Once self-driving cars are sufficiently deployed, we can create dedicated lanes for them with higher speed limits and closer following distances between cars. This will both improve throughput and reduce latency.

EU to force Google to share private user search data with rivals to "boost competitiveness", critics call it a massive violation of user privacy

Most frame the wealth gap as an income gap. The yield gap is often ignored, but reinforces disadvantage. The less money you have, the less yield you earn, the less incentive to save, and the more you spend. $STRC addresses the yield gap and restores opportunity.

Started reading Democracy: The God That Failed on the flight to Vegas. The soft on crime judges in the US are doing incredible harm to the economy. When crime increases because there are no longer consequences associated with it, society reflexively increases its time preference.

Someone finally did it

In crypto and defi (ie in honest markets), when a component fails, those closest to the component—whether wildly negligent or innocent victim—suffer the loss, and are burdened with that responsibility. Unequal, but proper. In tradfi and banking (ie in coercively manipulated markets), when a component fails, the entire society is forced under the burden of its resolution. Costs are socialized. Equal, but improper. The former, with time, becomes self-correcting, self-improving, and crucially, retains vitality. The latter, regardless of time, becomes stagnant and soulless, and here everyone can wallow in an equivalent grey. Any man of agency should prefer the former, taking care over that to which he is proximate. It is from this that the virtue of markets emerges.
