Dear conference organisers,
Please stop hosting your events in Texas (yes, even Austin).

I'd not even seen the sled in the forest before, a visitor pointed it out. Slightly overgrown!
After using that (unsuccessfully) on the concrete beams, I used the rest of the twilight to pull these rollers out of the forest, too. Seemed like a good idea to do this before the meadow starts sprouting again.
They have holes for filling with water ballast. Heck knows where the plugs for them are though. Probably disintegrated.

“ It’s simply assumed, by most sides of the political spectrum, that the growth of ‘real’ GDP is what constitutes economic progress.
We think this is a mistake. When socialists and the Left use ‘real’ GDP as a measure of progress, or even as a quantity of empirical analysis, they are implicitly buying into the very capitalist paradigm that they otherwise reject. Let us explain.”
Evergreen and worth the read.

Why We Should Abandon Real GDP As A Measure of Economic Activity – Economics from the Top Down
For all that it purports to say, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) fails to explain anything relevant about the world.Blair Fix (Economics from the Top Down)
“ According to some of the dominant interpretations of neoclassical theory, the price of a commodity reveals the utility (i.e. pleasure) that a consumer derives from it. ”
So on the price goes up, a product’s utility goes up *by definition*.
But with inflation, all prices are going up, suggesting that everything is always becoming better. @pluralistic
