(d) Joe Biden is desperately in need of some crisis. He is facing a Republican Congress which is going to accuse him of working with his son to secure their financial future through shady corrupt deals in China and Ukraine.

What did they do to Tibet? The CIA tried to establish an independent Tibet so the US could have bases there, and later engaged in “Free Tibet” rhetoric meaning US weapons in Tibet, and China went to great expense to build a railroad to Lha

From 1990-2005 fuel taxes generated a surplus in the US. In virtually every other developed country, vehicle and fuel taxes are vastly higher than spending on roads. Where is this bad news? I think fuel taxes should be higher in the US fo

No one thinks it is a measure of self-worth, but an approximation of the value the work creates for others. Some people do feel having the marketplace value their labor and effort provides a sense of self-worth. Wanting to feel valued by

I do. The federal government should be break even on roads through fuel taxes. Break even on airline ticket fees. At various times both have been true. Rail is horrendously subsidized to the tune of 20 cents per passenger mile. That i

It is everyone he knew relevant to proving his innocence. Is he allowed a defense at all, or should this just be done Chinese style?

by jcampbell1 4y ago
This seems like a reach by the government. He is currently innocent and has the right to prepare a defense. Claiming that everyone other than immediate family is a potential witness seems like a stretch, the kind that ends up with a mistr

Mental health metrics have been declining for adolescents, and things like global warming anxiety and gender dysphoria are increasing in a way that some think is socially mediated and counter productive.

> the renewables actually generated more power than originally forecasted. They were forecasted to produce 6% and actually made 8%, vs 41% from the prior week. You can’t blame renewables in this case, but you aren’t presenting facts in

by jcampbell1 4y ago
I agree with most of what you say, but renewables can’t be counted on, so they can never be blamed. This is tautologically true and yet a meaningless point. If a hospital loses power to lifesaving equipment, 100% of the time it is due to a

The irony is that this whole mess is caused by "sender pays" EU style regulations. Be careful what you wish for.

You are posing questions to the AI that only economists ever ask. You think you are instructing to it to reason “as a libertarian”, but you are actually using such economics lingo that the AI is regurgitating via “based on economist descri

By posing research questions, you get research conclusions from the same field of study. The whole thing is not a model of human thinking in the text world, but rather a model of economic research papers.

The potential hole in your thinking is the end of your paper where you advise how to get good answers: ask questions in an economist phd style! This presents a problem left unaddressed.

Pie and slice are units of measurement for the concept pizza. Much like you don’t order “two pastas” saying “two pizzas” sounds stupid to people in the parts of US famous for pizza. Bread works the same way, it comes in loaves and slices.

Ale yeast and lager yeast are the two different types of beer yeasts. There are a million lines of both, but ale yeast ferments in about a week at 70f and produces esters which have a fruity odor. Lager yeast operates at roughly 55f and t

Tank space and cooling costs the big boys very little because insulated factories and tanks the volume increases with the cube and the cost increases with the square. This is why lagers are made cheaply industrially, and ales can be made in

Craft lagers are out numbered 15:1 by ales because of the tank space and cooling required. The esterification reactions of ale yeasts are inherent to ales and the brewing temperature. All Ales smell fruity. This is really basic beer know

Some people actually like lagers and don’t want that fruity taste and smell that all ales have. Lagers are much more expensive to brew in terms of time and equipment and benefit from industrial scale. It is perfectly fine that I enjoy crisp
