I talked with one of the people who's job it is to forecast the effects of cuts. The new administration's response was basically "we don't wanna hear about it and don't want to know, prepare to be reassigned."

Depending on the context, this might mean changing whether you want food, a roof over your head, not to be in jail, not to have someone else dragging your family members off to prison for saying the wrong thing..

The quesadillas have, like most frozen foods in the grocery store, their calories primarily come from highly processed corn/wheat. I suspect that's a big part of the issue.

No contradiction. You can have one system, one small part of that system being no broken windows, where windows are commonly broken. You can have another system with unbroken windows. Repairing the windows and punishing people for breaki

The Mueller Report is about as famous as you can get. That it can get taken down is proof of how messed up the system is; that it was put back up is not proof that, say, a unique, legal work you or I create would be put back up with the sa

A lot of people are willing to do what's convenient to keep from causing a social furor or losing connections and support. Ironically, and sadly, it's having the integrity to be forthright about your (lack of) belief that is da

Business is a lot less stress (they take care of everything for you the entire way; you get what you want, when you want it.) Being bunched up in an uncomfortable position for that long in coach vs being able to lie down is a huge differenc

That doesn't necessarily follow: it may occur as a result of adaptation for another, more beneficial behavior.

I think it's as simple as - twenty years ago, there was no CSP/CSR, Amex was just a different experience. People's views/frame gets ingrained deeply. Younger people go Chase, in my experience.

Before the change, I sometimes got responses and even a first message or two on OKCupid (!). Since the change, nothing, zilch on the site.

I can absolutely get euphoria while pushing myself to the limit (I don't bike or wear Lycra, though.) I don't know if I have the free energy to smile in those moments...

Sounds like it's not really worth sleeping during summer above the Arctic Circle, then.

I agree with your greater point, but your auto collision example is flawed. If you say half of drivers are not at fault, it's only because we assume only one person can be at fault. Most collisions involve more than one mistake, and i

This is true, if you think in terms of "behavior required to win in a fight against someone who ambushes you with intent to kill." Action beats reaction. And there's no way to maintain both your behavior and the situation o

That's not the root cause. The root cause is that if the police show up they might open fire and kill someone. There are always going to be reasons for the police (or SWAT) to show up, especially with the war on drugs. And with the c

If Uber says 5 minutes, it might be 7, or even possibly 15 if things go very, very wrong. Heck, if it's gonna be 15 you know this ahead of time because you can see the driver making wrong turns. If you call a taxi service, and they sa

Deduction, not credit. Deductions aren't nothing, but they're just a percentage. Good if you're already going to spend the money, or if it's close. But spending a dollar to save a fraction of one can bite you.

From my perspective the fake "Bernie Bernstein" calls claiming to be from the WP, the disproven claims of an audio tape of WP reporters offering 1000$(sp), the claims that Olde Hickory House didn't exist at the address which

That's a subcategory of one of the major arguments about CO2 being bad for as long as I can remember. Namely: the earth will do absolutely fine with rising CO2, but the ecosystem as we know it in the form we rely on will go through a

But the fighting on steps 1-5 was so intense, every step of the way, and the character assassination against the scientists who advocated for them so consistent - I've lost a lot of respect for those responsible, including people close

The story where someone spent a week getting their crime reported only to have the local police chief who was trying to help them murdered within weeks takes the cake. And the hotel refuses to help.

Well, yes, but that's not the point being made: the stock market aggressively prices in expectations ahead of time to avoid losing money. The reason the stock goes down is because the gain is already priced in!

Agree. People will spend $1000 (or more) for relatively minor features on their cars. A phone is with you 24/7 - it's less like a tool, or even a digital assistant, and more like a cybernetic implant. The amazing thing isn'

I don't think you can multiply costs like that. The expenses of maintaining the logistics for that many planes would be exorbitant, and I believe the unit costs of modern aircraft would be far lower if we made more of them.
