@AmanogawaShiina My first car was a Honda CRX. No airbags, no power steering, but she had an automatic tranny and A/C. The car couldn't do 40 uphill. I miss her.

@SallyMayweather Zoomers don't buy groceries, however, so you see regular and extreme fluctuations as disastrous. You still act like eggs are expensive! You are an illiterate retard.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@SallyMayweather If you look at general goods, like between meat, grains, eggs, dairy, etc. you'd see much less increase. Like eggs were high for a breeding cycle because a bird flu outbreak necessitated a culling. Egg prices are normal now.

@Michael_Druggan For EV, since you should expect to always lose a lottery, I'd rather go with a risk question. Plan A has a 5% chance of a $200 failure, and plan B has a .01% of a $90,000 failure. Which plan has the lower expected cost of failure?

It's the same question, but without gambling.

@Slootoot @storkstrangler @LinkofSunshine That is a failure of literacy on your part.

He said 5, which is in the range 5 to 10, not less than five. "Less than" means not including, "less than or equal to" would be inclusive.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@storkstrangler @LinkofSunshine This also shows why the answer is written like that. You just divided by the initial interest and forgot compounding was a thing. It's fast to calculate the 5, then reason it's less than that.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@storkstrangler @LinkofSunshine You failed at math.

It's actually 4 years because interest compounds. 1.2^4=2.0736. it can't be less than 4 because it compounds annually, so it only works in periods of whole years.

@chakravartiiin Specifically super attractive mosquitos that produce infertile offspring. Id be surprised if no one has made a dystopian scifi based on the concept to humans.

@BrianNiemeier They legally have to, thanks to the Ford vs Dodge discussion. They wouldn't get to if customers just stopped buying McDonald's, and signaled that prices were too high, but Burger King started accepting credit cards and door dash accepts klarna. Poors get too much easy debt.

@VladTheInflator I thought housing costs would flatten at double digit interest rates, but it looks to flatten at 6%. It needs to be set and stay at 7%, but the next administration will just lower interests to stimulate the economy and undo the progress by stopping housing prices increasing.

@blancmontagnard Compound growth. The older you are, the more time you've had for your savings to grow. This should be expected.

@ramit It's because the cities destroyed the family. Certainly, a senior is much more willing to sell to his/her kid for a good rate if they know the grand kids will get a good house, then downsize or live with the family. But the kids no longer live in town.

@Bobbythirdway I'm saying this would be desirable assuming you get rid of the crime since it's a house that you can walk to a job paying city salary from. Cities can concentrate wealth.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@Bobbythirdway Policing plays a bigger role, reduce the number of illegal immigrants in housing, and make more communities safer (desirable), then you both increase the supply and decrease the demand of good housing. Like the $250k houses in Philadelphia a couple blocks from the subway.

@EvangelicalDW There was the joke made in the Homers Enemy episode that it really doesn't make sense he could afford such a large house and family on his salary. Every sitcom seems to have a joke about the house being extravagant for the character's income.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@RefinedPopulist Minimum wage has also more than doubled in my area since then. Proportionally, it's still the same or lower cost.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@RefinedPopulist It still isn't. The $20 lunch is doordash. Fastfood still has cheap items on the menu. You don't need doordash 3 times a day.

[Tang 1054 @Tang1054]

@RefinedPopulist I don't see a milkshake on that menu.
