@ipodmacbook Lawyers default to writing contracts that give their clients everything, even if their clients just want a balanced deal.
I think it's just the nature of their duty to the client. Better to get concessions they didn't ask for than give concessions they didn't explicitly approve.
"The idea that housing could 'filter' upmarket due to shortages or downmarket due to abundance is trickle-down economics & absurd pro-developer propaganda," I type from my $5000/mo Lower East Side apartment built 130 years ago as a tenement for penniless Italian immigrants
Instead of having government take a stake in AI labs, you could just raise corporate taxes (and make the corporate tax graduated). That's a lot better for the budget, plus it's guaranteed to be constitutional.
@buffetbreaker Burgers like this trigger an anger in me like the anger I'd feel if I was eating a regular burger and someone slapped it out of my hands onto the ground.
@OG_Jaybird A while back someone pointed out that if you have a 60 inch hole in your drywall, it's cheaper to cover it with a new TV than to hire a pro to fix it.
@constans When these buildings go on sale for fire sale prices we don't usually see tenants building a co-op to buy them.
If they were paying rent well in excess of the landlord's upkeep cost, this seems like it would be a good play.
@constans Tighter manufacturing tolerances let you build better tools, but they also give you the option to build cheaper lines of tools without a bunch of them being broken right out of the box.
It's mostly good that "good enough" tools are a viable product now.
There are rumors of workers and the smell of beer at Anchor Brewing.
We need an announcement of Golden Tickets and a tour where middle aged men with bad habits drown in a beer waterfall.
Oren being devotedly pro-tariff and vaguely anti-war puts him in this insane position where he believes โless trade causes higher prices and slower growthโ but ONLY for goods coming through the Strait of Hormuz. Itโd be hilarious if it wasnโt so pathetic.
@OwenShroyer1776 Most of the products and services produced and used in the US are, in fact, not edible.
Not everything has to be food! There are other things!
@JTTSoundSystem@Ayylmao63963350@constans And frozen food often completely destroys homemade on price with labor (dumplings, chicken tenders, meals with side dishes, etc).
@s0ymalia@WalkerEl81677@oecolamp Right. You need to compare apples to apples. Yes, a pot of beans with no seasoning is cheaper than frozen dumplings. But making your own equivalent dumplings? Tons of labor time at home vs a giant commercial machine that just cranks them out.
