When you foster a legal system where property ownership has nothing to do with merit but only raw power you foster this political reaction.05 Jul 2026 17:18 +0000at://did:plc:yzmo3kmhhazep4mbfapy2mng/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpw3h6lwec2ehttps://bsky.app/profile/matthewstoller.bsky.social/post/3mpn2pp7yg224Yes, it turns out there's good evidence that incredibly high egg prices from 2022-2025 were the result of a conspiracy. https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/crime-pays-the-egg-bandits-made-a02 Jul 2026 03:11 +0000at://did:plc:yzmo3kmhhazep4mbfapy2mng/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpn2pp7yg224https://bsky.app/profile/matthewstoller.bsky.social/post/3mogpjxpglk2lI wrote up an obvious reason why the war in Iran didn't crash the economy. America prepared for it by stockpiling oil, a decision made in the 1970s when we aggressively managed markets with public power. There's a lesson here - preparing for shocks works. https://www.thebignewsletter.com/p/one-obvious-reason-the-iran-war-hasnt16 Jun 2026 21:10 +0000at://did:plc:yzmo3kmhhazep4mbfapy2mng/app.bsky.feed.post/3mogpjxpglk2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/matthewstoller.bsky.social/post/3mogljl7izk2nI really enjoyed doing this show with Julia Angwin on why Facebook is dying.
