I think there is times where comparing the ratio of economic stock vs. flow, i.e capital to wealth ratios, but yah the billionaire wealth to GDP comparisons just seem silly.

I get what they're trying to say, but it is the weakest way to argue their point.

Tangentially, when COVID-19 forced my company to go work from home it thrust in to my face all the things that about that company that made me hate my job and gave me anxiety attacks.

I ultimately quit that job with nothing lined up and found a much more fulfilling job, with better pay. I don't think I would have quit that last job if it wasn't for the disruption, and I would have still been miserable.

R is a nasty nasty language for productionalizing things, honestly it's just too flexible and let's you do the craziest things.

I often do a fair amount of exploratory data analysis in Excel, and then take it to a BI tool or some other process to actually formalize it.

In excel the ability to be sloppy is actually really nice to just sling together a few random models and call it good when I don't need to be precise.

From a company perspective I think this is a horrible idea, I don't want to push all my customers together so that they can all complain in the same place.

I mean you're describing what most Enterprise Resource Planning deployments look like. There's a lot of enterprise software that follows this model

It can be a land value tax with a progressive rate. And yah as other said, poor people don't own land anyways. Now the middle class would hate this.
