Funny that Michael Tracey blames the perpetrator for the involuntary consequences of doxxing him, yet blames the victim of gang-rape for the involuntary consequences of getting drunk in the proximity of frat boys.

My kingdom for a law that forces every company to disclose last fiscal year's dividend payments as a share of profits on every PR statement they release. "We are committed to our customers by investing X amount" will fall flat when it becomes obvious half their profits went to shareholders.

This has been pretty obvious with all the crackpot dictators Trump cavorts with but also his bizarre fawning over Mandami whose popularity and looks he probably wishes he had. Also explains why he likes zero women at all, even populist right ones (ex: Meloni): he wouldn't ever want to be one.

These people know how insurance works. Their voters know how insurance works. This is just a test of how much cruelty they're willing to sign on to by continuing to support MAGA.

I know shitting on economics is par for the course on this site but literally no economist I know (and I probably know more than this guy) has ever once described themselves as a "scientist" unless it's absolute sarcasm. But cool story bro!

Crowding out has always been among the dogmas of economic faith that I have found to be complete BS, in both theory and practice. Glad El-Arian is helping to make it obvious.

Under modern capitalism, once you achieve a certain seniority in the corporate world, you can only fail upward.

Not only this, his argument for not resigning as PM was that he had been given a mandate by the British people to govern for a full term (nevermind that Britain doesn't elect PMs directly). Now he quits the only actual mandate given to him by the British people.

One of the things I am most eager to see is whether any future Democrat administration tears up these contracts (as they should) or decides that property rights for private firms are sacrosanct regardless of how corruptly they were established.

I don't think anyone on the internet has built a self-image of knowing everything about every imaginable topic yet managing to be a complete ignorant idiot than Simon Whistler. Tepito isn't even the most dangerous neighborhood in Mexico City much less the world.

Not a single word about how these tariffs violate both our WTO & USCMA obligations. Every time Trump does this, the NYT & other outlets simply write as if we live in an international vacuum, where the US has no obligations under signed, ratified international treaties. It's journalistic malpractice.

This is a very naive misunderstanding of how systemic economic risk works when so much of the US economy is dependent on a few fast-growing sectors (in this case AI) maintaining the expected pace of growth for the foreseeable future, and the consequences if it doesn't.

Really shocked that Hungary has such huge heat-related mortality, my impression having visited it every year since 2022 including through various heatwaves is that it's better prepared than most: every place I've stayed in has A/C. But I guess AirBnBs are not representative of the whole...

Remember that if the average Joe could gamble other people's money away like institutional investors do and still get a 20% performance fee, shorting the SpaceX IPO would have been the easiest and most obvious way to get rich since the early days of Bitcoin.

This makes you remember that all leading Nazis were butt ugly in some way and that the best case for human empathy is to destroy the ugly duckling-to-fascist pipeline that seems to develop from years of insecurities for not looking like society's masculine ideal.
