I always think about that regarding the Ferengi in Star Trek too. They're supposed to have stolen all their tech, but still, how could a civilization who glorifies treachery ever create and maintain a space program at all? Or even a power plant? Two brothers can't even cooperate long enough to hold a poker game.

Lol, I only got 8/12, I suck. I don't think I got a single woman right either. Honestly I suspect most of the ones I got right were gay men who were left-wingers. I'm gay myself, I think I just have good gaydar.
Verdict: Women are an enigma wrapped in a mystery, covered in... something I have no interest in.

If they refused to go to work, would they be arrested?

Until Trump, Republicans had been consistently voting for the prior runner-up in presidential nominations. IIRC Romney, McCain, Dubya, Dole, HW, Reagan and Nixon were all nominated after being in second-place in the prior primary.

I don't even think Dems needed to lie about their intentions or beliefs. They put up ads like "Cox is too consistently conservative for Maryland", which they really believed (and the recent election suggests they were correct to believe that). There's nothing wrong with advertising your beliefs.

Everyone knows the government can't make sure inflation is 0, so instead they try to make inflation be about 2%, so even if they mess up and miss that goal by a little at least it's better than deflation.
If inflation were zero, it would amount to deflation over time as productivity and population increases. You have to have a little inflation to keep up with growth.

Ontario's leader is under heavy fire for playing hardball and preventing educational workers from getting large raises. I don't know the details well, but couldn't one argue this is what fighting inflation looks like?
Only if those raises would otherwise come from new currency (i.e. the Canadian central bank prints new money), which I would assume is not the case. I don't think that has any connection to inflation.

Seems to me you have it exactly backwards. A bunch of stealthy fires approximating a mass layoff over time means no one will know when the layoffs will end. Musk said he was going to lay off a bunch of people, then he did. Those who remain should be, and I would wager are, confident that they are not also on the verge of being laidoff.
I don't think shitposting matters in the long run. I also am dubious Musk's plans will lead to profitability.

There are definitely gay guys who are more into crazy hobos than handsome escorts.

Honestly if I had heard of that movie before its release, I would have assumed "Bros" meant like frat brothers, I'd guess it was an American Pie-like comedy.

I think it would be good if there were seven weekly posts like the Culture War Round-Up. That would help with user retention, I think. Like there could be one for economics, since that's not necessarily "culture war" per se.

I'm finding all the pictures in comments very offputting. Can we ban that?
I would assume escorts who don't use condoms are more likely to be desperate, drug-addicted, homeless, etc, and less likely to fill out surveys.
