There is also one of my favorite talks tangentially related by Lawrence Krauss. He explains that eventually a civilization exploring the universe around them will only see it's own galaxy and likely believe that's all there is.

Liberal by definition is anti-racist. A major tenet of liberalism is egalitarianism and it's what allows free market capitalism. Maybe you should go educate yourself about what Liberalism is before appointing yourself the racism police

Welcome to American politics. I hate racists too which is why I prefer not having them in my state.

Why do you think there are so many posts about people wanting to leave California? Do you think it's really all about taxes? It's not. The prevailing rhetoric of California being "bad" is mostly political and has racist

> conquistadors This is the type of ignorance I'm talking about. The first people to colonize California were mestizo and mulato - generations after the conquistadores in Mexico.

Honestly, I fantasize about a California with population levels pre-Gold-Rush, pre-Dust-Bowl and pre-Silicon-Valley.

No, we get it. DeFi is being able to trade unregulated equities or lend on their collateral on decentralized exchanges with transactions guaranteed by code. In other words, it's for degens that think avoiding taxes on shitcoin trading

A lot of people complain about California policies, but I don't ever see anyone stop to think that maybe those policies aren't there to serve them. That is, perhaps they aren't the constituency those policies were implemented

Many of these companies have been making cars for generations. Toyota for example is set to introduce prototypes with solid state batteries in 2021. Most consumers will opt for their familiar and reliable Camry that happens to run on batter

There is a herculean effort by every car manufacturer in the world to compete for Tesla's electric car market share. In the coming years there will be so much competition in this space. And then you have Elon snubbing California, one o

California is absolutely prime real estate especially for the rich. And if you're a billionaire you're going to have to pay for the privilege. We'd sooner install our own state digital currency before allowing dollar billiona

HN is not immune to political biases especially when it comes to taxes. Nobody likes taxes and if you can either avoid them or recoup them through subsidies it makes you "smart."

> CA at some point will try to tax unrecognized capital gains Where is the evidence for this? Effectively, Elon has avoided future California capital gains taxes by moving. Those are the facts of his move. Personally, I would rather pay

I also value my right to life and people being careless and needlessly propagating the virus puts that at risk.

Fine, but we generally don't average out values nationally to price homes. We don't take home values from the Detroit market, Beverly Hills market and San Antonio market to price a house in New York. Real estate is deflationary be

I don't follow you. Normally, real estate markets are tracked in isolation.

By that definition Bitcoin is a neutral asset class as well since it's deflationary nature is also artificially imposed. > the price of real estate in the US has not changed. That's just ludicrous.

Ridiculously expensive data caps exclusively used for wealth extraction.

I'm so glad this is the top comment. Companies are for the benefit of people. When companies become a detriment to public health and wellbeing they need to be regulated.
