@Jason NOMOS or Grand Seiko

Never mind about the Rolex… had no idea buying one was like buying a Ferrari, where you have to beg, jump though hoops and then buy products you don’t want to get the one you do want! 😂 thought it would be fun to own, but would much prefer to just order something on a website (like a Tesla!) and be done with it. These retail and reseller channels make things far too time consuming Is there a nice watch I can just… order?

@mattyglesias What?? Who doesn’t love to laugh? Also I interpret this as “shared sense of humor” not “funny like a comedian”

@AOC @NPC92846601 Clark County School District + Nevada State cost Medicaid 5x more than Tesla. And Tesla only costs nevada 6M in medicaid costs. Doesn't seem like a huge subsidy.

@NPC92846601 In the state of Nevada alone, Tesla is one of the corporations that ranks *highest* in Medicaid costs, which is another form of public assistance program. That’s on top of the $330 million they’ve already received in state public dollar tax incentives. rgj.com/story/news/mon…

The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers. If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems. The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale. We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability. Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

@Brad_Setser @mattyglesias Poor theory, private investors understand a business is more volatile with more leverage. That's just business fundamentals and PE investors are not stupid.

@mattyglesias theory is that "private" holders don't have to worry about the extra volatility in the stock price that can come with more leverage. Tis an intrinsic part of the model as you know; early "PE" firms were rebranded leveraged buyout firms

@AgustinLebron3 Nah. No congressional districts, just X reps per state + single transferable vote

Congressional districts should be convex. Problem solved.

@ahall_research @karpathy Efficient Market Hypothesis: 1 Haters: 0

We're building a version of @karpathy 's autoresearch to help us predict prediction market prices and, ultimately, forecast the world more accurately. Good news: it has improved its accuracy over time! Bad news: it's done that by giving up, removing predictive features, and just using the previous market price as the predictor. We've got some more work to do! This is only week 2, so we've got plenty of room to run.
