Baseball Between the Numbers was one of the books i read, but it's fairly old now.

Mr Hootington posted:It isn't just the opec+ messing with the oil market. Removing Russia and the usa constantly flooding the market have had roles. It effects local markets to some degree, but in aggregate OPEC+ can control prices as total supply shifts. Also, Russia is pour oil into Asian markets. ---------- The real test is going the next 1-2 Fed meetings because the banking sector is looking weak, and it looks like a recession is about to occur but inflation is far from tamed and energy prices may be actually rising again.

if only there was a way to communally get together to provide housing. maybe some sort of structure where people pay a small portion of their wages to a central fund that allocates spending, with leaders decided by the community. alas

Basically a group of people take out a loan to build an apartment complex instead of a house. Union pensions did build apartments for members in the past too. I've only heard of it done a handful of times in US and Canada, but it's still a lot more common in Germany. Nothing about American banking and lending is conducive to cooperative housing though. It's all aimed at single family homes or loans for big finance investors building luxury apartments.

so do they mention anywhere in this 7 minute video that california isn't about to manufacture its own insulin, its about to give $50 million to a non-profit startup that wants to be a generic drug contract manufacturer whose entire drug manufacturing experience appears to be making a single antibiotic?

Bill gates is one of the largest landowners in the country, he doesn't need an island. Also, his security detail is smart enough to get behind the camera for a photo op.
