What's absolutely wild about this is the way they've manufactured a global financial crisis for no reason at all. This isn't 2007-08, where it was a bubble bursting. This is taking a relatively thriving economy and deliberately destroying it in the first three months of your presidency.

Musk loves the pro-Nazi Afd party in Germany, praises criminal and racist Tommy Robinson, and loves the Nazi salute. That's fine. But according to him USAID which literally saves lives around the world is "evil" and a "criminal organization." This is what you voted for, America.

1/ Musk seeking control over nerve systems of the federal government. As someone who spent a decade studying how centralized information systems are used for coercion this is a five alarm fire. We need to name it, identify risks, and seek to mitigate their impacts. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/01/u...

This is heartbreaking and that is the point. Create as much chaos and misery as possible while creating a huge purse of $ to try and plunder.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

Between Landman, Lioness, and The Agency, Paramount+ has quickly captured some of my mindshare.

The left keeps waiting for, is desperate for, the "Wait until they see" moment. It's not going to happen. There is no level of cognitive dissonance that will shock cultists out of the cult. That's just not how cults work. We're 10 years into this and few seem to have learned.

On this quietest of Friday afternoons, I'm going to avoid a rant but ... If your idea of “behavioral finance” is to list a bunch of “biases” and speculate how you might fix them in others, you're working from an old and mostly useless playbook. This is about the nicest I can be on this topic.
