What is a low content thread? Id say this is pretty filled.
what is the point?
@Daniel Muffinburg
My guess is that cost factors in what the food service workers get paid (wages + benefits). We all know government workers and contractors get paid very handsomely by the State.
How the hell does it cost $3.40 for a soda? Even if they were buying 2-liters, it’s only $1.19 at the grocery store, and the retail price, not the wholesale price.
They’re professionals. At losing money.

It’s for posting articles and other links which do not require in-depth discussion. That way we don’t clutter the forum.

Heh. Environmentalists critiquing new Keynesians (specifically, Karl Smith, who Murphy debated some time ago):
Of course, I do not want to imply that all new Keynesians are leftists, but I just thought this was funny.
We need to clean house on these out-of-control police departments. The problem is not rogue officers. The officers are pretty much just grunts… they’ll do what they’re told. The problem is the filthy, misanthropic mentality of the departments. One way we can push back is to start hitting the municipalities with stratospheric civil lawsuit damages. Would be nice if one of the supposedly pro-rights legal organizations - ACLU, Rutherford Institute, etc. - would pick this up. If Detroit were to be hit with, say, $20 billion in punitive damages for Aiyana’s murder, that would at least send a chill down the spine of other municipalities who might start to think twice about their attack-dog tactics employed by their police departments.
I’ve been saying since at least 2007 that we are going to see ever more tragic, frequent and outrageous killings and abuses by the cops. It’s the inevitable consequence of post-9/11 militarization. We need to see these inevitable tragedies as opportunities to take down the statists on all fronts - media, legal, political, financial, tactical, etc.

I think you all are forgetting the most important and unsettling issue here…
John James hasn’t posted on Mises.org in a week…
I noticed that, too. I have a theory - JJ and Wheylous are having a lover’s quarrel. That’s why Wheylous was gone for so long and then the minute he shows back up, JJ disappears. It’s like when your parents weren’t talking and would never both be in the same room at the same time…

I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed. This is disconcerting.
Thomas Sowell - Our Intellectual-In-Chief
I have a funny feeling that Sowell wouldn’t appreciate being called an intellectual.

“Regulators are planning to look into why there was such a lag between the discovery of the problem and when Knight’s trading ceased, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.”
I wonder, whose intererests are supposedly protected by “regulators” in this case. Stockholders? But why not going via courts?
