Same when I got on ocd meds. Love being able to go and do a thing without compulsively making lists of every other tasks that I could be doing.

Rents are skyrocketing because demand is high and we literally do not have enough housing for the number of people we have in the places they live.

Suddenly dumping more money into the economy would just increase the price bar on that demand, and prices would go up more.

Prices can increase for a lot of reasons, and going up from one doesn't stop them from going up from another.

Similarly, from an engineer's perspective, scientists are a great addition to the working group when you need to find the flaws in the system, but awful when you actually just need something to go into the real world and work 80% of the time ;)

Is this a US thing I'm too French to understand?

I'd say likely yes to this. It's much easier to centrally govern a more geographically dense and homogeneous country.

In the US we have strong localized government (city/county, state) and the more sweeping Federal government.

And they do submit to central government, that's exactly what the discussion in this article is about- will the central court decide to strike down their local laws?

And why it makes great rocket fuel...

...if you ignore all the other side effects

I feel like it'd make gift giving more difficult, but more meaningful- you would have to give people actually customized things, something you made or something you think they need that they haven't noticed. Harder, but shows more thought than giving generic-consumer-item#528

I know this is a meme, just made me think

A friend would use "theydies and gentlethems"for dramatic effect

For some reason I kept imagining sending this post back in time to Benjamin Franklin and how he would react
