Not much different than what the left in America is doing today, back then Roman politicians passed laws to keep the votes of poorer citizens, giving out cheap food and entertainment, "bread and circuses", was the most effective way to rise to power. Today free stuff is still the most effective way to power.
The hype will die down as the SEC gets involved and regulations are pursued. Smart time to take profits in my opinion. Many will be left holding the bag as we see a correction to more sustainable levels. Bitcoin is here to stay, but these prices are not rational, driven purely off of emotion.
Endowments should be taxed. How about let some of those billions that major universities are sitting on trickle down to those of use at the bottom? Uni Presidents raking in millions and administration buildings expanding every year. Liberals still some how defend this behavior, its incomprehensible.
Definitely an omen, this has been occurring frequently recently. When bitcoin inevitably collapses as the hype subsides, its highly likely that Coinbase will go down due to the overwhelming amount of users all trying to sell on the exchange at the same time. Can easily see a situation where bitcoin loses 50% in a single day and people are not able to get out by selling their coins.
My best guess is that Universal Basic Income will be similar to the SNAP Program in which funds are loaded onto cards and can be used at certain stores. This most likely will occur in the mid to late 2020s with automation continuing to grow. However, I am not sure UBI would work. Capitalism's laws of supply and demand would essentially make UBI ineffective as suppliers would raise prices to offset a larger money supply.
Universal Basic Income is necessary for humanity to reach to higher goals in their evolution. Wasting 8-10 hours of the day doing a job that robots could do much better is not the best use of human intelligence. Imagine the discoveries and inventions that would happen if humans could devote all of their time to their passion. The benefits drastically outweigh the minuscule downsides
> Maryland actually tops US News and World Reports
We are talking about cities, not states. The city of Baltimore has been consistently failing, which has been run by democrats for a long time. Not talking about the entire state.
> I am citing them as places that are not "failing inner cities" with high crime rates
Where are you getting your data? SF has one of the highest violent crime rates in the nation. Also Los Angeles homicide rate is up 24 percent compared to last year. Etc... Those cities still don't help your case....
That's 10 years old, plus I wouldn't call those voting numbers overwhelming bipartisan support. It passed, but many Republicans voted against it. All democrats voted for it...
There is plenty of blame to go around here. However a major cause of this has been the push by the left that college is the only path to success. Trade and vocational schools as well as military service are all great options for young adults who may not know exactly what they want to do with their life right away. Spending 4 years of your life taking on debt, simply because society tells you college is the path to success is wrong. Also, colleges themselves need to be held accountable here. Most universities are sitting on billions in tax free endowments and not using that money in useful ways. How about use some of that money to help offset some of these debts?
No it is not. Every company to some extent, does something that can be viewed as unethical. Whether its selling user data without notice, or fancy tax practices, etc. The old saying "Don't throw stones if you live in a glass house" applies here.
> anti intellectual voter base will destroy the advancement opportunity of the middle class
Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, etc. Most of the failing inner cities with bad schools and high crime rates have been run by democrats for decades. If anything, it is the far left that should realize that their policies to do not work long term.
> to tax large university endowments and make other tax and spending changes that might adversely affect universities
Why shouldn't major universities pay their fair share to help society? Most of these elite universities literally pocket billions of dollars at the end of the fiscal year. Major universities have essentially evolved into corporations.
> narrowed summons affects approximately 14,000 of the highest-transacting customers from 2 to 4 years ago. The rest of the 480,000 customers remain unaffected,
Seems like the IRS is only going after the big fish for now. I wouldn't be surprised if we see a micro crash in the next couple of weeks as the big players go to the sidelines to see how this plays out. Once the IRS gets involved regulations for transparency usually follow. just my 0.02
"In the United States, no one should lose property at the hands of the government without knowing it" Feinstein wrote on their behalf.
Are we allowed to use this defense in a court of law? I know many people, myself included that have had assets both (monetary and physical) taken by the government both (local and state) without direct knowledge of its potential occurrence. Seems like this case could open Pandora's box
I haven't bought a physical album or digital song in years. Most of my friends haven't either. I am always shocked whenever I see an album sell over 1 million in the first week. These labels have to be buying their own music, there is no other explanation.
> I went to a public school. I enjoyed myself there. I believe it taught me some things.
My mom switched me from public to private school in elementary school. Without a doubt the quality of the private schools' facilities, teachers, staff, and education were much better then the public school. I ended being held back in the 3rd grade simply because I was so far behind my other classmates in terms of knowledge that was not stressed at the public school. Yes, private school can be expensive, but if you have the resources and can find a good school with a track record of success, I highly recommend enrolling your kids in a private school.
> I want us to report objectively and factually and fairly on the news with no other agenda than this: The ultimate arbiters of the truth are the facts of reality.
I really hope this idea takes off. The majority of people are itching for non-biased news. mainstream journalism has become 10% facts, and 90% opinions. Both sides just want to push their agenda
