Deadweight Loss- pretty simple term for money lost by either the manufacturer or the consumer from the increased cost relative to the value of the item. That’s aside from the fact its highly inflationary from lower imports causing supply shocks. NO PRODUCER PAYS THIS!!!

Tangent incoming... Google is being sued for reposting articles from news outlets without paying the source. Jalopnik plays the same game most days by just cut & pasting (with citation) citing Fair Use.

It’s Snowpiercer...

Musk lives for the headlines and isn’t smart enough to do the actual work. He and WeePee Barnum only offer tweets or Castro level speeches with nothing behind them.

Muck isn’t the majority owner of Starlink... 43% currently with the rest held by 76 Institutional Funds and 10 Equity Investors. (voting control on the other hand is Musk’s at 78.3%!)

Greg Biffle was tweeting about having a few pallets of equipment and power banks to distribute, but I have no idea how far that gets anyone.

If you’re talking about “Captain Dan”, Tampa’s Mayor announced they took him to a shelter earlier today after some serious public outcry.

Hell, when the City Dock in Annapolis floods out, which is more often than you would think, the city opens up the parking structures for people. They even try to do this during the winter to keep the roads empty to clear them faster.

The building codes changed for residential after Andrew blew through in ‘92.

Can attest to construction delays related to Covid. Started a re-model project of the kitchen in February and little things have STILL been delayed. (They made a mistake with the install of the cabinets and required entirely new facia to be ordered. Two months to turn the order around.) Everything’s fine, not…

I’ll add...

71 MPH - it’s right there in the beginning of dumbass’s video. Wouldn’t call that “slow speed”!

Neither would have been seen as ideal 13 yrs ago. But someone making a $545k purchase probably has some better advice than normal. Hell, might have been able to do both without a second thought.

Same amount invested in

Having driven mine into 3 1/2 feet of water and left there for about 30 minutes while we tried to pull my idiot cousin’s Wrangler after he beached it on some tree, the door seals held just fine.

The baseline assumption is that any Law Enforcement Officer is inherently corrupt and potentially a murderer in disguise. It’s cheap (barely)journalism.

CCP also doubled their incentives for people trading in ICE for EV... Tesla was a major recipient and helped with their boosted deliveries.

No clue how this is so hard... My Rivian R1T charges just fine.

Biden could go Taft/Hartley and force an 80 day cool-off period, but that only gets you work done at a snails pace. No point right before an election...

When you get caught out with your side-piece at a movie?
