The market's irrational exuberance is going to come to an end next year when Powell leaves the Fed and they realize he was keeping the lid on inflation.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, yadda yadda, but this isn't just irrational; this is counter- factual.

Some will make the incorrect and frankly totally irrational or outright bigoted arguments though: the Jews control us and we need to fight back, the Israelis tricked the United States into doing these things, "God" doesn't want this relationship anymore, etcetera.

Your regular reminder that NZ's immigration system is cruel and irrational and as bad as anything you might have read about regarding less "enlightened" countries; the only difference being it is enacted through bureaucratic means rather than physical ones.

i don't think "why is the left against ___" is as much of a fruitful question as "why are so many seemingly irrational left wing positions explained by online bullying?"
I don’t understand the “oh, you have a LINE on a GRAPH, you think that MEANS anything?!” people who also self-id as some kind of socialist/communist. how exactly are you going to run the command economy, dude? macroeconomic policy made on vibes?
I don't think this a particularly accurate description.

Shutting down wind farms that are nearly complete makes absolutely no sense. This irrational hostility toward solar, wind, and battery storage is increasing already high electricity rates. We need more energy fueled by the cheapest sources to keep utility bills affordable.
Trump administration halts offshore wind projects from Virginia to New England, in major blow to clean power
The move is yet another escalation from President Donald Trump, who has vowed to throttle wind projects despite his party's worries about electricity affordability.

Winning a seat by comfortable high single digits gets you the exact same one vote in Congress as somebody winning their seat by Assad margins. Chasing after the latter would be completely irrational if your goal is to maximize translating votes into policy wins.

ZIRP went bye-bye and these studios with big teams gotta justify them while also meeting the irrational demands of a consumer marketplace that can’t decide which way is up

To believe in faeries is to step into an enchanted space where the rational mind meets the irrational heart, and all things become possible.

The fury I feel at your characterizing of this as "overtly irrational" as I spend my holiday break revamping my intro class AGAIN so that I can deter students from using AI to CHEAT after what I already tried didn't work last semester... have some RESPECT.

Tbh in general I think a lot of "high-minded" liberal discourse, in a lot of domains, is people treating game theoretically sound responses to things as emotionally irrational. Eg vindictiveness, negative polarization, etc
Tbh I think attempting to rig the BLS should be responded to by absolute contempt for anything the BLS publishes, as a basic matter of game theory
tbh my favourite type of account on here has to be the "BLS has fallen, now we must rely on payday loan company stats"

Hell. Do it right now. I'll happily make room for them over the holidays like a decent human being. This only seems irrational to white nationalists.

Shamp is clearly Deranged about Trump.
But what would really freak them out would be if the bill passed and they hired someone who ACTUALLY investigated why people believe irrational things about Trump, like that he's not racist, knows what he's doing, isn't a hate-monger...

cheering on an irrational harassment mob that's currently pointed at people you dislike while admitting that they're behaving irrationally isn't actually you doing a solid for the people whose irrational mob you're approving of, btw. that's you being sadistic & having others take the risk for you

You can easily find a copy at most libraries or your favorite bookstore. As it happens, Nobel Laureate Robert Schiller praised OTHER PEOPLE’S HOUSES in his most recent edition of IRRATIONAL EXUBERANCE.

Basically the entire time since 2014 people have repeatedly told me I'm being irrational and paranoid for basically just literally quoting things Vladimir Putin says he plans to do and going "he clearly plans to do them" after I last witnessed him doing them
Like the great thing about this whole rant is that you don't need US intelligence to tell you it's wrong. You can literally just google anything Putin has said in the last couple of days.
