A reminder, if you even need it, that the MSM exists to tell you what to think and what you are allowed to discuss. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/13/opinion/polls-harris-trump.html

Not just Americans. “When the American middle class complains about how hard we have it these days, it’s like a bunch of overfed people at a buffet wishing they could just have one more flavor of donuts stacked onto the table.” https://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2024/10/13/economics-vs-politics/

Been following him for years, starting with his time on the BBC More or Less program. Great writer, makes ideas very accessible. Funny how the MONIAC had been on my mind recently, and then Tim's article pops up!

"But we can’t even put elevators together in factories in America, because the elevator union’s contract forbids even basic forms of preassembly and prefabrication that have become standard in elevators in the rest of the world. The union and manufacturers bicker over which holes can be drilled in a factory and which must be drilled (or redrilled) on site. Manufacturers even let elevator and escalator mechanics take some components apart and put them back together on site to preserve work for union members, since it’s easier than making separate, less-assembled versions just for the United States." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/07/08/opinion/elevator-construction-regulation-labor-immigration.html

"Half a dozen or more Perspex tanks were linked together through a network of pipes, dams and sluice gates and filled with water stained a deep pink with cochineal dye. It looked like the sort of thing a mad genius might produce if asked to design a water clock." https://timharford.com/2024/10/how-a-mind-boggling-device-changed-economic-history/
