I had two handsets on my old IPC turret in the 2000s and I was on the buy side! I miss that turret so much, man. The only thing that feels more “Wall Street pro” than a turret to me is having a Bloomberg

Ahhh, the mid 2000s on Wall Street. It wasn’t exactly 1987 but there was still a little bit of 1987 about the place.

I was at this large group meeting with an analyst and he was presenting about something I didn’t really care about and I was fresh off a red eye and I dozed off and everybody gave me hell about it for years so yeah, falling asleep on the job is Not Great

For the record, I have fallen asleep during boring meetings even when I was in my 20s. But the story is very different when the cameras are rolling

The culture we are known for in American society. What, you mean being the land of immigrants and the place whose culture absorbs bits of everything in the world and then goes out and overruns it?

When I started supporting Arsenal 15 odd years ago there was one official pub for matchdays, with an overflow pub down the street for the big ones. Nowadays there’s I think 6 official pubs?

I was gonna say, the way I would have liked to have seen was more points for Arsenal and I can’t imagine we were getting anything at 11 v 11 given how the game played out with a man advantage.

The match remained good and interesting at 10 v 11

I think the difference at the heart of your contention here (described in your second sentence) is very real from a policy perspective but not actually distinguishable from a messaging perspective (which could possibly be changed with changes to the messaging, but that gets back to my point)

Even if you believe that, and I don’t, you don’t have to lean into that messaging if it’s not an election winner

This has been a profoundly odd game in a lot of ways, but if you go back to the NBA’s four-letter North Star, well, MOML won’t guide you wrong

And that is a word I’m keying in on in a big way. I’m not taking it 100% literally, but I’m associating it with lines like “every billionaire is a policy failure” that I think go badly against the grain of a culture that believes in the pursuit of wealth as being the American dream

I don’t think things like bringing the lifetime exemption back down to $5m or raising taxes by a couple percent - or even adding a higher top bracket that pays a couple percentage points more - is anything approaching a “ceiling.”

I’m in no position to weigh in on what those guys think, I don’t pay attention to them. But I am firmly of the view that Liz Warren rhetoric is not the political winner nationally that people who really like Liz Warren think it should be.

I’m a believer that America should roll back multiple rounds of tax cuts for the wealthy and use the money to fund investment in the country that’s desperately needed. But I think it will be more salient politically the whole country, not just the biggest cities, if the focus is on the investment
