Low Interest Rates vs. Alcohol: Which Is More Dangerous?

June 12, 2015
Here’s what CEOs said about the economy this week

Low interest rates make everything look attractive

in today’s low interest rate environment, you could make any acquisition look attractive and that’s dangerous. You have got to use more of a cost of funds over a longer period of time to really look at what returns you might get from an acquisition” —Wells Fargo (Bank)


Urban Dictionary: Beer Goggles

phenomenon in which one's consumption of alcohol makes physically unattractive persons appear beautiful, summed up by the phrase, "there are no ugly women at closing time"

Ah... haven't been here for a while and you've created quite a backlog for me to look through.

Its like when I wait until episode 8 of Game of Thrones comes out to start watching episode 1.

But unlike Game of Thrones I'm reading your posts backwards (Not on the word-to-word level --- just on the most-recent-post-first level).

I notice you tag every single post 'sarcasm'.

I recommend that if you're ever NOT sarcastic in a post (stranger things have happened) that you still label that post 'sarcasm'. Because the label itself would make it sarcastic :P

Parker Bohn,

Hahaha!

I wonder what would happen if I was allowed to use the sarcasm label twice for a given post?

If two wrongs can make a right, then what would two sarcasms make? ;)
