Wow 25%. That's much higher than San Francisco. Atherton must be a really equitable and progressive place.

Apparently Atherton is planning on a ~25% inclusionary zoning ordinance on the sites upzoned for multifamily. Wow, that's ridiculous.

It’s now “overblown groupthink” to believe the Chinese Communist Party shouldn’t control the most popular social media app among young Americans 🤔

Are there more persuasive #MintTheCoin advocates than these guys? Because these responses are not very reassuring (and that's putting it *very* politely) especially later in the thread where one of them says it would be good if we defaulted since it would force change to SCOTUS.

I asked @rohangrey & @NathanTankus — 2 of the leading theorists behind the “Mint the $1 Trillion Coin” idea — about some of the concerns I’d been hearing from those close to the White House about their plan Their responses, shared w/ permission, are worth reading https://t.co/7HijRiohXp

This coffee shop I'm at could probably make their coffee more compelling by sneaking cocaine into it, but I would not want them to do that — sane people don't want everything they use to be the maximally-compulsive version of itself.

IMO underrated that the IT revolution has certain anti-productivity properties — I’m tweeting now instead of finishing my column, you who are reading this tweet are probably supposed to be working too.

This story by @blipstress is just so goddamn good. One of the best sci-fi short stories I've read in years.
I want to be the character T.A.R.C.T.I.L.

Gotta keep talking about the platinum coin so that when the high-yield bonds get sold everyone is like “well that seems boring and normal.”

Going to the bank of "I print my own money" & asking if I can put down "the world's second largest nuclear arsenal" as collateral for a loan to myself, and if that fails suggest perhaps "the world economy bends to my currency" or "foremost conventional military power" as backups
