They exercised their free speech rights on their platform.

Sorry so which part of Biden or Trump asking for Twitter to review content that is against its own policies isn't free speech?

It's extremely odd to characterize all modern management as Taylorism from the outset. The post seems to be flogging a strawperson argument and concluding with a summary of what I think is a fairly broad consensus about what modern management of knowledge workers actually looks like: finding competent people, setting rich context and providing frequent and actionable feedback.

Yes. Also gray areas do exist. This isn't one of them.

The way this is phrased, I expected to learn there was some benefit to a low amount of fraud, as such. There is not. There is a benefit to a high amount of trust, which necessitates accepting some amount of fraud.

This is lacks a strong causal analysis. We still don't understand why polls are consistently undershooting Trump support. Given the performance of polls in 2018, it seems highly correlated to Trump's presence on the ballot, and unclear if it will recur in a future presidential election. Ascribing better analysis to markets than polls requires us to ask "how?", and there isn't a clear mechanism.

I don't understand the question.

The OP was edited in response to this, but I'm still mystified. I'm not making a particular claim about anything other than the experience of Black people in America, so I don't see how the question is relevant.

Agreed. There's very little evidence to support the claims about what is discussed here is what made Stripe successful. Intuitively many of the claims seem true but where is the data?

It's an industry with highly inelastic supply and a huge drop in demand.

That's incredibly regressive. Give money to people who will spend it.

What? Who cares about taxes when you don't have cash in your pocket or food on your table

Yeah that's fair but that's not a realistic way to view the cost of a finished consumer product.

COGS for Casper is ~50%, which doesn't quite line up with your $50. I suppose if you mean $50 in raw materials, plus construction costs, then fine, but that doesn't get you to 20x markup. The margin isn't that crazy. Typical retail markup is 30%.
