Discussion on Tax Policy

Details Tax policy plays a crucial role in shaping the U.S. economy, influencing everything from government revenue to income distribution and business growth. But how well does the current system serve the country? This discussion will analyze federal and state tax structures, debates over progressive and flat taxation, corporate tax rates, and proposed reforms. We’ll examine the economic and social impacts of taxation and consider potential changes to create a fairer and more effective system. Join us for an in-depth conversation on one of the most important aspects of economic policy.

Wealth and Income Inequality Discussion

Details Is wealth and income inequality a necessary driver of innovation and progress, or does it erode the foundation of a fair and just society? Join us for a thought-provoking discussion exploring the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to inequality both in the United States and globally. We'll examine how economic systems, policies, and historical contexts have shaped disparities in wealth distribution, and consider perspectives from experts, activists, and policymakers. Whether you're curious about the impact of inequality on society, want to discuss strategies for creating a more equitable world, or wish to debate whether inequality is ultimately good or bad for society, this meetup offers a platform for engaging dialogue and diverse viewpoints.

Artifical Intelligence and its Impact on Society

In this discussion we will talk about the explosion of generative AI technologies. Have they impacted your life? What are they useful for and how are they lacking. Then, we will discuss where we think AI is going in the near future and the long term. Will it lead to a techno-utopia or human extinction?

Discussion: Should you have Kids?

Topics to discuss One of the biggest and non reversible decisions we make in life is whether or not to have children. Historically, this was not a decision at all but an assumption and a societal necessity. However today in most western countries, every adult has a decision of whether or not to be childless. Each individual can compare the pros and cons and come to their own decision. Will having children increase your happiness? Will it make your life miserable?
