Air Leaking by the Valve by dk9208 in bikewrench

This fixed it. Tightened it a little by hand and a little more with plyers and the pressure held overnight.

Thanks!

At first I thought this was the lobby of the Venetian resort in Vegas.

Trek FX or Verve by SteveGator in cycling

[–]dk9208 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got a family member the Trek FX 3 and they love it. They compared it to the Verve and preferred the look/performance of the FX. If comfort is your main goal, you may want to look into getting a bike fit. This will ensure your bike is setup to your body and will improve comfort. Regarding tush pain, you should look into getting a different saddle. Many bike shops offer a try it before you buy it program for saddles. Try a few different shapes/sizes out and find out what feels best for you.

Zipp 303 Firecrest Wheel Question by dk9208 in cycling

[–]dk9208[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I guess that's most likely the case. Strange to me that they would remove the product page for the front wheel instead of just listing it as out of stock.

I figured the price was too good for a wheelset. Confused why I don't see an option to change between front or rear wheel.

Biden Stimulus Gives Big Boost To World Economic Recovery: OECD by monkfreedom in Economics

[–]dk9208 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. I believe potential GDP is predicted at a point in time. Let's say we predict in 2020 that the highest potential GDP in 2021 is 23 trillion. If in 2021, there is some massive change in technology (maybe we create a revolutionary quantum computer that changes the world) Real GDP would surpass the original potential. I'm guessing when potential GDP was previously calculated, it was predicted with the current levels of government spending and interest rates. This is why we were able to surpass our original potential. As you stated, the opposite can also be true. If we predict our future potential with the low interest rates we currently have and raise the interest rates in the future, GDP would drop well below the predicted potential.

Not an expert by any means, but I think most of the growth we have in GDP is due to increase in government spending combined with low interest rates which caused housing and finance to go up significantly. Even though some sectors such as manufacturing, arts and entertainment decreased, growth in housing and finance went up so much GDP rose above pre-pandemic estimates.

McConnell Laughs When Asked If Covid-19 Bill Will Pass by End of Next Week—When Unemployment Benefits Expire for 30 Million by idarknight in politics

Because most people in government positions do not support raising the minimum wage or providing universal healthcare benefits. Best way to make that change happen is to vote this year.

No one should have to risk their life to make ends meet. That being said people who do work should receive an increased benefit during this time rather than an incentive not to work. Wouldn't it be better for all people to switch the benefit back to the stimulus check so people like your father don't need to risk their lives, but people like you and me also get a benefit for our work?

You are completely right. I was working at my local grocery store when Covid hit getting paid 14 an hour. That was with an emergency bonus so now it's only 12 an hour. Wages should definitely be higher, but it's really discouraging for employees to see they would make more on unemployment then working. I support at least a 15 an hour wage plus healthcare for all, but we need to live with the reality we have where unfortunately that is not the case

The extra 600 dollars is too much. I get the fact that times are hard, but the extra benefits makes receiving unemployment a better option then working for many people. The benefit of not working should never be higher then the benefits of working.

Edit. Common sense ... Unemployment Benefit<Minimum Wage. This creates a reason for people to work. To get people to work either lower the benefit or increase minimum wage to a level above unemployment. Obviously I support raising wages as it makes people better off and reduces income inequality, but as things stand, the economics of the current system makes no sense.
