2024-09-14 19:17:37 +0000 UTCThe best place to start for understanding Matt's general policy approach is to just read the full PPP papers and some of his old blog posts. Once you've done that, you'll notice that most policy disagreements he has online with other policy people is just them not understanding the fundamental issues Matt's policy approach endeavors to address. This is why Matt gets so frustrated with them. Most of them (and I'd include Stoller among them) just aren't very smart and just take policy ques from institutional inertia and misleading, if superficially compelling, rhetoric.

2024-09-10 01:10:48 +0000 UTCIt is so frustrating for me to watch Matt interact with people on Twitter. The back and forth is so limited by that platform. I want to know so much more detail. For example, the other day Matt is fighting with Matt Stoller (ok, too many Matt's). Um...Bruenig is fighting with Stoller (better?) on Twitter over Sovereign Wealth Funds versus breaking up monopoly. I know Stoller's entire worldview has been consumed by antitrust work as almost the only thing worth doing, but I don't understand what he has against Sovereign Wealth Funds. Matt seems to understand what his problem is, but in the interest of doing his Twitter thing, and the limits of the platform, he doesn't fully elaborate. I want all of the details on this and many other things that Bruenig. I need one of those "masterclass" things, but for Matt, or I guess at least an episode on it. And still waiting for the podcast series on the day to day functioning of the sovient union.

2024-09-06 06:05:17 +0000 UTCI like to treat it like an RPO in football. There's a meticulously designed play, but if delays, adverse events, or unforseen opportunities arise, there's no reason not to scramble.

2024-09-06 06:03:04 +0000 UTCas someone who travels quite a bit, there’s a happy medium between planning meticulously and being a bit open ended. I like to plan a few activities ahead of time and get a lot of enjoyment from researching options, but going with the flow is such a skill because travel is definitionally not something that happens as you expect it to

2024-09-06 00:34:29 +0000 UTCLove our CEP school in bmore. Keep an eye out for public summer camps. This summer our 11yo had a sleepaway camp with the national aquarium and an acting camp, our 5yo a Spanish immersion music camp, and our 9yo a robotics camp all free and including transportation.

2024-09-05 08:46:10 +0000 UTCV jealous of your two kids on the dole with that free school. Got one in daycare and one on the way. It's going to be 5 years until we're cashing in for both.

2024-09-04 22:00:05 +0000 UTCJane sounds like our younger son. In grade 2 they were expected to write a book report on the weekly books thy read. Graham was incensed, insisting that everyone else in the class, including the teacher, had also read it so what was the point😂

2024-09-04 21:33:31 +0000 UTCThe post-travel radicalization of how much the US sucks is real. That was me after spending a week in a mid-sized Dutch city. Seeing a horde of unaccompanied 10 year olds ride their bikes to school down a central road really made me think “damn, the US is a dog shit place to be — and raise — a child.”

2024-09-03 06:21:21 +0000 UTC1) I have met Japanese hippies/backpackers in Latin America and they are just as grubby as anyone else with an outdoor lifestyle. 2) A friend who worked at a zoo had to wear a hazmat suit anytime they worked on the Japanese Macaque exhibit because they carry a strain of herpesvirus that is chill for them but almost invariably deadly to humans 3) The first time I was living in Mexico, I saw a German guy wearing a tshirt with the twin towers in the center and two planes and their contrails arcing into them in such a way as to form the Mcdonalds logo, and I had to admit he kinda got us
