That was quaint back in its day.

It’s routine nowadays to see guys with unimaginable wealth and power act more petty than the rest of us.

So the problem isn’t really about finding the right kind of expert to put in charge. It’s that concentrated power without accountability produces bad outcomes almost regardless of who holds it or how smart they are. The checks and balances that exist in mature democracies weren’t bureaucratic inefficiency β€” they were load-bearing. You find out they were load-bearing when they’re removed.

What’s genuinely difficult is that the moment calls for both technical literacy and democratic accountability and long-horizon thinking and resistance to capture by concentrated wealth. That’s a high bar, and right now it’s hard to point to many places clearing it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

When I hear this guys voice, I feel probably exactly what MAGA feels when they hear any Nobel Prize-winning economist. Which is weird.

I have never felt less patriotic, or more determined.

I feel like the importers who wrote the actual checks for tariffs will get some refunds. If retailers had added tariff charges to our receipts, we’d probably be able to reclaim them - the administration was extremely offended when Amazon suggested they would do so.

Pleasantly surprised about today’s ruling. Did not see that coming.

Donut shop owner can’t figure out why they aren’t turning a profit even though they are moving 500 donuts a day. Enormous employee is sweeping the floor.

If I were in her shoes, I might be concerned about what STDs he isn’t afraid of.

I think the fact check on this is true, but not in a way that’s good for her.

Like Bondi shouting β€œHow dare you criticize the greatest President in all of American History.” We should all witness the veins on Miller’s head pulsating with the hatred of immigrants. Let him show his whole ass.

Shifting traffic and user habits suggests a problem of meeting how their subscribers wanted to consume the news. How did the solution become β€œWe need to dial back on holding the powerful to account?”

The only risk he might foresee is delegitimizing the court even further by letting Trump nominate Aileen Cannon or even Alina Habba to the court and forcing a 51-50 senate vote to confirm.

Carter would have been impeached and removed if he’d had Biden’s media environment.
