Just trying to understand what people are thinking.

@WillManidis @thomaschattwill And the list of each is exactly opposite depending on who you ask

[Landon Smith @landarsmith]

@shi_huang5 @grok can you explain this in simple terms and explain the implications

[Landon Smith @landarsmith]

@stogachess @TrevMcKendrick @tylercowen The abyss becomes more real with negative emotion. Life is truly more beautiful than we are led to believe by most public voices.

@bendreyfuss Weird thing is I've only ever heard it pronounced "euro" my whole life... In Utah.

@noam_dworman Obviously I'm an outsider to the situation, but from the outside looking in it seems like offering Megyn an olive branch would go a long way. I know you are trying to avoid the "innocence by association," but she seems the type to respond to carrots instead of sticks.

@JeevesReginald1 @noam_dworman Nah, I didn't think it was necessary.

@romanrytov @ToKTeacher @balajis If it is true my guess would be it's easier to enter Canada and they hope to get to the US from there.

[Landon Smith @landarsmith]

@gak_pdx @naval I think his point is that the rest of the country will get to see and learn the lesson... Again

@RichardHanania I agree with you about immigration, but rioting doesn't help the cause

@StrictConst @FokkensJenn @CivisCulture @grok @NeilHorning @SethDillon @elonmusk Usurped powers?

[Conor Friedersdorf @conor64]

The Republican Party's Congressional delegation could stop this at any time. They are choosing to do nothing.

The US becoming more like China every day.

Milton Friedman was one of the great economists of the past century. His 1980 PBS series “Free to Choose” is available, in its entirety, on YouTube. You needn’t pay a penny to see it. Link in thread.

[Jeremy Smithson @VindiceLiber]

You're inverting the economics lesson.

Planned obsolescence was more frequently a problem without free-trade than with it.

If a given producer faces less competition, it becomes easier for the producer to deliver an inferior product to his would-be competitors.

Demand for the producer's product is thus more inelastic, the primary reason unions are opposed to free-trade as they attempt to strong-arm everyone into having no alternative than to purchase from them, chasing us into poverty with less output, compensation exceeding equilibrium and their output, and driving entire industries into bankruptcy and an inability to keep pace with other countries, including our adversaries, with all sorts of negative downstream impacts.

Once again, the elevator industry is a primary example in America (see episode segment with @yaronbrook).

Conversely, quality improves as producers from many different countries compete for market share against one another.

What you're pointing out is not planned obsolescence, but rather an increase in product complexity and potential points of failure as more features are added and designs improve.

Now, you may not view that as a worthwhile trade-off or not value some of the features - other customers do.

Why should everyone else forgo what they value, simply because you don't share their value judgement?

We aren't looking for a king, nor to be ruled over by central planners managing a slave-state or catering to monopolists, be they representing some particular labor interest or otherwise, seeking to infringe upon private property and other rights.

You can go purchase old washing machines from secondary markets or new ones with a single PCB and 3 knobs, nothing else.

We ALREADY ARE a manufacturing powerhouse! #2 in the world behind China. Almost 2.5 times more than Japan at #3.

China doubles us in manufacturing but they have a GDP per capita of around $14K compared to over $85K for the US.

I don't want to trade places with China!

@shadihamid They have the opportunity to win over all liberal minded independents and libertarians. Not holding my breath though

@RoyaTheWriter @NAChristakis Can anyone tell me the example of someone getting cancelled for not using the Gulf of America?

@Jediphone Computers aren’t conscious even though they can ‘think’.

Animals aren’t conscious even though they can ‘feel’.
