I really doubt that, trade capital and relationships are what define those houses, not their tech stack. Some of them are already pretty advanced from an in-house development perspective and could compete with the best of commercial-ready in the market trading platforms and data sources.

Most exchanges are public companies and they do much more than provide a simple marketplace for investors. Exchanges used to be owned by their customers but many of them “de-mutualized” years ago.

LSEG, ICE, NASDAQ also have major data and software businesses that generate significant revenues.

People can have a variety of different comfort levels with different kinds of risk. You’re suggesting that someone should consider a slightly lower salary + future possible earnings on options as equivalent to slightly lower salary + future possible earning on options - risk of loss on early exercise. Some people work for startups, some are angel investors, there is some overlap but it’s not 1:1 and it’s because those are different types of risk.

That is definitely still a thing. I get AMEX offers regularly equivalent to $1200 in rewards.

Have you read up about the world of commodity trading at all? I imagine you’d be interested in the book The World for Sale if you haven’t already read it. Interesting combination of market structure, fraud and geopolitics.

I partially disagree. Assuming you are majoring in something that has some positive ROI and do enough to actually graduate, which isn’t hard at most colleges, the party experience can be very supportive of most people’s future careers.

The social skills, networks, and alumni connections you build at college are a large fraction of the benefit that college gives the average person to further their career.

Otherwise, I agree. College is a great time to take advantage of the time you have to change your network, generate new ideas and take risks. And I also agree that most there can be benefit (though highly unlikely) for some people to not attend college or to drop out.

That’s probably a pretty fair assumption. That barrier helps to qualify potential buyers.

There’s a government program that is similar to a 401k, called the Thrift Savings Plan.

Has a single law review article done more to propel anyone’s career or drive policy than the Amazon Antitrust Paradox?

This already happens in some places. For example, in Houston, HOAs and other neighborhood management districts will contract with Constables to have a dedicated deputy in their neighborhood with a separate contact number. Others will contract with armed private security to patrol their neighborhoods as well.

Also, this is how people use the police already. They call them when they are annoyed with their neighbors, the infamous woman in Central Park that was covered heavily in the news this year comes to mind.
