@mihirpshah@conorsen body, they could lower tuition to a reasonable price. But they're currently about 6.5% Black. If they want to maintain that %? They've got to inflate the tuition that White/Asian/int'l families pay. It's not going to work going forward. 2/2
@feelsdesperate 2. But, now? Obama reading books is the sign of a true intellectual.
If you've ever attended or worked with people from HBS and HLS, you know that there is zero difference in "intellectualism." Zip.
@feelsdesperate 1. This conversation is comical (from the left). Let's not forget that they literally mocked W. for having a reading contest with Karl Rove. "Who cares if he reads books, he's still dumb" was a common refrain in 07/08 from the left.
Remember this?

@chriswithans 2. summer, 95% of those 10 weeks are purely leisure. I don't care who you talk to (lawyers, finance, engineers, accountants, etc.), most "professionals" would kill for 2 weeks of uninterrupted leave, much less 10. And those 2 weeks at Christmas? They are completely
If Romney's Harvard degrees were ever mentioned in 2012, I can't recall it.
Funny how Romney, W, Trump, Musk, and Bezos all seem to have "fake" Ivy degrees while Obama's HLS degree put him in the company of Faulkner or Dewey. Funny how that works. 2/2
Another fun point on "Obama the intellectual":
Romney got a degree from the same institution (Harvard Law) as well as a Harvard MBA. Both were earned with honors. Did we ever hear Mitt described as an intellectual? 1/2

@3Sentinel4@conorsen Source?
Not doubting you, I'd love to be able to provide a source to friends who are convinced that Europe is on its way to being a "nearly carless" society. I am sure Mr. Sen is familiar with this type of American. Finland in 2025 didn't seem close to "carless" to me.
@chriswithans Exactly. We have an elastic money supply, a dynamic economy, and a vibrant financial system that lends to a variety of entrepreneurs.
If it were 1908, maybe there's a "problem", but there simply isn't one in 2026's economy.
@feelsdesperate But we don't live in those times. We have an elastic money supply and a dynamic, innovative economy with a vibrant financial system that lends money to 100s of thousands of non-Musk entrepreneurs. Where is the "problem"? 2/2
@feelsdesperate What I'd really like to know is this:
Outside of "I don't like their politics", what is the actual "problem" with trillionaires like Musk?
Maybe you could have made an argument about the Rockefellers or Mellons in an age of limited money supply and little innovation. 1/2
@drantbradley Charlie Munger: The world is not driven by greed, it's driven by envy.
The 2 most entitled, spoiled groups in America: Academics and Associates at Big Law. Both groups (mostly, very few exceptions) seethe with envy.
@TonerousHyus@77_steeze@feelsdesperate I'd just add that I went to Cornell and https://t.co/mgOKp5bYsw. Law. I've dealt with Harvard MBAs and JDs as an employer side employment law attorney. I can testify that I've observed zero difference between the two types of grads.
@TonerousHyus@77_steeze@feelsdesperate Contrast the Millennial's derision of W's "MBA" with the worship of Obama's JD from the same institution and so much becomes clear about the 105 IQs masquerading as 120s proclaiming themselves "arbiters" of "intellectualism." 2/2
