@seconds_0 Ackchually it’s a social science

[John Button @johnbutton]

@AlexGodofsky In a way, this is their argument for everything. Such as, if you expand the road then more people will drive, which is bad!

[John Button @johnbutton]

@phl43 The correct synthesis.

@akarlin Don’t you know in America there are no cities and they force you to drive a car (with AC) 🤢

@xvrmdf As Bessent himself stated, he’s America’s #1 bond salesman. Market credibility does matter at the margins, and even a few bps can be worth billions in interest payments.

@berniemoreno @SenWarren No, stop it! Invest the trust fund in a market portfolio! Until you do that don’t bother sticking your hand deeper in our pockets.

@neverfadegold @westernexile America is 50ish jurisdictions. Some, like California and New York are hard. Some like Texas, Mississippi and Alabama are easy. That’s why there’s a clear population and GDP growth gradient.

If you want to claim the EU is a light reg paragon go ahead. I won’t waste my time.

@mean_field_zane Do we need to blame a guy who left office 75 years ago? This is like California Dems blaming Reagan. You have agency. You can fix things now. Don’t wallow in what was done two generations ago. Most voters time and again vote for welfarism.

@neverfadegold @westernexile Is that why it’s taken like 20 years to build a runway? Supply side means supply, it doesn’t (just) mean tax breaks for the financial sector.

Is the UK the easiest place to build? No! The bull case for Brexit was making the UK the free market zone of Europe, but sadly nope.

@_kapitalist @vrexec You know you can save over time for capital purchases right? It’s the compounding of that advantage that kills.

@mattforney Your worries are correct. Restore’s constituency is podcasters and online weirdos.

@TheSun Curtains for Zoosha

@Sean_Speer No Sean, it doesn’t mean that. It means people who are economically illiterate are economically illiterate. Whenever the deficit can’t be sustained they will rely on stealth taxation (debt monetization, inflation with targeted subsidy support).

This is left populism 101.

@GavinSBaker It's a lot easier to sound smart when you're cynical and negative. The smart people are working on fixes and solutions.

@TonerousHyus How else is zerohedge going to eat if he can’t post BREAKING at everything Iranian TV says

@stefanoscalia I drive a nice car and live in SF. I pay like $249/month with the most sandbagged plan on offer. These guys are leaving out some details…

@JJ_McCullough I don’t think it makes sense but Canadians need to be clear that with their cost of labour and aesthetic issues with resource extraction they can’t really export to anyone of scale other than the US or EU.
