ESPN should let Mike Breen abandon all impartiality in the NBA Finals and allow him to go full Knicks homer.

"And Gilgeous-Alexander is good for two. He's not even from our country, RJ. Does he even respect our nation? It's a fair question to ask. He hates our freedom, Richard."

Just a small note: former presidents, until Obama, did not engage in active politics after office as he is now doing. The reason: once someone has been given centralized and unified control of government power as the head of the country and of all military, clandestine, and diplomatic powers, it is considered tyrannical to attempt to use that power once out of constitutional office, even by means of soft power influence over either those powers or the people in general.

It was the custom, from Washington to George W. Bush, to avoid using the glamour of highest office over the people after having served in the office of presidency.

So when people get angry about norms being violated, just remember: there are crude ways to violate norms, but there are also very gentile and silky ways to violate them as well.

Summing up the British approach to Iran here:

1) US asks to use British bases, we say no.

2) Tell everyone we weren't involved and hope they leave us alone.

3) oh dear, they didn't leave us alone. They're shooting missiles at us.

4) claim that the only way to stop this and protect British citizens is to destroy the missiles at source.

5) allow the Americans to use our bases to destroy the missiles at source.

6) refuse to help destroy the missiles at source, even though we just said destroying them at source is the only way to end the threat to British citizens.

7) tell everyone we're not involved and hope they'll leave us alone.

Of course that’s your contention. You’re a StartUpBro industrialist. You just finished reading the ‘Reindustrialize America’ thread and now you’re gonna pivot to vertically integrated, carbon-neutral steel.

You’re gonna be convinced of that until next quarter when you discover electricity costs and realize blast furnaces don’t run on vibes and intermittent wind credits. Then you’ll pivot to ‘green hydrogen direct reduced iron’ — that’ll last right up until you price power at industrial scale.

Well, as a matter of fact, we’ll secure domestic ore and strategically source critical inputs—”

—Strategically source? You mean import the iron ore we don’t mine at scale and politely ask China and Russia for the 75% of global manganese they control? That strategic?

“No, because we’re rebuilding American industrial capacity and—”

—Rebuilding? With what institutional knowledge? The guys who knew how to actually run integrated mills retired when we offshored production in the ‘90s.

“And anyway, tariffs will protect domestic producers—”

—controlled by the same cozy domestic monopoly you call ‘healthy competition.’ That your big plan? Carbon-neutral, monopoly-priced, VC-backed rebar?

Do you have any thoughts of your own on this, or are we just speedrunning Industrial Policy Fan Fiction?”
