@Fumetsu_No_Tora What’s 9,999,998 + 2057? Learn the shortcut- it’s often the right way to do it.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@DBGyt_ There’s presumably a call between each team and their stadium liability insurer about what it means for premiums if players charging into the stands is NOT punished.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@Squirrel_Hand Yeah but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad problem to address.

And poor instruction can convince a marginal kid to evolve from a “math learner” to “class disrupter”

Especially if they can’t divide and the class has moved to fractions or logarithms.

@MiamiCanes1971 I kinda understand Duke but there’s a lotta ugly out there with Wake Forest and not a nothing too impressive about VT’s results.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@uncledoomer Alternately, maybe inflation goes down and rates fall.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@uncledoomer This is kinda framed like it’s a provocative question but it’s not really. Interest rates are high because inflation is high. Maybe we have 30% higher inflation over the next 6-7 years and house prices ONLY go up 20%. That’s a huge drop in adjusted value. Not the end of the world

@MiamiCanes1971 Navy is 21-5 the past two seasons with ranked wins each year and bowl wins over Oklahoma and Cincinnati.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@chainmailslut Yeah, but blind people don’t “see differently” regardless of how much money you dangle in front of them.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@smashbaals Why would ancient people commonly have flood stories? How else could they explain this?

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@smashbaals Mountains are formed by tectonic plates slowly crushing into each other-uplifting sea floor.

This means if you climb mountains and see exposed rock- you’ll often see fossilized fish and seashells

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@mattyglesias I mean it’s both, and both parties. See Vivek’s baseball ad as an example.

@tracewoodgrains If you’re sympathetic to arguments that eviction protections are bad for good RESPONSIBLE low income renters, you should sympathize with hard working 20th percentile HS grads who won’t continue to college.

They no longer stand out-graduation isn’t an achievement.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@tracewoodgrains I’m not specifically familiar with the Regents exam, and I understand the benefit is following 90% of other states.

But the second order effects are that HS diploma becomes a meaningless signal and bachelors requirements for employment proliferate. Pretty bad.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@I_luv_ix What do you expect this to cover? Disability services for kids are NOT cheap. Also- what’s your goal- to have more families buy insurance just for their kids without insuring themselves?

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@soncharm This is all true- but people also seem pissed at red light cameras and speed inhibitors that block <90 mph

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@JHWeissmann And, if society cannot prevent violent ex-criminals on parole from carrying guns- the likely solution will just be more mass incarceration/the end of parole.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@RefObserver17 Most high school games cost more. This is just a USC problem.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@bilalfarooqui This is such a dumb idea.

There need do be zero cost public health offerings- like vaccines. Bundling with insurance makes sense.

$2000/month catastrophic plans are horrifically unpopular. So bundle some free doctor visits.

[J Barnes @jbarnes1223]

@CharlesFLehman @mattyglesias To what end though? If gun bans for felons become unconstitutional, I don’t think we see more rights for felons.

Instead, we’d likely just ramp up incarceration and give up on rehabilitation

Lock ‘em all up FOREVER
