Otherwise, you have to choose: either you invite one adult from the household, but then the other may be unaware of the event details, or you invite both, but then you must rely on them to discover it to avoid a scenario where they both RSVP for themselves and a partner and a kid, and you end up double counting.
and did you see the transparency report Google released with the censored bar on the secret us gov requests? I loved how you could see bits of the graph peeking through :)
Many industries (food, steel, electronics, energy, mining) are considered to have military strategic importance.
For instance, Japan works very hard to grow rice even though it would be much cheaper to import rice from China. It's because not being able to feed your own population is bad in a war. Energy (oil) is the same way.
The line between military and industry is often not very clear.
Imagine I need a car and I hear there is a 30% off sale in January. Yes, I'll wait. Im considering the lost marginal value to me (keeping my shitty car in December) vs marginal gain (saving 30%). That's what deflation feels like.
But as far as I can see, you wouldn't have bought the car without deflation (or a sale, as it were), because you couldn't afford it. So in this case it causes you to spend money that you wouldn't have spent otherwise.
