    That's honestly one of the best pieces of writing I've read in my life. Can't recommend it enough. Send it to all your friends. Everyone should read it.

    30 year fixed mortgages are actually not as good of an idea as you'd think. I actually spent a significant part of my early career working with real estate economists. A bunch of e…

    Maybe for context, the fact that high-ranking public servants in the West are known as "Mandarins" should indicate the reputation of Chinese government officials for political intr…
