The hoi polloi want their debt paid by the public. Private capital eats the loss here. kind of different.

Market segmentation is a thing. Chasing price sensitive consumers doesn’t necessarily make you very profitable.

Well, as long as builders aren’t colluding to fix supply, it doesn’t matter. Corporations can buy up all they want… but idle units are unprofitable. Between property taxes, borrowi…

Employment is a game of matching; the employer wants to match a skill set to a particular job. It’s entirely likely people on these products don’t easily match internally. The job …

Probably not. It will likely result in a cut in hours for marginal workers, boosted hours for higher productivity workers and more outsourcing/automation. Labor intensive restauran…

Sleep deficit drives metabolic changes that may result in obesity (e.g over feeding behavior).

Title does not reflect findings.

I hate to break it to you, but the rich are taxed on nominal gains, not real. Holding assets during inflationary periods means paying a higher percentage of your real gains as taxe…

I work at a hardware company. Our parking lot looks like a Tesla, Rivian and Mazarati dealership.

Seems to have worked for Russia.

>They closed because it was cheaper to build in other countries, or to outsource from contractors who build in other countries (where organized labor doesn't exist). The U.S. lost …

My opinion is largely in agreement with many in the policy community. You are mistaking the opinions of a government regulatory body with that of expertise. The literature on risk …

I do not have a link, but have read it in multiple journals. The MAO is entirely plausible. Many fast food wrappers are lined with PFAS because of its temperature stability and hyd…

>Our data shows a statistically significant correlation between PFAS in the blood and harmful blood lipids linked to cardiovascular risk. Fast food consumption is also associated w…

Everything is harmful, from sunlight to food to driving. At issue is cost benefit.

Yeah, I will roll those dice. I am steeped in the literature of asbestos demolition, exposure, health hazards etc. The current policy around ACM and its handling makes you _LESS_ s…

Average construction zone concentrations of ACM during demolition hover around 1fcc. It can be higher for some specific cases (zonolite or high concentration asbestos insulation) b…

Said no epidemiologist ever.

What ever harm it might be causing, is below the detection threshold, and thus meaningful risk tolerance of everyday life. Living near a freeway for instance is substantially more …

Pretty harmless to the building occupants. The contractor is at risk it they are doing it everyday for a decade.

The reason no one wants to pay the fee is because the exposure standards are so unreasonably low, that remediation costs huge $$$. And since we’ve made everyone terrified of the st…

Because the dose makes the poison. Low levels of asbestos exposure is statistically unlikely to harm you, and the concentrations from brake dust are relatively low. As long as a br…

No. Trade secrets are intellectual property that have legal protection. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1832 What a trade secret lacks in protection is the monopoly gran…

That’s not a very credible source.

Eminent domain is not theft. Landholders are compensated with fair market value.
