Oh, shit, it's May. You guys ready for that fucking 25% tariff on $200B of Chinese goods starting Friday? All because orange ding dong doesn't understand what a trade deficit is? For some reason in March (?) when they pushed it back, I was optimistic they'd come to an agreement. That was dumb of me.

In other news, the stable genius claims he lost $1.2b in a decade- to prevent paying taxes. And it's also fake news.
At a time he was so broke his yacht got repossessed.
So it turns out he is exactly the con man we always knew he was.

ngl i figured that site would be long dead but not only is it still up, but they just released a totally original and informative book:

Quote

Academics extol high-minded ideals, such as serving the common good and promoting social justice. Universities aim to be centers of learning that find the best and brightest students, treat them fairly, and equip them with the knowledge they need to lead better lives.

But as Jason Brennan and Phillip Magness show in Cracks in the Ivory Tower, American universities fall far short of this ideal. At almost every level, they find that students, professors, and administrators are guided by self-interest rather than ethical concerns. College bureaucratic structures also often incentivize and reward bad behavior, while disincentivizing and even punishing good behavior. Most students, faculty, and administrators are out to serve themselves and pass their costs onto others.

The problems are deep and pervasive: most academic marketing and advertising is semi-fraudulent. To justify their own pay raises and higher budgets, administrators hire expensive and unnecessary staff. Faculty exploit students for tuition dollars through gen-ed requirements. Students hardly learn anything and cheating is pervasive. At every level, academics disguise their pursuit of self-interest with high-faluting moral language.

Marshaling an array of data, Brennan and Magness expose many of the ethical failings of academia and in turn reshape our understanding of how such high power institutions run their business. Everyone knows academia is dysfunctional. Brennan and Magness show the problems are worse than anyone realized. Academics have only themselves to blame.

Joe Biden predicted Wednesday that the field of Democratic presidential candidates would be “winnowed out pretty quickly” next year, dismissing concerns that a lengthy and contentious primary could weaken the party’s nominee.

wow you think?

Why would Trump want to be contacted by his creditors that often?
Maybe he really enjoys talking to Deutsche Bank.

I imagine Hillary opening her phone, discreetly accessing her email and scrolling through all the price drop alerts for flights to Des Moines and Laconia. Her eyes widen as she sees one that would be perfect. Then she catches herself, shakes her head no, and closes out the app.

Quote

Carry Guard’s liability insurance component only kicks in for criminal cases after an acquittal. Individual Carry Guard customers would have to cover the hefty costs of criminal defense out of pocket until they were acquitted, leading to accusations within the firearms community that the NRA was luring people into paying for a service unlikely to help them during the most expensive and consequential phase of liability.
