I don’t disagree with you at all. I think the corporate class ought to be held responsible. However, I’m not a fan of individuals being the judge, jury, and executioner. Part of the power of the Nuremberg trials, for example, was the exposing of evil and proving the individuals were tied to it. It would’ve been quite different had the Allied forces simple shot the Nazi leaders dead without any sort of trial.

I mean, the guy did plead guilty lol.

I’m failing to see the disconnect. Someone can want healthcare reform in the US without supporting cold-blooded murder lol.

Always good to give more access to software. I have no use for it, but I very well could in the future.

I believe so, yes. Other to a the well-documented issues that arose from the information problem, Vivek Chibber has done some recent work on the incentive problems that also plague Soviet-style command economies. https://confrontingcapitalism.substack.com/p/why-soviet-style-planning-fails

Not only does it make sense from a global perspective, but it also makes sense economically. China would still be in the gutter if they didn’t have market engagement. The USSR, for example, failed dramatically at trying to have a strictly command-based economy.

I’ll wait and see which way the Democrats decide to go. If it’s another “come together, let’s bring back bipartisanship” deal, then it’s a waste to cast a blue ballot.

The same was said in 2024. And 2020. And 2016. And every election before that.

Word of advice: Don’t consume YouTube at all if you don’t want to support bad people.

I don’t see the evangelical brand of Christianity persisting into the future. It’s an odd lot anyway, but I think it’s the end of the rope.
