The Wealthy In This Country Would Poison Us For The Sake Of Profit!!!

I think people reeeeealllly overestimate the role of trade and industrial policy in US dominance of heavy industry in the 1950s and really underestimate the importance of having dropped high explosives on every facility in Japan or Germany capable of manufacturing a ball bearing

It feels ridiculous to be a SF writer and rail so much against this sort of thing but, like GenAI, the existence of this kind of misdirection is actively going to set back real research because it will hoover up the support and funding with large promises, and deliver nothing of value.

This includes: Panic of 1873 and Long Depression 1873-1879 Depression of 1882-1885 Recession of 1887-1888 Recession of 1890-1891 Panic of 1893 (-1894) Panic of 1896 (1895-1897) Recession of 1899-1900 Recession of 1902-1904 Panic of 1907 (-1908) Panic of 1910-1911 and Recession of 1913-1914

Conflating being smart and being rich has been one our biggest mistakes and the US will never live it down

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die. Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

ACTUALLY LEAVE ME OUT OF YOUR NEFARIOUS PLOTS, CHEERS.

every day my brain is just "goddamn these stupid goddamn motherfucking fucks"

Today a co-worker told me I'd be a great life coach. Which only confirms my previous judgment that he had very poor observational skills.

I've lost track of time. Every couple of days someone likes a reply I posted and I think "That was a year ago." No, that was 46 days ago. Everything moves so fast now.

Yep. My feed has more people complaining about Democrats than about Trump. It’s ridiculous.

"I just don't understand how our country is like this now, this has never been who we are." 1/x

And if that ever changes, we're shooting Matthew McConaughey into a black hole.
