• Obama knows political fortunes tied to gas prices

  Sat Apr 23, 2011
  • I just read a couple news articles on this. Apparently it's very common for gas station contracts to stipulate that prices go up with the daily market, but only come down once higher priced deliveries have been used up.

  • How much could we impact prices, if we wasted less food? It's easy to find numbers saying 30% - 50% of food is thrown away, in the US. Maybe we'd be more careful with a $10 loaf of bread. As with all things, we're as wasteful as we can afford to be.

  • I think one of the points is to show how much more you can get for the money than just a couple years ago. Highlighting homes under $200k, that might be $50k less than in the past, just isn't as dramatic as showing these that are more likely to be $100-150k less.

  Wed Aug 25, 2010
  • I'll tell you who's ready.  The Chinese.  6 weeks after the massive earthquakes they had within the last year, they had 2 million citizens housed in temporary structures.  Nothing fancy, but WOW, they mobilized in a way we never could.
