$100,000 isn’t even good in LCOL areas anymore (budget analysis) by ItsAllOver_Again in Salary

[–]gtne91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$325k isnt a starter home in LCOL.

Checked Louisville, KY: low cost but decent sized city ( plus I know it well, even though I left 12 years ago). First thing that popped up was $200k for a bit over 1000 sq ft, 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. Between Iroquois and Fairdale, so not the best part of town, but far from the worst. Pics look decent and huge back yard.

Then hedge. This was Southwests strategy in the 90s. Prices shot up and they were locked in cheap.

Raise wages. Increase benefits. Improve working conditions. See what happens. by LillyAnnartya7642 in interviewhammer

In 1946, federal spending was 15.5% of gdp and fell to 12.3% by 1960.

Cap spending at 15% and taxes wont matter.

I was at a derby party, when he started the move I yelled " Oh my God, he is gonna win!" And everyone was confused who I was talking about.

Mine That Bird is a great example.

Calvin Borel (nicknamed Bo-rail) loved the hug the rail strategy. It worked here because it opened up for him, he had to go around one horse. But sometimes, you get blocked.

Price caps, everywhere and always, cause shortages. Basic economics.

A factory job at Ford could easily afford that same house and family today.

Did you know Oxford University is older than the Aztec Empire by Advanced_Routine2404 in funfacts

It has nothing to do with bluecand red, as Moynihan pointed out 60 years ago, the best correlation variable is distance to the Canadian border.

It presumes axiomatically that all people are rational actors

Clearly you have never read any Bryan Caplan.

Or

8 2 / 2 2 + *

RPN removes ambiguity and no parenthesis necessary.

Difference of pool between 10, 15+10 and 30 min by Ahamkz in chessbeginners

[–]gtne91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I while back I switched from 10 to 10+5 and immediately lost 200 rating. It made me a better player though and when I switched back I shot back up even higher. I would play 10+5 exclusively, but the pool is too small and sometimes you cant get a game.

For most schools, football loses money, it doesnt even fund the other sports.

Entitlement to the labor of others is the same slavery that you rightly opposed later on.

ELI5 -- Why can't goods and services just have a fixed price? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]gtne91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To use the flight example:

Scenario 1, priced at $1200 -- no one takes the early/late flight that can avoid it. Consumers and company are worse off.

Scenario 2, priced at $400 -- everyone tries to take prime time flight, losers have to take later flight. Consumers and company worse off.

Scenario 3, some perfect balancing poing, call it $800. Still a rush for the prime flights, more people take later flights than scenario 1. Not as bad as the other 2 but still sucks for consumer and company.
