Most innovative and disruptive (and generally just profoundly interesting) company that hardly anyone knows about in the grand scheme of things.

Econ professor espousing on the stock market lol. As someone with a couple dumb fancy Econ degrees and whose career has been quite good in the stock market, this comment made me laugh.

One framework I like to use is, “If this thing didn’t exist today, and someone proposed it, how would people react to it?”

I think it’s fair to say that if none of this existed today, and someone proposed that the federal government simply give universities like Harvard seemingly endless billions, it would be laughed out of existence by republicans and democrats alike. All of this is the product of inertia at best, corruption at worst. It’s a different world today and we don’t need our tax dollars going to these places.

What a life.

This is so stupid.

YouTube can only stop if it the guy goes on Joe Rogan, then they can screw around with it with impunity.

Now apply this to every private business and their hiring practices and let me know how things shake out and whether people are happy about the results.

Is this isn’t the top comment I’ll be sad.

The author wrongly implies that if Center Parcs was just owned by a public company or an individual, that those controlling entities would simply not care about making a profit and wouldn’t charge the prices they do. Author also ignores inconvenient facts such as how the private equity firms actually spent a lot of money upgrading parks in order to make them the desirable locations they are today. I suppose author would’ve preferred they be kept in disarray but cheap?? I could go on but no point. This kind of left wing economic ignorance (redundant?) is tiring but sadly expected. Private equity isn’t perfect but it’s been made out to be some sort of bogeyman it’s demonstrably not.

There needs to be some remedy for these handful of companies that manage to break the game like they reached the kill screen in Pac Man.

Covid didnt have a greater impact on black and Latino people, it had a greater impact on overweight people.

I bet the treatment costs somewhere around $350,000.

These should be approved on the condition that the patients pay into escrow and get refunded one day if the drug fails trials.

I have no idea whether Katherine Maher is currently or was some sort of intelligence agent or not, though having seen the fact pattern the theory is far from crazy. What I do know is that she is a stereotypical insane phony wokie (I don't think she genuinely believes any of this stuff, it's just good for business and her bank account and status) and that alone disqualifies her from running anything other than a soup kitchen in my book. NPR makes the ACLU look like it's staying true to its mission.

Remember when there was no net neutrality and everything...worked great?
