Piketty is a fool. End central banking and lender of last resort. That is it. There will still be a natural order of poor and rich just like every other natural system but it will not be as extreme and it will not reward the wrong people


Please make your points without calling names. Maybe you don't owe Piketty better, but you owe this community better if you're posting to it.

No thanks, I'm good


Except when Uber and Lyft were kicked out of Austin, ride austin was up in a matter of weeks


Ride Austin is wonderful, but does not do the same thing that Uber and Lyft do. Namely: they're only in Austin.

Additionally, from their own site: http://www.rideaustin.com/faq

> How much has it cost to build RideAustin?

> The tech community contributed technology to power the app that costs millions to develop - but it also took over $7 million in cash donations and significant in-kind services donations to make RideAustin what it is today.

That is non-trivial.


When a taxi company here contracted to build their own hailing app, it was done to the tune of €500-600K. Every bit as good as the big rideshare apps.


Also knows as being valuable


Makes sense to borrow at 10%?!?! You are witnessing the end here

So tired of all this living wage crap. Hopefully you are just young idealogues. Sorry but working at McDonald's, Walmart, Disney World, or instacart were never meant to pay a living wage. They are unskilled positions meant for young workers entering the workforce to gain skills and experience or other workers to make extra money. And they don't have to exist at all. Someone think of a way to create extra money for people and all of the sudden it must support a living wage! Stop repeating platitudes ad nauseum. You are not as smart as you think you are. Why should picking up someone's groceries and bringing to their house justify a living wage as you call it?


Probably the best answer. Gold is portable wealth outside the system though you want to take it to a better system.

This time beans and bullets might be the better hedge


Probably not old enough to remember Obama 8k cash to home buyers or the nearly same amount given via the economic stimulus act


Be more self sufficient,localize production
