Exactly what indicators haven't already returned to where they were or better? Inflation, jobs added, GDP, market indexes and more are all doing just fine. Interest rates are still higher due to tariff uncertainty, but a quarter point isn't killing us. I'm not a billionaire, but my 401k and stocks are now at all time highs (because I'm not a retarded doomer drooler and bought during the dip). It's absolutely histrionics to claim things are markedly worse than a year ago.

I don't think there is an immigration "problem", and I do not understand nearly any of the MAGA talking points.

Have you tried? Have you looked at the immigration charts? Do you really think millions per year is what is normal and sustainable? Did you not understand Obama when he wasn't allowing millions in? This isn't a "MAGA" position, this is the position of a good majority of people. Even sanctuary cities are starting to not be so loud about defending illegal immigration. The inability to understand others implies a lack of empathy, ignorance, or lack of intelligence. Which is it with you?

We don't really have to pretend. She did exactly that (maybe not military plans, but then again we won't ever know because she wiped the server... you know, with a cloth) and people were told it was no big deal and we shouldn't worry about it.

I'm sure there will be subreddits dedicated to "butterytexts" or the like...

Oh, so do you support the idea that a farmer selling corn that he bought, grew, harvested, processed, and sold all in Iowa should be subjected to federal regulations because him selling within a single State could affect the market of inter-State commerce or are you just ignorant of how abused the commerce clause has been?

Despite the SINGLE study you posted (your "documentation"), which also points out this is a first-time finding while others have not found the same results, there is not a clear consensus.

Being misinformed isn't what makes you the asshole, however. It's the insinuation that the doctor is hiding information and that the parent and doctor want this child to have a "life-long malady". Big fucking asshole.

In addition, oral immunotherapy is an APPROVED treatment, not "suggested", you incompetent asshole. It is 100% not recommended for everyone.

Go fuck yourself garyisabusyguy.

Nah, this is way too simplistic. That would mean there had to have been many times and many places throughout our history where entire societies were allergic to peanuts. I think they would have figured that out and we would have heard about it. In addition, I'm 100% sure there many, many mothers throughout the years that didn't like peanuts and didn't include them in their diet or their baby's. I mean, really think about the idea that a single generation can avoid a single food and it becomes 10 times more lethal to society - if allergies were that easy to introduce, we would have seen this before, in smaller and larger groups, many times. It's one of those things that seems like such a simple explanation, but really doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

But why is, "charge as much as the market will bear" acceptable? What is wrong with believing in a reasonable cap on profiting so that other people have more of their own resources remaining to do other things with?

That's another topic. You are saying you don't want Target to be able to change pricing without approval and that isn't the current state of affairs, so not really relevant.

To answer your question, basic economics as outlined and described by almost every serious economist ever says that price controls never work.

Comment What's the problem? (Score 1) 149

What's the problem with "surge pricing"? On a moral, ethical level?

You have to realize that they already do this. Target knows what a price-demand curve is. You think Target knows they could sell an item for 20% more but doesn't... because they don't have digital price tags? They've been doing this forever. It's just a bit time consuming so they do it a couple of times a week or maybe daily. Now it won't be so time consuming so they can do it more often and on more products.

Ok, so I agree, I shouldn't pick up an item from the shelf at $3.99 and then pay $5.99 at the register - that's not cool. But other than this timing issue is there a real concern to be had? If there's a new bird flu reported by the government at 9am, are we really concerned that Target upped their prices by noon instead of the next day? What if Target finds out Walmart dropped soda prices by $1 so they match it... are we concerned?

It is because we were far ahead of you and therefore had much more time to ingrain this method into our culture and accumulate old technology. This is a common theme where first movers often lag once the technology has become easier to implement and new features have been added. You aren't special, you were late to the party. Next should we educate you on what "third world country" means?
