@asymmetricinfo Megan, yep. So speaking from the financial planning biz, moving to Medicare Plan C is not a reversible decision currently.

This is not investment or planning advice.

@DaveShapi One other thought, David.

Historically, capitalism has functioned in a system with population growth. With plunging - and I mean plunging - TFR rates, will the entire dynamic be changed?

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@DaveShapi That people can get very rich owning companies making commoditized products and services, which I know is something you refer to. But it’s worth focusing in on that insight & what it means.

But this is a brilliant post.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@DaveShapi Wow, David. This is an incredible post. Parts of it will be wrong of course but the insight is just so strikingly true.

Commodification is almost a natural part of capitalism.

One of my Bschool professors said something really interesting, which I always remember…

@RaptorOrg This is really informative. Pls keep up the good work with these incredible animals.

@gbaird25 @DKThomp Reputations are at stake here.

@gbaird25 @DKThomp Oh, come on. This is one of the great films of the previous century.

what i find to be a problem is that he feels to renorn the curve? How about failing the students who can’t answer a basic question. At some point, the institution - the unis - need to realize their…

@RaptorOrg What a great video. Keep up the good work.

@cliffcornell_ Yes. As I mature as a fin pro, I think increasingly this is a basic building block. Wise post.

@providenceluvr You are the Patriarchy.

@musicandroots @Curculiunculus Let’s agree to disagree. The big melodramatic string climax is very memorable, IMHO.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@musicandroots @Curculiunculus Oh, I think Weberns Op 1 Passacaglia shows he could write a tune.

But I’d say more generally that I agree with you about song and dance but every rule has exceptions and Webern is one of them.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@musicandroots I was talking about Taylor Swift with a composer I know and it turned out both of us had genuine respect for her. I mean, she writes too much, but both of us immediately came up with some songs of hers that we liked and thought represented good craftsmanship.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@musicandroots @Curculiunculus 100%? There are a few pieces by Schoenberg and Webern that I really love, but struggling to think of any by Berg. It’s probably me, though.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@musicandroots You are totally wrong about Webern but I think I probably agree with you about Stravinsky. But that 35% contains some of the greatest music ever written.
Not unfollowing you either way.

@LizWolfeReason Where was that beautiful photo taken? Italy?

best wishes to you.

@JSMilbank The true story is beautiful, with the boys building lifelong friendships, rather than that bs Golding novel.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@emollick Wow. Eye opening thread.

[Julian Treves @JulianTrev78186]

@rhodanielson364 @RoyAlbatrossCam Thank you for explaining.
