They’re self-convinced, against nearly all studies and evidence and expert consensus, that capital punishment is an effective deterrent.

It’s getting really late to move toward egalitarian de-growth

But you have to be a trash human in order to become a billionaire.

It’s as if you were channeling William Burroughs

Amazing how “increase shareholder value” is in direct opposition to keeping the shareholders, their descendants, and modern civilization itself viable.

Thanks for posting. But I read the full article just now and saw zero reporting or analysis on the subject of why he’s leaving the position. Not even speculation! Did I miss something?

There was a short time around 1977, during which my wildest fantasy of the best and happiest thing that could possibly happen to me (short of truly fantastical and nigh-impossible things like going to Disneyland, which I wasn’t yet sure really existed) would have been to receive multiple packs of Fruit Stripe gum.

I’m only guessing, but school these days is where you learn that your economic dreams are dead on arrival and that your generation won’t be able to stop any of the currently unfolding disasters for the human race.
