Instead of collapsing universities could use NILs in creative ways to lure niche sports. E-gamers, fencing, drone racing, and on. Outside bring a top 30 or so team in football or college basketball anymore and you’re cooked.

The more the internet pumps out associations of these folks being part of the out group, specially in public, will only begin to cement it. Flood the zone with intention. Familiarity is a powerful tool. It can be used in reverse.

It wouldn’t be so bad if everything we’ve heard from conservatives for over a decade is about how big the deficit has gotten. It’s literally on the side of a regional manufacturer up here since the first administration. They update it too!

since everyone is talking about headlines, one thing that sucks so much about them in this iteration of the internet is if they're really nuanced/very helpful a lot of people just tune it all out. if they're really catchy, they tend to elide a lot of context or don't quite describe the piece.

This should be listened to by anyone trying to understand supply chains and comparative advantage. It’s interesting the better scale Apple has achieved with true innovations in manufacturing have led to stale phone designs. These qualities aren’t fungible. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/o...
