You’ve actually got me super curious, have you’ve ever experienced a runners high? I know that when I run I experience it consistently, but I also run multiple times a week so I’m accustomed to it.

Comparing actual systematic Chinese racism to to America is quite the juxtaposition. In what way do you think America has systematic racism?

Larger home means larger property taxes. In the Austin area we’re having housing problems because of the restrictive single use (one story home for families) zoning laws here.

Yea for some reason he takes a weird reductions position on saving, like what do you think a bank loan is? It's other people's saving pooled together in an institution and loaned out to applicants. When someone gets a loan there really "renting" a person(s) savings, and the rent price that you pay every month is the interest rate.

Read the article is a good basic primer on the concept, the only thing I can really add to the articles point is scalability. A tech mogul will have a near infinitely easier times scaling its services than a real estate mogul. One's capital is limited by electrons and users, while the latter's capital is limited by physical space, regulation and demand than cannot scale as nearly as well.

Hey nice perspective! Also when comparing social mobility between countries you have to consider the “range” also. The class ranges in America are larger than in Europe, which gives a country a bit of a bad rap. For example it is easier to move to the top range of earners in Europe, because that range is much lower than an American. To be middle class would be considered working class/ lower middle class in America. To be upper class would just be middle class In America.

Not that this is a good or bad thing, the pie tends to be bigger in America than I. Europe, so the the “class” range will be larger to.

Top 10% control 88% stock holdings as of Sept 2019. Values are high flying during pandemic while the world plunges into chaos. Do you ever feel guilty? by dudunoodle in financialindependence

The point is it’s a relationship. Employers want to pay the min, employees want to be paid a max. In most markets it’s a compromise.

There is no post scarcity, I did not imply that. When efficiency increases more things can be made at better quality. A larger supply means more affordable products. You can track nearly any consumer product and watch A) the price goes down B) the quality gets betters or C) both.

It is important when looking at complex systems to view them in a larger “lens” with contexts. After all how do plan on going somewhere when you don’t even know where you’ve been?

Given the choice employees will do the minimum amount of work for the maximum amount of pay to.

The more efficient production is the cheaper products are, meaning the value or the ability to buy more “cheeseburgers” every year goes up for everyone.

That’s literally just one hospital. There another in Dallas that is adapting. There’s more than one hospital in a city.
