do think a huge issue with american manufacturing across all subset of the sector is that vast majority of firms are smaller, barely professional firms with middling producitivity and the advanced/big firms generally rely on the shitty middle/bottom for their supply chain

I know it sounds very squishy but truly believe that I order for democracy to survive more Americans have to learn to love themselve and demand better options, or BE the better options, otherwise they will continue to accept crumbs, vibes, and abuse from ambitious narcissists and power fetishists
i think that’s very possibly correct but trump didn’t expect to win and the electorate is desperate and scared and a lot of these people have no history of having to ask for better.

Replace "good" with "American" and you got a slogan.
And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

Stubb's predecessor was known as having a deep understanding of Putin and being able to predict his next moves. Somehow that quality seemed more useful than whatever this wishful thinking is a reflection of.
President Stubb:
I think we are in a critical moment in negotiations for peace and at the same time we're probably closer to a peace agreement than we have been at any time during these four years. And of course we're working right now pretty much on three documents.

Why am I so unimpressed by these strikes? Israel and the US have failed to target significant elements of Iran's nuclear materials and production infrastructure. RISING LION and MIDNIGHT HAMMER are tactically brilliant, but may turn out to be strategic failures. 🧵 1/17

the political lesson everyone should take from Iraq is that you will regret being in favor of this sooner or later and the earlier you were against it the better off you’ll be
ignore the media frenzy and stake your position now, it’s the right thing to do and it’s the ambitious thing to do too

This goes back to the thing of: it's massively helpful to do something you suck at. To experience the experience of not being good at something, starting it from scratch, struggling to improve at it over a long time.
People who don't do this, tend to suck shit.

An interesting thing in pretty much anything you could possibly study, is that over-confident dipshits never want to do or talk about the boring stuff, the basic stuff.
They always want to jump right to the cutting edge, the most abstract and sexiest stuff.
