Pretty much, although massive currency issuance by govt central banks is making Bitcoin Internet 👻 money look solid by comparison

Capitalism already has many fetters in the form of a plethora of regulatory bodies! I’m definitely against any monopolies/oligopolies where there is a low forcing function for improving customer happiness or an unpriced externality that consumes a common good (eg emissions).

Germany has handled this the best of any western country. It really helped having a scientist for a chancellor. Angela Merkel has a PhD in Chemistry. She's a bad ass 👊
Real Time Economics@WSJecon· May 15, 2020Germany managed to keep most of its factories open during the lockdown, while the government has moved aggressively to provide support for businesses and workers. Southern Europe, meanwhile, depends more heavily on tourism, which has dried up.

Agreed, people have forgotten how much in-person events matter! Also, there’s a lot to see. It’s not just a presentation.

Also worth reading is Andrew Roberts’ Napoleon: A Life. Considered the best biography on Napoleon out there

Napoleon was incredible. “It is my wish that my ashes may repose on the banks of the Seine, in the midst of the French people, whom I have loved so well.”

True. I have been so distraught over the news that I actually Googled "good news stories" the other day. It's difficult when you want to stay informed but there's just nothing good and you don't know who to trust or who to believe.

@elonmusk · May 15, 2020
Yeah. Maybe following individual journalists & citizen journalists is better than publications. The Onion may be the best mainstream media source. Hard to figure out what’s actually going on in the world!
