Rudy you should have your own site -- hope it’s on the roadmap. Substack is good for now, but for how long until its policies change either through change of ownership or change of mind? A year, five years, ten years? Who knows...but I’d say it’s just a matter of time. The only way to do it is having your own site.
Did summers really say that to Yanis about insiders/outsiders? Might spill the beans on Epstein if that’s the case “if you’re an insider you get access to Epstein with the caveat that you have to throw him some blows when he’s in the mood if you want girls”
This piece reminds me of the GK Chesterton line: The evil of aristocracy is not that it leads to the infliction of bad things or the suffering of sad ones; the evil of aristocracy is that it places everything in the hands of a class of people who can always inflict what they can never suffer. The case against them simply is that when they legislate for all men, they always omit themselves."
Rudy you are doing a service inadvertantly by posting here. People were afraid of Substack for some reason and the more people that come over here to read you (and there are a lot) they will find that the rest of Substack is amazing content, (mostly free if you want) and will eliminate their need to get their fix on Twitter or MSM or wherever else they get news and info. Keep writing. I know you were good at Twitter but you can be just as good here.
Thanks Chico. It took me a while to figure Twitter out, and I am still learning this site. I have received a number of comments saying people prefer this format. Do you work for Substack?
No, I discovered it same as many people when someone I respected got kicked off Twitter and found a collection of writers, reporters and thinkers here better than I could've hoped for. I did see in an old comment that there was someone who worked for Substack that did reply directly to you and give you access to a beta test for videos so be sure and use it.
Fucking legend

In what way do you differentiate price stability with stable prices? They’re the same to me
My point is that 2% is neither.

Summers also said the same thing to Elizabeth Warren (and I'm sure Sheryl Sandberg). He's a creep.

Yes, i did. Reminds me to look that person up again for future reference.
Catching up again via Substack. Missed seeing your work on TW. Getting used to this venue.
I recently read The Mandibles. Felt more like a documentary than fiction.
Yes!

Apologies! Briefly (?) radicalised by reading The Creature from Jekyll Island and then The Fiat Standard back-to-back!
