Good 2-part post. I would just add the dimension that populism takes its authority to come from "the people" but when counted, populists typically amount to a minority of the whole population. They sometimes try to elide this by squinting at the whole population and defining the people down to "the ...

re: Tariffs are bad
Posted by TigerDoc on 4/17/24 at 1:27 pm
That's fair. I was responding more broadly to their overall tariff differences, but yeah, the world security situation seem to have changed his position on those particular tariffs. There's still a huge difference between them on tariffs. ...

[quote]Where is the double standard?[/quote]
Right. The debate in the current election is over whether or not expand tariffs and the two candidates are quite at odds on that question. I don't think OP is really much of a gotcha because the electoral politics and the macroeconomics of adding tarif...

Posted by TigerDoc on 4/16/24 at 10:52 pm
Pros would be diversification, serving as a hedge against inflation and economic uncertainty given that its purchasing power tends to hold up over time (e.g. high inflation or market downturns). Cons: lower returns and can lose value more frequently than stocks in ordinary economic conditions. It do...

But that's just not hypeable in law-enforcement and mass media terms - can you imagine a hype campaign on the dangers of step-dads? They're way more dangerous in real-world terms than ...

Moral panics are always characterized by the exaggeration and distortion of some social issue that is to some extent real, but for which media and state actors can capitalize. There's a symbiotic relationship where officials disseminate their narratives and the media secures a large audience and adv...
