Re: Biden’s Scorecard

Except when I want a crappy end-table made in China that's cheap but will fall apart in a couple of years, earlier than when kalm deems an end table should fall apart. :rofl: I don't think kalm understands the invisible hand. Or maybe he can explain how the invisible hand is compatible with an econ...

Say you what you want about vile Donald but on the spread of the anti Israel protests, he’s right on the money! "He's got the wrong words. He doesn't know who he's backing. And it's a mess. And if this were me, they'd be after me, they'd be after me so much, but they're trying to get him a pas...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
My point exactly. And in the broader picture, end tables that fall apart aren’t as cost efficient as ones that hold up for decades. Not to mention the environmental, labor rights, and global trade ramifications. At some point you’re efficiently encouraging non-sustainability and rewarding bad buyin...

Re: Israel-Palestine Drama Thread
Why would you think otherwise? In general, yes, protesting is perfectly fine and should be allowed. I do think there has been some overreach on the side of folks trying to quell these protests. With that said, there also no doubt that there's either a good amount of antisemitism out there or also a...

Re: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread
Efficient for price and investment. The world is larger than the U.S. Short term gain doesn’t always mean efficiency in the long term. Efficient is also in the eye of the beholder, well, the consumer really. If I don't care that the end table falls apart quickly am I really being inefficient? It se...

Did russia try to get Ukraine to negotiate a peace agreement? It would seem that Ukraine would be most amenable to negotiations when US aid was in jeopardy of not passing. Or did russia attempt to press their advantage while Ukrainian supplies were dwindling? If yes, is US aid continuing the death ...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
Of course it does. And I agree with the idea of prioritizing degrees although (looks around at modern society) I do think social work should be a high priority as well. Regardless, someone is getting wealthy off the college industry and spending can produce an ROI. You and I are closer than you may...

Re: Political memes, Posters, Funny Pics, Etc.
What is the ROI? I’ve seen estimates as high as 7:1 for the original GI bill. An educated workforce increases productivity and innovation. Totally agree on smart consumers but that can be fixed. Also agree on the lenders. They seem to be just a well healed version of takers and grifters. Regardless...
