a lot of the fucky periods of capitalism and feudalism were in part caused by large classes of ostensibly rich peeps who were super fuckin illiquid because their holdings were in land only and land was super illiquid at the time or the only way they could get a cash flow out of the land was by mortgage or by selling, both of which they wouldn't do in california, this was one of those times. another time was 1776 and whereabouts. george washington was the richest man in america on paper but really illiquid lots of times may have nothing to do with your situations but i know lots of olds who are paper millionaires and seriously are thinkin about ridiculous bullshit like reverse mortgages because they are so fuckin illiquid

peter turchin has a weirdo but pretty interesting scholarly career out of basically arguing that large fuckwad periods of history (revolutionary period, civil war period, gilded age period, civil rights period, right now) were caused in large part by titanic struggles between peeps trying to be elites in society. large classes of peeps who are paper rich but illiquid is often a symptom, too. (in the 1850s-60's, they were paper rich in slaves! isnt that fun actually it isnt) not that you're anywhere close to an elite

Pham Nuwen posted:i found cigarettes pretty easy to quit so i may be a poor sample but i've also tried cigars, cigarillos, and pipes and none of them felt as habitual as cigarettes became for me. maybe because you're not supposed to inhale them. so if you want to gently caress with nicotine maybe try that? an added bonus is that if you try to smoke a pipe you'll presumably have the good sense never to be seen in public smoking it, so that should cut down on your opportunities for addiction somewhat. nicotine is more dangerous than the research chemicals, unless you get carfentanyl or fentanyl and gently caress up dosing

Or is it really lovely, but since they have more budget then NASA and very little oversight, they are just able to do cool stuff? shotwell and t. mueller successfully got musk to gently caress off and do tesla things so it is good as hell, and was good as hell by fuckin tesla over spacex has budget of 1 billion/yr about, nasa has 18 billion. but nasa has all sorts of insane congressional meddling like "make stuff in as many states as possible for pork" and "give nontechnical congresspeeps decision making over anything at all"

the important thing about spacex that nasa didn't have was that they could avoid being accountable to the dipshits in congress and the ol' 50-state-supply-chain. vc's for companies founded by founders who have had an exit before are like, "ok, here's the wired money, i'ma gently caress off and wear the gently caress out of this vest in soma now"

FMguru posted:my sense of spacex is that theyre "disrupting" the current spaceflight market in a good way - most launches are handled by a boeing/lockheed-martin consortium (the united launch alliance) which had a nice cozy near-monopoly on all things rocket related in the us and no real reason to innovate or develop new technology or find cheaper ways to do things (cost-plus government contracts, hooray). the stuff spacex is doing isnt particularly innovative or amazing but it is keeping the ula honest and driving down costs and so it is a net good thing the landing first stage dealio saves about 40% of the cost of a flight they fully plan to save like 98% of the cost
