Dream on.

They Have Money. (Shhh.)

An essay about the discomfort some people feel about their wealth provoked strong reactions.

A just system does not attempt to limit access to wealth generation beyond environmental maintenance.

Systems that "level up" have yet to be invented.
The effort should continue.
Charity is not the way.
Exploitation is destructive.

I want to build.

Ellen Pao: Has Anything Really Changed for Women in Tech?

Let’s not be blinded by optimism or biased by what we want to see. We could be stuck in an unfair loop indefinitely.

The war of the sexes will continue as long as people feel that gender should confer privilege.

Technology has no sex.
Positions of power go to those who want them.

How to End the Immigration Wars

Congress should use this crisis to improve DACA, but it shouldn’t stop there.

Congress can and will do nothing.
American political structure requires the immigration wars.

Our Constitution Wasn’t Built for This

It’s lasted 230 years, but the founders didn’t plan for this economy.

Ganesh Sitaraman has reached the wrong conclusion.
People remain human.
The constitution was built to deal with humans living in a nation composed of sovereign states.
It is intended to evolve to deal with changed circumstances.
It has been prevented from evolving for a century.
The necessary changes must be debated and allowed.

The constitution was built for exactly this.

. . . "government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

Twice Saved From Houston Floods but Still, Mysteriously, a Victim

A Houston great-grandmother was put on a rescue boat. That much is known. But how she got off, was rescued a second time and then ended up in the morgue is one of Hurricane Harvey’s mysteries.

Texas is not good at organization

What Trump Needs to Learn From Vietnam

The stalemate strategy didn’t work there. It won’t in Afghanistan either.

Donald Trump has not learned.

He will be impeached or term limited.
The commanders may tell him his alternatives are withdrawal,
military revolt or assassination. 

The Korean armistice will not work in Afghanistan.
