This might sound super gross (ok, it's super-gross) but I have a pet theory that your odds of being hired have a lot to do with your "fuckability" - regardless of your gender. That is to say, I think men who hire will also p

I doubt the ACA will ever fully live up to its promise because Congressional Republicans need to try and overturn it every 4 months. Even if they don't succeed, they still end up injecting uncertainty into the market, which drives up

Hey, ya know what? There are some people who very strongly believe that the only place in America they can live safely is in the SF Bay Area. And we're going to see more and more stories in the news about why that's the case as t

And as we saw, despite claims from worry warts like Ron Paul, and from gold advertisers playing pump 'n dump, there was no inflation in the US to speak of. Throughout The Great Recession government bond prices remained high - which al

"...there is huge political opposition to counter-cyclical fiscal policy." Congress doesn't want to spend money on infrastructure.

My pet theory is that there's a recession in the first term of any new president. Although, you'd have to give an allowance for Bush Sr. sharing one with the first term of Bill Clinton. If a president could time a recession, it w

This smells a bit "pump & dump"-ish to me.

Pardon my pedestrian take, but I think we're on similar pages. This is the weird, bizarro-world we inhabit because these "markets" are run by supply-side money flows. These companies don't have time to deal with the pesk

Labor has no pricing power. Everything else follows.

I dunno. Does 95% beat getting shot? BTW, your comment is yet another indication that Hacker News is infiltrated by people likely to be paid to post pro-hyper-rich propaganda. I mean, what's in it for you to oppose a more progressive

First of all - you poor thing. But for reals, yes, capital seeks returns. And the people who need the most help have the least capital to make themselves interesting to capital. And that's why we need infrastructure spending from the g
