Everyone talking about how RBJ should have known to retire in 2014 is taking an extremely a-historic view of the situation.

Nah plenty of people were aware of the risk at the time and begged her to retire, it's not ahistorical to notice things like "one political party isn't guaranteed to conveniently win every election for as long as you want" which is why people in fact did notice that not retiring when the senate was on the line was stupid without needing to time travel from 2022 with ironclad proof. She just told them to gently caress off.

And yea she probably didn't want to end up like her good friend Sandra "put the gays in prison" O'Connor, some nobody that everyone ignores now that she isn't one of the 9 all-powerful lawmakers in the land, so Ginsburg made a choice to cling to power and roll the dice with everyone else's livelihoods and welp turns out "maybe elections will go how I want as long as I want" was a bad bet and here we are.

Is this just all the bad things they could think of? Is it supposed to be a top 16? How is the existence of the child tax credit on there and how is it like 9 times worse than airport security being terrible?

I really wanna know the difference between the two. Who is suffering from the child tax credit? Is it like some very small number of very mad political types that are just so mad about it that it's worse than all the suffering of every person that has to fly in the US even once a year?

SBFs valuations of stuff are entirely fantasy and it's awesome that he's still posting them.

He considers $600m in a coin with 100k daily volume to be "semi-liquid"

A bankruptcy trustee trying to convert most of these things to cash is going to crash them to zero by the time 5% is liquidated.

Not only that, but he's also basically confirming he's lost $18b recently and is now negative. As that other article pointed out, imagine how much he made *before* he had these new losses, and therefore total loss is insane. We're talking probably $1t in gain turned into total loss would be an estimate when you include Luna.

The idea is that if you don't have kids, you're effectively paying extra tax, and people who have #childfree identities tend to be very upset about a lot of things.

I guess the fiat@ might fall under the -8 billion liquid assets? But I wouldn't try to put too much value in that horror spreadsheet, except for the conclusion that all the money is gone and not a single accountant ever set foot in their Bahamas sex cult.

His accounting of the assets are "accurate" when you consider stuff like FTX's own tokens to have any value. FTX's assets on their spreadsheet are basically just an assortment of crap:



There's not a penny of actual money on this.

I've taught my pet fish to play fetch. There is also experimental data from monitoring brain activity during sleep that suggests fish dream. Also the Sydney aquarium has a successful program teaching learned behaviours to eagle rays. Fish are way more intelligent than people think.

The thing on the left are supposedly bad things they say are causing a loss of "QALYs," which is some stupid loving metric they've latched onto to quantify suffering. It rolls standard of living together with public health and losses of life into a single quantifiable metric that they can use to say that the existence of the child tax credit is almost as detrimental to society as the US prison system.
