- DangitBobby 1y agoIt's a good question. But still... > Two economists are walking down the street. One of them says “Look, there’s a twenty-dollar bill on the sidewalk!” The other economist says “No there’s not. If there was, someone would have picked it up already.”
- nyeah 1y agoYeah, valid point.
- Dylan16807 1y agoIf it's a relatively busy sidewalk and you know the object has been there for several hours, that gets to be a pretty good argument.
- DangitBobby 1y agoIn this case, the economics of solar has been changing rapidly in recent years, so the caveat won't apply. Worst case, you can bend over and get a closer look.
