I do mostly agree with Ben. That said, the market, at least right now, is not rewarding knowledge or care. I know this first hand. The slop runs deep, and management is actively rewarding it.

Trump: I have to say this about Ken Paxton. It's so insulting, they say, 'Sir, you can't say that.' I said, 'I have to.' But you may not like the way he dresses. I don't. You may not like the way he talks, and I can see that. You may not like the way he looks, and he may not be the best lookin' guy

Someone in the White House spent time today preparing an eo to rename Lake Ontario. The president spent time signing it. In economic terms, was the opportunity cost negative because they could have been doing something more important? Or positive, because they didn’t do something even dumber?

In case you don't follow basketball, Royce White was only rostered on an NBA team for a single season. He was used as a substitute in just three games, scoring a total of zero points. He made the stat lines by fouling twice. This is an NBA washout trying desperately to cash in and find some fame.

He "spent years quietly acquiring his arsenal," @bloomberg.com says about buying a pistol and a shotgun. If the media wants to say people with more than one gun (≈20% of US) have an "arsenal" and are inherently suspicious, fine, but they never talk about Republican gun policies that way.
