I think it's underrated how bad Trump's attacks on the separation of powers, rule of law, and abuse of executive authority are. These are abstract concepts, and it's hard to see the long term consequences of a less free society.

The bar to impeach presidents seems way too high. Biden's making up of Constitutional amendments seems obviously impeachable. So does Trump's promise to ignore the 14th amendment.

I know it's a highly political day and emotions are running high but I will not be commenting on the ongoing LTT/GN thing.

I am pro schools banning cell phones. Kids need to learn how to circumvent arbitrary authority with technology.

I am surprised that Trump endorsed the more legal immigration position of the tech right over the nativists. I would have lost money on this bet.

Very interesting that the US has let in 100 million immigrants, 50 million over the last century, more than any other country. And yet American wages are the highest in the world.

Elon says that soon, builders “will be free to build” in America. If that promise is to be fulfilled, we have work to do.

Let people build!
America's housing stock is the oldest it's ever been and just keeps getting older. We don't have enough homes in this country and too much of what we have is dated and decaying.

If you're ever feeling useless, just remember there are still news outlets that report the Dow Jones Industrial Average.

Well that's way higher than I'd like. www.metaculus.com/questions/26...
Will there be any reported human-to-human transmission of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 globally before 2026?

I think the polio vaccine is good and polio is bad.

So you have a rich kid tech bro. Natalist, squishy centrist. Then something happens, psychotic break? Ayahuasca? And you get an anti-corporate violent murderer. Seems like a brutal commentary on left-wing radicalism if you need a mental break to make it relatable.

I have a dumb edge lord leftwing friend who posts terrible takes. But what's amazing about this meme is that being sad isn't some unsolvable thing; we have wonder drugs now which can help cure depression! And what's crazy here is they were created via good regulations and incentives in healthcare!

I am once again asking for college football to use the superior NFL overtime rules. Field position matters.

My plan for America:
1. Increase US Residency cap by 20% over 10 years
2. Repeal the Jones Act, create $5 billion slush fund for any current Jones Act beneficiaries
3. Christmas music banned before Thanksgiving

Good discussion of the specific ways in which Trump's personalization of power could be used.

It's interesting how relatively easy it is to deal with my car insurance (which I can switch from at any time) versus my health insurance (which I'm stuck with based on my employer). Wonder why that is...
