If there is one thing that we learned from the 20th century it is that societies that gave more private control over how resources were used did better than those that had more state control over how resources were used. Perhaps in the 21st

Part of it was that the China tariffs were canceled in May after around a month of operation, and that was short enough that it could be just covered by the inventory stockpiling that companies did on a massive scale in Q1. If they had gone

#3 isn't quite right because a rise in inflation changes the discount rates that are applied to future cash flows in the equity valuation process. And on top of that, for risk-averse investors the fundamental uncertainty we are living

I mean you’re right but it seems like the equilibrium we’re heading towards is one where the opposite is true and our internet and society looks more like China’s. Principles unfortunately mean little in the face of societal and technologic

>Still, I find it hard to accept we should compartmentalize and not think about who those rockets were built for and with what purpose. Yet that is exactly what the US did and we got the Saturn V out of doing so.

I mean if anything it’s harder today in many ways for the government than it was during the Snowden days, because that prompted tech people to take internet security seriously. Look at the cost trends for 0days over the past ten years.
