Ass economics

\n

Whenever doing something you can either half-ass it or whole-ass it. Half-assing something is\nreally tempting because you save yourself one half-ass worth of time in the short term to spend\ndoing something else. But when you half-ass something now, then down the line it becomes more\nlikely that the thing you half-assed will break or fail or you'll get caught and then your\nass is in the grass.

\n

The trouble is it doesn't necessarily take only another half-ass to fix the issue. Usually it\nis a whole-ass load of work to fix the issue because first you have to clean up the mess and second\nyou have to re-do what you half-assed originally. So all in all, half assing something now will really\ncost you one and a half asses in total work all together.

\n

Now on the other hand, you can whole-ass the whole thing now, making sure you get everything right on\nthe first go. Then it won't break down and you don't have to fix anything and you'll end up saving your\nown ass in the future.
