"IMO both are true but the order matters. The flood of private capital only works as a substitute because we first made going public expensive (& risky & short-term focused). You are right on incentives though. If you can get clean liquidity at a strong price without disclosure quarterly pressure etc it is rational to take it and in most cases its a lower cost of capital than public markets BUT this market did not just grow by accident. It grew because founders and investors were pushed away from public ones over time"

"Ever wonder why sedans disappeared and every car is huge now "Thanks Obama" His administration changed fuel economy standards in a way that had the perverse impact of making cars even bigger. Here are all the vehicles for sale by the X largest US automakers. XX vehicles X sedans (6%). XX years ago this chart would have been XX% sedans What happened Obama administration changed auto fuel efficiency rules to tie fuel economy targets to vehicle size. Under the new system: -The bigger the car's footprint the easier the MPG target was. -Light trucks (including SUVs and crossovers) had far lower"

"In Europe they forced automakers to lower their average fleet emissions across all vehicles they sold. This distorted the market in some funny ways. Aston Martin launched the Cygnet a "compliance car." It was a rebadged Toyota iQ at 3x the price because it had such low emissions that it would decrease the average. but of course nobody wanted an Aston Martin that looks like this with a tiny engine. so it didn't help them that much. Aston Martin eventually negotiated a small carmaker exemption from the standards. Other companies started "pooling" sales with Tesla effectively giving Tesla a huge"

"A controversial opinion I hold: people should be able to sell their kidneys. It would save thousands of lives (50k die per year due to the shortage) AND save billions of taxpayer $$$. Did you know that almost X% of the entire US federal budget goes to treating kidney failure (insane stat). We have 520000 people on dialysis costing $100k each per year. When both kidneys fail patients are put on dialysis which costs $100k per year ties people to machines and has a median survival of only X years. A patient that gets a transplant from a deceased donor transplant is much better typically"

"Private markets are the new public markets. It's notable that in many of these rounds companies are only selling 2-3% and it's likely secondary. These rounds aren't really fundraising" they are valuation signaling and liquidity. Deep pools of private capital are desperate for allocation in top-tier assets and founders are happy to oblige. we made it too difficult to be a public company with regulatory headaches and founders saw the opportunity to avoid the volatility of public markets so here we are and now retail misses out on the runups of these companies"
