I’ve started naming my factorio save files the task I was going to do next. It’s a lot like the movie Momento.

The problem with running the country like a business is you can’t just declare bankruptcy and move on to the next thing if you make a risky move and it doesn’t pan out.

Venture capital is risky. It isn’t supposed to be a model for how to streamline government departments.

Bricks like you wouldn’t believe

Imagine Trump trying to pump American Tech companies near IPO

“And I say to him, why not put all the data in the bricks? They told me that’s a genius idea. They hadn’t thought of that.”
