I think I honestly have about as much insight and understanding of the thinking of supreme court justices as I do of the mullahs of Iran

As would stronger regulation, or for that matter just meaningful enforcement of existing regulations, but can we at least please please please do one of them? To be clear, I absolutely think kicking these investors in the teeth is preferable to doing nothing.

Strictly speaking, this falls somewhere between ”I’ll give you money if you vote for me” (bribery) and ”I’ll give you money if I win” (kind of unavoidable for a politician)

"You've worked hard all your life accruing all that wealth via soaring house prices and nice defined-benefit pensions, and we think it's wrong for the state to touch it via inheritance tax. But it's totally fine for the government to deny your 24-year-old kid support based off of it"

I came here to ask about Tom Bombadil, too, but now I’m mostly just mystified why it’s so obvious that it’s him

It's not a foolproof plan but every political debate from now on should be a Normal Guy competition. Ask them to describe grocery shopping in detail. Talk about what it's like to have a friend

You should just sin it. If it turns out you are right, cosining it will count for nothing

Trump misstating and touting a meaningless deal over Greenland, while the entire Middle East security architecture falls apart due to his own actions, is emblematic of this administration’s foreign policy.

Remember the deal was: you give up collective bargaining and provisions to protect you in unemployment or ill health, and you gain cheap goods, social mobility and a house? And now nothing works, everything is expensive, the public realm is visibly degraded and about ten guys own the whole world.

I’m trying to work backwards, picturing the insane amounts of egotism, snitching and backstabbing it would take for effective regulation to develop organically. So academic publishing, maybe? Not sure we can class that as ”effectively” though

Someone tried to be clever again and it didn’t work. People need to stop and ask themselves: will my users/customers/clients want this to be clever, or would they prefer it to be predictable?

My new electronic keyboard can play a vast multitude of backing accompaniments - rock, calypso, bossa nova etc. So I will not encourage my children to learn how to play music, a skill that will likely be obsolete in a few years from now.

gonna start a conspiracy theory that it's actually linear algebra itself that makes people start believing head-slappingly cockamamie pseudo-religious nonsense, like people think studying the nature of infinity makes you lose it wait'll you hear about positive semidefinite matrices

…would call ‘do-gooders’ - a hugely revealing insult if ever there was one. But it’s just not in the arsenal any more, because the mainstream British right wing has an unearned victimhood complex visible from the moon. Never has the world witnessed such a gaggle of whinging, self-pitying arseholes.

Yes it is superior, but as someone hailing from the backwaters I feel I have to at least explain the ignorant reaction: the cosmopolitan way of life is not an option available to all, not without cost or risk

Scalping global capital markets by having its shepherds in your tax base seems good in theory, but when I look around me I’m not sure I see any tangible benefits

”A wealth tax will drive out investment” has got to be the most bullshit argument ever, capital in aggregate is institutional and international, and no country is going to be better off for having the idiot failsons of billionaires soaking up labour for pointless luxury
