The top 10% are paying over 71% of income taxes in the US. Who are you to say what their "fair share" is?

In America, welfare is designed in such a way in which it actually prevents the jobless from wanting to enter the workforce. They actually make more by panhandling and collecting welfare than simply getting an entry level job. The jobless understand this basic economic tactic well, so they end up permanently living off welfare and not trying to get a job. The government does not want to fix welfare to actually work (for example, with a negative income tax instead) because it would result in the firing and unemployment of many government welfare office workers.

It's similar to how critical race theory, when taught in schools, pits the kids against each other.

There is undoubtedly some survivorship bias, however, it sounds like you have already taken the blue pill and succumbed to corporate slavery.

That's not because of the processor. It's because the newest iPad Pro has a 120hz display and the other devices that you were comparing to have a 60hz display.

Poker can be considered work. If you actually truly learn to play it, it teaches you a lot about people, emotions, thinking ahead several steps, probability, and risk and reward.

Except that Bill Gates and people of that type don't get tired from it. They get energized.

Obviously, there are drawbacks with the CCP (and Amazon), but I can tell you one damn thing for sure: those people would not have been lifted out of poverty under the socialist/communist regime of Mao. Under that regime, people were mocked and tortured for working harder than others and trying to innovate. Deng Xiaoping embraced free markets and their own flavor of capitalism to bring this net positive to China.

It's more important to keep in mind that Amazon created hundreds of thousands of new jobs, raised minimum wage in many areas, and brought many people out of absolute poverty. No matter which way you look at it, a net positive rather than a negative.

To these journalists that have little understanding of economics, it's always a zero-sum game. They make up their own economics.

There are several entire companies whose core product is a security camera that cannot get a security camera to work "well". At least 50% of it is making the user experience smooth and loading times extremely low. You would think that the product managers are responsible for this would take responsibility for it and make sure it works perfectly. However, there are very few great product managers out there. Most of them fail miserably and end up giving even the good product managers a bad reputation. At the end of the day, the guy who wrote this could possibly be just a single poor plonker in his mom's basement who never stood a chance against the most discriminating of users like us.

So this guy is both good at sales and a good programmer and he writes a blog talking about it. Hmmm doubtful...

When you let marketing people do the math, they come up with the "constant" churn equation.

And is this rainy-day fund working? I am seeing that the human feces pickup-patrol in SF is costing taxpayers up to $184k each and SF is becoming an even worse homeless-friendly dump with California's extreme liberal policies.

Yeah... Those people in the pictures on that site... they're not going to be living on this ship.

One thing I can tell you for sure: you are not going to like the smell on this ship.
