Not being argumentative but how is it not noticeable to cars if the speed limited got reduced ? I mean that's usually pretty noticeable unless it's a "traffic at walking pace" mess

I confess I remain confused as to the actual status of the land.
Is it "commons" ie owned by all who wish to use it, or is it private land owned by a single individual ?
The love for subtitles took off at the same time Hollywood decided to mix their audio so you can't fucking hear the voices, coincidence that subtitles have surged ? I don't think so. Watch an 80s or 90s movie where you can actually hear the dialogue. Better isn't it ?
Noting that they would have been sent 8 months ago if the Americans hadn't wiggled and wibbled about giving permission.
"Before the shipping process could begin, Australia had to wait for Washington's approval to export the US-made tanks to a third country, which was granted despite American officials remaining privately frustrated about the donation."
Biden may have been better than the current cult leader but I'm still deeply unimpressed with the restrictions on 3rd parties transferring kit to Ukraine
These models don't work because they ignore the MOST significant driver of inflation
Wellll... they work just fine for their intended purpose - demonstrate the correlation between 2 variables in an understandable way.
What you are (correctly) referencing is that there is a much more complex system in reality than the simplified model - they literally exist to try and explain difficult concepts in digestible ways. Everyone's eyes glaze over if you try to do the "if this, then that, but if this then the other (at 45 variables level).
So yes, inflation is wildly more complex than just money supply or demand push inflation (the flavour the Phillips curve is looking at).
But the people in this thread bitching about economists dumbing stuff down so they can understand it resulting in simplistic models that don't reflect the real world would be just as quick to bitch about how they're in an ivory tower because they refuse to explain things in laymans terms.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
Also the Phillips curve is a two variable snapshot from a multi variate world (iow a simplification so freshmen can understand). The right hand graph is clearly not holding the other non graphed variables constant, hence you don't get anything useful.
Economics as taught below PhD level is about simplifying down concepts to make a complex system understandable.
Phillips curve says that as unemployment gets worse the ability of suppliers to raise prices gets weaker because consumers have less money.
Of course consumer demand is only one facet of inflation, there's a whole system of variables there.

She posted on twitter a number times that "handmaids tale was not meant to be an instruction manual"
She gave up eventually. She does actively speak out against fascism theocracies and Trump, but at her age I can understand being worn out fighting it
Huh ? She's still chair ?

Sooo... Being able to hear the audio if you don't have surround sound isn't a reason ?
I really don't like this timeline, can I have a new one please ?
