If anyone is interested, this podcast provides a really good deep dive of covid origin by actual experts in the topic (3 virologists who study virus origins). In short, zoonotic origin much more likely based on the evidence, but lab leak theory not completely insane. If I had to bet I'd put it...

This case is pretty slam dunk. Should be an easy guilty verdict on some of the charges. Michael Cohen already went to prison for the same events.

That addresses the supply side of the equation, but not the demand side. Why is the demand for such interviews (seemingly) so low? Or maybe I'm wrong here, a lot of people will complain about such an interview but still watch it, but even then, why such a negative reaction?

So more than ever, I'm seeing an extreme negative reaction to an interviewer who challenges and probes an interviewee in a very direct and forceful manner. Sometimes the way the interviewer asks the question is more from a devil's advocate postion, trying to steelman the opposite view...

Great article regarding New Zealand's successes in greatly easing zoning restrictions, its subsequent housing construction boom, and it's effect on prices: Some highlights: https://www.apricitas.io/p/new-zealands-building-boomand-what

The housing certainly needs to be built where people want to live and costs are high, not these government ghost cities. Take San Francisco, as an example. There are these three storey old historical housing units everywhere in prime areas. Makes absolutely no sense. They should be replaced...

There hasn't been much decline in government share of revenue over time. See the chart here. In fact it has been pretty consistent, hovering between 15%-20% of GDP. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/FYFRGDA188S So economic growth from AI will almost certainly mean more tax revenue.

Wages and income have been increasing. Just not as rapidly as many people would like. One huge reason for the lackluster real wage growth is the cost of rent/housing. One huge part of the solution to that is supply, supply, supply. Governments need to get out of the way and make it...

There is no reason whatsoever to think that AI replacing knowledge/office type jobs would destroy capitalism or put everyone out of work. What would be expected is wages for jobs that can't be replaced by AI to go up, job creation in those areas (think personal services, construction...

Just watched the new documentary The Truth vs Alex Jones which chronicles his Sandy Hook hoax lies and subsequent lawsuits. The ease at which this man lies non-stop and his inability to stop lying, even when given a court order, is astounding. At one point, he is given a court order not to...

The valuation is based on the current price of DWAC shares. One share of DWAC divided by the percentage ownership of the post-merger company one share will provide gives the total value of the company. Trump's portion of that value is equal to his post-merger percentage ownership of the...

Nope, just the gullible willingly letting themselves get fleeced along with speculative gamblers trying to make profitable short term trades. The shares have been highly volitile ever since it was announced they were planning to merge with Trump's company. A change of 25% in the value of the...

Trump is a master at fleecing his followers, who willingly give up their cash for him and his causes. They are willing to pay any price to own a piece of his business and help out their hero. Meanwhile, I'm sure he is already trying to come up with schemes to bleed them for the maximum...

Something more on topic, and I hope we can all agree this is extremely vile: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcna143094 IoW, MAGA wants to make it illegal to hire transgender individuals for some jobs solely based on them being transgender. Extremely sickening 🤢
