    How does the Economy Work? Economics Unleashed: Powering Your Business and the World

    CHAT 
    I'll agree that the 2008 response was effective in terms on softening the economic blow and encouraging a quick bounce-back. But this occurred at the cost of SIGNIFICANT moral hazard, corruption, and cronyism payouts. We did not have effective reforms. The vast majority of those who got rich...

    2 hours of theory? That's a lot more than basic safety. What did it cover?

    Shoes off in my house, but I'm more puzzled by people wearing their slippers out. Not just in the yard to check the mail, but shopping and what not.

    Should I buy this Business?

    INVESTING QUESTION 
    Don't price in any growth potential. That's all potential upside, and while it may be the main reason to give it a shot, current value is based on how the business has actually been doing. And businesses absolutely can be worth less than 0. It can be a bad deal even if they're giving it away...

    It is a transformative revolution, and much bigger than transportation. Revolutions are always disruptive. The Agricultural, Industrial, Technological, and Information revolutions were all very disruptive and made many jobs obsolete. But they absolutely provided major increases on overall...

    Should I buy this Business?

    INVESTING QUESTION 
    Sellers always try to add them together, but it's really an either/or. Pour over the financials and make sure they make sense. 1x seems about right, depending on how much work you'll need to put in. Make sure it'll be worth your time and you aren't buying a low-paying job.

    Just like most truly beautiful women don't try to look hot. It brings too much unwanted attention when you're already getting more than you want.

    Seems like the solution is to not radicalize and program the average idiot citizen. "Regulating the tools, not the people" policies has lead to the UK putting in extreme knife controls to the point where it's hard to buy a basic kitchen knife. And they still had 50,000 stabbings last year. AI...

    Most of this simply comes down to the science. Bioelectric impedance analysis correlates with body fat percentage but has poor predictive value. It simply isn't a precise method of measurement. The best ones take reading through both the feet and the hands. Using just feet or just hands...

    Facts. It's a well-proven, basic economic principle that if something costs more/pays less people will consume/do it less, and if its cheaper/pays more people will consume more/do it more. It's silly that this is controversial. People like to say alcohol prohibition "didn't work," but if you...

    This. Laws and regulations have created many imbalanced systems. Government is simply too slow to respond to new information, and laws tend to drastically shut down information gathering. We have MANY "lifestyle" ills in our society. Bad food is just one of them.

    @MJ DeMarco please remove if this is too political. I know it's pushing it but I want to highlight how much impact just a few smart, motivated people can have when they "follow the money." SO MUCH business success comes down to effectively "following the money," as you point out in TMFL. People...

    "95% of all new businesses fail!" Why it is utter BS.

    ASSERTION 
    Good point. Should also add that in most cases these stats define "fail" as "close down." Many businesses open, make good money, and then shut down.
