Well, $50,000 is just not that much money. Sarah Wynn-Williams could open a Patreon account; scrape together $50,000; do an interview and cut Zuck a check.

It's $50,000 per statement

Article I, Section 10: “No State shall … pass any … Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts.

This doesn’t limit the Feds. Also, a state can prohibit non-compete. Etc. Basically, the freedom to enter into a contract is not one of the four corndogs of freedom.


Andreesen donated $5M to the Trump campaigns. So attaching Trump's name to Andreesen seems fair.

Poker players with a blog. No one ever has a difficult problem and thinks, damn, maybe I should ask a VC.

This is structured so that Musk becomes the first trillionaire.

Yeah, that's probably the only reason for SpaceX going public.

It’s a problem of motivation. Now, if I work my ass off and Initech ships a few extra units, I don't see another dime. So where's the motivation? And here's another thing, Bob. I have eight different bosses right now!

It really is like our body politic is still mentally stuck in 1980. It's crazy. Republicans still campaign on "balancing the budget" while demonstrably being responsible for all the major explosions of debt we have experienced in our lifetime.

The whole thing is absurd.


And then blew up the deficit and started our massive accumulation of debt. A pattern gleefully followed by every single Republican administration since. Every single Democratic administration since has reduced the deficit the "spend and give tax breaks" Republicans have run up. But it's a losing battle clearly.


Carter reduced the deficit as well until the recession hit in 1979 and tax revenues decreased.


And then proceeded to blow up the deficit even more himself. What they campaign on and what they actually do are different things.
