Diminishing Returns

“Diminishing Returns – noun (1) any rate of profit, production, benefits, etc., that beyond a certain point fails to increase proportionately with added investment, effort, or skill.” I would argue that this law readily applies outside its economic origin and is presently applicable to our political discourse. If the current political discussion were governed by Robert’s Rules of Order, we may agree that we have past the point of “diminishing return” and simply call for the question. In short, we’d be better served getting this election over… I just don’t see any significant numbers of hearts and minds being changed at this point.
