It seems to me you were supporting the op when he said

>It could be nice if companies would be forced to set up collective workers representation entities when they reach a certain numbers of employees, where I am the limit is of 50 employees, then you must have a collective representation

So if that was the case, how can I work for a large company without such workers representation?

Don't use it? How can I do that when I'm legally forced to do so?

No thanks, please stop forcing me to be unemployed.

>There would be no avenue at all for someone to make money on the actual content.

Except this is trivially disprovable by simply looking at YouTube.

Copyright plays essentially zero role in the business models of the vast majority of sucessful youtubers, and it is arguably a platform that is far more sucessful than traditional media at producing high quality, relevant content.

Sure, if you get rid of copyright some business models will no longer be possible... but some new business models will now be viable.

You wouldn't argue "we have to protect the baby crushing machine industry because if we don't then the baby crushers won't have a job", so why are you making that argument for copyright?

That seems to indicate to me that the original work is actually not under copyright, since if it is the only method of achieving such an image in such a style, then there is no originality to be copyrighted.

Good thing population is reducing, isn't it?

There are no legitimate reasons to go on my property.

So are you going to be protesting against the democratic party for doing so in 2016?

Except that's not true.

At the end of the day all stock market returns come from one's of 3 things:

Dividends

Earnings per Share growth

Multiple expansion

Over the long run the speculation that you so decry ( which amounts to Multiple expansion) has a negligible impact (less than 1%).

Sure you have plenty of short term booms and busts, but over the long term they are really irrelevant.

Of course they reflect build costs, as well as regulatory costs...

From personal experience cost of living in portugal is in line with germany.

There is no lack of space in portugal to build housing in.

The "housing crisis" is 100% a political choice by portuguese voters.

I never stopped being.

Because the ones paying for that increase in productivity should be the ones receiving the benefits from it.

That is, the shareholders who own the business and paid for the machines, not the employees who merely operate them.

Will you be moving away from stripe after this?

Why do you believe there is more engagement in mastodon than in a platform designed to maximize engagement?

The employees made that choice for themselves when they chose to start working for Pixar.

They make that choice everyday they chose to keep working for it.

Often you're not legally allowed to spend it if you do that.

He included inflation, and there's plenty of tax advantaged accounts that let you grow tax free

Bingo!

All these complaints that productivity growth has been matched by salary growth always seems to ignore that most of the productivity gains have been the result of capital expenditure, not of workers being better at their jobs.

You're incorrect.

Given the information currently available, probably not, but that doesn't mean they should be silenced.

Land ownership is not the constraint to housing that you think it is.

I can buy thousands of square meters of land that is physically able to support housing for a negligible amount of money.

The land is useless to me because construction is expensive (as a result of regulatory requirements) and I'm not legally allowed to build there (also due to regulatory requirements).

You don't need to use credit cards.

There is no free rider problem.

Because that same issue happens today with the current welfare problems.

People like to pretend it doesn't, but it does.

Because businesses are owned by people who in turn are taxed.

In effect any corporation tax is a double tax.

Not having laws that actively enable the stalking is a good start

Installing a public toilet in a park cost 1.7 million dollars and years worth of effort, for something that a random contractor would have built for 10k dollars in a pair of afternoons.

I dont need to make that argument. You need to make the argument that I shouldn't be able to.
