It is unfathomable that the USG lawyers would sign off on a no-survivors boat strike (no get of jail free card).
There's clear precedent dating back to World War II trial of Germans for that very act, which lawyers know well.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?

The New School for Social Research not doing Social Research is a microcosm of the principal agent problem in Higher Ed. Boards/upper admin don't understand or want to understand the University mission. So they run them like businesses. Because they don't know said business they're run poorly.
The New School is now a place where students cannot major in History, Anthropology, Sociology, Global Policy & International Affairs, Global Studies, Urban Studies, or Environmental Studies. And more pauses, closures, and mergers coming down the pike this week. The future is uncertain.

A theme that comes up whenever I talk to folks who work with LLMs: The tool demands domain expertise AND a faculty of judgment, yet the people most indebted to LLMs lack both.
this is a recurring theme I've seen. people think LLMs reduce the need for understanding of things and act like it. but every successful use I've seen has as a prerequisite a demonstrable and generally deeper understanding of the topic and objective

Buy Now Pay Later syndicated receivables and Data Center bonds/asset backed securities are certainly going to be an interesting mix. Nothing existential like ARM subprime mortgages, but another year of this and I'd get worried.
something I've taken to doing lately is texting my mother, who worked decades in corporate finance, my restrained and reasonably informed thoughts on the global financial system and seeing how dire I can get before she starts arguing

Robert Moses, just one guy, nixed a proposed rapid transit line along the Long Island Expressway as he built it. All he had to do was leave a space in the middle divider for the line. NOPE!
I mean it's not this simple but a handful of policy elites really did drastically reengineer our urban fabric in ways that were popular in the immediate term and created massive social dysfunction beyond that.
Because a lot of leftists/progressives have pseudo conspiratorial models of reality where they think the only reason Americans live in suburbs is bc GM tore up the streetcar lines in LA etc.

I think a big part of this was: too few cars to buy, so prices go up a lot,+people are flush with cash from hot labor/stimmies= "fuck it, we need the loan production and we can't underwrite these things on pre Covid baselines"
2021-2022 was an absolutely WILD stretch of bad risk management from the auto lending industry. Just bonkers.

I’m being glib but I’m semi-serious about this: send more white collar criminals to prison; prison conditions will improve
I‘m tired of being nice about this; “abolitionism” has had years to develop a non-idiot policy program and the best they’ve come up with is ”murder without even the pretense of juridical process.” And I am not nut-picking; this is all over abolitionist writing.

The Shutdown, Elections, and Epstein triad has broken Trump's mystique. GOP realizing that they don't have a governing strategy beyond accelerating the things already breaking their 2024 coalition. Fun times!
like i don't want to put too fine a point on this, but Trump looks -incredibly- lame ducky right now. He's disinherting members of the party, he can't stop votes in the house, his massive redistricting push is stalling out and he's yelling at random state senators.

First of many I think. Einsatzgruppe who massacred civilians and POWs often committed suicide. It's one of the reasons why death camps were developed.

Today, Starbucks workers in 40+ cities began a historic ULP strike. But we’re NOT finished.
We're prepared to escalate with more stores striking if we don’t see substantial progress toward finalizing contracts that address pay, hours/staffing, and the resolution of 100s of ULPs.

I know staples are getting massacred on store brands, inflation, tarrifs, and dividend+debt loads but seems like CPGs are a good hunting ground? Looking at $EPC atm.
