trying to encourage young women to settle down right away without education and career, but they will need more reforms to actually achieve this result

  17. Well, depends what are those "regulations". If it bans "far-right" AI then they are crying for a good reason

  20. Finally humanity seems to be on the right track. Guess governments needed heat waves to start and renewables fail to perform to start making a right decisions in this field

  23. Could be good, but your "funny" jokes indicate that you're actually butthurt and envy those people(or others, who got away with breaking the rules)

  24. I agree with the courts' decisions. If there's a goal to give people a way to evaluate company potential, it should be done through financial statements. And the whole idea that market is efficient is wrong, simply because we know there are funds/traders who consistently beat the market(even if not a lot of them). It's more like those economic professors WANT to make markets efficient through additional regulation simply out of spite

  30. Would be interesting if there was analysis of also top 5%, top 0.1% and top 0.01%. Would expect to see much less doctors and more businessmen in the latter two categories. Also living standards would probably actually go well above average population

  31. 1)there is strong reason to believe that crime statistics are rigged because certain blue cities simply don't register them. I.e. from 80s there was a decrease, but then wokeness came in 10s and it rose back again. 2)There's long term observation of perceived inflation being higher than officially measured one. While most economists believe that it's because of people notice bad thing more than good ones, I have an alternative theory. I think it's because while officially measured inflation includes all things, perceived one is based on goods majority of people actually spend money on, i.e. groceries and rent(maybe cheap car and insurance payments too). If we account for perceived inflation I'm pretty sure wage growth will be zero if not negative. 3)While current situation is probably better than great depression(not sure if there was such an extensive welfare back then, if no it could explain hunger that happened back then but does not now or during covid), and definitely better than in some other countries like china, russia or north korea, I don't think majority of americans compare their situation to one in those countries, they compare it to US one in 2000s and 2010s, maybe 1950s-1990s. And from those years there definitely is a downgrade in terms of purchasing power of average and especially median american. After all there were times when there was large amount of people(middle class) who after few years of work could afford to buy a house, couple of cars and support a family of 4-5(husband, wife, 2-3 kids) on a single income

  34. Compared to soviet russia US got it easy. In 1930-1933 from 5.7 to 8.7 MILLION people died from starvation in soviet union. Just shows that even mismamaged capitalism is incomparably better than communism

  35. If food prices dropped I don't understand how there could have been hunger. Why didn't people just agree to work for extremely low wage that would still let them afford food? Was there a minimum wage in place back then?

  36.  @awwfishsticks  we won't. The successes of socialists happened ONLY because governments in 19th and 20th century were reluctant to use force against poor people. In medieval times they were not and everything was completely different

  42. Should be noted that there's an optimal level(or more precisely distribution) of "prosperity"(and education). If everyone is wealthy(and educated) there's no cheap labor force to capitalize on. But if everyone is poor it's bad too
