I’m 10 second in and she’s sung “bad things happen when you hear my name”

And no notes.

Now, to never open that player again

Too tall. We need to recruit someone who is 5’ 10’’ to do this.

Checking in from my home office in my outer suburban house

I want to want to live in a city But I have kids now and just don’t

Some of this might be “if you build it they will come” If I could get a 2300 sq ft townhouse in a city with good schools I might want it. But that is currently impossible

How much of this is just that the industry is super secretive and if you pull Digital Realty’s 10-K, hit ctrl+f and type GPU, you get exactly zero hits.

Even if true true, what that says is that continuing the status quo housing distribution isn’t more expensive

That may be an important fact, but if you think housing costs pose a challenge to young professionals getting back into cities OR the urban poor, you gotta look at urban rent.

I’m actually surprised every time bitcoin turns out to be robust to anything

When I was in my 20s and maybe early 30s and way, way more into college sports, I used to think I’d be great to be able to easily drop $15 or so on betting on Eastern Michigan vs Ball State and a couple of other truely sicko games.

Now I realize it would have absolutely fucked me up

Several years ago, there was a story about the gambling apps paying campus bars to install bookie-owned and programmed TVs that constantly bombarded away-from-home-for-the-first-time 18 year olds with odds and promos

Australia has been doing this for five years or so. My understanding is that it hasn’t been working out all that well for anyone but the partners.

“Importance: High”

I mean, what the fuck?

I think if the right person got him jawboning about political correctness and how you can’t tell dirty jokes anymore and then just asked him what is the youngest girl he’s had sex with, he’d answer honestly

If the suggestion is “do things to make people feel more economically stable” you have to square that with the fact that actually making them more economically stable demonstrably does not necessarily make them feel more economically stable.

So how do you make them feel more economically stable?
November 11, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Maybe, but actually materially improving the economy is, at a minimum, not sufficient to make feel people be more economically stable. (Interesting question whether it’s even necessary)

It seems to me then that the way to make people feel more stable is with messaging, but am open to suggestions
November 11, 2025 at 9:27 PM
I square it because people who were better off in 2024 thought either they or the economy were worse off, and they were wrong about that.
November 11, 2025 at 9:21 PM
I’m not smart enough to craft that message, and I dont think Will is either, but getting to that message starts by recognizing what’s real and what’s feelings, not by assuming feelings are real.
November 11, 2025 at 9:18 PM
They got it in their head that egg prices meant the economy was shit, when it wasn’t. So yeah, I do think the winning message is one that gets into voters heads that there’s more to prosperity than egg prices.
November 11, 2025 at 9:18 PM
This is a narrative problem. Failure to effectively counter it cost dems the election.

Now - Will may not be effectively countering it either. But if dems are losing based on feelings, not facts (and they did). Changing facts won’t help. Dems need to change feelings.
November 11, 2025 at 9:15 PM
Genuine answer: in 2024 the disparity between economic data and perception of economy demonstrated that a lot of the economic anxiety is either factually wrong (they’re not worse off) or based on fear that others are worse off (even though they’re not).

This dude’s cars have a mad max mode that let the driver assistance systems ignore speed limits….

For experts, this has always been controversial. The government has never paid doctors, scientists or lawyers competitivly

Good experts who worked for the government have always taken big pay cuts to serve the public

It’s why the revolving door is inevitable and needs to be managed, not banned

Pretty sure he’s mixing up the run down strip mall in Toledo, Ohio with some of the most expensive commercial real estate in the country.

More shoes that tell me that, if anything, the price of shoes has remained remarkably stable over 100 years.

Were some of these Sears catalog (high volume, relatively low quality) better than what you can get today? Quite possibly. But they’re not notably cheaper.
November 11, 2025 at 3:09 PM
I’d like to see those advertised shoes dissected, but my hunch is 1925 WalMart shoes are a lot of cardboard, and real work shoes were closer to 200 in 2025 dollars
