@GrantSlatton Toddler cargo cult (adorable!)

@ATabarrok @p_m_robinson So good. His ability to make sharply political points w/o sounding partisan is impressive. The obvious erudition helps.

@TheZvi @jackclarkSF You won’t need to reinvent yourself, he went on to say, only to transform yourself.

@JonathanAnomaly @razibkhan Elite tier nominative determinism (and the substance of the tweet is wonderful news too).

Left hand on the ground trying not to hit the pavement; right hand still holding a cell phone. ICE person standing with a one handed grip pointing his gun right at the man’s head.

There is nothing about this that we should accept. We all must reject this. This is our government

The Minneapolis Star Tribune compiled a chilling recap of multiple incidents showing ICE agents escalating aggression toward innocent bystanders including detainments, threats of violence, and physical abuse.

This isn’t law and order. It’s state violence.

@seandsweeney Sean, been following you for a while. Offering my support. Good for you for standing up and sharing what is self evidently true, and decent. Acts of courage, big and small, are the only hope we have. Solidarity.

@SimonHButler They were my grandparents. Appreciate you having done this, Simon.

[Cullen Roche @cullenroche]

Just to summarize what’s happened in the last few weeks:

They concocted this whole thing based on a fundamental misunderstanding of the global economy. They think manufacturing jobs will come back (they won’t). They think free trade made us poor, when it actually made us rich. They think the current account deficit is unsustainable when it’s a rounding error in our aggregate net worth and also accretive to our net worth. They think being the reserve currency is bad when it’s a sign that everyone wants to do business with us. And they think poor foreigners were taking advantage of us when we’re the richest economy in human history.

And to "fix" all of these "problems" they implemented the one policy idea that almost every economist alive says is bad.

And then when they implemented that idea they misunderstood the math behind the rationale and came up with numbers that were irrationally huge. So they had to backpedal.

And when bond yields moved a tiny bit higher they panicked and "fixed" all of this by making the numbers slightly smaller, but they clearly hadn't done the math again because the numbers are still way bigger than any economist would ever recommend they be. Then they patted themselves on the back because of intraday moves in stocks while an economic hurricane continues to barrel towards us because they have no idea what they’re doing.

Amazing stuff.

@TylerAlterman Love your stuff, Tyler. Is there data substantiating greater prevalence of SH in the West?

@patio11 @Austen Can’t defend the honor of Olympic athletes’ hard work by ignoring their (but) quadrennial chance to be celebrated for it, Patrick! 😅 Loved your pod w/ Dwarkesh btw (and can’t overstate how amazing your CA vax effort was, bravo man).
