Economic Man

I can't believe how often I find myself using this quote these days.

The whole movie is great. And the very unlikely choice of Fred Gwynne as the judge was inspired. This is another jewel of a scene. youtube.com/watch?v=7DpMwDgx…

Here is your periodic reminder (from the WSJ this time) that @CathieDWood and @ARKInvest are among the most incompetent fund managers on the planet: 18X the fees of Vanguard's low cost ETF to lag an index by 130%. A typical Tesla bull: a moron.

The incredible idiocy of @JDVance is that he has sold his soul in order to take up the MAGA mantle after Trump, but even he must be realizing that this will be a poisoned chalice. Reminds me of this scene. youtube.com/watch?v=XqSGSVHA…

Can I suggest Munich as the location for this meeting? Just in case anyone misses the parallel. The first time was tragedy. This second time would be farce.

I used to half-heartedly defend Mike Johnson as doing his best with an impossible job. But I gave up a long time ago. This guy is just nauseating.

It's bad enough that the Nobel committees keep overlooking Donnie for a peace prize, but if he doesn't get the call early Monday morning for his exciting work on applied optimal tariff theory, then they will show their real bias.

If you wanted to summarize the absurdity of the French system of "les acquis" ("entitlements") in one graph, it would be this, combined with the political battles over any reforms and the plans of both leading contenders to replace Macron to EXPAND this system.

David, you are a great guy, but you should read this book: empathy (like sincerity, as Milton Friedman observed) is a greatly overrated "virtue." @JonahDispatch

If you wanted one photograph to summarize socialism, this is a good choice: a headline about schools formerly closed because of power/water crises over a picture of kids underneath photos of Glorious Leader. This should be on the DSA website. @DemSocialists @scottlincicome
