Great article on a timely topic. The only point I think Nilay didn’t fully address is the specific impact on Amazon Marketplace. Amazon often takes half or more of the revenue from those sales, which helps sustain its “one-stop shop” domina

Great stuff. Yeah it's as I suspected CA collects more from property tax per capita than TX, NY more than both. CA and NY both have very high income taxes that augment schools so it's not likely lack of money that is causing poo

Has anyone done a comparison of how much California collects per capita in tax revenue from property tax versus other states like New York and Texas? For example, in NY they used assessed value which is an often a small fraction of actual

If you increase regulation so the time and cost to build a nuclear plant is impossible...then yeah everything else is way cheaper. Not exactly brkeaking news.

MSFT doesn't have a fiduciary duty or a duty of care like a director does. They are shareholders.

If Sprint had gone bankrupt you would have had the same effect- the assets including licenses sold to Tmobile. That said, I don't think Sprint would have gone bankrupt but it def was underinvesting.

Going from 4 large competitors to 3 has obviously hurt completion and led to higher prices. Americans tend to pay a lot more for their cell service- especially single lines than other countries. There are mitigating factors such as T-mobil

Fair use is how cos like Google got started in the first place. AI is similarly dependent on sucking up vast quantities of information, with a light touch of course, and use that to create the NEXT Google. For that matter, who will build th

I wish we had trains just like Japan and Europe have, but we don't have geography or population density like Japan or Europe has. We have surmountable problems in regulation that drive up our costs to 6x per mile what it costs other co

The article there looks at ONE use of technical analysis which is a moving average crossover. The nicest houses I know are owned by traders who know how to use technical analysis. it is very interesting that such an uniformed opinion is t

Why not a similarly brave stance in China? In China Apple claims it "obeys all local laws" except in the UK it wants to be courageous? I guess it's a brave state unless the $$$ are good.

Merkel wanted a pipeline that just happened to terminate in her district you forget to mention. She may have a physics degree but she is a politician and I have a feeling she used her political education more than her physics on this one.

First of all, the most dangerous word in the world is "safe"- there is no such thing. It's an illusion. You are not safe, you will get sick and die one day. We all will. Also, people have been having "unsafe" sex

Aside from the problem that Wealth Taxes have been tried multiple times in many countries and failed, or the fact that enforcement would be more expensive than the revenue collected- I think most people object to the idea of taxiing people

If you read that article it talks about how some of that money is spent on prevention so it's a bit unfair to just use existing homeless as the denominator- it's still an obscene amount of money per person. So saying it's &q

Economists writing about the end of the dollar as a reserve currency is not a new thing. With the Fed printing money tho at record rates this would be the time for a shift to happen. The problem is there is no alternative. The Euro has it

This looks like you are making stuff up. I don't think it's a small motivation of Musk to escape the tax rate when he starts to sell his shares. Just because he vested them while in CA - if he's a resident of Texas when he
