@Nate_Cohn When I worked as a tour guide, I always got WAY more tips when I gave a mediocre tour in great weather than if I managed to give an amazing tour in the rain or cold.
@CharlieVergos @Nate_Cohn Wow. Unfortunately, I think you're pointing out a fundamental aspect of human nature. And it doesn't bode well for voters applying good judgement at a time when we need that to save democracy.
@CharlieVergos @chrislhayes @Nate_Cohn True. Me too. Fascinating. Also kinda depressing because it's so irrational.
@CharlieVergos @chrislhayes @Nate_Cohn Some people just love to blame someone. I guess they felt you were somehow responsible for the weather?
@CharlieVergos @Nate_Cohn We are still grappling with normalcy, because it is in the throes of being redefined. Really hard to wrap our heads around so much happening all at once, relatively speaking.
@CharlieVergos @chrislhayes @Nate_Cohn Thank God you never became a mohel.
@CharlieVergos @chrislhayes @Nate_Cohn Is this all about gas prices...because if it is we're screwed as as a nation
@CharlieVergos @Nate_Cohn Excellent insight! And individuals surveyed will rate themselves 20% more satisfied w their lives on sunny days over rainy. More mind blowing is if you just remind them of a sunny day satisfaction goes way up even when rainy. Book- Presuasion by Robert Cialdini Chap. 9
