Interesting stuff

  1. “The government should tax the super rich and burn the money.” Agreed. Listen in. And more by Gary — a very interesting explainer of his background and what to do when society fails.
  2. More podcasts by Gary: How I lost faith in the economists and the rich won’t leave if you tax them, since their wealth is businesses and property!
  3. Trump’s election and affinity for running cons means that the bad actors in crypto are going to get a free pass…. and a lot of people are going to lose money.
  4. Listen to how the Japanese housing policy can help the “housing crisis”
  5. Watch a few lawyers explain how The Onion™ bought InfoWars. This case will be in the legal settlements and auctions textbooks!
  6. Where’s the dirty side of a hurricane? Watch.
  7. How the crazy right (Jordan Peterson et al.) turned the “15 minute city” into a conspiracy. Listen.
  8. The US republic is, flaws and all, perhaps the most striking success in world history. Is it possible that its strengths are now combining with its weaknesses to overthrow that legacy?
  9. Listen to an interview with the economist (?) driving bureaucratic reform in Argentina. The discussion can apply to Musk’s DOGE, but this guy had 1.5 years to prepare the reforms; Musk has 1.5 months (and a tiny bit of attention).
  10. Is the U.S. Sleeping on Threats from Russia and China? Yes. Listen.
