Stacker Sports Pod • Episode 54: Throwing games away and NBA tipoff Unbelievably we forgot to do our NFL Cross Off segment. It was between the Browns and the Cards so we'll probably knock them both off next week. We did cover a lot of territory, though: MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, some general analytics complaints, how to dress for the World Series, etc.

Socialism Always Leads to Totalitarian Tyranny https://mises.org/mises-wire/socialism-always-leads-totalitarian-tyranny by Vincent Cook > So-called democratic socialists claim they just want to empower ordinary people through democracy. Socialism, however, invariably must turn into a top-down system of central planning in which the state is all-controlling.

NFL Cross-Offs: Week 6 Who are we eliminating from playoff contention this week? **Cross-Offs So Far** Week 1: Saints Week 2: Dolphins Week 3: Titans Week 4: Jets Week 5: Raiders I think the Browns are the right choice, but there are a couple of other floundering and fairly hopeless teams.

Vanderbilt, which was interpreted to mean that the capitalists didn’t care for their customers.

Exergy I saw someone mention this company on nostr and was curious if stackers know anything about it. I'm not in immediate need of heating upgrades, but I definitely want to go this direction whenever we do need to replace our water heater.

The "Acid Rain" Scare and the Science-Industrial Complex https://mises.org/mises-wire/acid-rain-scare-and-science-industrial-complex by William L. Anderson > “Science” is now indistinguishable from politics. As the “acid rain” hysteria showed back in the 1970s and 1980s, “follow the science” is just a political slogan, unrelated to actual science. I don't know what the solution is to this problem, but science as an enterprise needs to grapple with the actual incentives at play by the actors within it. It's downright utopian to imagine scientists to simply be dispassionate investigators seeking the truth.
