One thing I found interesting when I read Herodotus for the first time a few years ago was how much time he spends talking about Egypt, and how insistent he is that the Greeks clearly got all their ideas about the gods from the Egyptians.

My favorite way to put this, as someone who studied Classical History in actual college (not just on Twitter): If you told an ancient Roman or Athenian that his culture had "more in common" with a German or Briton than with an Egyptian or Ethiopian, he'd punch you in the throat.

āIf these supply-side shocks are impacting inflation, then thereās very little the Fed can actually do about thatā Agree, which makes the Fedās message to Trump: āFix your shit or we will punch the economy in the face.ā Which (ironically?) might be a good contemporary argument for rate targeting

Of course it's not just an accidental confusion. The idea that the authority of the boss comes from the fact that he represents the business's "owners" or "capital providers" plays a fundamental role in legitimating the hierarchical, top-down structure of authority within the enterprise.

The linked FT piece is not about this, of course. Instead, it's a super helpful walkthrough of what the bond issuing process looks like in practice.

In case you need another reason to believe that public transit is superior to private cars:
Not only are private cars more expensive, more resource-intensive, and more climate-damaging, they are also causing us to have dementia.

For all the replies saying "but public transit is terrible, I have to wait an hour for the bus"... comrade, what you are suffering from is the *absence* of public transit.

Direct public investment in public transit can deliver incredible results: high-quality, high-speed, high-frequency service that integrates metros, trams, buses, inter-city rail, bikes and pedestrianised routes.

To take one non-random example: There are few more profoundly anti-liberal regimes in the world than Israel. The contradiction between Zionism and liberalism is manageable when you're just accepting the status quo, but not so much when liberal values are something you're actively fighting for.

I had beers with him a couple of times, back in the day. I have to say, wherever he gets his power to shape the discourse from, it is not personal charisma.
