I once knew a Federal bank examiner, and one time someone asked him why we had to KEEP inspecting banks over and over. He basically said every new batch of business school grads invents bank fraud from first principles.

The underlying cause of every bubble - debt masquerading as financial innovation - depends on not just short financial memory & speculative neophytism, but reinventing jargon of finance, like how each generation of kids has new ways to say same things.

The domino meme and the smallest domino is "Craigslist destroys classified ad revenue for local newspapers" and the big domino is, well, everything happening now
one of the underrated factors for the rise in scamming across U.S. society is the death of local media.
It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.

In 1981, eight Louisiana hillbillies tried to invade Dominica, kill Eugenia Charles, and take over the government. One was Don Black, who later founded Stormfront. They claimed at trial that Ron Paul knew about their plan and encouraged them.

I think these numbers remind us that we need to grapple with whether Twitter gets the amount of attention it does because people use it or because journalists still use it as their assignment editor and as the laziest, most inaccurate “Here’s the word on the street” source on earth.
NEW: YouTube remains king of the social media platforms in @pewresearch.org polling, with 84% of US adults saying they use it. TikTok, Instagram, WhatsApp and Reddit are notable gainers in recent years. Five times more adults use X than Bluesky (21% vs. 4%). www.pewresearch.org/internet/202...

basically every single measure of academic achievement is correlated with family income for pretty obvious reasons. the ~20% of SAT variation explained by family SES makes it one of the measures *least* determined by this.
And then we can go on to discuss the fact the only consistent correlation for SAT scores (as well as other standardized educational assessments) is to family income level--which in turn is nicely correlated to race/ethnicity for minoritized Americans.

One thing people underrate is how territorial law enforcement is. Even when these cops are fundamentally in sympathy with the "Let's crack skulls" affect of federal law enforcement, they will always resent other cops coming onto their Turf to do it.
