@moseskagan Follow on:
List out the Pro/Con prior to issuing an “approval”

Elaborating your thoughts while memorializing concerns live with your counterparty brings additional thought to the decision making

In time, your counterparty will know what you are likely to or not to approve, too

[Lavy @LBR_22]

@moseskagan As I fall into this category, adding a few additions which may be of interest (non fiction, too);
The Wager
Caesars Palace Coup
Den of Thieves
East of Eden
Family of Spies

@trengriffin @TheStalwart As a follow on regarding @TheStalwart re humans not being good at picking stocks:

Humans are HORRIBLE with controlling their emotions and behaviors with regard to stocks and their wild gyrations

Hitler pushed toward (i) Baku oil, (ii) Romanian crude, and (iii) Swedish iron ore to sustain the war

Which Western adversary is *most* exposed to, and strategically dependent on, fragile, resource-rich dictatorships as spheres of influence begin to shift?

"The historic responsibility of world Jewry for the outbreak of war has been proven so clearly it doesn’t need to be talked about

The Jews wanted war, and now they have it. But the Führer's prophecy of 1/39 to the Reichstag is also being fulfilled"

Mr. Rubio admitted what we all knew: U.S. has entered a war of choice on behalf of Israel. There was never any so-called Iranian "threat".

Shedding of both American and Iranian blood is thus on Israel Firsters.

American people deserve better and should take back their country.

Western Liberals 🤝 Khomeini

1978:

10/6; Saddam *expels* him from Iraq
10/7; Kuwait *refuses* him
Syria won’t take him

Arab regimes knew better

10/10; France HOSTS him in N-le-Château

From a French village, with unconditional access to western media, he spewed propaganda

@moseskagan For the ownership who “doesn't seem like they are doing their best.”

I would reply with:

“Show me the incentives, I’ll show you the outcomes”

@emmagf Well, since we’re on the topic of books and Mamdani, here’s another one he should take note to read:

[Lavy @LBR_22]

@HayekAndKeynes Intellectually weak opinion
Magnifies the ignorance of anyone (including poster) unclear how the analogy holds no factual weight
Propaganda content slop
Expected unfortunately.

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…

@BoringBiz_ Speak of the devil.
Fabulous detail.

For additional “page turner” readings on WWII would recommend: (a) The Splendid and The Vile, (b) In The Garden of Beasts

For additional “page turner?” readings on finance/history would recommend: Devil Take the Hindmost / Den of Thieves
