Ukraine needs to rebuild its army too, and would benefit more relative to Russia from a ceasefire, even if Russia reinvaded. You people are so wildly irrational.

This place has become a real echo chamber lately. I'm seeing radically unexamined opinions stream past like a firehose and can't respond to all of them. But to the anti-peace "pro-Ukranian" people here: 1. Do you see a p

"John Bolton, former national security adviser" Are we so naive that we're listening to this guy now? The forever war guy that wants to bathe the world in blood?

People who oppose these moves like "I don't like when visible billionaires own our news services, I much prefer the invisible ones" bewilder me.

Wait- do you think the grants have gone away? Do you even know what overhead is?

As I’ve said in the Penn thread: this is likely a temporary move, intended to be used for rhetoric. Eventually the faculty will complain, because they rely on large pyramids of postdocs and grad students for almost all labor. There’s simply

how do archaeologists know they burned down their own cities? One would expect the more neutral statement 'Their cities were burned every 50-100 years".

You misunderstood the meaning of what I said. Private equity has existed for a long time, but as an asset class has it had a huge boom for the past 20 years, gaining market share that it never had. This trend has been recognized by several
