Italian efficiency when it comes to coffee should be studied.
In Italy:
- Walk into a bar and look at the guy
- Un caffe
- 30 seconds later it’s ready
- Shoot it
- Leave €1
- Walk out
In the US:
- Join a line
- Wait
- Order coffee
- Answer 12 questions: Size? Milk? Roast? Sugar? Temperature? Colombia beans? Name? How do you spell it?
- $12.34
- Ask for a 20% tip. Click 5 times on a ipad to have a custom tip
- Tap phone
- ask where to send the invoice
- Wait again on a different line
- Someone call a name that sounds similar to mine
- get the coffee
- too hot, can't drink it
- finally at temperature
taste like shit
Can Congress prohibit home distilling? Judge Edith Jones explains no. That the 150 year old law prohibiting home distilleries runs afoul of the Taxation and Necessary and Proper Clauses (with opinion sections "Necessary" and "Proper"). This is a Big Deal opinion

I’m directing @ConnOPM to revoke the 2025 land use values for farms and open spaces and reinstate the 2020 values effective immediately. This action will help prevent unforeseen property tax assessments on farmland because our farmers are a vital part of our state and economy.
Happy German Unity Day! 🇩🇪🇩🇪
On this day, 35 years ago, on 3 Oct 1990, the GDR was officially dissolved as a state and its territory and people became part of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Agree. Poor article. Incorrect assumptions, clickbait headline, qualifies its premises halfway thru. Almost entirely ignores reasons rents and tenancy rates being strong in many parts of US - land use regulation, construction and land costs, and bad housing policies. No acknowledgement of interest rates except how they impact mortgage affordability. If it was this simple why aren't affordable developers going to town? That is the article that should have been written...
Let's dissect a column in today's @WSJ headlined, "The U.S. Has More Fancy Apartments Than It Is Able to Fill," followed by a sub-headline saying developers "have built a glut of high-end properties instead of badly needed affordable housing."
Is it that simple? Let's jump in.
