Well, it mostly just makes products cheaper. Also, sites like amazon can be linked to the current low inflation due it`s ability for users to price guage efficently.

The US should seriously consider decoupling critical services like this from government. It is neither reliable nor necessarily to have the setup you are currently using.

I would terminate my apple dependency in a heart beat.

Is there a large enough presence of "non deplorables" on these sites to worry about unnecessary and unintended polarization due to these purges?

Is posing guilt on an audience a good way to make them agree with you? I honestly want to go the other way in situations like these.

He also embedded this tweet:

"The BuzzFeed "pivot" away from podcasts makes sense when you remember that BuzzFeed lives and dies as a business on detailed analytics. Web content has them. Video has them. Podcasts still don't."

In my opionion this is exactly what BuzzFeed lacks and what a lot of podcasts allow.

How is having different regulations for each state the recipe for increased investments? This topic just seem way too politicised.

Assuming that cutting work hours per position would allow for more positions. How would this achieve both less unemployment and less carbon emissions? Would you not need to choose one over the other?

You can always negotiate, but if you accept an offer I expect you to commit.

So we all get to decide how all the resources are spent? I am concerned that the desire to deem certain energy spending as unethical can lead us down a creepy path of authoritarianism.

This is an awesome example of how tricky it is to innovate and regulate towards cleaner environmental behaviour.

There are plenty of people who use fiat currencies that are almost useless outside of their own nations borders, with extremely bad exchange rates. This basically binds a person to one country and hinders movement and prosperity.

It seems rather far fetched to have such low rents over time in a big EU city like Berlin. It is unavoidable that capital will flow into the city and compete for real estate. Not only that, but how they expect to get investments if you cannot increase rent?

Having a housing market based mostly on rent obfuscates the other side of housing, namely the owners need to take care of said house.

Well if a company cannot compete because wages are too high then the company goes under and jobs are gone.

Germany is a good example of this, they have a ton of unions and lots of production but the unions understand that competition is key to survival so there are very few strikes.

This happens way more in the south of europe than in the north, where unions realize that competitiveness trumps wages.
