That's not why they are called extrernalities. They are called externalities because they are the external consequences of actions. They are very much in our control, and if you are going to price any commodity fairly, to make it reflect true market and societal costs, then you have to price those in. Otherwise what you're really doing is subsidizing an industry.

Why you still simping for Jew-hating Nazis, dumbfuck fascist?

You wouldn't have your head up your McCarthite fascist ass if the reverse happened with Russia overthrowing Mexico in 2014 to set up as a hostile military base on America's border you dumbfuck. And you wouldn't have tried nothing but peace treaties for eight years before putting your foot down.

Expensive oil benefits Putie, and this makes Donnie happy.

SpaceX didn't invent self-landing rockets. McDonnell Douglass did with the DC-XA.

No, they wouldn't. Price mistakes are common, even in small businesses. It sounds like you have it in your head that everybody is supposed to charge a certain price for any one thing, and any deviation is fraud. That isn't at all how it works. They list a price, they might even have a different price somewhere else. Most stores will honor the lower of what price is listed on the shelf vs what comes up on the till, in fact I doubt one wouldn't, but it's not necessarily illegal if they don't. If you don't like the price anyways, ask for a lower one. Though typically grocery stores don't negotiate pricing, small or big.

It is and always has been this way. The only way it can be fraud is if you misrepresent the product your selling. For example, selling a 4 oz can of tuna with a label that says 6 oz. That's where weights and measures gets involved. There are laws against shady sales tactics like bait and switch, but they don't have anything to do with mislabeled prices.

You can say how you think it ought to be all you want, but don't bother because I'm not a congressman and you're not my constituent.

The argument only makes sense if you completely discount externalities. Once you factor them in, the costs of fossil fuels are absolutely monumental.

I mean, a bullet to the head cures cancer, but I'm not exactly seeing this being proposed as a medical solution.

Ah yes, reductio ad absurdum.

Twelve Angry Men must have driven you insane

You know, I don't have a panic attack if Macbeth is set in 1920, or if they recast Hamlet as a woman. I'll complain if the acting is shitty, but if the actors, whatever their gender or skin color, can pull off a good King Lear, then that's the only thing that counts.

Comics aren't even sacred to themselves. Probably the most parodied aspect of superhero comics is just how frequently "canon" is thrown into a blender, thrown out, and how new writers will just ignore established canon. Every decade or two, the publishers will make a big deal of reuniting timelines, and act as if it was part of some grand plan. The complexity of the textual history of Green Lantern, as an example, rivals the New Testament.

Claude Rains and Peter Lorrie both played obviously homosexual men (Raines playing Renault in Casablanca and Lorrie playing Joel Cairo in The Maltese Falcon), telegraphed in such a way that it would make it past the Hayes Code. Heck, look at Johnny Guitar, with Joan Crawford playing as butch a character as you will find in the films.

But yeah, Some Like It Hot has so much straight and queer visual and dialogue innuendo running around it that it's absolutely nuts. When Tony Curtis's character blurts out in frustration "You’re a guy, and, why would a guy wanna marry a guy?”, Jack Lemmon's response is one of the great bits of movie dialogue "For the security!" Even the closing line, where Lemmon finally confesses he's a man, the response is "Nobody's perfect", which some regard as one of the great closing lines in cinema history.

Hollywood had to handle things carefully back in the day, and Wilder just as much as Hitchcock was a director who had a bag of tricks to foil the Hayes Code, so sometimes I actually wonder how Some Like It Hot ever got made. But this is the guy that directed The Apartment, so Wilder had a talent for getting blatantly sexual content past the censors.

The first thing on my mind when I read the headline was "they're probably anticipating tariffs to send them into the red with their current workforce". Then I read the statement about record revenue thinking "not profit, but go on".

Then sure enough, somebody talks about profit, drops a link, and in the headline is talk of tariffs.

People just don't like to think anymore.

They need to handle it in some way... any way... that does not involve falsely accusing anyone of imagined (or real) wrongdoing. That is never okay.

And no matter how they rename it, it would eventually become an obnoxious and impossible to disable animated UI element... like a neon-colored Charlie Tuna wearing a windows-blue pilot's uniform asking you: "You appear to be trying to contact emergency services after eating some dodgy fugu. Would you like me to help you compose a complaint email to the chef?"
