So its an effective tax.

No. That is not how the market works.

That is not how the free market works

Not part of the puzzle unless the airports are pricing space as an effective tax on transportation. Otherwise efficiency can still be achieved by a price cap; just as the increased rents gets passed on into increased prices for goods, so does reduced prices for goods gets transferred into decreased rents. Rents are…

How could there possibly be a question of tax? You bought a capital asset. You sold a capital asset for more than it was worth. You owe tax on the difference.(minus capital losses)

Yea. I said as much when people were suggesting the Mariners pick up Trumbo. Trumbo is going to make only 1.5M less than Nelson Cruz. Who put up 5.0 oWAR with -1.5 dWAR. And he only played a minute in the outfield because the rest of our fielders where shit too. 

I mean. I don’t know what to say. Dean is wrong. Sherman got the ball and that makes it unable to be roughing the kicker. Just like quarterbacks throwing the ball kickers do not receive blanket protection until they have kicked the ball. And if you’re close enough to make a play you cannot get a roughing call unless…

No. He jumps over the path of the ball.... where it would be if it were kicked. That is how they teach you to block field goals because it puts the most mass in front of the kick for the most time.

Baez is great fun to watch. But Robinson Cano is still the best tagger in baseball. Cano’s glove is never waiting for the ball, but moving towards the tag as he catches it. Baez is flashy, but Cano is majestic.

The “don’t break your fingers” hold is not about where on the bat you hold it but how you hold it. Where you hold it will always be the center of gravity on the bat, so you can pivot easily with the other hand, and put the ball where you want it to go. The how is by holding it between your forefinger and thumb like…

Duopoly equilibrium is still lower profits than monopoly equilibrium. And may include money spent to counter the secondary parties.

Consistently applied rules are rules that are less likely to be abused.

Yes. Additionally the rear end of the Volvo is probably unusually strong as there have been models with rear facing seats there (Such having a rear crumple zone would kill them)

The entire flow chart is messed up. For instance “fly ball/used glove yes/no” basically goes to the same place. Except that if you didn’t use a glove, are under 13, your ticket is worth more than 75 and you won the ticket in a raffle then you get to keep the ball. But if you did use a glove, are under 13, your ticket…

Don’t put the clutch in when you’re off the gas. Since the car is no longer receiving enough gas to power the rotation the expansion phase of the cycle will create a vacuum, slowing the rotation of the engine and your wheels. You do not need to downshift, this will happen at any RPM above idle. Downshifting will…
