41 minutes of watching two shipwrecked men trying to flip a boat and signaling for surrender/help before firing on them again reminds me of the 9.5 minutes Derek Chauvin knelt on George Floyd’s neck, in that it’s an agonizingly long time to be killing helpless people who clearly posed no threat.

Econ 101 midterm question: Based on what you know about risk pools and adverse selection in healthcare markets, will giving people money instead of giving them money to buy health insurance lead these markets to function more effectively, or will it just lead more people to be uninsured?

There's a lotta silliness and falsehoods in this statement, but I'm going to focus on the bigger issue: It is immoral to make low-income folks and their hungry children political pawns. Need is need.

This pic from Chicago today made me ponder how we see many enormous post-election rallies against Trump, but we never see enormous rallies *for* Trump. Sure, we see a score of people on the roadside with flags every so often, but nothing like this. Maybe he's just not as popular as he thinks he is.

The problem with our current political chaos is that it leads businesses to compete for carveouts, rather than competing in the market.

Over the last few weeks, we have seen displays of unfettered cruelty.
Cruelty isn’t power. It’s a primal display of weakness and ignorance.
Kindness and empathy are intelligence. We must never forget that.
