United 300, a hilarious spoof.

Air-Car Ready for Mass Production

No, it's not a flying car, but it is a noteworthy piece of eco-technology, assuming it's real. I found myself checking the date to make certain it wasn't April 1st while reading the article.

The article does note that it's not likely to come to the US due to lack of crashworthiness. Wouldn't that be a political fight to watch from the sidelines: Global warming true believers versus the same lawyers who make so much money in class action suits against automakers for safety flaws. I also suspect the compressed air tanks would be likely to fail catastrophically in many crashes, even ones that wouldn't be particularly dangerous in an unmodified Pinto (BOOM!)

Asymmetrical Information on trends in projected social security deficits. Getting marginally worse, not better, in a period of economic expansion.

Please be civil. Avoid profanity - I will delete the vast majority of it, usually by deleting the entire comment. To avoid comment spam, a comments account is required. They are freely available, and you can post comments immediately. Alternatively, you may use your Type Key registration, or sign up for one (They work at most Movable Type sites) All comments made are licensed to the site, but the fact that a comment has been allowed to remain should not be taken as an endorsement from me or the site. There is no point in attempting to foster discussion if only my own viewpoint is to be permitted. If you believe you see something damaging to you or some third party, I will most likely delete it upon request.
Logical failures (straw man, ad hominem, red herring, etcetera) will be pointed out - and I hope you'll point out any such errors I make as well. If there's something you don't understand, ask.
Nonetheless, the idea of comments should be constructive. Aim them at the issue, not the individual. Consider it a challenge to make your criticism constructive. Try to be respectful. Those who make a habit of trollish behavior will be banned.
