Interesting stuff

  1. Yet another article on why America needs to drop pennies… and the lobbying of the industry that makes silly profits whiole arguing it’s “un-American” and “anti-Lincoln” to do so. Kill the penny!
  2. Listen to Anne Applebaum (who knows a lot) on dictators.
  3. Stores are getting smaller, with less selection, to compete with online retail.
  4. Florida insurers are going bankrupt, due to a combination of losses (not surprising) and “regulatory arbitrage” by lawyers (‘merica, fuck yeah!)
  5. American is wasting billions fighting climate change giving money to lobbying special interests.
  6. A climate-sensitive man is suing the Austrian government for failing to reduce harm to him. He’s the first of billions who SHOULD sue governments for their choice of cheap fossil fuels now over the future of human civilization.
  7. Shein is making $billions because consumers care more about cheap clothes than (a) labor exploitation and (b) ripping off creators’ livelihoods.
  8. Heat will kill more of us than any other climate chaos impact. Listen.
  9. Russia finds its useful idiots among YouTube “influencers”
  10. Listen to this discussion of managing your time rather than going insane
