  • Cold Gruel

    Just imagine if they started investing when they were only ten years old. That would be even better. If only our nation's children were not so irresponsible and would get real jobs. Why can't they be more like Tim Hartford who, when he was a boy (although never had a childhood and and old soul born 40 years old and wise) shined shoes and ...

  • Regarding the Wall-E article...

    ''Wall-E tells us that if we don't change the way we live, we'll all get really fat and destroy the world.'' You'll find no bigger supporter of the first amendment than me. However, I think the statement above, quoted from the article is a little biased. To me, it sounds like someone who is just looking for a reason to look down on ...

  • Re: Economic Consequences of Depopulation

    He mentioned one economic point: That an additional person will cause $20,000 in ''carbon damage'' over their lifetime.
