I have to agree. All IBM is asking for is to hit certain numbers. Now, those numbers might be short sighted and unrealistic, but in my experience the operational decisions were still coming from inside Red Hat, at least through the middle o

I don't think you intended economic output as a strawman, but it seems like everyone replying to you turned it into one. There are an awful lot of public health measures not being taken that would have little to no impact on economic o

Is there a corollary fallacy for people who wait seemingly forever to reach the perfect and then give up and and call it done? The Duke Nukem Forever fallacy, maybe?

The gains are not wiped out, they're just not liquid. We bought our first house about seven years ago and are about to sell it. The house appreciated almost 75% over that span of time. We bought a new house in the same price range. I&#
