Wishful thinking. They've eliminated anyone who disagrees with them, and that includes most people with actual finance experience. They've been waiting for the second coming off a short squeeze for years

No, nor does having a huge member entitle you to strut naked. The question reeks of insecurity

It isn't that hard to make good stuff. The Scottish distilleries are expanding massively, and as long as you can get barrels and decent weather, it is just aged distilled beer.

What I don't understand is why you can't require the holder of the reservation to show up or lose it. Destroys the incentive to resell it

You can get absolutely blotto trying all the variations within a few blocks of the Capitol, especially on state Street. Can't think of another state where the legislators have so many opportunities to ahem do research on their beverage

There's no shortage now. A Korean company now makes it, and it is still great. But if you can't find any, I have a stick on my desk

He is a utilitarian. 20 years vs 30 in jail doesn't matter because he'll kill himself, or at least that's what he currently thinks. But a chance at zero is super valuable, so he's buying vol

The issue is that Harvard students are or should be capable of mastering huge quantities of academic work at a far more abstract level than at less competitive admissions universities. Giving an A for mastery of an average amount of work v

No they don't. The defense attorneys likely know it better actually (I know one). But if the guy who wrote it actually walks a prosecutor through it, it isn't that complicated

NYC has applied draconian rules on tenancies, and crazy restrictions on hotel construction. These units are not coming back, because the owners risk losing too much money. We'll just have knockoff Airbnb copies which will be worse for

Anti discrimination laws are a license for unscrupulous people to sue with basically no consequences. It is basically extortion; a stray comment can trigger a lawsuit by a contingency lawyer who usually makes more than the plaintiff

You've had extremely high inflation over the past 3 years, along with a shortage of used cars. I had one totaled during peak insanity and got 7% more than I bought it for (used) 6 years earlier. But real (inflation adjusted) deprec

Typically exams are 2 full professors and maybe one asst prof. That asst prof will be 3-4 years in, plus 4-5 years of grad school + often a postdoc. And that asst prof will, on average, be better than the graduate student.

First of all, nobody ever passed these exams with flying colors unless the examiners wanted that to happen or were having a bad day. Assume that there are three full professors testing you, and they have an average of 20 years each of post

16 million people in a country smaller than New Jersey that is arid, has limited water, etc seems like a lot. Population growth rates often slow down when young people are crammed into apartments even if they are very religious. Curious if

The issue is that profits are highly cyclical, and the automakers are coming off some of their best years ever due to circumstances that are extremely unlikely to repeat. Locking those wages in is a great way to cause the next crisis.

Pretty good gig: get unsustainable pay and pensions during good times. Funnel a bunch of it into politics. Get pensions guaranteed and bailed out in bad times. Been this way since the 60s

Between this and much higher marginal tax rates, a lot of them may just stop working so hard.

It seems that HIPAA has become more of a hindrance than a help. You can't easily book an appointment, every provider has their own interface, most of which look pre 2005, you can't send a message without 2FA in a special 'se

Yes, somewhat for fun and somewhat for work. There are online cobol fiddle environments that can help you. Data is stored in something like a c Union on a buffer, and the programming style is pre-procedural, sort of like a very easy assembl
