Saw an old white dude do this last week from my apartment window. He was trying to parallel park his BMW 3 series (of course) and an Uber driver went to pass him probably because he was taking his sweet ass time. Anyway, they both got stuck because there was traffic in front and behind them, and white dude decided he…

Yeah, pre-marriage counseling made this a reality for us. Like, what if one of us lost a job? Would that person just be shit out of luck? Of course not! But the way we had been handling finances implied they would be. Same with retirement, or if one of us wanted to leave work to raise a kid. Also, the situations in…
Maybe he also just misread Diggs’ path and thought he was heading more toward the sideline than he was. Certainly every single person watching, including Vikings coaches and Keenum, expected Diggs to be going for the sideline. So the path Williams is running is to the sideline but just slightly ahead of Diggs (run to…
She installed it on her own computer that I guess he used, and then she sold it to him, at which point she had no access to the spyware....what’s the problem again?
Lol, I have a friend who “cold stored” a bunch of gold coins in a safe in his house. Then there was a break in and someone stole his safe and his gold coins. And guess how much insurance pays for gold coins? Nothing. The same amount you’ll get when that USB stick fails to load or the dog eats it.
This would actually benefit the economy though, in a way that sitting on liquid cash is not.
Also, I think you underestimate how difficult it is to quickly and discretely move large sums of money.
1) It’s not “gone.” Spending gives utility. It gets turned into durable and consumption goods that households use. It may end up right back in the pockets of the millionaires even! But not after helping out poor people while they have it.
2) The anticipation question is a different thing altogether that has nothing to…
How dare people go somewhere and enjoy themselves.
Looking at how the state/local parties have been decimated under BHO’s watch, and how Clinton couldn’t defeat the least popular president ever, I’ll help by asking they both be put on the “Do Not Call” list.
Not to take away from any of BHO’s accomplishments, but he does in fact share some of the blame for how his…
Few talk about this.
His eyes sure are close together, aren’t they?
Yeah, they definitely offer better than a lot of other places. But that relative improvement doesn’t necessarily make it good. For one, it could simply be a competitive strategy to obtain higher quality workers. Further, offering pay and benefits just above the minimum helps you lock workers in due to things like last…
Where are you going with this thought?
Yup, government intervention is never an efficient or cost-saving endeavor. Just ask Ronald Coase.
What you are talking about is whether a firm can maintain profits indefinitely. Most markets outside of commodities markets have both competition and monopoly/monopsony power. One does not exclude the other. Less monopoly power means the market may price things closer to the perfectly competitive case, and that…
But you surely recognize that if a company has the ability to name the price at which they will buy labor they have monopsony power? Just like if a company has some ability to set the price at which they will supply a good they have some monopoly power? And we observe Uber setting the price at which it will buy labor…
Ummm, how does Uber break monopsony power when the purchase of the ride and its pricing has to be filtered through Uber, who can change that price for Uber drivers without any renegotiation? Uber has great market share and can set the price it wants to pay its drivers at will by changing the pricing algorithm or doing…
Allow me to direct your attention to the protests the US has held in Afghanistan and Iraq. Pretty violent protests, too.
