Assuming they work 40 hours a week. Do they? Maybe I’m just off the mark but this doesn’t seem like the kind of job you clock in at 9 and stay till 5.

That was not a useful metaphor, but by all means try again (if you want) and teach us something interesting (and concrete) based on your unique experience.

While I very much agree with your sentiment and to be honest I prefer dining in the USA, it’s naive to think (in most cases) that they actually care about anything other than getting you out of the restaurant as soon as possible to work a n

It’s not surprising to anyone that two random Spaniards may disagree on whether a number like this is high or low. That’s because Spaniards don’t all get together to agree on a common position for online posting; and because high/low d

You’re right but this chain of reasoning is irrelevant/missing the important point. You don’t need to track index X to be affected by changes in X. You only need to hold something related to X. Almost all pension funds, heck almost eve

If you think seasoning windows don’t matter and pre ipo price signal is already great, true and fair, explain Cerebras price after IPO in the midst of one of the biggest sectoral bull runs in history.

So what that it’s total market? We must be talking about different issues. The main issue for me is that the seasoning window was reduced. Of course eventually spcx should be included, I’m not arguing against that (and I haven’t heard anyon

It’s not just Nasdaq-100 it’s Russell indices too, which are way bigger by the way (not that it matters). Regarding misplaced corruption allegations. Virtually everywhere it is illegal to both give a bribe as to receive a bribe. It’s not ju

What was unlikely to happen? It already happened in Nasdaq. It’s nice that it didn’t for S&P but for most investors it already did happen, so I’m not sure the ‘whatever’ attitude is warranted. Also, since when is it appropriate/int

You shouldn’t be getting downvoted. If people would read the article they’d see it’s not an original.

No. Since 2004. Since 1955 it’s way more than 22%.

by frikskit 9mo ago
By “flat” you mean “similar” ?Because your link shows approx 22% increase.

Good point. It would be sufficient for there simply to have been an increase in % of households where both parents work. That can lead to fewer hours worked per employee, low productivity growth, and increase in household income.

Hours worked for full time employees in EU apparently has been falling year over year since at least 2013. Maybe it has increased for part timers though? Not sure how to square that with the fact that there’s been low productivity growth si

I don’t understand your point about them being economists? How could anyone, economist or not, make a statement on future unexpected developments?

With so much of the UK with living with unspecified malaise, some significant part of which likely contributing to their low employment participation rate, I suspect giving everyone vitamin D would be very cost effective.

Can you elaborate on the last point? As someone going through a very hard time with my wife at the moment I’d love any words of wisdom.

Europe does have Microsoft. Actually, it has Microsoft in almost every single respect except the primary beneficial ones: taxes, employment and oversight.

Well America is pretty freaking cool, so I guess I don’t blame them.

Net migration US/Ireland is positive to Ireland. UK numbers yes, though maybe gloomy weather plays a role? Just kidding. That said, Brits are slightly more likely to move to Spain than US despite it being a tiny country in comparison a

Would it? People don’t exclusively learn English to migrate to the US. What language do you think Germans and Spaniards use to do commerce with each other? There needs to be a common language, there’s no bandwidth to learn all languages, so

High fractions of Europeans speak English, eg Poland has 50% of population speaking English (for those of working age it’s probably much higher) whereas the fractions of Americans speaking non-English European languages is much lower (0.25%

Are the papers useful/impactful or does the EU just blindly throw money at scammers with PhDs?

So industrialization is a binary bit? You just “do” it and it’s over? Not a very convincing take imo. Industrialization, like deindustrialization, is a continuous process. Every industry suffers from depreciation and decay which means that

Why not set very low maximum wage ceilings and have 100% employment? /s

by frikskit 1y ago
Small decrease in employment in exchange for ~25% higher wages for those employed? Did I get that right? Obviously every single row in the dataset is a unique human, but overall sounds like a big success?

Redo your analysis with something less absurd than 8%. For example 4.5% and you see no improvement in 100 years. 5% growth and it takes 59 years. Historically major tax cuts in the US increased GDP growth by -1 to 1.5%. You bring up a good
