Don’t think that’s true. If the median man and woman went to the bar for the purpose of having sex that night the woman would be way more successful. For most men if they are single and a reasonable attractive woman they have never met befo

I should not have said the left, but some on the extreme left that is gaining influence quickly or something like that. As far as I understand it the civil rights movement had two strains, MLK had a liberal version and there was a Marxist i

I think you are putting a lot of emphasis on the word now and assuming I’ma lot younger than you. Anyway, can they feed fight inflation and avoid a recession? Who knows but it seems if they have to choose they are choosing a recession. A st

I don’t disagree with you, merely said that for some reason it was possible to make a cheaper and quicker HIV test that has a high false positive and a low false negative. I have myself tested positive twice without actually being positive

Let’s separate the two first. Clearly we can move the start date for recession by changing interest rates and pumping money into the economy. I think you agree on this? If so that would mess with predictions which is what I said. Can recess

The U.S. never had a one China policy. It officially acknowledges that China has a one China policy. It might sound the same, but it is not. Which it why it also has the policy to sell Taiwan weapons to defend itself, and sometimes the poli

Perhaps, not sure if there is wide agreement on that. Anyway, preventing and postponing both messes with predictions.

I’m saying we can prevent them (or perhaps as you are alluding to make a bigger one in the future instead), not that we should. Clearly the last years have shown that low rates, tax cuts and helicopter money does at least postpone recession

What? This is a created recession as I see it. If we wanted to avoid this recession we would reduce the loan rate and increase the money supply. Not saying that would be smart.

I feel that is a really bad example. I was an adult at the time and it was really clear back at the time that the Iraqi wmd was made up allegations, or at least the evidence we got to see was not worth anything.

One thing that make that statement less impactful is that we now have tools to prevent recessions. So maybe in those five a recession were coming but correct action was taken and it was all good.

Mob wisdom and informed people betting with their money are two different things. Not saying the matter is 100% accurate, but better than what is normally called mob wisdom.

Medical tests are often designed that way. For example cheap/quick hiv tests have a low false negative and a high false positive. They are still useful, you filter out most people safely and the ones with a positive test can take a mor

I'm honestly not sure if you are joking or not. In case you are not, the problem with house buying is not to find out who owns it, but trying to address the value and condition etc. And that you have to spend that 1 million in one go i

Right, he declined to do more due diligence after having done none. Looking at SEC filings is not doing due diligence. It is also not statements Twitter made as part of the deal. Shareholders can only sue Twitter if those facts are materia

Maybe, I think he doesn't want to buy at all. With TSLA down almost 50% since he proposed to buy it based on loans against his stocks it would be very expensive for him at any price now. But I mean who knows, your guess is as good as m

But Elon also has a not given a fuck in the past and gotten away with it. My guess is he will get away with it again, but then are we really living in a society with equal laws for everyone?

It's not a mystery. All tech stocks, including Twitter and Tesla, have teamed after Elon's offer. So now he doesn't want to buy it at all, or not for this price. So he is trying to find an excuse.

And also that Elon clearly no longer wants to buy Twitter,at least for the price he proposed, so this is just him trying to find a way out. This is going to end horribly for Twitter and some sort of slapp on the wrist for Elon.

He declined his right to do any due diligence so they couldn't misrepresent anything since they didn't provide anything. Also they didn't want him to buy and did their best to get him to not do that.

Sure they can choose that but it comes with tradeoffs. It seems in hindsight those tradeoffs were a little bit less appealing.
