      I think "could this even work, if you were to do it?" is sort of a question at the wrong level of abstraction though. Actually modeling how you would carry out a plan is imagining yourself being powerful.

      I can imagine being in a headspace of "well, look, CLEARLY nobody is going to put me in charge, or loan me enough money to start a business. The people who get those opportunities are just qualitatively a *different sort of people than me*." (e.g. for class/race/gender reasons).

      From that perspective, geeking out about how money works is a thing for the *kind of people who will ever be allowed access* to nontrivial amounts of money or credit or power. There's no point in my even touching those topics.

      So, of *course* I don't have accurate beliefs about how money or business works; that knowledge would be futile to acquire, because it's about a world I'm already locked out of. There's no "yum factor" to learning about it.

      The thing is I think truly poor people usually understand prices a lot better than politicians do. If people are starving bc they can’t afford food, rioting etc. is a decent plan. But why doesn’t Cuomo seem to understand prices?

      Yeah sorry, lots of interlinked threads. It’s possible he does understand prices and is communicating strategically. My prior is against.https://twitter.com/diviacaroline/status/1245074224315658240?s=21 …

      I’ve been trying to stop myself from tweeting this... It seems incredibly short-sighted and stingy to fight over the surplus from these trades. Who cares???? Lack of fiscal authority to buy is a real issue. “But what if the manufacturers profit” should not be a consideration. https://twitter.com/NYGovCuomo/status/1245024479891329028 …

      sorry to be dense but I need help understanding this. Sounds like Cuomo thinks that a single purchase from the US Government could negotiate a cheaper bulk rate from suppliers than 50 state governments buying separately?

      Sorry, I’m very triggered about this. Not at you. At the world. So on priors I’m probably communicating like an idiot. Cuomo can figure out what the ventilators are worth to the state of NY and offer that. So can other states.

      My immediate thought is that Cuomo doesn't want to stoop to bidding on ventilators. He's too important to do that. He should be in the higher status position relative to vendors or at worst peer status, and bidding feels lower status to him.

      No idea how accurate this is, just my initial reaction.
