@continetti@Commentary This was a great episode but much of the Commentary podcast is a discussion trying to describe “The Cathedral” concept of @curtis_yarvin without knowing that this has already been defined.
@nspector4 Given that Brookfield is a top 10 holding in almost all large cap Canadian ETFs and mutual funds, it’d be more surprising if any MPs didn’t own it (directly or indirectly)….
@jpodhoretz@michaelbd My premise is I would like an MBD appearance on the Commentary podcast. Competition ensues for what is more soul-crushing, MBD’s “deep sighs” or Abe Greenwald saying “actually it’s worse than that…”
The fact humans are returning to space exploration, paid for by putting up a network of internet satellites and technically feasible due to reusable rockets that magically land on their rear ends, has to be one of the greatest business and engineering feats ever. This is history.
@BenRabidoux This would cause so many individual owners of multiple properties, or foreign owners, to push their houses back into the market, transitioning house ownership back to households from investors. And we should lower income taxes in any event! Encourage work not housing speculation!
@BenRabidoux The property tax point would help alot. To refine it further, have a 1% federal property tax (based on MPAC values) on all residential real estate. Individuals then claim amounts paid for ONE primary residence as a credit on their income taxes.
@michaelbd I have no doubt Curtis would reference a book only found on Google Books written in like 1949 by a distant associate of Robert Taft that has that name! I will look it up.
@theallinpod If you think of the five biggest tech companies (FB, AAPL, GOOG, AMZN, and MSFT) what one has the strongest competitive position and what one has the weakest? Excluding NVDA and TSLA as these are more idiosyncratic.
@HighyieldHarry My favorite is “resid” for “residual tranches” in structured finance.
The worst is when a fixed income person says “Govvies”. A small part of me dies each time that happens.
Sometimes, it just takes a comedian to say the thing that is so glaringly obvious to anyone who doesn't worship at the alter of their political gods
