And what about the second order effect of nobody wanting to do billions of dollars worth of research and trials for the slim possibility of hitting a safe and effective drug, only to have exclusivity for 3 years?

Yes. I think the canonical fear that there would be nuclear power plants next to daycares is nonsense and that private developers acting in their own interests would manage to identify market demand, experiment in fulfilling that demand, an

> If they’re asking for zoning changes, there should be room for negotiation on nearby improvements. The problem is that in many areas (of Canada at least), zoning bylaws are horribly outdated and inconsistent with municipal priorities.

I am Canadian so haven’t followed this decision, but I 100% support banning municipal governments from funding pet projects with fees on developers. It’s a major component of any project’s cost structure and absolutely flows through to the

What you call usury is also a government caused problem. It’s almost like 30+ year amortizations and ultra low interest rates… weren’t good for affordability. But now everyone but the government itself is the cause of this issue (in the gov

This is my point above 100%. The government has been the sole source of these problems and now is desperate to solve them, steamrolling people without compensation. The same, in my opinion, with inflation. Inflation has been caused by gover

I am not actually intending to be sarcastic at all - I think the entire industry is morally bankrupt. I am a real estate developer (re-developer actually - specializing in heritage buildings and other complicated adaptive reuse projects), s

I’d love to see an economist tease apart the contribution of industry consolidation to inflation and wage suppression.

I agree. My issue with LLMs is that it isn’t clear when it is hallucinating versus when it isn’t.

I find marijuana to be the fun of alcohol without the impacts you mention.

What about all the other negative impacts though - like liver impact and blood pressure. Isn’t it better to just moderate your drinking rather than drinking to excess and then dialing back the feel of it with broccoli?

I am not sure the relevance of your point. Are you suggesting that we have imported as many family docs as we have non-family docs on a per capita basis to keep the ratios the same? If not, what’s your point?

My point is that a 4% increase in numbers on a scale where zero does not equate tot he total absence is not actually 4% hotter.

What’s the base idea in your mind? Shorting more than 100% of a share’s float seems to put hedge funds at extreme risk of a squeeze, no?

Right, but I think you are making my point. Despite the boomers dominating for decades, we’ve seen the GOP swing far right relative to the 70s/80s. For example, Nixon massively expanded the Clean Air Act and enacted the Clean Water Act

Is there actual evidence of this occurring or is it just a hypothesis? I can’t recall offhand significant policy changes to capture voting demographics.
