Two books anyone who opines on economics should have read.

Gary doesn't even understand the basics of taxation, like income tax vs inheritance tax or corporate tax vs consumption tax.

I'm not an "own the libs" guy -- in fact, I am the polar opposite of such people and I especially hate that genre of social media -- but very few things make left wingers madder than pointing out, correctly, that Nazism was a virulently anti-capitalist, pro-socialist movement.

Still can’t believe this wasn’t a skit

Far more poverty has been alleviated by growth than by any RCT type aid or poverty alleviation program. Like orders of magnitude. Compare China to sub-Saharan Africa.

I'm sorry for the pause but regularly scheduled programming, but notice what exercise these grannies are doing at 89/91? Yup, the deadlift. The fitness industry is full of snake oil, but one of the biggest deceptions is discouraging the basic compound movements of deadlift and squat. The number of times I've heard the deadlift isn't worth the risk/reward, how it's going to mess up your back etc. No, the deadlift is what makes your back strong as you age. The biggest change to your body is that you start losing muscle mass, your bones have less and less support, including your spine. The deadlift puts an iron rod of muscle around your spine. I've had aches and pains around my back for more than a decade---regular weekly deadlift and squat fixed all of it. I haven't had so much as a tweak since I started lifting heavy. Here is me at 41, lifting 375 at 165lbs. We saw Christopher Waller lift the same at 67. This is what will help you age comfortably, not some random new fitness trend. With all that, you need good form. Get a trainer, practice light over and over again, and only when it's comfortable should you start loading it up. Everyone's *good form* will look a bit different, e.g., my back looks rounder than some others', but this what is more comfortable than a straight back for me. Once you have that down, you'll have the best anti aging hack out there.
