I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

That he is.  I just wish he wasn't exposing it by hiring the people doing it.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

Err, Trump is the guy who had to shut down his own crooked foundation and send his kids off to school to learn how not to be grifters like dad is, right?  Is he claiming now that his plea bargaining is 'draining the swamp?"

Technically, it was the Liberal-Democrat party in Japan for most of post-wwii though.  :P
Of course, it's a conservative party, from an extremely homogeneous country almost no immigration so I could see why it could appeal in theory to some.  :D
The Japanese « model » is not easily exportable though.

It is heartwarming to see that these savings offset all the new deficit overruns from the latest tax breaks.
I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.

I do have to say that Trumps over the top and completely superficial genuflecting at the shrine of the military is just fucking repulsive. And I am completely pro-military.

I think it's horribly bad of a POTUS not to keep his salary (even if I have to assume that Trump does keep it, since they say he doesn't). It sends the signal that if you're not wealthy you shouldn't be in office.

The Minsky Moment

If you spend most of your time golfing and tweeting, don't review papers, and never hold a press conference, why do you need any White House staff at all?
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Fixed that for you.
