Epic diatribe, and epic Farnsworth quote!

2025-04-28 16:46:03 +0000 UTCGreat diatribe! The point about RFKs main points being about utility to the state economic engine was so spot on. It made me think about his dad's GNP speech in Kansas in 1968 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_F._Kennedy%27s_remarks_at_the_University_of_Kansas Say what you will about the man, but this 1968 speech has parts that are even more resonant today. Over a half century later and we might be worse off in terms of how we deal with poverty and hell, all social ills because we focus on economic success, not societal success. And we do it on the quarterly, so we don't do any long term thinking.
