Not to be pedantic (ok a little bit), but you don't normally include any costs on your balance sheet, but you might want to include them on your income statement.

I don't think so: they say explicitly that they hired to "match and fuel [...] growth".

While not 90%, transmission and distribution are around 40% of the cost of retail electricity, so lowering those substantially would go a long way.

You can surely see how this could be problematic? Q1: Should we lower taxes? Q2: Should we introduce 5k/month UBI?

If they did what you suggest, wouldn't you also conclude that they are doing it for the sake of (future) profit?

So do it? I really don't see the problem. I get that Deliveroo puts you on their platform even if you don't agree (the apps where I live don't do this), but if that's the case the restaurant is still getting the full pri

No it doesn't make them fascist, and that's not what Eco is saying. Combining Saint Augustine and Stonehenge is syncretism, which is a symptom of Ur Fascism (as discussed) above. Symptom does not equal implication.

I am not sure I understand your use of the word "symptom". Being syncretistic, by itself , is clearly not indicative of fascism (as you point out all religion is syncretistic to some extent, so is art, etc.), but if you see many

I returned to this essay when I saw the photo of the Jake Angeli in the Capitol - a Q-supporter wearing an Indian buffalo mask and a tattoo of Odin, storming the capitol alongside evangelical Christians. Relevant quote: This new culture ha

That's fine - that's awareness marketing and if you want to do it with online ads that's up to you. But then you should consider it compared to your other awareness marketing channel. But the promise of performance marketing

What about the morality of the situation? From a purely self-interested perspective I think its pretty obvious there is limited benefit given the risk. But if you are relatively young and healthy, expecting others to get the vaccine so you

I think you fundamentally misunderstand the role and requirements of serious journalism. One is attempting to corroborate information, and weighing that information by the likelihood that it is, in fact, fact. Tony may have seemed very cred

Can you be a bit more specific on what you believe to be so important/surprising/relevant about this story that would make an entire journalistic career? What is the story that is not being told, and actively being suppressed? I h

Even if this data was correct, the difference is that in 2020 there were pretty stringent measures in place to reduce the spread of Covid (which were not in place in the past for major influenza outbreaks). We do not have a clean counterfac

"What the writers had in mind" is one way of interpreting laws in the present day, but by no means the only way. You will probably find a ton of laws in effect today that are applied to things, or interpreted in ways, that no one

I think the key here is that it is bad according to society's legal norms, rather than any "socio-political norms". I think it is absolutely justifiable that Google filters based on legal norms, given that it is a company ope

The US typically sends Type 2 ambassadors to plush, comfortable countries, and Type 1 ambassadors to postings in difficult or very poor countries. I knew my small Eastern European country had made it when we started getting incompetent amba

I think the model is rather: a) buy long-term leases at low price b) sell short-term leases at high price The problem with this model is that when demand for real estate falls (e.g. because of economic cycles, trends/tastes, etc.) the

Participating in corporate governance and actively forming corporate strategy is a very different issue. And to my knowledge, ETFs and mutual funds do not participate in any meaningful way in management, i.e. they do not act as activist inv
