No, not if you're doing it to save money. If you're doing it because someone else is better, then yes.

See: IBM's software engineering, vs Delta's offering of their maintenance ops to other airlines. One has really, really worked out, the other hasn't.

Capitalism worked. Price signals are very effective, though painful

I agree on a longer time scale, but my life and the lives of many I know is markedly worse than 5 years ago. Crime is up a LOT in NYC, and the subway for the first time in my lifetime feels sketchy during the day. Inflation has really hurt a lot of my lower SES friends, and there's a general nihilism that's pretty unpleasant.

Also, the mass shooting thing has gotten much worse in the last 30 years.

I completely agree, but also agree with their priority - almost all humans will die of heart disease, the remainder from various cancers or kidney failure.

That said, Alzheimer's is the only one that I've discussed with my wife - I'm not going through all that. Absolutely taking MAID in that case.

This post is about a murder in SF. Not about your home state. It's got nothing to do with the GOP.

Profit is an accounting illusion. Use free cash flow to see reality.

The fact he believed that was a real opinion is very concerning, and the core of the problem with the modern West Coast. People have become fucking unhinged.

Detroit is almost exactly the same size as SF. Detroit has cheap housing AND STILL BUILDS MORE. SF has decided that NIMBYism is the solution to homelessness, and it's obviously not working.

People don't like to believe that problems are of their own making. You legalize meth, then your city fills up with people using meth - that's not the problem of the GOP. There's approximately no Republicans in Seattle, SF, or Portland - the problem is progressivism.
