- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 1 week ago:
If anything it seems more like crony capitalism, when the CPI is understated and all investments are excluded it drives down borrowing rates and bond yields, which raises stock values and provides a stream of revenue with those with the largest access to the most credit. People like Elon Musk who avoid paying taxes by borrowing cheap debt, which who would lend him when his collateral is Tesla stock, which is entirely built on speculation and pumps to new all time highs whenever QE is unloaded into the market.

- Comment on Is the Memory Shortage Intentional? 2 weeks ago:
It could just be irrational exuberance, and the perverse incentive to keep it going by the people running those companies.
In the dotcom bubble I’m sure there was shortages, same as the housing bubble which destroyed peoples ability to buy a home.
Its really the Fed whose at fault, with cheap debt and QE, they now exist to create as much misallocated capital as possible. The entire financial system is fraudulent, to quote burry in the big short.
