They expect that 55% will renew their leases but 65% actually do.
This seems like a normal (and historically good!) retention rate for urban multifamily in the Sunbelt? Camden reports a retention rate of about ~65%, which is a record high, and MAA's rate is just under 60%.

Interestingly, the inflation-adjusted Federal minimum wage when the share of Federal minimum wage earners peaked was $12.
(Unfortunately, this series only goes back to 1979, as the farm and non-farm wages were merged in 1978.)

Well, there's some things money doesn't always buy.
And even during the mid-90s recession in Canada, it was a lot closer in relative terms; the US was more like 30% higher output, rather than 50%.

Not the point, but I think it's a problem that, until this year, if I saw this person in my car window, I would assume he was a carjacker, and now I wouldn't know.

(FWIW our plan did update its limit; it's just NJ being bad/lazy. It's not because the $7,500 limit conflicts with state income tax law, because NJ doesn't let you deduct DCFSA contributions anyway.)

Notably, this is the opposite of time-of-use pricing now!
I imagine the shift from car charging during the night (when the car is at home) to during the day (when it often is not) may prove troublesome for some vehicle owners.

The study is about nighttime effectiveness, but I would like to mention that during the daytime, the Tesla Model 3 was the only vehicle that ever failed to apply automatic braking and was the only one that ever hit the dummy.

Even that relied on social pressure.
Most people paid the fare.
When people got busted for not paying the fare, they still almost always cooperated with officers.
On the rare occasions people didn't comply, other passengers would successfully pressure them to alight.

Imagine publishing this at 6:45 on a day that the NASDAQ would have its fourth-largest fall and the S&P would fall almost 3% due to a tariff announcement. Imagine how embarrassed you would feel. Imagine having to show your face in public after such a humiliating rebuttal of your own pathetic hubris.
