This is more like you measure the fragment speeds with both a laser and with radar, and get different readings off the same fragment.

To an extent, this is already happening. I work in manufacturing, and the last couple of years there was more demand for our product than our factories were physically capable of producing, and prices were raised to weed out the number of customer orders to what we could handle. Projections for this year are for softened demand, and sales expects to have to offer significant price cuts to keep enough orders for our manufacturing lines to stay busy.

Collective "we have enough stuff and will buy less" at work.

It's not like housing is inherently capped. Cities choose to pass and enforce zoning laws that limit the number of housing units - shortages drive up prices, which homeowners love.

Blaming AirBnB for taking up a fraction of housing units in a market that is profoundly short on housing because of the NIMBY greed of residents is missing the forest for a tree.

I work for a manufacturing company, and during the demand boom our customers wanted way more product than our facilities are physically capable of producing. I suppose sales could have complexified and ratcheted up our existing rationing process (have to have one at some level when it takes months to produce an order), but raising prices made demand go down so it matched our actual ability to make stuff.

Given the wild increase in demand beyond the infrastructure capabilities, the only alternative to inflation was rationing, and I do not have enthusiasm for ration lines.

Eh, witch hunts are a big risk in the immediate aftermath when crowd tension is the highest. It has been three years, at this point I expect the sleuth work on suspect identification would be all upside.

The bigger security concern is sleuths figuring out all the camera locations and, by deduction, the blind spots. Johnson is setting up the next Congress to be much more vulnerable to violent attack.

Maybe in the short term, but ultimately companies make profit when there are lots of consumers with the resources to buy their product. Squeezing employees makes them unable to consume as much, which slows the economy. Ten thousand people buying a $300 TV makes the company way more profit than ten millionaires buying a $30,000 TV.

GDP is a bumpy measure that tries to sum up a lot of complexity in one number, but over time (years) it grows faster when the middle class does well.

75% of women killed by intimate partners are killed when they attempt to leave or after they have left. Getting away is in no way, shape, or form a path to safety.

In sports, 'trash talk' is saying mostly untrue negative things about the other team as part of pumping up your team. Maybe it has different connotations for people who don't interact with sports culture, but for me it strongly implies rhetoric and hyperbole.

Not a hypothetical: Hostess folded, as did Yellow trucking. Unions can't save a business from bad business decisions or destructive market forces.

But businesses fold all the time, union or no union. When business is good, unions make sure the employees get a fair piece of that.

They did. I guess the community outcry was so loud even Microsoft had to heed it and reverse course.
