Yeah but one of the reasons why stuff isn’t affordable is because regulations are designed around edge cases without factoring the cost sufficiently.

I spend about 10/ a week on coffee for 2. Drip brew so seems low for latte folks. Starbucks latte is like 6$ now or something

It’s the details that get you. Things like door designs visibility, control expectations.

No they aren’t. Airplanes like boats are certified in such a way that the regulations assume that all future airplanes will look like past airplanes. As such any deviation from that standard form is super expensive because you need to have

So they stole 10 billion. It’s always a good deal to invest other people’s money into risky bets then take all the profit. If you lose you stick them with the losses. A lot of people should go to jail but probably won’t.

I mean that’s the worst of both worlds. You get to be a remote employee as in you don’t sit with your team but you still have to commute to an office

Yeah the exchanges are collapsing because They all held positions and went exchanges. Although at some point they collapse for counter party risk

Probably short term high yield bonds. You’ll need to assume more risk to get that extra 1-2%. CD and treasury is 0 risk so if you want more that you need to assume risk premium.

6% is easy when treasuries yield 4.5. Nominally that’s 0 with inflation

Why not just make it so expensive to build that nobody will bother. Wa state has so much energy is not really a problem at all

I think a modern cartel does not need fully block competition to be successful merely slow down competitors and put up lots of road blocks such that new entrants can’t compete on cost. Many industries in the USA are quasi cartels, 2-5 compa

The accrediting system is a cartel of sorts. It keeps supply low by keeping competition low. It’s not a perfect cartel but none of our modern ones are. They just seem to capture large chunks of the market enough so that most people are for

People can only effectively make children from age 14-45. If modern society doesn’t allow folks to get into a life situation where they can do that before mid/late 30s that doesn’t leave a lot of time

That’s assuming that we will ever see 0-2% interest rates again. Where we are right now is right in line with historic norms and they will probably hit a lot higher. People are already getting squeezed in other areas I don’t see how they ar

The 11 is a solid phone but 420$ for it used is a lot. The XR is probably just fine too if it’s cheaper
