This is like defending early flying machines with flapping wings.

Assuming you don't just starve as a toddler.

You answered your own question - applying to jobs is easier when you don't have to fill out your info every time.

Oh no not my lair! Whatever you do, don't come in here!

If they actually matched up with the routes other people might take, I would do it. I'm always walking around downtown anyways, but I'm a relatively large poor-looking man so I never get hassled.

Difficulty adjustment minimizes profits (rewards - costs), not block rewards. The profit is the problem.

With all due respect, I have read quite a bit and was trying to inform you. We seem to agree on how landlords are parasitic, but not on how being a staker is essentially the same thing.

Yes, it takes some know-how, and they have to set it up, but at the end of the day, that cost is significantly less than the income the rent seeker receives. There is no mechanism to reduce their profits, especially not approaching zero.

In your hypothetical, you're paying the cost of bringing the painted house into production with your labor, not getting paid just for owning something.

A closer comparison would be landlords who claim "being a landlord is a job" because they pay themselves to paint the house (or other property management).

This is called the "Cantillon Effect".

All cops are extramarital offspring because they're sons of bitches and you can't marry a dog.

I'm happy to see this happen. For the last couple months, I've been telling internet people that rational insurers will do this instead of spreading the cost to all drivers. Economics still works!

Everybody who was vandalizing should now redouble their efforts, because the cost is internalized to Tesla owners.
