Given infinite time, is it possible to randomly draw a rational (instead of an irrational) from the interval [0, 1]? And if so, is it possible infinite times?

I had no idea this was a thing, but I made a similar joke about Renoir last month when the paintings were stolen, so I guess I belong in this club.

Malice is not required, which is precisely why I added, "in effect". If the effect is the same as data laundering, that is reason enough to encourage the practice, regardless of the original motives (and I'm sure there are plenty of legitimate ones).

I can certainly do that, and I can see how my comment came across as unnecessarily harsh. I just want to be clear that my issue was with the reasoning, not the position, and not the individual.

Not to mention, as has been said many times before, there isn't much incentive to build out manufacturing in the US when its trade policy is constantly shifting at the whims of one person. Businesses need stability, and this President delivers the opposite.

It gives a few reasons why you're still not getting that industrial base back, even after tariffs.

I think this is an uncharitable interpretation.

On the contrary, you haven't explained why discoverability matters, or why any of us should care. You just take it as a given that it justifies the means. I believe that is what the poster above is pointing out.

This makes as much sense as the notion of "crony communism," which is to say, it doesn't. Ignoring the harmful side effects of an economic system makes one an ideologue.

Blue collar workers have understood this for a long time, and even occasionally took up arms against their employers. It's the white collar folks who are just starting to figure this out.
