giant redwoods = coast redwoods = sequoia sempervirens

Giant Redwoods = Giant Sequioa = sequoiadendron gigantium


I assume the case difference is just typing and not some sort of case-sensitivity in taxonomy.

Seems like there is some imprecise naming going on which is why I wasn't sure.


Used Hondas and Toyotas did not depreciate 2010-2013 because the Cash-for-Clunkers débâcle reduced the supply of used cars, keeping up their price.

The suggestion that destroying operational vehicles would be a net gain for the economy is an excellent illustration of the broken window fallacy.

Cash-for-clunkers helped middle and upper-middle class people, including some friends of mine, who wanted to buy new cars. The cost of the program was born mostly by poor people, as is often the case.


Don't you just love central planning? It's always the poor that it hurts the most.


I called Verizon and they said this is a phishing scam... Has anyone else independently verified the original claim with Verizon, other than through their website/privacy TOS?


This isn't a scam - I found that link last night when I was going through my billing paperwork from Verizon.


Wow. They claim that a page on the verizonwireless.com/vzw.com domain with a class 3 SSL certificate is a "phishing scam". This is probably some form of scummy damage control - convincing uninformed customers that it had nothing to do with them.
