@thesamparr The Power Broker is an easy read. The pages fly by because it is so well written. Caro's books and the Hamilton musical are the great works of our time, imo. Deserve to be studied by future civilizations long after the American empire has fallen (hopefully not soon).

@JohnHuber72 The U.S. Government already owns whatever share it likes in the profit stream of every company, as Buffett and Malone have noted. The only reason for a Government to purchase shares directly is if it wants to vote them as an activist.

@Bkclaims Similar incident in Camden, Maine involving an oak tree and ocean views. The victims had the tree or soil tested, found the poison and sued. The perpetrating neighbor had to pay $1.7M in fines and damages. npr.org/2024/06/19/nx-…

@Bkclaims Allen's approach sounds similar to John Boyd's OODA loop, Singleton's steering the ship each day, and startup pivots.

@Bkclaims Fun video. Good reminder of how far we have come. My step-father programmed mainframes for Control Data. At home sometimes he would put the telephone handset onto the modem, beep incessantly, tie up the line, and 5 minutes later we could look at a janky text website.

@Bkclaims I'm sorry for your loss. 2004 sometimes feels like yesterday and sometimes feels like a long time ago.

@paulg Great essay, as usual. Related quotes by Buffett: (paraphrased) "A brand is a promise." "Buy commodities, sell brands." I don't find brands as dark as you in all cases. Even in the watch golden age, brands likely provided valuable, practical signaling about reliability.

@bkclaims The Dollar had already gone on and off the gold standard prior to 1972, during WWII for instance. Yeah? Didn't the British Pound go on and off the gold standard a few times too while it was the reserve currency? I don't think this is a new experiment.
