This is incorrect. That is only true if the market is a zero sum game, which it is not.
Right, it's a negative-sum game. We ignore externalities until the world ends.

Well considering the numbers the GP post quoted were the DJIA composite I think pointing out that their P/E ratio is in line with historical norms despite being up 600% in 25 years is fine in assessing whether there is some huge bubble in that number.
If you want to look at the broader market the NYSE composite index has a P/E of 21.1 which is a bit over the 18-20 range that most risk averse investors would be looking for, potentially pointing to the need for a correction, but again hardly pointing to some huge speculative bubble that is going to wreck the economy.
Markets don't work like a casino though.
They've got enough in common. In order for there to be winners there have to be losers, and the house always gets a cut.
I'm not sure I like your tone.
I'm sure I don't like it when people spread FUD.
Robbing energy from the wind is perhaps poorly studied and less well understood, but there's no doubt it will alter something, for better or worse.
Robbing energy from the wind is highly studied and well understood, and it results in a minimal localized heating effect (lack of cooling effect, actually) immediately downwind of the actual turbine, which is rapidly lost in the statistical noise. If you were able to use google you'd know this already. You do have to learn to filter out the hits from obvious idiots, but since your rhetoric matches theirs, you're probably suffering from confirmation bias. I know it can be hard to wade through the hits from jackholes who don't know what the fuck they're talking about, but all you have to do is just ignore all the results that give you a warm fuzzy feeling.
What I'm proposing is a little more honesty in PR.
What you're doing is complicating the issue because... who knows? Because you have sand in your asscrack? Why don't you go antagonize some of the members of the MIC who outright lie every time they communicate? You've got to pick on someone who's supporting renewables? Show me on the picture where the wind farm touched you.
The DOW Industrials are at a P/E of 16.2, historical averages since the 1880's is 16.6, there's no huge bubble or crash coming unless it's an international contagion from Greece or China that halts world economic progress.
My most recent ex-girlfriend, even though she had lived in America for a few years by the time we started dating, seemed to have this belief that you simply couldn't lose money in the stock market.
You should have taken her to a casino and used it to explain how markets work, then ask her where she thinks the money to build casinos comes from.
I guess you haven't listened to his NPR Radio show. Unless you are die hard hippy level, liberal, who hates all things about Nuclear Power, Fracking, Catholic, Olympics, George Bush Jr. and you really really really hate the Army Core of Engineers.
Sounds sensible to me. All of those things are cancers. You want to think of the ACE as the good guys, but they build stuff that furthers our war efforts, whether economic or actually blowing shit up. They are there not to make the world a better place, but to make certain people richer, and they compete with non-military labor.
No, evidently phoning in his lines still didn't allow for enough free time for 'other projects'
Sigh. Because of the typical boring legal nature of these conflicts, we may well never know the whole story. Perhaps something else he wanted to do conflicted with The Simpsons in some way, and he's just gotten go-ahead to do it, in writing. But because E.P. Al Jean said you should be skeptical, you automatically are. He successfully framed the debate for you to be specifically over time.
Lately? If you believe this is a new phenomenon I have some tulip bulbs I'd like to sell you.
They literally have whole cities just lying around idle. I mean, Spain's got one, sure, but they have several. The economy never developed sufficiently to employ people in jobs that would permit them to live in developed cities in a capitalist society... so the places rot. If they had chosen people to just move into them by merit, or hell had a lottery, the situation would be better.
Capitalism only works when you have free markets and China is the opposite of that. When you have some businesses which clearly have state sponsorship (notably when their whole business model is lying on customs forms) the game is rigged and it doesn't work.
Here in the USA, the robber barons perverted capitalism for their own ends. In China, whatever kind of barons they have over there are preventing it from developing, for their own ends. Same problem, from different ends.
Well, now I know what the one thing is.
Looking forward to per-tab process separation. But I still wish they would rip out the crap and revert the interface.
If I am sick and stay home, there's an increased chance of:
* A patient of a co-worker getting inferior care because my co-worker was covering for you
Conflict detected. They'd get superior care if you're the kind of person who would go give patients your illness.
but with whats going on in the EU wouldnt it make more sense to fix things at home????
They'll fix 'em good, don't you worry.
