Man running a website that's probably worth $1M/year in ad revenue but decided not to monetize it in any way.
Respect.

I will believe that supply and demand are overemphasized when there is one American city whose policymakers say βbecause we want housing to be affordable, we are eliminating all restrictions on supply that donβt have a bona fide safety rationale.β

Our violent crime isn't actual abnormal compared to peer countries. but the proliferation of guns in the US makes violence more deadly which popularizes support for militarized police and public safety gets deadlocked as these two elements perpetuate each other.

The Russian deficit, primarily thanks to increased military spending and sanctions, is reaching one of the biggest heights since the collapse of the Soviet Union.
Russia is copying all the mistakes from the past.

About 18 months ago versions of this chart (here are two I dug out) went viral a couple of dozen times. Compare with the actual data.

Do *I* want to own a fish tank? No.
Do I want *you* to own a fish tank? Not really.
Do I think people *should* own pet fishes? I canβt see why they would.
And yet, itβs good that if people want to own fish tanks they are allowed to do this.

I wish I had the stat at the tip of my tongue but itβs probably something like βthe most recent 10% of homeowners pay 80% of the property taxβ which is just insane. Can lower income tax if we fix property taxes in California.
