It was a common (and natural) reaction leading up to and post 2008. Today you won't see as many people on prime time cursing the Fed. We already had the Free Banking Era where individual Banks issued their own coin. It made the financi

Actual Teachers don't just know a subject, they know something about Pedagogy. And Pedagogy is all about getting the student into constant practice rituals until they have mastered the subject. Without practice there is no education&#x

Buying politicians, media and govt contracts has been going on for as long as govt has existed. It hasn't suddenly begun in 2024, and institutions have lasted those hundreds of years, while being under constant assault by one mindlessl

15-16 Billion was spent this cycle according to public data. They talk about the donors a lot. But they hardly tell anyone the biggest beneficiary is the Media. This year we also had the EU, Indian, UK and French elections and the total cos

Its easy to get the point across to politicians. Ask them to check how much their own Ad spend is increasing every year. And ask them to check how much New Content they need to produce everyday. And how much that has increased over the last

Nature hasn't been able to get rid of parasites for billions of years. Why? The reason they exist is, there are always parts of ever changing complex systems that can be exploited, faster than any reaction is possible. Same story with

Whats your solution then, when Taiwan falls to China tomorrow and the chips stop flowing in? The parasite execs are a problem, but a much smaller problem than if the Chinese blocks flow of essential chips. It will cause all kinds of cascadi

Its both nature/genes and nurture/environment. Nature is what you get when you go and buy a new laptop. Nurture is what you get after it fills up with shit over the years. So you got to be careful about what you install and allow

Unlike many other sectors where prices drop thanks to constant advances in Tech, what is weird is how Tech hasn't made a dent in Housing. Health I can understand cause it takes a long time to produce a Doc, and there is a high demand a

There is no big price here. Weaker economies are always dependent on stronger ones for bail outs whenever they face issues. Its not the other way around. If it was the other way around then sure there is a price. The only interesting thing
