Thinking about what makes me a good fit as an investor or advisor to companies and it boils down to being weird
Day 1665 and the importance of getting outside of the American media production timezones for a little silence to hear the signal again jfredrickson.com/day-1665-and-g…
“I’ve seen fee layers you people wouldn’t believe. Four SPVs deep for a taste of Anduril. I watched GPs glitter under ring lights pitching access to xAi. All those LPs will call themselves venture investors. Time to wire.”
I’d love to see healthcare’s entire corrupt system crumble. Anything would we be better than what we have now
looks like they are going to try cramming down legacy healthcare. Eric Pachman on Monetary Matters was intriguing x.com/jnconkle/statu…
Day 1664 is the final reveal of the pathology report in which I had a tetracycline resistant MSSA infection so yay wrong antibiotics jfredrickson.com/day-1664-and-p…
Kyle and Brandon understand TACO
Howard Lutnick's investment bank Cantor Fitzgerald is offering to buy the right to businesses tariff refunds, basically betting that the courts will overturn the tariffs.
Day 1663 and wishing I had better insight than Rome’s Juvenal. I don’t. But I do have ideas about what deserves your attention more than the circus jfredrickson.com/day-1663-and-p…
i believe reindustrialization is a duty to pursue the spirit of doing hard things that made us great, build a real economy, and reject a 50 year orthodoxy that rationalized post-industrial society as a real solution. we're just getting started.
My latest piece about the movement to Reindustrialize America: “You can’t really offer your citizens much,” he said, “if all you’re asking them to do is sit around, trade crypto, watch Netflix and order Uber Eats.” @reindsummit nytimes.com/2025/07/20/us/…
Tax code does penalize the lower earner & it hits in odd ways even for girlbosses. As a founder I mostly had the lower W2. Now as an investor I have every incentive to optimize for longer term returns & to take no salary. The wife looks to the future of the family
And I think that explains this graph: rich men have a massively disproportionate rate of having highly-educated nonworking wives. On its face this is strange-- these women have high earning potential (even though income tax structure penalizes work by the lower earner)!
Why do people like Mediterranean vacations in the summer? Can someone remind me?
Writing about AI psychosis is a “Julie Jargon” This is either a joke or the worst case of nominative determinism I’ve ever seen
Day 1662 is a long ramble about class consciousness in capitalist America versus socialist slowing the social compact of Europe jfredrickson.com/day-1662-and-c…
I can never tell when a niche publication has changed its pricing tiering or if @alexlmiller has one of his scheduled “negotiate them down on schedule to maintain sign up pricing” It’s probably bad I can’t tell right? Or does everyone have this issue with @PuckNews
