Denominators matter, marginal is important.
Everyone thinks 0% interest rates were the cause of a lot of speculative behavior during the pandemic. Maybe they were. But we're seeing meme stocks again w/interest rates at 4-5%. The dot-com bubble happened w/a 6% 10 year Treasury yield. Rates don't matter as much as you think.

When people think that all history began in the past ten years, they write drivel such as this. It’s like let’s forget neo-liberalism so that Sino shilling looks legit. And, relatively free IP transfer is still pretty much the effective, defacto US policy for 95% of shit.
The idea that lower-income countries 'steal' technology from higher-income countries is ridiculous. Let me explain. Transnational corporations in higher-income countries are completely reliant on labour and production systems in lower-income countries to generate profits. For.

Yep. Lower prices are why prices are insane. The intellectual capacity of the average @nytimes writer whether pundit or journo is alarmingly limited these days.
Lots of really bad economics in today’s NYT op-ed on grocery store competition. Take this passage for example:

Late-night hosts including Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon joined Colbert in solidarity. “I’m going to go ahead and say it,” he quipped: “Cancel culture has gone too far.”

Disband ICE is just as dumb as defund the police. Not only apocalyptically impractical, but sophomorically horrifying to most people.
This is the latest poll that has interested me most. And I find it pretty funny because of how badly the Dems are shooting themselves in the foot.

The migrant crisis was bad for Biden. That would be like a misty rain compared to the storm set off n by relinquishing US sovereignty. Defund police/disband ICE, progressives just produce terrible optics due to no second order thinking ability.
Obama gave Tom Homan an award in 2015 for deportations. ICE is not "good" under Democrats. It is just worse under Republicans. The agency needs to be dismantled.

Profound observation on AI & IP from @mcuban.
What people are missing about AI, IMO, is no company is going to spend what will end up being more than a trillion dollars and accept not being dominant. They will find a way to battle. I don’t know how, other than to guess it will get ugly.

I know we don't expect too much from people in media these days, but @GrahamDavidA doubts good faith on the part of CBS when all he needs to do is confirm whether or not Colbert's show is losing money or not. Losing money (old metrics be damned) = gone.

CBS no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt.

Imaging thinking this and the mental gymnastics or denials of logic it takes to get there.
There are 22 vacant homes for every homeless person in the U.S. Private equity firms own over 35,000 of those vacant homes. It’s not a housing shortage crisis. It’s a housing hoarding and affordability crisis.

Just saying, there are more examples of censorship by the left than the right. On the right, it is a handful of books that are restricted to adults. On the left, it is the ideas accessible, researchable, and debatable by adults that are censored.
For unrelated reasons, I’ve resigned my position at Harvard. But I haven’t been able to speak frankly with *anyone* for c 5 yrs, & it’ll be hard to forget the spectacle of this nation’s ‘intellectual élite’ enforcing moral auto-lobotomy as a condition of entry to polite society.
