#incent
So we shouldn’t incent people to donate then? Hospitals hire administrators that go out to find these donors for a reason. It’s because the government can’t afford to fund renovations, new builds, state of the art machinery. My daughter spent her childhood at BCCH and donors made all the difference.

Important story about problem gambling.

The gambling industry loves you and will incent you to keep going.
Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story.

For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards.

Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

And with 80% market rate you’ll get lots of MR units they can move into. Meanwhile, a 100% MR project on waterfront does nothing to incent rehab of old housing or new unsubsidized housing in other n-hoods. Indeed, it can even cannabalize n-hood markets creating more vacants. Just look at Baltimore.

Democratic politics need not incent unevenly weighting the social welfare function, motivating policies favouring the political base, despite what we so often see. I won't defend a one-party state here, and instead observe governing in the national interest means governing without fear nor favour.

You can incent T•••• to rat by threatening him with prison or death, otherwise “cooperating’s for suckers”
the thing is he defects purely for the love of the game. even when his outcome is better when he cooperates in all circumstances, he defects. you simply cannot incentivize him to cooperate no matter what you do

So!

If we’re talking about the future of TOAs once the market re-adjusts, I’d like to see:

1. BC adopt a simpler single stair code option like Vancouver’s and take away to “opt out” wiggle room

2. Require or incent cities to allow a spectrum of housing options - including small lot designs

Maybe IHT would be more popular if we focused on the massive tax advantaged programmes that incent savings for "retirement" as a *temporary* benefit.

Those who die with significant savings conveniently ignore all the taxes they dodged along the way. Their heirs then view […]
