Idk man, $45b to defeat Russia seems like it has a much better ROI than $44b for Twitter.

Does everyone know you can built 100% affordable housing projects (incl 20% moderate) with unlimited density and 3 extra stories of height in most parts of Californian cities in January?

The only thing more popular than the military are the Warehouse & Delivery Troops who make modern life so convenient.

Is he just mad because he staked his reputation to Web3 while the AI people hit it out of the park?

It's time for my annual unironic recommendation of the 1974 Kmart in-store music compilation. It's pure instrumental schmaltz, but in the best possible way. Seriously. Give it a try.

One thing a lot of people don't realize is that Russia was about twice as rich as Ukraine *even before* it started blowing up Ukraine's infrastructure and factories.
That's in addition to a 4x population advantage.

The question of whether China can grow at 5% or whether it falls to the rich-country rate of 2.5% is incredibly important for the balance of world power in the 21st century.

Apart from securing his own power base, can XJP plausibly claim any real achievement over the past 10 years? I honestly can’t think of anything that holds up right now.

Is this a sweet finding about the benefits of volunteering or a grim finding about marriage?

I do like the alternate ending where YIMBYs win and DC gets skyscrapers and a playground on the National Mall.
