    Well, that demonstrates a couple of things. First, it demonstrates your ignorance of the value of a viable automobile industry in this country and what it does for the economy. Odds are strong that you would end up down far more than $100 if GM, Ford, and Chrysler go under. Secondly, you can like reduces cost to dollar per person all you want, but that doesn't make it a valid argument. Thirdly, your right to vote isn't being denied by having a replacement appointed. Hell, if Obama didn't win, you wouldn't have gotten to vote for another two years anyway. Your vote will make zero difference in the grand scheme of things, because a 1st term, special election Senator with 1/3 of a term to serve is going to exercise effectively no power and bring little, if anything, of value to Illinois. So, in order for you to feel warm inside about your "right to vote" - which is pretty irrelevant in this case - taxpayers should have to shell out $25 million?



    You're not skimping on anything. There was never a scheduled election, nor is there a provision for a special election. Let's please use correct language, otherwise you'll confuse stupid people. And confusing stupid people is another real good way to wind up with more government spending.



    Don't see why not. You are arguing in favor of a costly special election - unless you are willing to tell me that $25 million is not very much money, in which case, let's use it for a cause you disagree with and see if you have the same attitude - for no practical purpose, and I'm calling you out on it.
    What the fvck? Have you turned into a socialist now? I want the deaf gay boy back as my president, now you.

        I don't think he'd be doing too much damage. And of course, he'll end up in jail by the end of it. What's not to like?

        I agree. No favoritism. Of course, MarkG would be even better...

          I have an understanding with him. Not as deep as understanding with you, but growing.
          You're going to need to get much tighter before I get all Tonja Harding on his ass.

            It's a lovey term. Like when we were at your broken down house with room-mates and you petted the cat on the broken down coach and it just purred.

                I haven't read that one yet (or missed it). Probably requires a power of concentration like the if then else expect on Mondays but not if you're redheaded GRE logic test, which evades me even sober. (I feign laziness...in animal like cunning duplicitgy.)

                    (It changed even as I lived there...and I think the mascot of the Fairfax Co HS is the rebels. And talk to Martha Pennino about "massive resistance") There was a time when Arlington was fairfac and now Loudon is.

                      Got 800 on that part. Not just 800, but I'm pretty sure I answered every single question correctly. It was adaptive computer test so the questions got harder as you answered correctly. Missed a couple on the verbal (got 760) and it was obvious after you missed one. By the end of logic section they were asking me crazy questions and I barely managed to demonstrate to myself at the last second on the last question that they had not provided sufficient information to solve problem. Tricky bastards. That was always one of the options, but was not the correct answer to any of the previous questions.

                              Convenience yield is what you add in to cost of carry to make futures prices behave like they would in perfect arb situation. They only exist when you are not free to sell an asset short at market price

                              EDIT: well, not quite true. You can also mess things up by introducing spread between borrowing and lending and other such minor details

                              EDIT 2: actually, now that I think of it you usually write it as part of the cost of carry

                                You are a very bright fellow and capable of much greater things than that sort of exam. I do ok on those tests, but I cheat. I use tricks of testsmanship and the like.
