Seneca’s idea was that wealth should be limited to what is needed and enough - something no billionaire seems to understand.
Understanding must be forced.

I have a sneaking suspicion that there will just be an equal amount of Democrats that stand to reap the windfall of a Nazi administration that we're never going to be rid of this section of Nazis w/o a more permanent method.
the recent embrace from those like JD vance of genuine nazism into the republican party has created such a fascinatingly large schism within the party that’s continuously playing out very publicly and i hope it keeps happening
I think this is an another data point concerning where things are going, nothing more. but, it’s worth a read. reason.com/volokh/2025/...

a slightly different angle but I found out that a few archives around LA had old books bound in human skin so I did a story about unusually bound books and of course I had to go look at and touch them all. My favorite was a copy of "Moby Dick" in whale dick skin

I think this strengthens the case for Stancilism.
Immediate post pandemic economy was *weird* in a way that made it hard to compare it to similar years.
But we've got low unemployment and low inflation now. Very hard to make the case that now is worse than the Volcker shock.

I want the people who make everyone uncomfortable, who make the world unaffordable, who make an egalitarian society untenable to be uncomfortable in prison.
Essentially, I want people who do bad things to go to bad places where they can't do the bad things anymore.
