People have a hard time holding two thoughts in their heads simultaneously. As in, I simultaneously believe in the efficacy and statistical safety of vaccines while ALSO believing that we shouldn’t give people vaccines they don’t need (all while holding a healthy skepticism of

Anyone can juice an economy by dumping a bunch of (borrowed) money into it. In the same way we could have a great time in Vegas running up credit card debt. Talk to me after the money is paid back (i.e. the complete cycle). And to be clear this is a problem for both political

So innocent students have to explain why they have NRs? Yeah, I had some leftist professors that were unhappy with things outside of my control so they didn’t turn in my grade. These clowns are making a great case against tenure.

When an exchange can behave the way a tech company can citing “terms of service”; it ceases being an exchange and gets in the business of picking winners and losers. Terrible long term.

It’s rare to see a tweet capture the truth so succinctly. Although I wouldn’t say this was true of the private equity partners. Just the PE associates.

You know someone has lost the plot when they resort to the “they don’t even have a Phd defense”. A professor that doesn’t understand the appeal to authority fallacy probably shouldn’t be in classroom.

Actually it’s not the same. I don’t know many investors that think a 60/40 portfolio is going to have higher returns than stocks over a long horizon. You diversify to increase return per unit of volatility. This analogy, while clever, actual doesn’t make sense to anyone guided
I don’t care what political party someone is in. Interrupting the President’s State of the Union Address is conduct unbecoming of anyone that should be in that chamber. The office is bigger than any one person. Absolutely classless.

Another asymmetry: workers don’t invest large sums of money to get businesses going. And I not talking fancy tech but a restaurant, bar, or dry cleaner in a city. Large Corps can pay more, local biz’s can’t. Yet people say they want local. Can’t have it both ways.

To put this into perspective you’d need $495,738 in New York City to equal $200k in Columbus according to Bank rate. People are fixated on “A” number but it’s very location dependent. And higher paying jobs are frequently in expensive places.

When I was 6 years old my father and I read Tolkien every night (really he read to me). I never forgot it and still look back on it fondly. The teamwork and sacrifice nessisary to confront not only the evil in the world but the evil temptations inside ourselves.

I once did CPR on a motorcycle crash victim for over 20 mins. Also did the same for a drowning victim—I’m 1 for 1 which is an F. That kid stayed in my head for years. All the more reason to go on. We are the luck ones. But we do our best.

I feel the same way when I hear someone say “we need rent control”. I think, okay, you are susceptible to feel good impulses over economic reasoning. Although it does save time when dealing with them.

I’ve noticed that no one ever says “I’ll mine the lithium” or “I’ll keep the sewage system working”. All the jobs mentioned are community theater meets farmers market with lattes in hand. Capitalism does a fantastic job—probably too good of a job—of abstracting reality away

You’re yelling into the wind. These idiots talk about “fair share” but when you ask them what is the fair share rate or percentage of taxes paid they mumble. I’d be happy for the top 5% to pay all the taxes if they’d STFU and we got smaller govt.
