Atlas Shrugged needs to be required reading for all voting eligible citizens. And persons running for political office must write 800 words on their opinion of the book.

@JulianGuilarte1 Rate Field will be last place, when you visit

I did this based on views, scenery, history, and gameday experience. Thoughts?

@SenWarren Ooooo, fun game! Do Medicare next! Be very clear, please.

Let's be clear: Red Lobster went bankrupt after private equity bought the chain, loaded it up with debt, and gutted it.

Proud to announce: @SwaneyGroupCap has invested in Apex Dental Laboratory Group alongside LongueVue Capital. 16 labs. 12 states. 400 team members. We don't write checks and step back. We're operators. Shoulder to shoulder with the team starting now.

@christopherrufo Modern day Chinatown plot

In Gavin Newsom's California, the officials who are in charge of investigating fraud are committing fraud against the very programs they are supposed to protect. "Sacramento is pervaded by a culture of corruption."

@worstall Plus, they are ignoring the benefit society gets from the product and innovation + job creation.

A country with a 21% Federal corporate income tax rate has a - about 21% acshully - profit-sharing agreement with every corporation within its shores. This is not difficult to understand but apparently escapes two economics professors.

@RickShielsPGA I’m an 18 handicap and shot 106 on Pinehurst 2 (worst score of last year). Given that wasn’t championship tees, competition greens/fairway speed, pressure etc. I would say 130-150 at Augusta.

What would an 18 handicap shoot in the opening round of The Masters?

@sgobbzilla @Acyn This sounds like a movie villain quote

@noac_mit @Acyn For the souless billionaires yeah, and they should be fucking scared

Kilmeade: What do you say to people like Bernie Sanders who says billionaires don't pay their fair share? Dimon: I don't know what he means by fair share

Bernie thinks this is "fair" because he starts from the premise that your wealth belongs to the collective and you are permitted to keep what it decides you don't need. "You'd still have $2.5 billion" is not an argument for fairness. It is a looter calculating how much he can take before the victim fights back. Fairness is not determined by how much the victim has left. It is determined by whether the taking was justified. A man who robs you of $100 and leaves you $1,000 has not been "fair." He is still a thief. Rights are not proportional to net worth. They are absolute.

@steven4TSwift @Acyn More dangerous than the status quo

@noac_mit @Acyn Dangerous to the status quo

@ApoStructura This is an insane reframing of our overspending 🤯

The U.S. could literally do $20,000/y UBI today without raising taxes if there were no other forms of welfare. If you discarded every program except military/infrastructure/law enforcement/debt repayment, the U.S. federal government would have $20,000 left per adult to spend.

@paulswaney3 Literally just happened to Anthropic last night

Software businesses can be copied overnight. A factory with 20-year customer contracts, specialized tooling, and trained labor cannot.

This is a thread with good info on rent control I had not considered. My issue is the reframing says “rent control can work when more collectivist action is taken across the housing value chain”. So, this tweet says “go one level above rent control and it can work”. I’m then saying “go one level above that and we are creating a non-free market…which we know is bad”

Let's be clear: London: no rent control -> 5k housing starts (-30%). Paris: rent control -> 50k housing starts (+14%). "Rent control is a better way to destroy cities than dropping bombs on them." > is brainrot and I don't even support rent control.

“In engineering, you are peer reviewed by reality”. From Rory Sutherland, in this week’s Spectator.

@fchollet We are at the beginning of infinity

One of the biggest misconceptions people have about intelligence is seeing it as some kind of unbounded scalar stat, like height. "Future AI will have 10,000 IQ", that sort of thing. Intelligence is a conversion ratio, with an optimality bound. Increasing intelligence is not so much like "making the tower taller", it's more like "making the ball rounder". At some point it's already pretty damn spherical and any improvement is marginal. Now of course smart humans aren't quite at the optimal bound yet on an individual level, and machines will have many advantages besides intelligence -- mostly the removal of biological bottlenecks: greater processing speed, unlimited working memory, unlimited memory with perfect recall... but these are mostly things humans can also access through externalized cognitive tools.

@EYakoby I wish we treated the hammer and sickle like we do the swastika Actually, we should treat it worse…

BREAKING: In NYC at the “No Kings” rally, demonstrators waved Communist flags. No kings, but yes Communist dictators.

If you want to invest in AI, dig into the 13F filings of the Situational Awareness fund (former OpenAI researcher Leopold Aschenbrenner) He is investing in the innermost loop of AI W-2 income is going to get pummeled over the next 3 years, but the tailwinds in equities are like nothing you've ever seen Credit to Dave Blundin
