@mrmoneymustache If the cost of spending three superlative hours driving electric is an extra 20 minutes “refueling,” it is well worth it.

@MarkusEconomist I’m so sorry, Markus.

@EddyElfenbein @Andrew___Baker Around 1981, short term t-bills were yielding around 20 percent and 30 year bonds around 10 percent. Most people bought the short term bonds. Only a farsighted few made out like gangbusters.

@BetseyStevenson She and others have long used coffee as an example of a class of spending decisions where needs and wants conflict, and where small changes can yield large savings. It's not coffee per se, though as an example, it's useful that good coffee can be made cheaply at home.

@biggsag Curious whether an investment held for 40 years and then sold/taxed at current and preferential cap gains rates wouldn’t yield less revenue than 401k taxed at current regular income rates.

@neimanmarcus we cannot reach anyone who can help in your Bergdorf Goodman store. We bought clothes in store for overnight shipping. The sales agent arranged for overnight shipping. After several days, the clothes have not arrived and no agent has returned our calls.

@greg_shill @Fe55845 In my experience, it’s now easier to rent an EV than stick in the US.
