Completely agree, actually.
This isn’t what I think someone should do. It is morally abhorrent. This is just a contrived scenario to try and prime an intuition to help OP understand why small changes in supply can have outsized effects on price.
If at any point someone sees human suffering or danger and thinks “profit opportunity”, I have a hard time understanding why that person should be permitted to continue to participating in society freely.
You don’t think this would merit a “carbrain”? I’ve seen it thrown at much less.
Nuclear waste is safe IF handled properly. Guns. Fluorine. Antimatter.
I get your point, but I think “apples to oranges” is a bit far.
Just because something can be safe with adherence to established safety procedures, doesn’t mean you can’t compare it with things that are safe without them.
If there are 300 life jackets on a sinking ship being sold for $10 each on a ship with 300 people on it. No problem.
No, imagine there are only 299 life jackets on that sinking ship.
The 2 people who want the last life jacket might be willing to bid quite a bit higher than $10 for it, even though the supply only shrank by a fraction of a percent.
In short, supply reduction doesn’t carry enough information on its own to imply how much the price will increase. “How fucked are the customers competing to buy the remaining product if they can’t get it” is the other key factor.
And a seatbelt has never saved my life?
Is the general consensus that this is a mistake on the part of the government of China?
Were you born in 84?
This is a concise and correct answer to a significant percentage of questions I hear.
Season 3 CLOSING theme is where it’s at
Culture changes generationally, often reactionary. Old things become new.
Old tends/fashions come back into style, often because there was something compelling and novel about them in the first place. We see it with romanticized aesthetics but I think social organization sees similar patterns.
Anyways, that preamble was for my naive and optimistic pitch that at some point, we’ll see a wholesale rejection of AI and see a Renaissance of in-person socialization and art. Hippies, beat nicks, bars with live local talent, social clubs like the Elks and Shriners… shit like that, I think it’s due for a big comeback.
Not tomorrow. Maybe 20 years… but if there is any modern constant, it’s for children to reject the lifestyles of thier parents.
I feel like gen z caught the full destruction of 3rd spaces that melenials still caught the tail end of.
I’d love a community space to share my knowledge of pre-zuck-thiel tech with. I feel like the complete destruction of 3rd spaces are part of why there is such poor knowledge xfer between z and millennials
If you want to show a pattern, you have to show a PATTERN.
This is a data point, not a particularly good one.
The guy is a giant POS, for a hundred thousand reasons more salient than this.
If the guy was doing a great job, I wouldn’t give a shit if he was loaded 24x7.
Edit:
If sobriety was a reasonable indicator of competence and capacity Utah would be the capital of the planet.
Too deep, without a safe recovery plan in case of failure.
Statistically, “top of your field” is a high enough bar that even 10 years of experience doesn’t put you there.
It’s not impossible, but it is fishy. Unless she graduated at age 9.
Best advice I got about parenting wasn’teven about parenting necessarily, it was about interacting with other adults. I got it shortly before I became a parent myself: “Listen to advice, but understand everyone is full of shit”
People love to speak in absolutes. Nobody speaks about adults like they’re a simple 1+1=2 equation but will absolutely insist children are that simple.
Which is frankly insane. Its the opposite. Culture homogonizes us, adults are much simpler than children, they’ve spent a lifetime being battered into a societal mould. Kids are still exactly themselves.
I’m really glad I got that advice, or reading through these miserable catty comments from people who clearly have all the answers would be really harmful.
I feel like a lot of people start from a conclusion and work backwards to find the justification.
My point is that if you shouldn’t be paying anyone for shitty comments.
It’s amazing how you just gloss over than the “public infrastructure” is “roads”. I’ve seen people call people carbrains just for acknowledging roads ARE public infrastructure.
I maybe only see the stupidest and most vicious. You maybe only see the most intelligent and measured.
The truth is, you’re at a disadvantage here trying to convince me or anyone that rabid idiots don’t exist in the fuckcars community when others have seen and interacted personally with them.
I guess all I can really ask is that IF you see this behavior you call it out. Communities that don’t self regulate inevitably go insane and start generating slurs for people outside of thier culture which is a pretty good litmus test for toxicity.
