I had the understanding that only residential mortgages have fixed rates. Most loans do not have fixed rates, I would have thought that included commercial real estate loans.

It wasn’t that long ago that US companies led this industry. The quotes in the article are pretty condescending in that light. I’d put 50/50 odds on Intel pulling their heads out of their asses in the next few generations even without

What exactly should have been done? I don't see why a "top politician jailed" is something that should happen unless they committed a crime. Trump benefited from Russian meddling and refused to admit that it happened, which i

On my mainstream media outlet of choice, I’m pretty sure there has been a front page headline about the derailment at least half of the days since it occurred. This “quietly” “they don’t want you to know” meme is just bullshit superiority c

Yes, that's the way its intended to be read, the problem is it's really not true. $800 billion sounds like a lot, but the federal government already spends 2x that on Medicare and Medicaid, and there is a lot more healthcare spend

In the case of zoom, they had an explosion in users and demand due to their product being a good solution to some of the problems imposed by the pandemic. What is your suggestion? Companies hire when they have a lot of demand, the fire when

Even if you screw it up the IRS will just charge you interest “penalties” or give you your money back if you overpay (both have happened to me). I’ve straight up forgotten forms and paid maybe a few extra dollars in interest, I wouldn’t eve

I don’t see how a small sample of a small demographic is possibly useful for advertising, even if they sell pharmaceuticals to every single service member it still won’t be a significant amount of money to Google. This is just some research

You’re suffering from confirmation bias just as much as /r/HermanCainAward. There are 8 billion people in the world, there will be plenty of examples of any theory you can come up with.

Even if he could find victims gullible enough to trust him, he’s under too much scrutiny from other less gullible people. Reoffending is impossible.

I think this thread is conflating wasted money with wasted materials. Buying a nice tool once and underutilizing it wastes money. Buying cheap tools multiple times wastes materials.

Your calculations don’t mention energy (J), only power (MW in your post). Fuel supply and cost correlate with energy produced, not power. Parent post suggests that tritium is a fixed cost, more like a construction cost than a fuel cost. We

This is laughably absurd. The last few decades have seen a massive reduction in poverty in China. China has had a huge trade surplus with the US for decades, and probably the rest of the world too. How on earth is that exploitation?

In the US it seems like most problems with big projects are due to responsibility being diffuse across many political groups, and just about anyone with a lawyer has near veto power over almost any project. How is that absolute power? Blind
