elsewhen··on Car design is about to change forever
Unitized bodies may be more economical when comparing one vehicle to another, but this design allows for multiple cars on a single platform. So a family may have 4 vehicle types and two “skateboards.” So, for an apples to apples comparison, I think you’d have to compare this setup to _four_ unibody vehicles.

Gary Cohn, Trump's chief economic advisor did exactly this[0].

"The chief economic adviser was required to sell his Goldman Sachs shares -- and he did so tax-free and with perfect timing"

I agree that lotteries are close to one side of the risk scale but real estate is closer to the middle than to the other extreme. The other extreme is U.S. treasuries. The last recession was a great illustration of the risk inherent in real estate.

elsewhen··on Fed cuts half point in emergency move amid spreading virus
There are still many other countries with cheap labor (Bangladesh, Pakistan, lots of Africa etc). It will still take a few more decades for the majority of the whole world to get out of poverty (assuming we don’t go off the rails).
