A Revolutionary New Concept

The Europeans are thinking about building a rocket that retrofires and lands vertically. Eric Berger brings the snark.

Bankruptcies

Bernie’s press secretary says that 500M American go bankrupt each year.

I think that’s the same number that Sleepy Joe says are killed by gunshot. Are they shooting themselves after going bankrupt, or what? And how can there even be that many when we were all killed by the end of Net Neutrality and the Trump tax cuts?

[Update mid-afternoon]

Why can’t “liberals” do arithmetic?

Partly, I think, because they are not in fact liberals.

Intelligent Voluntary Cooperation

More from Allison Duettmann, who is co-writing what looks to be an interesting new book with Mark Miller (who I haven’t seen in years).

If you have the time, the next in the playlist is a salon with her and Aubrey De Grey on the value of life extension, but it’s a little over an hour. Foresight has put a lot of videos on line recently from its Vision Weekend last year.

California

…is a cruel, medieval state.

As a resident, I can attest. Not sure how much longer we’ll stay here, though there are signs that perhaps the Democrats have overreached.

What they don’t tell you, of course, is that while the state is technically in surplus currently, it has unfunded liabilities of hundreds of billions in pensions. California is a poster child for what happens when you let uninformed innumerate idiots vote.
