> The greatest city. in America!

Maybe I'm being closed-minded, but I've been to many of the other great cities of the world, and I don't believe there's any city as great as NYC.

I legit love walking outside in the rain, so Saturday was perfect for me. Sunday was okay.

Interest rates are high in the context of the past decade, but not so much in the context of the last century.

The St Louis Fed has this chart of the fed funds rate going back 70 years, and where we're currently at is still fairly low.

In which store would one find these drugs? I just want to make sure that I don't accidentally go into one of these stores.

And no LSD...

There are some good examples of mass refugee relocation though. Vietnamese were virtually nonexistent in the US until the post-war refugee surge, and they have since settled and integrated quite well. Median household income for Vietnamese Americans is now $72k, which is well above the average, and even above the $66k for White Americans.

Obviously income is not the end all be all number for how well it was all handled, but I think it's a pretty decent proxy.

Interesting article I read last week about the Canadian company on here (Cameco) doing a big acquisition that some people hope signals a resurgence in nuclear power generation. Here's a snippet of the article:

> A deal by Brookfield Renewable Partners and Cameco Corp. to buy nuclear-services firm Westinghouse Electric Co. is the latest sign of revival in the nuclear-power industry after years of decline.

> The matchup would create something of a Western nuclear powerhouse, pairing a key nuclear-power service provider with the largest publicly traded uranium company and one of the world’s biggest owners of wind and solar projects. The transaction is a bet that nuclear will play an important role in the energy transition away from fossil fuels. Brookfield and Cameco announced the deal Tuesday, saying the total enterprise value for Westinghouse is roughly $7.88 billion.

> Nuclear power has been in retreat globally, with more projects closing than opening. But a push for carbon-free electric power along with nuclear’s ability to produce round-the-clock have prompted a broad rethink of the technology. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has also exposed the fragility of the nuclear fuel supply chain, in which Russia is a major player.

I understand that they have similar meanings. I still found it strange to put bet in quotes.

> a “bet” isn’t worth anything

I'm curious why you put this in quotes, as if the above poster made some sort of a bet.
