New from @MarkLutter and I in @palladiummag: Urban mismanagement and burdensome regulation are twin killers for American innovation. New cities built on federal land can spark an economic renaissance. It's time to build the Presidio Freedom City.

In days past, WF Buckley could have an erudite conversation with Groucho Marx about his interactions with TS Eliot. There is clearly no modern parallel for this. (I beg to be proven wrong)
Dead Wrong History@deadwronghist

Groucho Marx visited T.S. Eliot's house for dinner. He wanted to talk about King Lear. Eliot only wanted to talk about Animal Crackers. Eliot later wrote: 'you have no idea what this has done for me socially.'

Despite Lee's tactical skill he was forced into a siege of Petersburg in two months while his the rest of the confederacy burnt across half a dozen different fronts. Again, Grant was not obliged to strategize symmetrically with Lee, he had more men and materiel and better coordination across theaters. Moreover he was fighting on enemy turf with long supply lines and exhausted men. He beat Lee, period.

The Overland campaign is proof that Lee was probably the best overall general of the entire Civil War

It's pretty crazy that there's a city-sized expanse of flat unoccupied concrete just waiting to be developed directly on the doorstep of downtown San Francisco

NEW: The hard-tech world is buzzing about a band of “startup cowboys” in Texas — they’re building futuristic robots, 3D-printed homes, and just got approval for a nuclear test reactor.

Proto-Town has become the de-facto proving ground for Austin hardware startups. It’s a place where the question is “what are you building?”, not “what are you allowed to build?”. That’s why later this year, it will be home the first humans to live in an @americanhousing home.

For the past two years, some folks in Texas have been creating a new hardware city out in the middle of nowhere. It's called Proto-Town, and it's both weird and wonderful. There are startups and people living in trailers right next to their machines. They've never let the media visit. But we managed to get our cameras in there. Come see m.youtube.com/watch?v=qIob2-…

The nearby municipalities all voted to become part of the SBMA, expanding the special jurisdiction to over 262 square miles and thousands of residents. The people of the greater Subic Bay area actively chose to participate in prosperity.

Great to see SEZ-based investments become a key American foreign policy tool. The Philippines also has a unique history in this space. Starting in the 1990s at Subic Bay, and now at former Clark Air Base, they've successfully transformed two former US bases into thriving SEZs.
Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg@UnderSecE

Today we announced plans for a historic 4,000-acre Economic Security Zone in the Philippines—the first AI-native investment acceleration hub under Pax Silica. This purpose-built platform will secure inputs vital to American supply chains and transform how allies manufacture together.
