~~Broken window~~ dead bicyclist economics.

Heck, I’ll let you not use windows for $49.

Isn’t the free market great?

… horses… for courses…?

Literally never heard this phrase before, but it seems very similar to “different strokes for different folks.”

It doesn’t make any sense to me but I kind of love it.

You don’t have to save it to a file but I often do.

Economists love toll systems because they’re essentially a use-tax: drive more, pay more.

Unfortunately, they’re also a regressive tax. Poor people generally drive more because they can’t afford to live near their work/school/etc. So, the additional tax revenue is mostly extracted from the people who are the least capable of changing their behavior and have the least disposable income.

3rd sentence of the article:

Indicted on three counts involving money laundering and wire fraud, the Charlotte-area man faces a maximum of 20 years per charge.

If you follow the article to the press release:

SMITH, 52, of Cornelius, North Carolina, is charged with wire fraud conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison; and money laundering conspiracy, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.

I didn’t realize and was pleasantly surprised to learn that the league is allowing these helmets in-game this year.

I assumed they’d never allow that since the “crunch” is such a big part of the product.

Maybe there’s hope for humanity yet.

Oh I stand corrected. Nice find!

I don’t think they are, but definitely reminiscent.

Damn this one hurts.

I can’t remember if this was purely comical at the time or anticipatory/dark humor.
