Longtime reader of DF, and I _get_ that X is where some vital conversations about tech are happening. It is what it is. But to borrow & tweak the words of a friend: not everyone on X is a Nazi. All of them are people for whom the Nazism isn’t a dealbreaker.

Big farm state senators keep voting for the war so I don’t have sympathy for the farmers they represent. If they want relief, they could choose it. But they want Trump, so they don’t. We all have to live with the consequences of our choices. Republicans and their supporters are no exception.

No one is thinking about this now but: the Fed will not raise interest rates to bring down inflation while Trump is in office. It will raise them sharply one he’s gone, trigger a recession, and sabotage the next Democratic president.

Abdul El-Sayed on capitalism: “I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.”
We’ve spoken about capitalism versus socialism.

Do you want to talk about capitalism? Let’s talk about capitalism. Are you recording? Capitalism is about leveraging the laws of supply and demand to efficiently allocate capital expenditure to maximize value. When capitalism works, it’s because you have free entry and exit into markets. So if you believe in capitalism, you have to believe in government regulation to protect markets. In fact, right now, we have exactly the opposite. You don’t have to be a socialist to believe that you should be taxing billionaires their wealth. In fact, if you are a capitalist, you should believe in that. So, I’m capitalist who just knows about capitalism. I have a bad habit of reading, I’m so sorry.

we closed schools to protect kids, and also kept them closed as the lower mortality rate for kids became clearer because so did kids' ability to spread to others without becoming seriously ill. it's possible a better policy could be crafted with hindsight, but the next pandemic won't be covid-19
