By chance I just talked to someone with deeper knowledge on this and they said the current constraint is actually ramping up supply of the delivery mechanism, not the drug. I have zero expertise on this, but would be curious if anyone knows

I wonder if a more workable arrangement would stipulate that indigenous people are exempt from these regulations only when the work and management of a project is also designed and implemented by Indigenous people. That would seemingly circ

No, it is really how it works, (as I caveated) most of the time. I don't understand what you're arguing here. Is your claim that most of that government deficit was not spent in the domestic economy (therefore stimulating GDP grow

No, that's a bad analogy. It's more like I borrowed 8% of my annual income this year, and then bought 4% more than last year. If I hadn't borrowed all that money, I wouldn't have been able to buy that much. It's bot

Appreciate you fighting the good fight here, but this one is actually a valid point. If real GDP growth is at 4.9% while the government deficit is at 5.3% of GDP, (in most cases) GDP isn't actually growing organically. https:/&#x

The 8% deficit listed above _is_ a percentage of total GDP of the whole country (although the Fed has it at only 5.3%). The numbers are directly comparable. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFSGDA188S

The comment I'm replying to claimed fewer people _want_ jobs in a system such as Germany's.

Odd then that the USA has a much lower labor force participation rate than Germany.

I think that's fair so long as you exclude e.g. sailing "athletes."

I'd be curious to know how much the ~25pt asian-white SAT score gap is explained by ALDC students. In other words-- how much harder is it for a non-ALDC asian student to get into Harvard than a non-ALDC white student?

The savings from turning household heat down during the day aren't trivial, but they aren't very large either. You can keep your heat ~10-20°F lower during the day when you're not home and save energy, but then additional ene

I'm pretty ignorant of airplane models, Air France flight but it was a large plane so may have been a Boeing 777.

Before landing on the last flight I was on, the flight attendants requested that everyone turn off their phones (even if in airplane mode) due to the weather conditions while landing. Does anyone know what purpose that could possibly serve?

Yeah, the cutoff points for any rule of thumb are going to be fairly arbitrary. I don't understand why people are treating this like a profound observation.

It clearly does fit the rule because the year doesn't start in February. There's no need to change reality so you were right. It's just a rule of thumb, not some profound maxim of economics.

Yeah the article treats George Martin producing it like a cool coincidence. But it seems more likely that he heard the song, perhaps many times, because Martin played it.
