we're for meritocracy, except half the population shouldn't be permitted to compete.
the synthesis here is you want macro bailed-out while micro churns. productivity gains mostly happen via new entrants or at least new plant. a downturn should be an incredible opportunity for new entrants, as the worst of the old crash and burn! 1/

but for it to be an opportunity for new entrants, end customers still need to have cash to spend, even while it is some of their employers who have crashed and burned. that's where state transfers, spending, and lending have an essential role. 2/
i think distinctions within the group that once identified as jewish have grown very stark, between tendencies one might identify as diasporist on the one hand and nationalist on the other. i think it's quite the fissure at this point, wider in the US than all prior divisions.
what is this fantasy football? let’s hold people actually in power responsible for a policy response.
my identity is increasingly diasporist. it matters less and less just who or what it was a diaspora of. diaspora is a situation, a circumstance all its own, one that reminds a person of how desperately essential it is to treat “the other”, any and every, as human with equal rights and dignities.

this is quite a chart. i wonder if it reflects a view that states will no longer act effectively against the use of cryptographic privacy to engage in criminal behavior.
I think it’s too little noted how, for all that is to be lamented about Biden’s inability to communicate what he was doing right (IRA, CHIPS, anti-monopoly), and for all he did catastrophically wrong (foreign policy), he and his party did much better with its public than Britain’s Keir-Starmer-ism.
