There was a freebirds in San Jose that just closed. It was okay. Better than chipotle, and at least they had proper queso. Queso is hard to find in Northern California.

Haha. The same as equally bad or equally good?

Also, on an unrelated note, what’s up with Chinese food in DC? It is remarkably awful. Signed someone who spent five years trying to find decent Chinese food in DC.

Burritos in Northern California suck. SoCal burritos are better. Tex-Mex burritos are the best!!!

Really? What do you mean by that? I'd be interested to know.

You’re from NJ and a Screw fan?

Link?

Everything about this is great.

Analytic philosophy joke. +1

Haha. You got it.

No, but if you set an absurd rate starting at 100 million, it’s still significant. They’d still be paying a lot for everything > 100 million.

I didn’t read it as accusatory.

Well, you left out the ‘when’ clause. I like to give the market a chance to get it right, but I think there’s plenty of evidence that the market can fuck up when left unchecked — e.g., what happened with credit-default swaps was ridiculous: these are essentially insurance contracts, except for some stupid reason you…

Also, I don’t care what the market says. You’re skills are not that valuable. You’re all expendable, and there are thousands of yuppies ready and willing to fill your shoes tomorrow for less pay and with equal competence.

Yeah, I’m a good little capitalist, but I believe the market has excesses, and it’s the government’s job to regulate the market, when the market can’t regulate itself. This is a case where clearly the market isn’t doing a very good job. Best case scenario: public shaming ensues, shareholders realize capital is not…

In the 1980’s, the ratio was like 45. Now, as the article notes, it’s nearly 400. This is not an efficient allocation of capital.

When you say abortions aren’t funded, are you referring to the Hyde amendment? That prevents PP from using federal dollars to pay for abortions, but 32 states and DC have Medicaid programs that do go toward paying abortions (http://www.vox.com/2015/7/22/9013…). As for your point about whose choice it is, I agree.…

I think that captures the attitude of the hardliners and many conservatives, but I don’t think it’s totally fair to the moral question at hand. I would describe my position as pro-choice, but anti-later-term-abortion. More specifically, I am very uncomfortable with abortion after 12 weeks. I don’t think the Left is…

You guys are killing it in solar. I work for an American solar company that’s partnered with a major European utility and is selling in Germany, Netherlands, and UK. Also, pretty interesting how Eon split it’s traditional and renewable utilities.
