10 weekend reads - the big picture. Our economy is run by people that dont participate in it and tech companies are directed by people who dont experience the problems they allege to solve for their customers. In an age of endless low-quality information, its time to fight our instinct. Official statistics suggest the country is below recent business cycle peak. Official Russian CPI seems to have been running cooler than a private sector series. The U.S.–Venezuela coup: The Quiet part out loud | naked capitalism. The U.S. used its military strength, in an operation that “no country on the planet” could have opposed, to remove the legitimate president of Venezuela. The reasons, according to this view, are resources and fear of the revolutionary socialist ethos the country represents. No one was held responsible and there was no division, no dissenting voice. Delcy Rodríguez published a statement inviting the U.S. to cooperate. Curro Jimenez: Delcy Rodríguezs background, 100 people killed, presence of Russian and Chinese delegations at her swearing-in ceremony dont fit the coup thesis. Maduros attitude while in custody seems oddly calm and friendly, he says. The assassination attempt against Putin was a last straw for Putin. All the talk of an attack on Iran next means Iran is ready to do a strike.

A lot of quote tweets and responses are basically saying its typical electronic jamming/warfare stuff. They need to make you hate some group - by Noah Smith. Wall Street Journal editorial urged us not to blame Afghan immigrants as a group for D.C. shooting. Stephen Miller, Trumps Homeland Security Advisor, responded with dismissal of individualism. John Sutter: Most of the MAGA movement was always the type of group that wants immigration restriction. He says a lot of Americans are in favor of individualism, not racial collectivism. Stephen Miller is just flat-out wrong. Immigrants do not recreate conditions of their homelands in America, writes Noah Smith. If Trump and MAGA succeed in getting a critical mass of Americans to reject Somalis categorically, then they win a crucial victory. Once MAGA can convince you that “Are the Somalis bad?” is a legitimate question to ask, they then get to ask the same question about every other group in America.
