I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe."
But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment.

this is good! regular people being stupid means they become destitute. rich people being stupid means they become less rich. we would all be better served by reading matt levine’s daily column
a friend recently asked me if I was an accredited investor and so I looked it up and this is a very funny illustration of how our legal and financial system are set up. special privileges if you are corporations, specially regulated and jump through hoops, or just are very rich
