    I understand that every single cent he puts to use is INFINITELY more valuable than every cent the USG puts to use. I undrestand that this is true for EVERY billionaire on earth. Govts return even less on every dollar than do charities. Gates specializes in getting returns.

    Bill Gates, the supposed “good guy” billionaire not being sure if he would vote for Trump rather than have a 2% wealth tax or whatever is why billionaires cannot exist.

    No one should control that much power. They will fight to maintain their power, against democracy, every time.

    You know how long it would take Warren’s wealth taxes to cost Bill Gates $100 billion, if he never gave another dollar away to charity? Forty-five years. You know how old Bill Gates will be in forty-five years? A hundred and nine. https://t.co/iMqESBFA5C

    @StefanMolyneux One cannot morally argue against Rule of Law by Natural Law of Sovereignty and Reciprocity, where the court and jury provide a market for punishment(court) in competition with the market for rewards(the market proper), & where exists a prohibition against imposition by arbitrage.

    The principle means by which jews,christians,muslims, in the old world, and marxists, postmodernists, and feminists in the modern world, is to use words people don’t comprehend in operational terms, to conduct false promises by sophisms that do little but bait fools into hazard.

    Unfortunately there are a lot of fools to bait into hazard.

    Unfortunately we let them vote into a single house of representatives, creating rule by majority-of-fools best deceived by false promise.

    When if we had created houses for commoners, and women we could debate and trade.

    I would happily debate Andrew because I am not aware of anyone else living who understands issues of modernity as well as I do. Because some of his desire can be produced by moral rather than immoral means. But really, he’s not very smart he just says ‘free stuff!’ for attention.

    And fools come for the bait.

  • I SAID … DECLINING MARRIAGE INCENTIVES AND MALE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE LABOR FORC

    https://e9b0558e-7a7d-4b8e-a3c1-ed599eb209e5.filesusr.com/ugd/c393c3_be1795fad1bb47cdbf28bed27ee45ea6.pdfLIKE I SAID … DECLINING MARRIAGE INCENTIVES AND MALE WITHDRAWAL FROM THE LABOR FORCE

    —“Why have so many young men withdrawn from the U.S. labor force since 1965? This paper presents a model in which men invest time in employment to enhance their value as marriage partners.

    When the marriage market return on this investment declines, young men’s employment declines as well, in preparation for a less favorable marriage market.

    Taking this prediction to data, I show that fewer young men sought employment after TWO interventions that reduced the value of gender-role-specialization within marriage:

    i) the adoption of unilateral divorce legislation, and

    ii) demand-driven improvements in women’s employment opportunities.

    I then show, using a structural estimation, that half of the employment effect of a labor market shock to men’s wages is determined by endogenous adjustment of the marriage market to the shock.

    These findings establish the changing marriage market as an important driver of decline in young men’s labor market involvement.

    That is from the job market paper of Ariel J. Binder, job market candidate from the University of Michigan.
