The left would stop fighting for the proletariat if they ever got to meet the rabble

What third world country are you posting from?

You tell a WASP in 1905 that a Pole, Irishman, Ukrainian, Italian, Slovak, Greek or Bavarian is his racial equal and he is shooting you in the head

Long term ownership of land creates the most beautiful landscapes. There is a sense of stewardship. Enjoying the work of previous generations. Planting for generations yet to be born.

Seems like a really big deal that 10% of Meta's revenue comes from outright scams. And that's their *internal* estimate, who knows what a fair outside report would say. This should shift your beliefs on whether our current social media set up is net positive for humanity.

They’re mostly embarrassed about it now, but you need to really grasp the effect that Hamilton had on the urban liberal psyche. This is from an Atlantic article in 2019. The article isn’t even about Hamilton, the author just felt the need to go on about it *this* much.

Seems like the political lane to go all out on the digital opium companies is wide open

Evidence for shared ownership channel raising market power in real estate — acquisitions of competing properties raises prices and lowers occupancy By Fern Ramoutar dropbox.com/scl/fi/jny7mkdv3…

I don't think overproduction of elites is a problem, it's just none of these elites are doing anything useful. In fact, many of them are actively engaged in work harmful to their country if not the world.

Yeah this is why we’re saying if crypto fails it’s even worse than if it succeeds. Back in the 90s you could get a beater car for $1,500 now it is around $10K

The sb79 hype was hilarious. They do this every year then memory hole it.

Every month California passes new "YIMBY" measures, and every month actually existing housing permits drop further. In January, 12k homes went up in smoke in Malibu. Zero impact. fred.stlouisfed.org/series/C…

The fate of “yimby” is to become just another buzzword that urban left-liberals throw into their campaign soup. Token upzonings will be treated like grand extensions of moderation and compromise even as actual housing starts fall. The Sun Belt will become the center of America.

Every smart person in America only wants to work in tech or finance. The jobs pay well, but the former is mostly digital slop, the latter mostly legalized white collar crime. The incentives are all misaligned. Until that is fixed, if it ever gets fixed, there will be no golden age. The late stage empire looting continues.

NYC is like if they took SF and got rid of all the performative tech nerds and replaced them with good looking people that you’d actually enjoy hanging out with

Since the 80s, yields boomed in key Brazilian crops. Brazil became a major exporter. Largely due to a few hundred smart people at a research institute, Embrapa, set up in the 70s. What upper tail human capital can do for your nation.

Seems so long ago ✨

The Sierra Club's only accomplishment, other than killing off nuclear power, is outsourcing most of American mining, logging, and manufacturing to China and Russia and other places with zero environmental regulations and horrific human rights abuses.
