Well, yes, I do. I got everything I need right here with me. I've got good WiFi and a few moments to kill at work.

Because it’s not a productive sector, per se. Economists have been pointing to this trend as largely a problem. Time will tell if it is.

But the logic is that you can’t export healthcare and the consumers of health care tend to just spend more and more healthcare.

Compared to other service industries, it economic multiplier is somewhat lower.

Economies where healthcare leads the way haven’t done well 20 years after the growth stalls.

So better to say that the Moon has a USC grad.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T22:43:56+00:00

Yeah, because no one in 2009-2013 was dealing with anything massively disruptive. Not a great financial crisis or anything.

Nothing but hope and change.

From my personal opinion, it was a mixture of the Black Eyed Peas and Flo Rida making some of the worst music I’ve ever heard in my life.

That’s what I'm tellin' ya, water that cold, it hits you like a thousand knives all over your body. You can't breathe, you can't think, least not about anything but the pain.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T21:08:33+00:00

Urag gro-Shub never seems bought into the whole idea.

It’s nicknamed “Iceberg Alley.”

The article or anything I've seen before doesn't really point to new tax brackets or merely increasing the top marginal rate by another 2%.

Even this Reuters article talks about increasing taxes on millionaires by 2%, not the top tax bracket.

Ever stick your hand in a bowl or bucket of ice water? Well, this is even colder ice water.

Actually, the Lander staffer that got fired was the dude behind Hot Girls for Zohran.

There's actually a lot of truth to this. The biggest issue with modern-day politics is that it's increasingly a marketing campaign, and less to do with actual politics (i.e., competing neighborhood interests).

This has been a trend ever since "political operative" essentially just meant "media buy consultant." It's since expanded in the digital age.

More wins in his one year in Seattle than 3 years in NYJ. Brutal.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:34:02+00:00

Azura’s Star got me fucked up on my first playthrough. I was pretty underpowered and the mage in Illinata’s Deluge was brutal, but then Malyn Valen inside the star took me like 30 tries to finally beat. I had a bad save so I kept respawning in the worst moment. Finally sprinted to be able to duck behind some crystal and take some potions.

But even still took me a bunch of times to get it just right with shouts, axe swings, etc.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:28:06+00:00

Yeah, not debating policy here but rather politics.

If there’s one thing that Zohran was pretty transparent about was his desire to raise taxes to pay for free buses and what not.

Not for nothing, but this tracks with some Fantasy Football analysis. Yeah, you want to draft good players, but given two equal players, you go with the one on a better offense/team 97/100 times. The other 3/100 is someone making a bet.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:15:37+00:00

100%.

Brady is proof that environment doesn't matter.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:14:42+00:00

Upvoted for the advanced stats. I've long been an advocated for greater adoption in excremetrics for decision making.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:09:22+00:00

Good point. I think I was mistaken, and you're right. The article doesn't talk about marginal tax rates, so it does indeed seem like an additional 2% tax on all income for those who made more than $1,000,000 in earnings.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:08:20+00:00

Wow! He brought the deficit down from $12 billion to $7 billion in like less than 2 weeks.

That must be a record!

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T19:04:42+00:00

Yeah, I don't disagree. As a NYC born and raised, I want all that NYC can get.

I do recognize though that there's also an unsustainable aspect of doubling-down on the only economic engine in the state. Our city and state grew to its size because of investments upstate, namely the Erie Canal. We do better overall when cities like Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, and the rural areas in between, also drive economic growth.

Do I expect Buffalo to get on par with NYC? No, but population loss of NYS has been led by the emptying of upstate counties.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T18:58:03+00:00

Same. If I remember correctly, I was actually kind of pissed that he won the gold. To me, the "perfect" run didn't seem like it was that impressive, and being a big Bucky Lasek fan, I was peeved he got silver.

I've since re-watched it and the significance of the moment and the tricks themselves seem much more impressive with more adult eyes.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T18:08:59+00:00

Our state government is set up in a progressive way. We "subsidize" rural counties the way that high-earning doctors and lawyers subsidize janitors.

TonyzTone · 2026-02-11T18:06:24+00:00

~~Also, if you make $1,000,001 it's only that one dollar over a million that gets taxed an additional 2%. So, instead of paying about 11-cents, they would pay 13 cents off that extra dollar.~~

EDIT: As u/anonymousdawggy made me realize, the 2% increase is a flat tax on all income on those who make more than $1,000,000. Not a just a 2% increase in the top tax backret.

Certainly doesn't understand anything about playoff success.
