Re: Team Trump v/s Everyone

Column: Trump's hush-money criminal trial could be a cure for 'Trump amnesia' Before Donald Trump's hush-money trial in New York got underway, pundits predicted that the proceedings could be a media bonanza for the former president. During this year’s Republican primaries, they noted, Trump’s popul...

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: Miscellaneous news items that don't warrant their own thread

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 serves my need. You may have a different opinion on how long an end table should last, but you make that decision known with your purchas...

It's not a 1:1 ROI. There are likely other programs with a higher ROI. Does the law of diminishing returns apply? Is part of the problem that people who took out these loans weren't smart consumers?

Did they actually have gallows constructed? I don't remember that. I'm fine calling it an insurrection, no real argument there.
