Inflation is an increase in (printed) money chasing the same amount of goods and services. But consumer spending has dropped despite the stimulus. The lockdown has eliminated many options for discretionary spending and people have been drop

Much worse and possibly catastrophic if the government doesn’t get its shit together on the next stimulus. Now Trump gets to look like a hero with his executive orders, and honestly you can’t blame the administration for taking the easy lay

“Most winning” would be the correct alternative, with the same number of syllables although to me it does feel more concise. As an American, I also hate this made up word.

Slowing down to idle speed and ensuring the intersection is clear absolutely nothing like what’s being addressed in that video.

Almost every automatic nowadays gives you a couple of gears to play with. I always downshift on curves or when braking to a stop. I also drive a hybrid and downshifting guarantees regenerative braking whereas with the pedal it’s easy to ove

Moderate opioid use is possible if you take long enough breaks to avoid physical dependence. That of course requires the self-discipline to say no to the psychological pull. As far as I recall, I felt some mild withdrawals after about 3 con

I think this is more for serious wilderness hiking and camping, not a trek through a national park with designated campgrounds. High quality backpacks and hiking boots are around $200, and tents are easily double that. If you’re going on hi

It’s pretty obvious that the parent post isn’t saying that dance is different in that it’s not inherently competitive, but rather that sports have to be done at a competitive level to match the physical requirements of dance. And I strongl

Here are just a few examples of sports that require continuous attention from your entire body in response to an external stimulus: Snowboarding, downhill skiing, mountain biking, and any martial art. These are from personal experience, I’m

You’re forgetting about coke, heroin and meth, and the massive amount of related violence down the supply chain.

And there is still violence associated with marijuana in CA because about 80% of the market is still underground due to the extreme difficulty of navigating the current regulations. There is plenty of reading material on this.

Sure, you can say behAvioral economics experiments are unreliable. But even if this field did not exist, assuming close to perfect information is simply naive in my opinion. Unless you account for insider trading, which the pessimist in me

That’s assuming perfect information. Behavioral economics begs to differ on that being even close to reality.

This isn’t a typical recession and cannot be compared to anything in the past. The economy has been effectively put on pause. So the dynamics of the duration and recovery will be totally different than anything we’ve seen in the past. I’m o

Speaking as an above average looking person (or so I’m told), I’ve found that here in my 30s, physical attraction has taken a major back seat to the personality factor. Maybe I’m in the minority on this one, but I don’t really think of peop

Nah, that’s not it. I drove for both in a major city in the months before the virus and outside of peak hours Lyft always has substantially longer pickup times. This is based on a few hundred rides for each company. This means that they hav

Are you kidding? The left lane is for passing only. Some places even have signs pointing this out to the clueless. Driving slowly in the left lane causes the fast idiots to tailgate at 80mph and swerve in and out of lanes to pass the slow i

Glycine’s not a filler in this instance. It’s used to aid absorption [1]. Mag glycinate is one of the only worthwhile forms of magnesium for supplementation, unless you’re using it as laxative. The latter being caused by gut irritation from
