Historically, when one tribe conquered another, they would take their women and bear children with them.
If America is the receptable of this activity from other nations, what does that say about us?
Yeh, and if a greater fraction of the population is working in healthcare, that means there's a smaller share for them to extract surplus from. Which may perniciously incentivize the industry to get more people into chronic care conditions.
Taking the current state as given, of course alleviating a bunch of infirmities is productive. Of course, fixing your broken down car is productive. Of course clearing the garbage from the alleys is productive.
Agreed. But if year after year you find that you're spending more and more of your resources on these activities, that's a sign something might be awry.
Do you know of anyone who’s tried to create a GDP alternative that excludes maintenance type stuff. There are some tricky conceptual issues to work out.
No, I don't know of any. But I think it would be a good idea, especially if the BEA does it, essentially like an official statement that you shouldn't take the headline GDP number as a gospel-truth summary indicator. There's a lot more nuance to this under the hood.
Some commentary about this: #1370195
It's not all sunshine and roses
Thanks for the clarification. But IMO this article feels a bit like whitewashing, and the law firm who wrote it is obviously on the side of supporting this legal theory.
But the presentation in the WSJ article still seems accurate. The ruling does create legal ambiguity and inconsistencies that could take years to resolve. That still creates a chilling effect in the real estate market and a feeling of uncertainty for private property owners.
And while the Cowichan tribe may surely be well intentioned, and while the judge may prefer negotiated resolutions rather than litigated ones, there is no guarantee that that is how it will play out. I think it's reasonable for property owners feel nervous about this.
Just my understanding of it as a layman, anyway.
Yes, fairly standard for a working paper length.
It's inflated a bit by our practice of putting each table and fig on its own page while the paper is still in draft form, but the typical econ paper is definitely longer than the typical physics paper
Seems like relevant evidence for sentencing, wonder why it wasn't considered
Don't many Indians dislike the caste system?
If I ever run a company that goes bankrupt and I'm forced to stop running it, at the very least I'd want to open source all my stuff so that the dedicated userbase can continue the legacy going for as long as they find value in it.
I don't know if Canada has a supreme court to appeal to, but it's wild that the judge was like "Yeah, this ruling creates a legal paradox, but you guys can figure it out later."
I guess these people are getting what they voted for, right? Since I'm guessing many of them had no problems with those land acknowledgements that their institutions were doing all the time.
It's real, dude
Doesn't all land in Vancouver belong to the indians now?
Most people in the US actually get their health insurance from their companies. It probably accounts for 20% or more of the typical person's compensation.
