Raising the price doesn’t “solve” shortage and no one in economics makes that claim. Instead, the claim is more limited - that even in times of shortage if you want to make sure that the item in question is still available, raising the pric

Maybe a sign of AI alignment? It understands that it's harmful to let humans spread false and politically motivated ideas, so it's trying to avoid contributing to that?

Misleading submission. Actual headline is "Donald Trump jokes about 2028 re-election bid". Given the submitter's comment & submission history, we have to consider this an attempt at disinformation. A poor attempt, to be

Ostracizing X-ist and X-ism is a noble idea. Creating an intellectual culture where all political ideas you disagree with can be construed as X-ist... not so much.

This is an absurd standard that no society can hold members to. If you are judged not on your actions but on the actions others may take due to words they heard from someone who heard them from someone who heard them from you, then we might

This is great individual strategy, and is an important part of being polite generally. But the article isn’t about people not wanting to be polite, it’s about perfectly polite people being told that some ideas are off limits in all context

Capital markets have existed for hundreds of years. They are not doing anything today that they were not doing in 1602. I am familiar with the 737 MAX critique and I'm very comfortable saying that Boeing was sloppy and cut corners. I

Cancer is a disease that attacks living organisms, similar to how collectivism attacks living societies. "Financialization" is a 7 syllable word with no definition. There is nothing about how Boeing builds & sells planes today

A nonprofit, co-op, or government entity, serving the same customer the same product would produce an identical amount of pollution as the for-profit factory.
