Tech and growth at . All I want is for GDP per capita to be $200k by 2050. I believe in hard tech, megaprojects, fast planes, neomedievalism, and karma.

    There are some problems: 1. The national government owns mineral rights, so landowners hate drilling. 2. Not enough pipeline infrastructure. 3. Public opposition to fracking. But Operation Warp Speed for Polish shale gas could work if they were serious about it.

    Poland consumes about 720 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year. EIA estimated in 2013 Poland has 148 *trillion* cubic feet of technically recoverable shale gas. So 200 years worth of gas, if only they wanted to produce it themselves.

    Please be careful. 22 years ago, one of the Russians getting a Western visa was me, along with my family. This gave my dad a chance to start a great business and gave me a chance to grow up without the influence of zombie ideology. We should not throw such possibilities away.

    Bernie Sanders doesn’t want billionaires going to space. But he doesn’t want non-billionaires going to space either. No billionaires, non-billionaires, private companies, or governments in space. Got it.

    In short, we're overdue for a major econ policy shake-up if we're to keep up and if we're to project the econ power the way we used to. Who's up for it? /6

    Worse yet, policies on both sides of the Atlantic are increasingly parochial. EU's 'tech sovereignty', digital regulations, CBAM, Biden's aversion to trade agreements & WTO risk fragmenting markets in the West further. Very few signs of a domestic 'supply-side' agenda /4

    Lockheed: it’s a risk to our business that DOD is starting to care about fast delivery and value for money.

    Not quite shaking in their boots but it’s clear the bigs ( in this case) are paying attention to what’s happening in the non-traditional defense world. LFG

    Interesting since had a hand (as a report author) in getting all of NIA’s money wastefully earmarked for Alzheimer’s research. I agree it’d be better spent on understanding aging and it could have fiscal effects.
