how much more expensive is it to grow bananas in USA (without illegal immigrants) than importing them from Central America?

@stevesi @pitdesi I wrote a fun paper in college about how traffic was a progressive tax -- not sure it would hold given today's remote work. Tolls on the other side, seem quite regressive.

@dustpen01 @SpencerHakimian every american benefits from rigged supply chains through low prices. and rationalizations where possible without destroying confidence in the US dollar and US debt. communication is irreversible.

[Patrick Wakeham 🤹🏽‍♂️ @wakehamp]

@dustpen01 @SpencerHakimian Trump was not president 1 year ago (though he was spouting tariff non-sense), and the markets had not priced in his horrendous decisions. The 13% dip is his making and reason bonds yields have increased. The timing is the appropriate one.
rationalizing supply chains is lalaland

[Patrick Wakeham 🤹🏽‍♂️ @wakehamp]

@dustpen01 @SpencerHakimian hmm... but the S&P is off 13% in that period, so no, not choosing a conveniente dip.

@jackybh @RayDalio having lived in a protected economy (with significant tariffs) for years, I can steadfastly assure you that corporations like to maximize profits and if you can deliver a super shitty product 35% cheaper than others, it will sell. So, prepare for shittier cars, cloth, cheese, etc

@pitdesi the european summer was one of the last “affordable” luxuries in America

seemed reasonable. but open to corrections.

@davidsawyer1 @pitdesi the cost of "essentials" (living independently) has outpaced real wages, even after the post pandemic bloom. Despite this, enrollment from bottom 20% is "over represented".

Wonder if income level results in different enrollment preferences @ $100k/yr for english majors, et al

@davidsawyer1 @pitdesi yep, Harvard is now cheaper than elite prep schools, but cost of living independently keeps increasing

AI is revolutionizing every tool you use... meanwhile at we-hate-products-google, nobody has been able to add a modicum of intelligence to the email composer, used by billions of people.

@EricTopol anecdotally correct. ER physician said a 0.9 cm kidney stone would pass naturally, vs gpt said only 10-20% chance and best practices required removal.

@pitdesi actually, seems the reward portion is wrong. AMEX has rewards and 0% interest in its main product.

[Patrick Wakeham 🤹🏽‍♂️ @wakehamp]

@pitdesi wrong order of concerns, but valid

[Patrick Wakeham 🤹🏽‍♂️ @wakehamp]

@jasonlk you are looking for the word "beta"

@ramez @leashless I've seen this playout in my humble Peru. Its just for fun. As much as DJT is rewarding loyalty, my guess is that he will be unable to stand the level of incompetence that he hired, and change will ensue with other maybe less loyal but more competent replacing these
