Nice and clear article, however while I was reading it, I was wondering how the estate tax handles such scenarios. When this owner of In-N-Out dies, how does that tax get applied?

I'm not sharing my opinion on the matter or anything, just correcting you that the California wealth tax is a one-time event, so the owner would only need a single $250M loan, not a new one each year.

So is the takeaway that universal child care has a positive impact on GDP of the parents, but a negative impact on the overall life of the child?

> As long as there are many competitors, that's better than a monopoly, even if some of the competitors are foreign

How do you prevent another monopoly from forming from a different country than your own?

I kinda somewhat reluctantly agree with you, and I think other commenters are missing the point that breaking up Google may allow non-US competitors to rise up and take Google's place on the world stage. Thus, breaking them up is not in the national interest of the US.

> His wife and child aren't citizens of his home country either, so it's not like they can move to be with him. Their lives are shattered.

What would the steps be for this? Hopefully the other country has easier entry and that would be a possible route?

I wonder if this has to do with the current economy and job market. Anecdotally I have found it very tough to find a new job (software engineering), though my previous employer continues to post job listings for green card applications as part of the required labor market test.

Sounds like your wife needs to be more accommodating or understanding. My spouse understands decompression time and enables it, despite me working remotely.

Just casually dropping a link to a 54-minute video? Back in my day the internet was a series of links to webpages that were short reads!

Do Stories show up differently than posts? Asking as someone that has not used Instagram beyond looking at a few specific profiles.

Why do you choose to live this way? Such a long commute sounds life-sucking. Consider moving to a smaller city.
