The pressures of geopolitics are stronger than morality. We allied with a lot of people much worse than the Saudis in WW2, and it was the right decision.

Twenty years ago @paulkrugman introduced us to āDepression Economicsā a funky upside-down world where the normal gravitational pull of micro 101 doesnāt apply.
But now itās time for āregular economicsā when efficiency is king.

Today weāre announcing new legislation (Senate Bill 58) to decriminalize possession & use of plant-based psychedelics in California.
Psychedelics have huge promise for mental health & addiction treatment.
SB 58 is backed by a coalition of veterans & others committed to reform.

Some limitations of monarchy evident in the last two major Twitter policy changes being conceived around the monarch's personal desires rather than what users wanted, provoking immense backlash from users, leading to promise of voting rights & loss of plebiscites cc @DouthatNYT

It's kind of ludicrous that our main video entertainment platform is owned by China, and funnels our data to the CCP, and essentially the Biden administration and everyone else is just...š¤·āāļøš¤·āāļøš¤·āāļø
