@zachweinberg much worse than putting caps on rental housing prices - that inventory exists and has to go somewhere. If this passed, far less than half of Americans would qualify for a credit card.

@Softykjr Maybe Ohio State could hire John Donovan as their OC before they come play us in Seattle next Fall.

"Builders" and "building" are right-woke. 🙄 almost as bad as calling yourself a "thought leader"

Pretty much nobody wants the CFP Natty on a Monday night in late January - but do they listen?

My take on BigAI: * OpenAI - clear leader, unclear if it will last * Google - Sleeping giant has woken * Microsoft - sure wishes they owned the tech * Meta - cheapens the market but unclear value capture * Apple - they own the user so will thrive & commoditize * Amazon - will win no matter who wins via AWS * Grok - easier than landing rockets, will move fastest * Anthropic - there needs to be an Avis

@RossDellenger Strange they keep referring to it as "paying for NIL". Schools will simply be paying kids to play - just like the NFL.

California is gonna California. Every time they try to do something good (suspending permitting) they have to soil it with something stupid (price controls). 🤯

NEW: Just issued an Executive Order that will allow victims of the SoCal fires to not get caught up in bureaucratic red tape and quickly rebuild their homes. We are also extending key price gouging protections to help make rebuilding more affordable.
