China and India are funding Putin’s slaughter of innocent Ukrainians. If that’s the future then I’ll stand athwart it yelling “stop!”

Yeah donors on both sides are a problem, but there is no both sides in California. It’s the Democrats and their big donors all the way down. And that is the problem. Even good new laws (new laws are rarely good imo) are only secondary to th

California politicians are the worst. They have no accountability because it’s just one party and they are beholden to nobody but big donors and Gavin Newson’s narcissistic ambitions.

AI is about 30 times as big a deal as .com. The subprime thing was just the finance sector learning how to make lines go up on charts (add value).

This is great. I feel like we need more of the heterodox and alt-center opinions that the Free Press brings.

Well, most users drive on it and we know it slows reaction time so it’s easy to believe the headline. Agree bad science is often worse than no science.

This would be interesting IFF those drivers did not have alcohol in their system too. I can’t tell if that’s the case from the attached article. I also can’t tell whether the drivers were at fault or e.g. if they froze when another vehicle

Friedman was not an Austrian. You are ignorant of basic facts. Austrians are fringe and have almost no influence within mainstream econ, and beyond that Austrians are closer to Chomsky than Burke.

Hilariously wrong to anyone who has spent any portion of their career working with actual economists. Every working economist is at the very least classic liberal/neo-liberal. It is the basis of the profession. Political economists don

While there is no consensus on whether Angela Merkel was "too friendly" to Russia— critics argue that her policies left Germany and Europe too dependent on Russian energy and that she failed to take a sufficiently tough stance aga

It’s just like Groundhogs Day. They forget as quickly as you teach them, and the next day it starts over.

If only they started spending more on defense 10 years ago when they were being called on to do so instead of pretending Brexit and anti-immigrant sentiments were their biggest enemy rather than Russian energy dependence.

Exactly what you’d expect given any moderated system. Certainly you can learn what will not be accepted and moderate one’s approach without sctually shifting ideologically.

Victims not wanting prosecution doesn’t absolve the perpetrator as wife beaters learn all the time. I also think Skhreli’s biggest mistake was threatening Hillary Clinton.

I remember when UBI was consuming too much bandwidth. Foreplay to the AI saturation now. Suppose it was useful to get the hype up enough to arrive where we are. Still odd we aren’t having any UBI threads now, when it’s actually relevant.

Not sure about destroying everything. Def benefitting few at the great, great expense of the many. But trickle down benefits are a thing. And I see no way to avoid the future; the genie’s out the bottle.

The tarrifs may be ruled unconstitutional in November and the bond market might react abruptly if the US has to pay back much of the 150 billion or so collected from tariff payers so far. The Supreme Court hears the case on November 6th. If

California is what, the world’s sixth largest economy? But we (our political leadership broadly speaking) seem quite inept despite their abundant resources. Gotta to spend dollars on campaigning and gerrymandering instead, or you know losin

People say Hamas is inherently genocidal. Some believe the state of Israel to be inherently genocidal. I’m not responding to those claims. The thread was discussing the recent UN report, and that was the context of my comment.

Kissing a middle age woman (or other high risk person)? Very true, but it antecedes as often as it succeeds kissing, depending on whether it antecedes or succeeds marriage vows. Ever smell a husband’s breath?

Public transit is intersectional. It helps poor and elderly people while also being climate friendly (assuming enough ridership). It’s often not used enough to satisfy either goal. California’s high speed rail boondoggle comes to mind as a
