"(we’re supportive of a rise in the corporate tax rate)"

Isn't advocating for higher taxes a breach of fiduciary duty to maximize profits to shareholders?

“If someone were to rent you home today, how much do you think it would rent for monthly[...]'

That’s a very poor proxy for housing cost."

Agreed. Rental data is publicly available. Why bother asking only to get a worse answer?

The intent is to maintain status-quo despite evidence that it's a broken system for medical users. Profits are being made based on the system we have. It's boards & c-suite executives keeping their fiduciary responsibility to their investors by lobbying against structural change. The intent is clearly there.

It always seemed like Apple missed an opportunity to make the iMac's a bit more portable. There wasn't much 3rd party kit for this either, like a collapsible stand, or display cover, no carrying handles, etc.

Serious question: why would the bubble /need/ to "burst"?

You already suspect the answer and are hoping to be persuaded otherwise. You will be disposable to Facebook while you are doing the work of optimizing dark patterns and empowering display algorithms which are proven to polarize and reinforce beliefs.

On the flip side, Facebook could be a big payday which could be life changing for your family. I'm not intending to judge you, though society might. By that point you're probably part of the 1% so you wouldn't really care.

domestic social anxiety that these tools/weapons will just as likely be used to target US citizens. in this political climate it seems tone deaf to ignore those concerns.

This just makes so much more sense than the US's broken system. Is there a corollary to what you describe such that the governments could periodically publish a list of priorities, thus incentivizing private research into a particular categories (certain types of cancers, alzheimers, etc)?

Can anyone from a socialized medicine country explain how this particular treatment would be dispensed in their country? I'm an American and wondering, for example, would government of the Netherlands truly front this $1mm per treatment cost for every cancer patient?
