Interested in the idea and practice and law of economic coordination. I work as a law professor at a public university. Preparing for our tryst with destiny. Homo "sapien"
I still have to look at perplexity results my dad posts in the family chat, however
one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

I worry a lot about politicians' now seemingly ubiquitous rhetorical focus on affordability being used to undermine important regulations

Anecdotally from RICO settlement talks, treble damages make it much harder for parties to reach an agreement, and I’m sure it’s encouraged companies to challenge many more cases than they otherwise would (probably leading to more judicially-made law)

I think treble damages in antitrust have subtly contributed to the narrowing of scope for enforcement, and have ended up leaving exposure in the wrong places. It's also inconsistent with a more expansive view of competition law that's about shaping economic activity more than punishing bad actors

Totally agree. Part of the answer to why this happens is that non-profit housing developers, who tend to play a big role in housing coalitions, are themselves often anti-labor.

My opinion is that you need a relatively big tent for progressive housing politics but that tent needs to include labor. I get why many of the building trades are kind of on the edge of the coalition (tho not true of the fantastic painters!)--but only in the same sense that big developers also are!

Dr Fadhel Kaboub argues that Africa can no longer afford to trade raw minerals for finished products: “Governments must invest in processing infrastructure. Refining, precursor production, and battery assembly should happen near the mines -not overseas”

How Africa plans to keep its green wealth at home
The device you are holding, built from African minerals, represents more than technology. It symbolises a choice: whether Africa rises up the value chain or remains stuck at the bottom.

"Monopoly" for the Populists was about the monopolization (concentration) of a *publicly allocated, privately exercised* privilege. (No need to argue about whether it was about "public power" or "private power")

It’s crazy to have SIX dedicated security lines at LaGuardia airport just for Clear & give them priority at the THREE general boarding lanes. This is a tax-payer funded airport that seems to be trying to force people to give their biometric info over to a private company or get squeezed & squeezed.

Yale law school was enjoyable in many ways but did briefly interrupt my political development (fortunately was able to quickly learn the other half of what I needed to know within the Los Angeles PI lawyer/labor/left ecosystem- but without that who knows, maybe i'd be jd vance right now)
I’m a law prof & a YLS grad and anyone familiar w elite law schools knows it is beyond laughable to describe these places as radicalism hotbeds. Cruz knows this, as does JD Vance. But they assume that their marks are too unsophisticated to know it too. It’s condescending as hell.
Ah yes. Harvard Law School in the early 1990s, well known for its Communist professors.

Folks, Zohran Mamdani—smart guy, reminds me of a young me—you know what he said, I told him, “Zohran, I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna say the shahada,” and he said to me “Mr. President, you should say a third line confirming your belief in the wilayat of Ali,” should we do it folks? Should we say it?

Every clip I've watched has been more insane than the last - this one's particularly remarkable because when asked "why do you think there's been more excitement around this meeting" Trump responds with a long monologue about how great and remarkable ZOHRAN is - not one single word about himself.
I think this clip is the key to understanding why Trump acted the way he did with Mamdani. His world revolves around TV ratings.
"I tell you, the press has eaten this thing up."

A reporter asks if Mamdani stands by calling Trump a fascist. Mamdani starts to give a delicate answer.
Trump (smiles, pats Mamdani's arm): "That's OK, you can just say yes. It's easier. I don't mind."
