I think this is almost certainly what happened.
✏️ Did someone try to explain global supply chains to Trump using the classic “I, Pencil” example?
And was his reaction to say “People don’t need so many pencils?” 😲
And was his reaction to say “People don’t need so many pencils?” 😲
I find it fascinating that Trump has once again called for austerity on pencil consumption, given the status of this item as a quotidian miracle of the free market in Leonard Read's 1958 essay, "I, Pencil" and Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose."

In late 2020 a Chinese man called Guan Heng travelled to Xinjiang with our BuzzFeed map of detention facilities to provide ground truth for our work - he provided the first corroborating evidence for many sites.
He escaped to the US - then ICE detained him.

And then there’s the story about Alex Karp’s not-at-all-weird interview (for lack of a better word) with Oswald Mosley’s grandson for a senior position at Palantir.

"As many as 150,000 residents of El Fasher remain unaccounted for since the city fell to the RSF. They are not thought to have left the city."
So, El Fasher looks like one of the worst single event atrocities to happen this century so far, but the evidence has come in such a trickle it seems to only now be getting verified
At least 60,000 murdered in Sudanese city, which resembles ‘a slaughterhouse’
Satellite evidence shows extent of paramilitary massacre in El Fasher

it's crazy that the american response to drunk driving was to ban under-21s from drinking rather than banning drunk drivers from driving
“Drunk and drugged driving is now so common in car-centric California that drivers routinely rack up four, five, six DUIs. One woman in Fresno just got her 16th.”
California has some of the weakest DUI laws in the nation. Here, DUI-related deaths have been rising more than twice as fast as the rest of the country.
But this fall, a state bill to strengthen DUI penalties was gutted at the last minute. calmatters.org/investigatio...
