The value of surprise, of the rare, and where to find it:

@wapella @TwigGlobe @SonVlad @JamesSurowiecki @mdangremond In your example:
(Import price + tariff without VAT)/(domestic price without VAT) = 1.50/1.00 = 1.50 (i.e., import price higher by tariff %)
(Import price + tariff + VAT)/(domestic price + VAT) = 1.80/ 1.20 = 1.50 (i.e., import price higher by tariff %)

Therefore, VAT neutral.

5) One possibility is that dual-class arrangements approximate the longer-term focus of a private corporation, while still permitting access to, and access by, investors in public capital markets.

@Mootz613 @cogeco Is it too much to ask that Kingston customers be given an expected date/time of service restoration? Or at least some sort of answer or acknowledgement? This really is a text book case of how not to handle outages.

... For example, if the market expects a decline of inflation, is that because the market considers current CB actions sufficient and further action unnecessary or is it because the market expects further action?

[David Stinson @StinsonAnalytic]

In the absence of a clear, consistent, credible and economically relevant monetary target, it is not possible for a CB to effectively coordinate monetary policy actions with market expectations/forecasts. ... https://t.co/19U1FvH4ZD

@Urgandasubtle5 Not only do not rush to read it, but run away from it.

@lutschij @Urgandasubtle5 A problem with online booksellers is that I miss the fixtures — the floor-to-ceiling bookcases and sliding ladders. The ladders introduced an element of élan.

I am wondering if I need to add "storytelling" to my list of skills on Linkedin.

@mdvex22 @Jed_Trott This is nice. I have always had a thing for high-performance station wagons.

@GeorgeCooper__ @mdvex22 @Jed_Trott Inevitable, I suppose, given the computerization of cars.

@mdvex22 @Jed_Trott I'd make an exception for a 1M.
