Even simpler than that, but requires people to do two things at a specific period of time (2017-2018) that they weren’t doing: know economics and pay attention to what Congress was actually doing aside from kissing Trump’s ass.

Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress passed a massive tax cut bill in 2017 that…

It wasn’t the stimulus. Prices were held down during the pandemic because people weren’t spending for a variety of reasons. They had less things to spend on, less money, and were feeling very insecure about their finances since so many of them were not working. They weren’t driving, so not buying gas. Not traveling or…

Because in aggregate it was far more than $1,200 ... and legitimate pandemic purposes. Wasn’t it close to 5 trillion?

I’d imagine in most major cities, these would be stolen right off the pole within a week.

So they’re gonna blow this one up, too.

Supply and demand is how it works—be an Adam Smith disciple.

I don’t even know who that is

What technologies will we utilize in 100 years?

I don’t remember calling them tornados, but we called AWD donuts cyclones.

Youtube should continue to let me watch videos ad-free and free of charge, because I’m special and entitled to free stuff.

They can start by wearing their fucking seatbelts. How many more of these incidents are we going to have before people start to understand the importance of being buckled up when seated? There were 71 injuries resulting from this incident; a whole lot of them serious spinal injuries. There weren't 71 people looking to…

They use literal slaves for every fucking thing they build. I guess you dont own any TV’s in your house. Do you have Plex? What do youi watch it off of because if it is Amazon fire stick, apple tv, chromecast, Roku? Is your media server have a seagate or western digital HDD? Is your NAS synology, or netgear, or Nvidia?…

Exactly what I said in numerous replies to the original article after his passing.

Why would Boeing, for a lawsuit filed in 2017, request numerous depositions from Barnett that are the legal equivalent of in-court testimony, compel him to answer questions via depositions and other elements of discovery during that…

Serious question: what’s the point of killing a whistleblower AFTER they have blown the whistle, AFTER they have filed lawsuits?

Fixed the headline for you

This isn’t anything new. Students have been able to do it with apps like Photomath and Mathway (to name 2) since 2020 (when students had to work at home). To be upset about it or worried about it 4 years after just shows that you are not involved in education. 4 years ago, a 9th grader was in 5th grade online for…

I don’t think there’s really much consumer value in robotaxis. All it’s doing is saving the company managing them overhead on paying employees (savings which I’m sure would only be passed onto consumers long enough to drive competitors out of business before jacking the rates up so the shareholders don’t suffer). But…

Maybe because Millennials know how to do their jobs, like edit headlines?

737-300. This is potentially a 40-year-old airplane, being operated in a nation that has a “not-yet-rated” classification in the FAA’s International Aviation Assessment Program. Senegal’s ratings for airworthiness, licensing, and operations, fall below the global average ratings from the Universal Safety Oversight…
