Apropos of nothing, a reminder that German stock markets kept climbing in an almost uninterrupted fashion in the run-up to WW2. Investors are really, really bad at pricing serious institutional and political risks.

I say this often but Germany was the preeminent research power until 1933 and in 100 since years has never caught up to where it was before the purge of Jews
US has had hegemony over science since WW2, it has made US rich & powerful with academic dominance spilling into tech dominance. With Musk/Trump squashing funding & free speech & immigration we are going to quickly lose that to EU & China & India, who will stop sending their best & brightest to US.
