  • Projects will have a budget that will have an expected return on investment (ROI) over a fixed period of time for private sector. Public projects raise a bond, and you can’t exceed the bond.

    Raise steel 10-25% and you can blow past the budget window, because steel construction parts go up to match. Create uncertainty about the future market, and your ROI calculation is toast.

    It frustrates me when people say “well just buy american steel,” as if people were not already buying american steel as well as foreign. Now there’s not enough steel so prices go up. There’s no strategic pile of steel reserve. If a store normally sells 100 apples a day and suddenly there are 76, would you say “just buy american apples” when the price went up and there were shortages?

  • I know you guys are arguing, but I want to compliment both of you for pulling from good sources and trying to make relevant point to each other - I just went looking for anything useful on reddit and it’s full of clear brigading trying to crow the loudest about how they won and the other side wants to punch your dog.

    So honestly, thank you for both being to a higher standard, even when you disagree.

  • Do we have a good instance for tangible rumors? Major media is so stale that if it was bread you could use it as a weapon, and anything on reddit is brigaded by both sides. I was hoping Institute for the Study of War would start daily updates, but they seem set on staying on Ukraine and Iran for now. Any help appreciated, because this is a pile of fertilizer soaked in diesel and both sides are throwing grenades at it.

  • It’s not paid time off.

    Edit: I used to work a salary position in Texas. On slow days it was common to tell the hourly employees we had nothing for them right now and to go home. The salary employees always had something to do.

  • There was a website at some point that would put up themed meeting phrases each week, with points if anyone used them and caught it. I still remember a few of them.

    “I don’t want a pot of gold at the end of this rainbow, I expect a pot of uranium.”

    “We either play barbie or go home. I didn’t get come here today to be Skipper.”

    “I don’t say we build a barbie dream house, I want use to build a barbie on ecstasy house.”

    “Is this a queen alien problem? Or more of a face hugger we can ignore for a while?”
