Market segmentation is a thing. Chasing price sensitive consumers doesn’t necessarily make you very profitable.

Well, as long as builders aren’t colluding to fix supply, it doesn’t matter. Corporations can buy up all they want… but idle units are unprofitable. Between property taxes, borrowing costs and maintenance (which accrues whether units are em

Employment is a game of matching; the employer wants to match a skill set to a particular job. It’s entirely likely people on these products don’t easily match internally. The job market for people capable of working on Apple high end R&amp

Probably not. It will likely result in a cut in hours for marginal workers, boosted hours for higher productivity workers and more outsourcing/automation. Labor intensive restaurant operations will have a competitive disadvantage to ca

I hate to break it to you, but the rich are taxed on nominal gains, not real. Holding assets during inflationary periods means paying a higher percentage of your real gains as taxes.

I work at a hardware company. Our parking lot looks like a Tesla, Rivian and Mazarati dealership.

My opinion is largely in agreement with many in the policy community. You are mistaking the opinions of a government regulatory body with that of expertise. The literature on risk is very clear. Occupational level exposure is the critical

I do not have a link, but have read it in multiple journals. The MAO is entirely plausible. Many fast food wrappers are lined with PFAS because of its temperature stability and hydrophobic properties. At high temperatures these coatings a

>Our data shows a statistically significant correlation between PFAS in the blood and harmful blood lipids linked to cardiovascular risk. Fast food consumption is also associated with both. Was this controlled for? How about BMI?

Everything is harmful, from sunlight to food to driving. At issue is cost benefit.

Yeah, I will roll those dice. I am steeped in the literature of asbestos demolition, exposure, health hazards etc. The current policy around ACM and its handling makes you _LESS_ safe because everyone looks the other way. It could be easi

Average construction zone concentrations of ACM during demolition hover around 1fcc. It can be higher for some specific cases (zonolite or high concentration asbestos insulation) but for general things like contaminated drywall, duct wrapp

What ever harm it might be causing, is below the detection threshold, and thus meaningful risk tolerance of everyday life. Living near a freeway for instance is substantially more dangerous to your health than occasional incidental exposure

Pretty harmless to the building occupants. The contractor is at risk it they are doing it everyday for a decade.

The reason no one wants to pay the fee is because the exposure standards are so unreasonably low, that remediation costs huge $$$. And since we’ve made everyone terrified of the stuff, only specialized dumps handle it. Reasonable precautio

Because the dose makes the poison. Low levels of asbestos exposure is statistically unlikely to harm you, and the concentrations from brake dust are relatively low. As long as a brake shop ventilates its work spaces it’s a negligible risk

No. Trade secrets are intellectual property that have legal protection. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1832 What a trade secret lacks in protection is the monopoly granted by a patent.

Eminent domain is not theft. Landholders are compensated with fair market value.

It looks like there is a golf course greater than the size of the entire city near by. Eminent domain it and build more housing.

Credit card balances are up in nominal terms even when credit growth hasn’t happened. Throw in income growth and it shouldn’t surprise people that credit card debt is up.

It makes sense as exactly that. You show the bank that you can manage a float. When you’ve demonstrated you have the executive function to do so, your score goes up.

I think OPs point is, there are other perfectly coherent grammars that also may produce the same result. Were those grammars tested? And a good follow on would be, if not, why was only one and how/why was it selected?

Profit in free markets drives competitors to come in and eat those profits. The problem we have right now is that BigCos use government to erect barriers to entry.
