it's really important to acknowledge when seemingly intractable problems start changing.

There's a lot of fatalism today, and a lot of people who build reputations and careers peddling the idea that reform is a fool's errand

We are charging a tailgate site fee to each tent in the protester encampment. It’ll automatically appear on bursar accounts. We know who you are—thank you for putting your SIDs on your phones!

I’m all for new tent encampments, but before you build them you should need to engage with the stakeholders in a series of community meetings, have some design review, and ensure that the tents align with the existing character of the community.

There is a lot of elite interest in climate which is fine/good but climate-focused elites have created a bubble where they confuse themselves into thinking it's a subject of intense mass concern which generates strategic and tactical errors.

The WSJ reports on China's auto overcapacity (plants to make 40m cars a year, internal demand just over 20m).
