ngl I get what's appealing about the past in a lot of ways but hazing rituals seem like one of those things like polio where it's unambiguously good it's gone
it is kinda funny that people assume that Chinese government is long term and technocratic when it's just very kludge-y at all levels.
equity markets when they learn that Trump can't TACO his way out of this one
Why don't they build anything here? Are they stupid?
Chinese capital markets every few months, for some reason
pivot to the pacific enjoyer circle firing squad at my house 1:00 PM tomorrow
GDPnow is fake when it says thinks I don't like and it's fake when it says things I do like
we need a term for this sort of take that is stronger than "idiot/moron/dumbass" but weaker than the r slur
Trump during the campaign: prices will fall day 1 of my second term!
Trump now: We have to do something about greedy insurance companies not insuring our beautiful oil tankers
have we tried telling insurance companies to be less greedy
everyone should probably be in a union but like, if unionization is gonna be patchy, maybe don't start with the politically vulnerable nonprofit institutions lol.
tbh the 2 corollaries of "American unions work best extracting concessions from high margin businesses that earn lots of monopoly rents" are "tech is a great place to organize" and "the UAW primarily expanding through grad students was probably a bad idea"

I mean it's undeniable that we need to switch to a primarily renewables energy system but I'm not sure I buy the argument that it's less geopolitically risky -- especially considering now how much supply chains are tied up with China
tbh this is the folly of "green industrial policy" for me -- it seems like China is much more willing to suffer massive economic costs to be the winner than anyone else is.
tbh if you think of the price of a stock to be roughly the marketwide estimate of future time-discounted dividends, IDK why anyone would want to invest in a Chinese company that runs low single digit profit margins and reinvests all of it anyways
Guys help me budget things out
Food: $200
Utilities: $150
Data: $150
Rent: $800
Misc expenses(McKinsey renderings of a line city including robot maids, artificial moon, and dinosaur robots): $7000
A pipeline bypassing a massive geopolitically contentious bottleneck: $30
Democracy really only really worked in like, 1960's Sweden, where you have a unicameral parliamentary system and everyone trusted the economists and engineers to handle the nitty gritty of actual policy and the only way to learn about daily events was reading newspapers
I feel like the internet has had a really evil effect on politics but the television probably was worse we've just mostly adjusted.
Baudrillard: totally exonerated, no wrong doing
Equity markets // Future markets right now
I don’t own a car and I live in a mild climate city I say all hydrocarbons should go to a trillion
