There was a time not too long ago where we would ask why nobody intervened to protect these women.
Nobody is asking that question now.

Currently reading "When Money Dies" the history of hyperinflation in Weimar Germany.
One of the wildest aspects I never knew was that early on people all thought they were getting rich.
They were selling hard assets for what they thought were insanely high prices in marks!

There were two opposing teams inside the Kamala campaign.
One wanted to do interviews, the other didn't.
Today the "do interviews" team won but the "don't do interviews" team was vindicated.

Want to share why I will never use @StubHub again.
Bought 4 tickets to a Broadway show for tonight. Brought three kids. At 4pm we get notification that our purchased tickets will NOT be delivered.
Miserable. But we're in NYC what are we going to do? There are no comparable tickets so we have to buy new ones at $600 more total.
Get to theater and are told they're counterfeit. Join (not kidding) 7 other groups all calling StubHub with the same problem.
Ticket Lady: "this happens every night." The ticket counter even handed out cards with the StubHub phone number on it because it happens so much.
So StubHub gives us new tickets and...they're counterfeit too.
So that's our night. Made a big deal about taking our kids to Hamilton because it was a rough summer for them and we are now on a bus home, no show.
Have deleted the app off my phone and will never touch this company again.

This is your reminder that Jeff Bezos already had it all.
Playing with your girlfriend on a yacht will not compare to taking your grandkids on adventures. Or having the family home at holidays because they want to hang out with you.

It's strange to think of how quickly society "forgot" all this.
I would have guessed this election would have been a referendum on vaccine mandates, school shutdowns, and the villains who developed and covered up covid.
But it's all some hazy memory from another lifetime.
Thanks to President @JoeBiden’s leadership, the Department of Labor will require any business with 100 or more employees to ensure their workforce is vaccinated against COVID-19 or tests negative at least once per week.
Vaccine requirements save lives.

To use your analogy, one is allowed to yell fire in a theater if there is an actual fire.
Dr. Malone believes that there is an actual fire in the theater and others do not.
Rather than investigate whether there's a fire, we are just banning him from yelling.

Do these people not understand that the fees are paid by riders, not Lyft? It's the purest form of a marketplace that even an 8 year old could understand the unit economics in a few minutes.
Like hundreds of Lyft users, I received an email today that they’re leaving Mpls on May 1st.
What they fail to mention is that they’re choosing to “leave” because they simply do not want to pay their drivers, a largely Black & immigrant workforce, our minimum wage of $15/hr.

At the end of the day my son is going to be fine, he realizes this is a game at this point.
The people who are not going to be fine are the "adults" whose brains have broken to the point where they're making whatever policy led to this.

As it stands currently, I'm competing with the government as an employer. And the government is willing to pay more money to do nothing.
Had the country instead given out cash - a temporary UBI - my offer of employment would be additive, not competitive.

If the administrator to teacher ratio were the same today as it was 40 years ago, and school budgets were the same, the average teacher salary would be $130,000.
Gov Out Of Control...
The explosion of administrative staff over students is insane, especially when schools barely produce kids who can even read and do math.
Kids can't read or do math:

Someone once told me that when you have kids you join a club and the world starts to make more sense. Like you understand why there's a front page article about some teacher taking advantage of a student.
Beforehand you thought, it didn't affect you why does everyone care so much it was in some faraway town. But after, you realize that it affects everyone in the "parents club" because if it can happen to any kid it can happen to yours.
I see my children in this face, and I feel the pain of those parents. Unimaginable. Loss combined with rage.

A reminder that while Ayn Rand's heros were fictitious, her villains were real:
"Directive 10-892, Point Two. All industrial, commercial, manufacturing and business establishments of any nature
whatsoever shall henceforth remain in operation, and the owners of such establishments shall not quit nor
leave nor retire, nor close, sell or transfer their business, under penalty of the nationalization of their
establishment and of any and all of their property."

The author of "When Money Dies" struggles over how to explain the scale of the inflation, because the numbers are so beyond human comprehension.
The most stark example: The German Marks needed to buy one egg in 1923 could have bought 500 BILLION eggs in 1918
