| The way I see it, any serious effort to solve the debt crisis will likely come too late. It’s a timing issue. 2026 is a midterm election year — politicians won’t want to take the painful steps needed to improve our economic picture: cutting spending, raising taxes, and the like. Any sort of bipartisan effort that comes after will both take time and be unlikely to be effective, because those commissions generally don’t work very well in practice. That’s what it looks like to me. I’m curious to hear if you see things similarly. @TheProfGPod You can watch the full conversation here: _JLSAat94?si=AIGAM6BTiw7ZWCCC |

Ray Dalio’s Thoughts on China & Diversification

My principles around investment risk are the same during periods of turbulence (like we’re seeing now with tariffs) and periods of calm.
The most important thing is to pick the size of your exposure. For me, it all comes back to finding 15 good, uncorrelated return streams.

Happy World Ocean Day
2025-06-08
Happy World Ocean Day and welcome to the OceanXplorer! We’re heading to the UN Ocean Conference in France where world leaders, explorers, and scientists are gathering to protect the oceans and better understand them through exploration.
The ocean is our biggest, most important asset, accounting for 72% of the Earth’s surface–so more than twice as much as all continents combined. It is incredibly interesting, valuable, and almost totally ignored.
And if you’re excited about the ocean, you can watch our series OceanXplorers on @hulu and @disneyplus I think you’ll enjoy it.
