The stock market is not 'people', but rather composed mostly of institution money and their managers. And due to the short term and relative performance goals, if they want to keep their jobs or fund from withdrawal better escape the stampede before everyone else. As to your question though, people may think the Fed has little room for stimulus this time around.

"Sociologists have long understood that people rely on elite cues to form their opinions. It’s difficult to understand the nuances of every issue, so Americans generally adopt the views of people who share their values. " I guess this will always be the case, that cue being religion, politics or other ideology.

Well couldn't it have been the opposite? Hypothesis: maybe this kind of research has the least marginal return, therefore only the most profitable funds are willing (or able) to invest in it (Bridgewater would invest $10M for 0.1% of improvement while a small fund can't afford that luxury given that 0.1% is fund size independent).

Individually, maybe. Let alone the ethical implication of 'tax them high enough so they don't retire early', artificially lowering the income of a trade would - to your point - constrict *supply of labor. And of course this would lower the total productivity of the industry and society.

And the Ford example, while interesting, doesn't have to do with taxes does it? It has to do with Ford lowering the barrier of entry for factory workers AND increasing productivity rate at the same time. I think we can all agree that that advancement was good for society as a whole?

Am I understanding you correctly? Or is there something I am missing?

Marginal return. If working an extra hour per day will give me $100 pre-tax, tax rate being 10% and 90% will largely determine whether I'd do the extra work, versus spending that hour with family etc. Everyone has different threshold for pay/fun ratios but overall society will be less productive as tax rates go up at least in the static sense (not considering tax money being put into productivity-increasing use).

Isn't this part of not executing the roadmap as planned? Put another way, how do you know if they are on the right trajectory to profitability? How much are they ahead/behind?
