@Horace said in Costco Returns: I guess that’s a small price for Costco to pay for the positive PR. Definitely seems to be working for them. Whish I had purchased stock in them a while ago. [image: Costco-Wholesale-Corporation-20-years-stock-chart.png]

That was a crazy incident. Hearing a lot about it. Really really nice hotel. Actually right next to the Erawan Shrine, which was bombed a few years ago.

Correct.

The majority of Asian education system (especially north Asia) is based on memory learning and group learning. It does not encourage individual thinking. That is why the US still leads in innovation. If things are going along they are supposed to, Asian companies and people do great. But, when things go different from what is expected, it is more difficult to react and adjust.

Quantity has its own quality.

Humor and intelligence go hand-in-hand.

What’s the law?

Interestingly, John Tyler went almost 4 years without a VP (recall he was elevated to POTUS after Harrison died weeks into his term) because until the 25th amendment was passed there was no provision to select a new one.

I think a lot of downtowns are going to shift toward residential. If the woke DAs don’t destroy them.

@Jolly said in Piled higher and Deeper: We're doing a lousy job educating people, if we want to stay up with the best of the world in STEM. STEM is a code word that means men are bad.
