President of Tanzania calls COVID a satanic myth, rejects vaccines and foreign aid, dies of COVID, along with six other senior politicians and several generals. wsj.com/amp/articles/c…
He had declared the country COVID free in spring 2020, dissolved his Covid response team, and invited citizens to a “corona festival” with dancing and cocktails.
Having rejected vaccines, the government started pushing steam rooms and quack cures. Disturbingly familiar…
“Vaccinations are dangerous. If the white man was able to come up with vaccinations, he should have found a vaccination for AIDS by now.”
This is incredible. Like if Diamond and Silk and MyPillow actually took over the government.

Why is the US so much wealthier than Europe?

If there's one statistic that explains it, it's this: Americans are ten times more likely than Germans to be fired in any given year.

I argue that America is wealthier because it has weaker labor protections. richardhanania.com/p/labor-freedo…
US isn't a free market paradise compared to Europe. But labor law stands out. California has high taxes and other left-wing policies. But Silicon Valley would be impossible in Europe. You can trace the exact ways in which its business model based on innovation is illegal. Image
American companies often have to make large severance payments to fired workers. In much of Europe, these are mandated by law and much larger. And large German companies can't even choose who to lay off. They must factor in tenure and things like family obligations. Image

“The elites never told us being fat was bad for you” is one of the stranger right wing beliefs.
Fascinating insight into how the minds of rightists work.

"I saw one fat positivity magazine cover" becomes "Everyone was lying to us about being fat."

There is no ability to separate things that make you mad on the internet from what's significant in real life. Image
Hey guys remember when THE MACHINE told you to be fat?

This guy was sued by his own firm for falsely inflating his role as “Head of Macro,” misusing confidential information to promote his own fund, breaching debt obligations, and defaming the firm to investors.

Yes, it's unsurprising that Trump brought him into the party.
He eventually admitted sharing confidential information and paid the costs of the lawsuit. Image
He called himself "Head of Macro," a position that didn't exist. The company says he was hired as a Research Analyst and then fired for poor performance. Fishback has now reinvented himself as a MAGA influencer. Image

How to explain Indian hate?

The truth is simpler than you think.

Many Americans dislike dark skin. But they make an exception if you're good at football, and Indians are bad at sports.

They'll make us a poorer country for that.

Yes, it's that stupid. richardhanania.com/p/indians-are-…
There's a human preference for light skin. It shows up almost everywhere and predates colonialism. Indians and blacks are the darkest groups Americans are exposed to or interact with in any significant degree. Image
But blacks, in addition to the historical guilt, have traits many Americans like. They're good at sports, good with women, and charming enough to be actors and entertainers. Image

US-India relationship is being harmed because Pakistan is more willing to kiss up to Trump, and Modi has too much pride to nominate him for the Nobel Peace Prize when he didn’t do anything.

Modi is now going to meet Putin and Xi in China.

I can’t believe it’s this stupid. Image

Mr. Trump contends that he used trade as leverage to get the two sides to stop fighting. After these enticements and warnings, he said, “all of a sudden they said, ‘I think we will stop’” the fighting.

India denies that.Image
