The Latest Misanthropy
I posted this on Twitter, but not here. But Glenn picked it up.

Bob Zubrin has read the book, so we didn’t have to. His review is sort of…excoriating.

Leaving The Cities
Thoughts on the triumph of the country mouse.
AB5
California doubles down in its war on employment.
Drone Hitchhikers
This is an interesting idea. Having the ability to charge while on the buses would enhance the idea.
It reminds me of some of the concepts for planetary exploration with a “mothership” and flocks of cubesat “birds” (e.g., to send a bunch, or consecutive waves, through the plumes of Enceladus to capture data in both time and position).
Get Woke
Go depopulated. Almost twenty percent of Minneapolis real estate has gone on the market in the last week. Though, to be fair, this could just be a combination of a summer uptick, and pent-up supply from months of shutdown in which it was hard to do a real-estate transaction.
But if it’s due to rioting, I suspect this will be the fate of a lot of cities in the coming months and years, including Seattle. I suspect our home value will hold up, though. Always going to be demand to live near the beach in LA County.
Spaceflight Regulation
No, it is not yet needed for space tourism to take off. I wonder if she’s read my book? It doesn’t seem like it.
Lunar Safety Zones
An interesting essay by Jessy Kate Schingler.
Community College
“I chose to go to one, and it was the best decision I ever made.”

Universities
Almost half of them may be gone within a decade.
Good riddance. This was a bubble waiting to be popped, and the pandemic was the pin.
