Well I see bitcoin talks by instagram models saying they are bitcoin gurus now too.

I'm inclined to think bitcoin is a bubble, but cryptotech is the future.

This is just offensive. I know so many kids with degrees just struggling under debt and poor job prospects.

We need a reformation for universities and their contract with society.

People probably did. Plus it was ultimately decided by a bloody civil war that still has lasting cultural and mental consequences to this current day.

So do you really believe eating meat is at the same level as human slavery , or is it an argument to ridiculousness.

My point was we should not ignore the human cultural consequences in our logical calculus, humans aren't purely rational actors .

The bigger concern is here is the clear link between automation and increased worker mental instability.

Will automation lead to more populists revolts ? I don't know but we need research into more solutions (besides just basic income), the problem is too big to ignore.

Something like a partial tax might be better. A tax that doesn't affect the meat, the lower classes buy. A much higher tax on the cuts of meat preferred by the upper classes.

Ex. no tax on ground beef, but a very high tax on filet mignon or ny strip steaks.

I personally think we can have a less divisive higher environmental impact by banning private jets.

Please don't.

A tax will lead to democrat losses in 2018. The sugar tax in philadelphia galvanized republicans across the rest of PA during 2016.

Eating meat is incredibly important to the middle classes. BBQ's are important social quasi-religious family bonding events in the United States. Taxing meat will lead to backlash far bigger than a "tea party".

Isn't time for facebook to be regulated by the government ? This is just unbelievable.

I hope Tim Cook watches this, because my respect for apple is tanking.

Don't most people feel the exact same way ?

I really respect this. We need to publically shame and boycott companies that hide their money and refuse to pay taxes.

The government isn't doing anything, but we can !

Google needs to be investigated and broken up. Its beyond time for an investigation and regulation of Google from the united states government.

Other countries are already starting work against Google. The power Google wields over the general public warrants severe investigation at even the hint of abuse of power.

Is this the beginning of a myspace death spiral ?

I've noticed a lot of younger people moving away from facebook to trendier platforms. Instagram and Periscope? seems to be huge.

Good. It's time for the us government to also start regulating Google at home for this kind of nonsense.
