David Friedberg: It's not rich vs poor, it's makers vs takers.
@friedberg:
“ The great lie is that there are two sides to society, that is the rich and the poor.
And the great truth is that there are two sides that are the makers and the takers.
The lie is that the rich are unfairly rich and the poor are unfairly poor, and therefore, the poor must take from the rich.
But the truth is that it's the takers that tell you that lie, that the real truth is that artists, plumbers, electricians, woodworkers, computer scientists, people that build, people that make from all walks of life, all income levels, all wealth brackets, are the makers.
And the takers are what Sacks calls this intelligentsia, the analysts, the espousers, the armchair mechanics, the critics, the commentators, the politicians. They are the takers.
They are the people that watch the rest of society make stuff, build stuff, specifically doing things that create value for other people in society. That's what a maker is.”
@friedberg Health insurance (and so goes healthcare) suffers from the same penalty. Sure, you could argue there's a marketplace (govt run) but insurance is largly tied to your employer with no choice. No price transparency when you seek service.
@Robotbeat Jevons paradox my dude, you reduce the cost for something and the demand for it goes up. More people want to ship their stuff to space because it’s now financially possible
"All this trillionaire stuff really just represents, some percentage ownership in my companies. The companies are doing lots of useful things, the value the company grows. I own a percentage of the company & that's sums up to that number."

@housecor If you're doing agentic coding, why wouldn't you?
With how cheap and fast it is now to add test coverage that otherwise wouldn't exist. Of course, you should be reviewing that the test cases added make sense
