Episode 524: Mr Jones' Act

The government suspended the Jones Act last week, to allow non-US ships to move fuel to victims of hurricanes in Houston and Florida. Which once again made us wonder why the act even exists.

<<If Bolton had been a mid-level analyst or field officer, this case would have been open-and-shut years ago. The only reason it took this long is because of who he was.>>

No, it took this long because Joe Biden is an incompetent vegetable.

<<As a former CIA officer who held the same clearances Bolton had, I have to say this: this one is different. Unlike the threadbare indictments of James Comey or Letitia James, this one is earned. >>

This indictment was the product of serious investigation by career prosecutors. Bolton knew the law and willingly chose to violate it. And he lied to the FBI about it. Bolton’s goose is cooked.

Former CIA Officer: After Reviewing the Indictment - John Bolton Deserves Prosecution

Trump maybe guilty of political vengeance--but Bolton clearly appears to have broken the law egregiously.

Where were Veggie Joe and his admin then?

I don't know the details but it's a shame that Bolton is caught up in Trump's political witch hunt. He'll also be able to argue it's vindictive prosecution.

The reason is that the Dems are the socioeconomically superior to conservative voters on average.

The cons voters thus have an inferiority complex - thus if you make fun of them, they get self-conscious.

When Dems are made of fun in crass ways, it's "punching up".

Just describing.

Adams may be the last politician who was open about eating a predominantly plant-based diet.

If you want to improve NYC's rents, try tearing down all the sh*tty WW2 buildings and build modern apartments instead.

-Several Mamdani dunks on Cuomo were good.
-The rent in NYC is too low because of rent control. You can try imposing price controls all you want; it won't change the fact that demand is vastly greater than supply.
-All 3 are animal abusers, per their breakfasts.

<<The average price of a pound of lean ground beef rose 12% so far this year and 38% versus five years ago>>

May it be even more expensive, inshallah - I pray to Allah (peace be unto Him) everyday.

Trump's cognitive functions may improve if he stops eating meat. I don't know if that's good.

Rising beef prices are putting more pressure on the growing share of consumers who say it's gotten harder to afford groceries.

Meanwhile, my dude here has performed below the index in the 9 of past 10 years.

All these value investors are unrepentant baggies.

Soaring stock market valuations buoy spending which then buoys stock market valuations. It’s an infinite money making machine.

My brothers and sisters in the UK (and protestors from other European countries with monarchs) need some soul searching to do.

My orange brother of the art of the deal, you dodged the Vietnam draft, too. I don’t think it’s a good idea to concentrate on Blumenthal’s dodging in that sense.

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

It's a demanding requirement.

Just getting people to walk briskly an hour every day would go a long way but even that is a stretch - especially in the US where most people drive everywhere and the cities, suburbs are designed for driving.

To be fair, ~80% of the population can't do a pull-up. It's hard.

I'm guessing they can't go smaller anymore - they just find improvements in other places.

I just noticed this. An atom has on average has a diameter on the order of 0.1nm to 0.5nm.

The most advanced transistor technology has shrunk transistor dimensions to ~50nm, I think.

I laughed about Huel being “spiritually bad.” I also wish one could just trust media outlets that break news about supposedly troubling contamination to not lean into the story at the cost of scientific accuracy.
