Sometimes the grass is greener on the other side because it's been fertilized with more bullshit.
Anonomous

 

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
Aristotle

 

How many times have we heard ‘free tuition,’ ‘free health care,’ and free you-name-it? If a particular good or service is truly free, we can have as much of it as we want without the sacrifice of other goods or services. Take a ‘free’ library; is it really free? The answer is no. Had the library not been built, that $50 million could have purchased something else. That something else sacrificed is the cost of the library. While users of the library might pay a zero price, zero price and free are not one and the same. So when politicians talk about providing something free, ask them to identify the beneficent Santa Claus or tooth fairy.
Walter Williams

 

Every great cause begins as a movement, becomes a business, and eventually degenerates into a racket.
Eric Hoffer.

 

The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries.
Winston Churchill

 

Shoot for the space in between, because that's where the real mystery lies.

And many writers have imagined for themselves republics and principalities that have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for there is such a gap between how one lives and how one ought to live that anyone who abandons what is done for what ought to be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation: for a man who wishes to profess goodness at all times will come to ruin among so many who are not good.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Jensen Comment
I'm also a free-trade advocate except when it makes our military vulnerable to supply disruptions. However, Trump's recent initiative toward tariff negotiations does give the USA some leverage such as when protecting our large tech giants from a proposed 5% (just for openers) surtax in the EU. I don't think that critics at the moment are considering that the outside world likes to kick USA firms (think taxation) harder and harder. The EU was originally formed to reduce tariffs among EU nations while building tariff walls against the outside world. At the moment there's a huge movement within the EU to tax USA companies. The EU is hardly a poster child for lower taxation and tariffs.

New York Times:  Who Should Be Armed in Florida Schools? Not Teachers, Lawmakers Say. But Maybe Librarians ---
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/05/us/guns-florida-schools-teachers.html

Jensen Comment
The advantage of having teachers armed (even only a small number) is that the invader(s) don't know who's armed, how many are armed, and where the armed protectors are located. The invaders may initially bushwhack the librarians first if they're the only ones with concealed weapons.

Of course if there is an police station on a higher education campus along with armed police on patrols there's not a whole lot of added advantage in arming librarians concentrated in a central library.


How to Mislead With Statistics
MIT’s (mostly with Stanford researchers) Uber study couldn’t possibly have been right. It was still important ---
https://qz.com/1222744/mits-uber-study-couldnt-possibly-have-been-right-it-was-still-important/

Jensen Comment
The study appears to have been sloppy and unprofessional rather than intentionally misleading even though it serves the liberal agenda.

The obvious question overlooked is why so many workers volunteer for Uber when there are many opportunities for earning more than $3.37 per hour in this economy where help wanted signs are posted in front of nearly all establishments?
Didn't the researchers think about that? The article points out some other things these researchers overlooked.

The quote at the end of the article is a hoot:

Yes, $3.37 an hour was a crazy number. But when people are primed to believe that driving for Uber is a crappy job, then you better bet they are going to believe a prestigious academic study that comes along telling them exactly that.

If you do a Google search most of the media (which tends to be liberal) thinks the $3.37 is absolute fact. Abe Lincoln said it best:
"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but not . . . "

I'm not sure it takes such powerful cost accounting math as much as it takes common sense. For example, depreciation of a car is a decline in value that combines four important variables:  Make versus Mileage versus Age versus temporal Non-stationary Market prices and Variance in prices. No powerful math can disentangle those confounded variables in spite of what Einstein wished was the case. And the confounding varies with locale. For example, road salt in New Hampshire increases the importance of Mileage relative to Age and Make such that New Hampshire Uber drivers probably get hit harder than Arizona drivers, but nobody can accurately measure the effect of salt in a particular car (that differs from an average car). Other factors intervene such as how often the car is washed and what is paid for the wash. 

And even things like gas prices vary greatly from Texas to Maryland to California.

 

And tips vary a lot with customers and conditions such as any Uber driver tomorrow morning in New Hampshire will likely get a bigger tip during a Nor'easter.

 

Thus its not the power of the math as much as it is the lack of data for millions of variations in non-stationarities of the variables in a given Uber trip.

Jensen Comment
The gig workers are fairly evenly divided between men (49%) and women (51%). Only 8% are seniors, and 23% are youths.
What is especially surprising is that only 21% are from low income households.
This suggests that many gig workers are getting gigs for reasons other than financial desperation. Some may just want to get out of the house or to add to their work skills.
