@JHWeissmann My friend's business isn't particularly high priced. It's a successful and unique specialty consumer item (don't want to get into specifics) that people want to buy even from halfway around the world, but low enough volume to not justify local distributors.

@JHWeissmann我朋友的生意不是特别贵。这是一种成功且独特的专业消费品（不想详细说明），即使在半个地球上，人们都想购买，但其数量太少，无法证明当地经销商的合理性。

@JHWeissmann The option of irreversible payment allows some sales to proceed that would otherwise simply not. Is this a social good given the risk that customers in other cases would be dealing with a scammer? I don't know, but in specific cases, it is certainly value-add.

@JHWeissmann不可逆付款的选择允许一些销售继续进行，否则根本不会进行。考虑到客户在其他情况下与骗子打交道的风险，这是一种社会利益吗？我不知道，但在特定情况下，这肯定是增值。

@JHWeissmann I can give you another one, from a friend who runs a small business doing mail order e-commerce. Many credit orders, especially international, have to be rejected because the risk of fraud is too high.

@JHWeissmann我可以给你另一个，来自一个经营邮购电子商务的小企业的朋友。由于欺诈风险太高，许多信用证，尤其是国际信用证，不得不被拒绝。

@JHWeissmann In effect, it is a way for the customer to signal "I'm not trying to defraud you" which can be valuable information.

@JHWeissmann实际上，这是一种让客户发出“我没有试图欺骗你”信号的方式，这可能是有价值的信息。

@JHWeissmann If buying from a reputable authorized dealer, there is really no risk of fraud by the seller, all of the risk is due to the buyer. As the customer, I'm happier making an irreversible payment and avoiding the friction.

@JHWeissmann如果从信誉良好的授权经销商处购买，卖方确实没有欺诈风险，所有风险都是买方造成的。作为客户，我更乐意支付不可逆转的款项，避免摩擦。

@JHWeissmann Buying expensive watches or such. Sometimes you can just charge it on a card. Sometimes rejected outright and you have to use wire transfer (or even crypto). Sometimes you go into verification hell, and the whole thing is a sea of friction.

@JHWeissmann购买昂贵的手表之类的东西。有时你可以在一张卡上充值。有时会被彻底拒绝，您必须使用电汇（甚至加密）。有时你会陷入验证的地狱，整个过程充满了摩擦。

@JHWeissmann At best, this is a bit of an additional annoyance/friction. Sometimes it results in the order failing entirely.

@JHWeissmann充其量，这是一个额外的烦恼/摩擦。有时会导致订单完全失败。

@JHWeissmann "Beyond their credit card numbers?"
Yes! If you shop online, particularly big ticket items other than from a seller where you have a long-standing relationship (e.g. Amazon) you will eventually definitely encounter a high-friction "verification" process.

@JHWeissmann“除了他们的信用卡号码？”
对如果你在网上购物，尤其是高价商品，而不是从与你有长期合作关系的卖家（如亚马逊）那里购买，你最终肯定会遇到一个摩擦很大的“验证”过程。

@ryanbeckwith @JHWeissmann Not just returns. Small businesses can also be hit hard by fraud.

@ryanbeckwith@JHWeissmann不仅回来了。小企业也可能受到欺诈的严重打击。

@ryanbeckwith @JHWeissmann Hadn't seen your reply, but it fits 100%

@JHWeissmann Every small business that has been burned by chargebacks.

@JHWeissmann所有被退单烧毁的小企业。

@AP Is this "scorching sun"? Do better. https://t.co/Q6xXx6chFU

@美联社这是“烈日”？做得更好。https://t.co/Q6xXx6chFU

@Cron_Of_Nasdaq @zerohedge 2/3 of the spending was Trump/Mnuchen. Yeah Biden added another 1/3 on top but the bulk of the damage was already done. If you look closely, CPI started rising in June 2020. 2021 was the continuation of that trend.

@Nasdaq@zerohedge的首席执行官特朗普（Trump）/穆努琴（Mnuchen）占支出的三分之二。是的，拜登在顶部又加了1/3，但大部分的破坏已经造成了。如果仔细观察，消费物价指数在2020年6月开始上升。2021是这一趋势的延续。

@goskinsvt @mattyglesias Stocks are certainly not cash equivalent, they're risk taking. Commercial property generates income which is what makes it an investment. It's also not consumption because it's use is production. The output of the company renting is consumption (if an end-user product).

@goskinsvt@mattyglesias的股票当然不是现金等价物，它们是在冒险。商业地产产生的收入使其成为一种投资。它也不是消费，因为它的用途是生产。租赁公司的产出是消费（如果是最终用户产品）。

@elenastahov @AbundantLandUse @FreitasABR Also, plumbing, if missing p-traps or a drain isn't used regularly and the p-trap dries out.

@elenastahov@AbundantLandUse@FreitasABR还有管道，如果缺少p-疏水阀或排水管没有定期使用，p-疏水阀会变干。

@elenastahov @AbundantLandUse @FreitasABR Probably better but there may still be infiltration though shared walls (especially via openings for utility service) and maybe ventilation.

@elenastahov@AbundantLandUse@FreitasABR可能更好，但可能仍然会通过共享墙（尤其是通过公用设施的开口）渗透，也可能会通风。

@goskinsvt @mattyglesias Not true. Most investments (stocks, bonds, commercial property, etc.) are not consumption.

@goskinsvt@mattyglesias不正确。大多数投资（股票、债券、商业地产等）都不是消费。

@Kit_Yates_Maths It's also not remotely 'centrist', meaning in the center of plausibly policy positions. The only thing more extreme would be mandated infection, absurd and suggested by no one.

@Kit\u Yates\u Mathematics它也不是“中间派”，意思是处于貌似合理的政策立场的中心。唯一更极端的是强制感染，这是荒谬的，没有人提出。

@RickyHClark @wsbgnl @thrasherxy Gas prices, quite obviously.

@RickyHClark@wsbgnl@thrasherxy天然气价格，很明显。

@ctsfumo @wsbgnl Could be positioned as advocacy on behalf of workers.

@ctsfumo@wsbgnl可以定位为代表工人的宣传。
