The Right of politics has a vested electoral interest in helping more Australians, esp younger Australians, to own their own home. The clownish lost years of Abbott/Turnbull/Morrison when literally nothing was done by any of them on home ownership was simply shameful #Auspol

One area of the global economy that would not be affected by the Trump election is dry bulk: Most of the trade involves imports into China from non-US destinations for domestic use. Although one can argue for specific areas of the market (grains, minerals, steel exports, etc.)…

I did commend @MarkHalperin 's @2waytvapp a while ago - and scary thus far today how much better & more informative live streams (eg @Peoples_Pundit etal) have been than cable news coverage ... mainstream media just hurts itself

This is, in a way, a practical book about the Kelly criterion. I bought two copies by mistake. If we’re having lunch and you are interested, remind me to bring you the spare copy. Haghani btw is “the” Haghani. With Larry Hilibrand, the real on-the-ground PM at LTCM.

The collapsing birth rate is actually way worse than you think. One of the biggest things I've realized since becoming a father 3 months ago is that I spend an obscene amount of time thinking about the future. This is because I want my child to have the best possible place to…

In 1962, C.S. Lewis was asked what books most influenced him, both as a writer and in his philosophy of life. He responded with a list of 10 books. They're Great Books. I recommend you read them. Or, at least, read this thread about them:
