Same as why men are considered more athletic than women in general. Men have better strength and power; women have better balance and flexibility. But the concept of athleticism has more connection to strength and power. The concept of intelligence is more math- and science-y.

Why is that students who are smart in math and science are considered smarter than students who are smart in English and history?

Defenders of the triple lock are so funny, it’s just “the cost of this policy will exceed your entire gdp within a half century” vs this

I like the "nobody ever asked why" sentence. The reason you pay more money than the house is worth is because the bank loaned you the money.

Government pensions are a scam. Younger workers are paying more and more to fund a system that is mathematically impossible to sustain. Would you scrap the triple lock?

Progressives on ride share. 2012-2024: Gig economy jobs are fake and the firms that provide them should be regulated out of existence, even if it means job losses. 2025 >: We must protect ride share jobs from the threat of robo taxis, even if it means more traffic deaths.

Sex is good but have you tried saving California’s only nuclear plant and sticking it to the boomer anti-nuclear environmentalists?

Great visualization. And note in almost all of these two things are happening simultaneously: --Dots are moving to the right, which shows GDP per capita is increasing. --Dots are moving up, which shows outcomes like life expectancy improving for any given income level.

This is the fundamental fiscal issue. Everything else pales in comparison. richardhanania.com/p/critical-age…

Victor Li@Is__Victor·2d

There’s a point where the cost of doing something supposedly beneficial surpasses its benefits. For instance, if I am in a critical condition that would cost the world $500 million to save, they should let me die. A substantial portion of healthcare spending in recent years has been allocated to individuals nearing the end of their lives, which may not yield significant future utility, unlike the potential of children.

@RichardHanania @ramez So what is your point? Health care is expensive and medicare and social security are 1) mandated, 2) popular and 3) effective at fighting poverty.

New Penn-Wharton study shows per-capita federal spending on each age group: Seniors: $43,700 Children and young adults: $4,300. Clearly, the answer is to eliminate the FICA cap, use all "tax-the-rich" revenues on more SocSec & Medicare costs, and push that ratio to 15:1. 🙄

As an extremely experienced renter, I can summarize the sweet spot: - Do not rent from mom & pop landlords -- they will lowkey fuck you - Do not rent from large landlords -- they will highkey fuck you - Rent from an owner who has hired a property manager

"Our head count in Manhattan when I got to JPMorgan was 35,000 and now is 26,000. Our head count in Texas started at 11,000, now it's 33,000. That's what happens." Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New York: "Highest individual taxes, highest estate taxes, highest corporate taxes, anti-business sentiment." "When I grew up as a kid in New York City, there were 120 of the Fortune 500 headquarters there. In the 1970s, 60 of the 120 left, including Exxon, GE, IBM, Union Carbide. They're all going to Texas." The Hill & Valley Forum 2026 @HillValleyForum @jpmorgan @ChairmanG

Lawyers should just stop meddling in economic policy entirely. More than any other profession (except maybe union bosses), they default to seeing commerce as zero-sum combat rather than mutually beneficial trade.

Four theses on tariff impacts: 1. Evidence clearly shows they've added 0.5-1.0pp to inflation. Evidence consistent with them subtracting from growth. And no evidence they've done anything good for manufacturing or trade deficits (but they have raised revenue).
