Buttigieg: You can see it in the carnival of corruption that is Washington, D.C., today. The leader of the free world flying around in a secondhand jumbo jet from a foreign country while he makes a billion dollars on crypto deals propped up by foreign leaders.

I mean, OK? 'terrorism prevention' funding was probably just going to local cops for their MRAPs or whatever

absolutely not a sign that private equity is a bubble built on a pyramid scheme!
Until very recently, the industry was growing so fast that funds were able to pay out investor withdrawals with cash from new investors, as opposed to having to sell down investment portfolios or otherwise tap the proceeds of their loans.

That is no longer possible, as investors overall are now pulling more money from the industry than they are putting in.

This brings me to my modest proposal. Let me just say it like this: No to the death penalty as a possibility for humans; yes to the death penalty as a possibility for corporations and billionaires. Let's introduce a cost of doing business that exceeds the gain to be realized.

The village elder watched the crowd gather to celebrate Burning Day, and the fires that had freed humanity from the misery monster. “First we #partake in some wine,” he said, “and then we burn the monster again!” It was only an effigy, but some people swore they could hear the AI scream. #vss365

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court. That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits. Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
