A crypto enthusiast friend once made that argument to me and it was so baffling. By this logic, we should all leave our lights and air conditioners on while we're at work or on vacation because it will increase demand and hasten the tr

I’m a little confused by the reasoning here. You state that peak (commute) traffic is recovering but off-peak is still low, due to WFH? Wouldn’t WFH be impacting peak hours, with off-peak at all-time-low due to other things like leisure tra

But it’s fun to watch them fail to circle the wagons when it’s Theranos or FTX or Y Combinator. Ummm...one of these things is not like the others

Of course a country’s stock market will perform well as that country ascends to become the world’s dominant superpower. The question is whether the power and influence of the U.S. will grow similarly over the next 150 years as it has over t

What about my position seems insincere to you? You see no philosophical difference between the government mandating vaccination records for schools and public institutions like the military vs. them mandating vaccination records for private

The issue is that there were coercive government mandates. "Almost everyone should get vaccinated" does not mean the government should coerce everyone into making the correct medical decision by barring them from employment or acc

What's insane about it? 8% is a pretty normal rate, historically speaking. The average rate for a 30 year fixed mortgage since 1971 is 7.76% https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/MORTGAGE30US

It's not crazy when you consider the risk to that population is miniscule, and that the vaccine does have side effects, particularly for young people.

You don't seem to be engaging with the main point here: there were places that DID take COVID seriously--that shut down overnight, paid the price of mass unemployment, homelessness and growing tent cities, increasing substance abuse &#

Here in the U.S., at least, what has widely been maligned as "COVID denialism" was actually a deeper and more nuanced conversation about whether sudden, sweeping changes to society would prevent more harm than they cause. And now

It's true that 2021 saw the highest rate of GDP growth in 30 years, but that came immediately after the largest GDP decline in 30 years during 2020. So that can be explained as an aberration due to the pandemic shutdowns and subseque
