...a constant rush to tell everyone we need to slow down. It isn’t hypocrisy in a moral sense. We know where we’re heading. What fails is something more inner: the part of us that keeps reaching for the next thing.

Oil revenue is the war budget. Each refinery strike costs Moscow a missile it cannot afford. No US president gets to veto a sovereign state defending itself, and Kyiv isnt asking permission.

Worker productivity has exploded over my lifetime, but that never translates into higher pay or shorter hours. The benefits are reaped by the investor class while workers wages are left trailing in the dust. Oligarchs said AI will make work “optional” in the future. I say we tax that into reality.
