Asset allocators like private equity because those marks haven't change in the past week.

Tonight. August 6th,2024 Grand Rapids, MI. My 1800th show lighting Phish. Completely Insane :)

Excited for everyone to return to their regularly scheduled programming. Political pundits with every thumb swipe. #moveon

NYT conservative columnist Bret Stephens hit it right on the head with this.

From the nation’s beginnings, Americans have usually known whom to root for — those who seek freedom. In spurning Ukrainian President Zelensky, President Trump is now reorienting not just American foreign policy, but America’s moral compass. My take:

The people who start the wars don’t fight them, the people who spend the taxes don’t pay them, and the people who forgive the criminals don’t live next to them. Of course we’re going to have too many wars, too much spending, and too much crime.

While I’m excited about a Strategic Reserve, I was surprised by the digital assets being contemplated. Bitcoin is the only asset that meets the bar for a store of value reserve asset. Maybe Ethereum. Digital gold and digital oil. Which mirrors America’s physical reserves of gold

While the Donald J. Trump Administration is right in saying universities have been wrongly accepting of antisemitism, it should not obscure two central realities. First, that it would be illegal and likely unconstitutional, as well as threatening prosperity and national

Look at this. They are restoring a single parameter to 20th century levels in the hope of restoring the 20th century. But it doesn’t work like that. IBM can set their prices to 1945 levels without recovering the dominance of 1945. Tariffs aren’t time machines.

Seems like many people in the current administration spend way too much time online (among other problems) and what we are all going to experience as a result shows the sheer stupidity of internet brain and its very real consequences. It's peak dumb-times indeed.

"Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act appropriately allows that federal funding of universities can be made contingent on their avoiding discrimination. But as a recent statement by a group of leading law professors points out, it also protects against this power’s being used to

Worth reading. Gavin Baker is spot on here.

Ironically, one symptom of deindustrialization is that many commenters have never actually managed a physical business. So. Suppose your US company imports $1M of high quality parts, and adds in its own components to produce finished goods sold for $1.2M per batch. Your gross
