@nic_carter @R89Capital repeat after me. All self-issued currencies in American history eventually go to $0.

"Owning a franchise may be the purest distillation of the American dream. Some 95% of McDonald’s 14,000 American outlets are operated by franchisees, and the chain has plausibly created more millionaires than any firm in history."

score one for @Codie_Sanchez et al.

"In 2018 a Russian engineer at another Antarctic base stabbed a colleague after he allegedly revealed the endings of several books."

I'm not saying he's innocent, but...

@SahilBloom @Skylarjderouen @GeorgeKamel can explain this better than me, but credit score ≠ flex

[Joseph Moore @drjoemoore]

@SahilBloom @Skylarjderouen he's right. It's a (very) temporary snapshot of your ability to 1) take on debt and 2) manage payments. A total phantom. You could fall on the other side of the equation in days/weeks. Credit scores have gone from 800 to sub-600 in a matter of months.

@PeterGazdik @danwinesalot @paulg Hey! I resemble that remark!

.@AndySwan on how to be a great conversationalist:

- Teach someone something they don’t know

- Ask a question to learn something you don’t know

Great simplification and a nice framework for teaching kids.

[Joseph Moore @drjoemoore]

@OurRepublic12 @SahilBloom @Skylarjderouen Don't mistake a not-bad with a good. As a flex, I know a lady w/ a crappy credit score, paid off home, fully funded retirement, driving what she wants and eating where she wants. High > low, but still a very sad flex.

[Joseph Moore @drjoemoore]

@L3DGERx @SahilBloom @Skylarjderouen 800 credit score takes on debt, loses job, gets divorced, falls behind on payments. The 800 score didn't equate to stability. It equated to the ability to handle the payments TODAY. Not saying they don't matter, just that they are overrated.

1) the chart shows the greatest divergence for profs, shrinks, journalists... all prestige careers with standards that often shift/worthy of some skepticism (replication crisis, Popperian critiques of social-sci, etc.). 2) the medical professions divergence is not as drastic. Nurses highly trusted by all (and nurses social authority is rooted in hands-on competence). 3) I don't have a good exp. for the medical doc. divergence other than as a proxy for Covid-era institutional trust breaking, but my eye was drawn to the top of the chart. 4) Not fair to conflate distrust of medical docs (questionable premise) with distrust of the top 3 (healthy skepticism of disciplines parading as science/authority)

PS: note the tiny divergence on Veterinarians. Republicans more likely to be rural, use vets regularly. I suspect embedded in that divergence is a hint for all medical answers... a distrust of increasing corporate profit model... so the tiny divergence there is working people experiencing a medical system (human or otherwise) that they don't trust isn't gouging them)... but that may not be the same underlying behind the top 3

@Ritholtz He's on this century's Mt. Rushmore of Wisdom for sure. So glad to hear them honor his legacy.

@vrexec I wonder how much our gen (48yo) timed tech perfectly for optimized performance vs. how much it drops off for the young. If AI existed when I was a kid, I could never have become a researcher/writer. Too strong a crutch. My force multiplier, but it retards their growth.

@cynthiamcgillis @simoj_ my wife settled. Best decision she ever made! (actually she says the same)... marriage in history has changed drastically. Families used to play a card game (1830s) that taught kids JUST this lesson. Get a good mix of attributes, then get moving forward.

@jordanmcgillis my wife settled. Best decision she ever made! (she says the same)... marriage in history has changed drastically. Families used to play a card game (1840s) that taught JUST this lesson. Get a good mix of attributes, and get going.

@izamamaa https://t.co/gYtXSqo11C's dream has finally come true. It only took 25 years to deliver one-hour delivery.

@Red_Baron_17 @paulg Every time I use mine (including here) I can feel my grandfather shaking his head in shame. The boy can't replace an alternator but is pontificating on the news!

[Joseph Moore @drjoemoore]

@PlancksLaw @paulg in so many ways!

[Joseph Moore @drjoemoore]

@mcguinnessfortx @paulg agree 100% (and observe all the time). Overconfidence outside of domain by social sciences/humanities is shockingly common. Here is one among many examples: https://t.co/kAllj511DA
