@adamscochran Isn’t one possibility that we’re “disappearing” these scientists in order for them to work on something truly groundbreaking. Like if you had something Manhattan Project level today you couldn’t just have all those scientists take a sabbatical. Would be too obvious.

@Jesse_Livermore I also liked the @danwwang book “Breakneck.” One disagreement I have with the premise, and your tweet by extension, is that the US has always been run by lawyers. What? Half the founders are lawyers, most of the early presidents are lawyers.

This is a monopsony not a monopoly.

#BREAKING: New Report Exposes How Medical Residency Hiring Monopoly Harms Patients and Doctors

Newly obtained documents reveal how the Match placement system for resident physicians operates as a monopoly in the medical residency hiring market.

Its monopolistic practices harm resident physicians, impede patients' access to care, and constrain the growth of America's physician workforce.

A special-interest antitrust exemption currently shields the Match’s anticompetitive conduct from scrutiny, allowing it to harm the public while avoiding judicial oversight.

@sanderdiangelis @CoughdropPeter For sure! There should be a big hedge on climate change on prediction markets.

Every $1 spent on research yields $2+ to the U.S. economy. Why do these fools think it’s a handout with no return? Grants are contracts for work and the work feeds the US innovation economy, which has helped put us in the global leadership position we’ve enjoyed for decades.

@travismandrews It’s a shame the Red Sparrow adaptation was a bust bc he was perfectly cast as Marty Gable in it. Made to be a series, hopefully it gets a shot.

“We have two countries that have been fighting for so hard and so long they don't know what the fuck they are doing,” President Trump says of Israel and Iran, accusing each of violating the ceasefire he announced.

@PeterOlivier Prepare a detailed analysis on Wes Anderson’s style regardless of the panel.

Example:
Peter, what do you think about the state of funding for scale-ups?

“There is a stark contrast between what is in the foreground and what is in the background.”

@TimRunsHisMouth You think you invented monitoring the situation? Ethel in Gainesville has been monitoring the situation since asbestos was a carnival treat. She’s monitoring situations you aren’t even aware of 25/8 366 days a year.

@ScottButtram There are two probable explanations for this:

1) you’ve become more of a piece of shit the older you’ve gotten

2) your threshold for acting like an asshole has always been a 90 second walk, but the distribution of corrals has decreased to beyond that threshold

@webberweather @ryanweather has unfortunately become a joke. Following an ideology that is destroying what he’s worked on and either too proud or dumb to recognize it.
