That is purely a political problem, not an economic one. The economics are forehead-slap obvious.

I can imagine a site like Pinterest has quite a lot of fascinating data for a researcher to work with.

All these locations are major cities, bright blue on the electoral map (or at least purple) and cosmopolitan. Get your FUD out of here - the South isn't a bunch of hicks and white supremacists.

You aren't saving those $.10 per mile, you're converting them to a different operating cost per mile, with fuel, maintenance, crew, and so on. Any well thought out cost benefit analysis says 64 billion is absolutely unreasonable

There's no contradiction. You show that what it converges to satisfies Navier-Stokes. (Maybe there's another Navier-Stokes solution with the same initial conditions, maybe it's unique, doesn't matter!)

The notion that sexual orientation could be genetically selected for at birth is science fiction. We know for a fact that no one gene or set of genes causes homosexuality - it's "biopsychosocial" in nature.

Both of them are bad, restrictions on new development are even worse. It's a huge, huge mess.

1) These proposals are good and certainly better than nothing. They'll probably be impossible to pass because they're so radical. Tinkering around the edges is the best you can hope for. In effective politics your goals need to be

You really hit the nail on the head describing the uses of these sites, lol

Now that's a bit conspiratorial. Probably a majority of people searching for "retrovirus" clicked the Wikipedia article link. Google figured this out, and started listing it first. Nothing beyond Wikipedia fulfilling its role

Okay, the way I've stated it applies equally well to all taxes and doesn't specify why the estate tax is especially bad. How about this: it's a form of multiple taxation. You pay income taxes when you earn the money. You pay

1) It's your money. You should be free to decide what to do with it. 2) If you can't decide what to do with your money, you have less incentive to work hard for it. 3) If your choice is either to spend your money frivolously or ha

Technically it's not impersonation. The trolls are creating fake personae, but not stealing anyone's identity.

1) We try to encourage saving and investment by collecting VAT instead of taxing capital gains. It's the exact same logic and perfectly consistent. 2) Sales/excise/VAT taxes are still collected whether it's the parent or

How about this: stop hiring new conductors and allow the ones currently working to continue as long as their union rules require.

You're right that blight and economic stagnation led to the crime wave of the 80s. But careless destructive regulation that harms the city's economy is the fastest way to get straight back there.

> It's financial wizardry that both the banks and fed made money, where does their profit come from? From an accounting standpoint it's very simple. Asset prices collapsed during the crisis. The Fed held onto them. Asset prices

To me it just seems like they're identifying extraverted people and finding they're happier. No surprise, that's been known for decades.

The damaging effects of modern landfills are so low as to be effectively negligible.

What's needed is a carbon tax. Yes this will make meat (among other things) more expensive, but it is generally offset by the tax savings.

I can assure you that like all academics, economists are thoroughly reliant on the internet.

It's a joke. The implication is that Bash was already outdated in the 90s, so it's long past time for something new.

It's likely that they'll sell their assets to a buyer intending to continue the line of business. (Maybe under another brand name.)

Your apparent mental prowesses will fail to impress those who find it easy to do the same. I have met my share of college students and professors who excel at dropping the name of a few philosophers, at using words only 1% of the populatio

Whoa there, acknowledging that the FCC might not be purely an agent of corporate propaganda and might actually be stating what it believes is in everyone's best interest? Watch out for the downvote brigade!
