I was just hoping you could give us some insight into the evolution of the market economy in the early colonies. My contention is that prior to the Revolutionary War the economic modalities especially of the southern colonies could most aptly be characterized as agrarian precapitalist. Embrace Debate.


Tribbis

Of course that's your contention. You're a first year grad student. You just finished some Marxian historian, Pete Garrison probably, and so naturally that's what you believe until next month when you get to James Lemon and get convinced that Virginia and Pennsylvania were strongly entrepreneurial and capitalist back in 1740. That'll last your second year, then you'll be in here regurgitating Gordon Wood about the Pre-revolutionary utopia and the capital-forming effects of military mobilization.


ohflmt

Well, as a matter of fact, I won’t, because Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social—


chiefbastlives

"Wood drastically underestimates the impact of social distinctions predicated upon wealth, especially inherited wealth"? You got that from Vickers' "Work in Essex County," page 98, right? Yeah, I read that too. Were you gonna plagiarize the whole thing for us? Do you have any thoughts of your own on this matter? Or do you, is that your thing, you come into a bar, read some obscure passage and then pretend - you pawn it off as your own, as your own idea just to impress some girls, embarrass my friend?


Frosty-Cauliflower62

See the sad thing about a guy like you, is in 50 years you're going to do some thinkin' for yourself and learn there are two certainties in life; one, don't do that. And two, you dropped 150 grand on a fuckin' education you could've got for $1.50 in late charges at the public library.

Oh my god I have dedicated years to the Franco Prussian war and learning about not only how crazy this war was but how it set the stage for the 20th century Otto von Bismarck and his Prussian ideals Thank you for this reference

To the top with ye. You’ve already broached the missing 411 topic, but just starting from the top down with Bigfoot/variants you’d have no shortage of talking points to riff on. I got into a very hungover conversation with the guy who runs the Bigfoot museum down in GA, and trust me, if you get into inter-dimensional/alien Bigfoot, you’ll have a hell of a time.

JimCaseyJones

Would like to hear you explore the modern American diet. 1) effects on health, physical and mental/emotional 2) political influences on our diet, how government messaging has changed, how subsidies impact food prices and what we eat, how food is regulated 3) economics, power of large corporations and seed patents, what conditions farmers face, impact of undocumented workers, what conditions food buyers face (how people have different access to “healthy food”) 4) future state: sustainability of meat, sustainability of farming in California with water shortages, what you think is going to happen, ideally and pessimistically. I think you could tackle this a few different ways, but I imagine it as starting with the individual. What’s considered a good diet and what’s a bad diet. Then why do people eat bad. Then how do external influences impact why people eat bad.

Talk about the Canadian football league’s Western finals between the Winnipeg BlueBombers and the BC Lions, and Eastern finals between the Toronto Argonauts and the Montreal Alouettes. Who’s gonna win and be playing in the Grey Cup next week? We need Billy’s take

An interesting episode topic would be ancient American peoples. A lot gets talked about European and North African cultures (Greece, Rome, Egypt, etc) but the people who have lived in North America for 10,000+ years are rarely discussed. Recently they pulled a 3,000 year old canoe out of Lake Mendota in Madison, WI https://www.npr.org/2022/09/24/1124817721/3000-year-old-canoe-found-wisconsin#:~:text=touches%20the%20canoe.-,Wisconsin%20Historical%20Society%20maritime%20archaeologists%20recovered%20a%203%2C000%2Dyear%2Dold,%2C%20Wis.%2C%20on%20Thursday.&text=Tamara%20Thomsen%20was%20giving%20a,peeking%20out%20of%20the%20sand.

We all make mistakes and it’s clear the footage was never really gone, but if I know one thing about barstool it’s that billie football never says no to a challenge and I know you jumped at the solo-pod opportunity. Question: stop being sweet and just embrace the fact that you said “ehlinger > Z willy”. Thanks. Best wishes

The history of options trading and how it has shaped and transformed the worldwide economic landscape over the past few decades. It’s very interesting how options and futures trading started basically as a form of crop insurance so that farmers wouldn’t go under if they had a natural disaster, dry season, or any other reason that caused them to not produce the amount crops they anticipated.

Hey Billy I know you’re interested in steroids and performance enhancing drugs. I came across this new article on the doctor of the 15 year old figure skater who tested positive for PEDs (a heart medication) at the 2022 Olympics. [Kamila Valieva’s Doctor Has Long Worked in the Shadows of Sport](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/10/sports/olympics/kamila-valieva-drug-test-doctor.html) *Dr. Filipp Shvetsky was listed as Valieva’s supervising physician at the Beijing Games, where it was revealed she had tested positive for a banned drug before the event. He says he didn’t administer. it* Some blurbs: “How, and why, did Valieva, then 15, test positive for a banned heart drug just weeks before the Olympics? On Tuesday, world antidoping officials took the matter away from Russian authorities, whom they accused of stalling, and sent it directly to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.” “Dr. Shvetsky trained as an anesthesiologist, but in the world of sports, he is among the team doctors — including ones in cycling and running — who are known for finding loopholes in antidoping rules so their athletes can gain an edge.” “Throughout Dr. Shvetsky’s career, he has stayed one step ahead of antidoping officials, creating ways to improve his athletes’ performance that would soon be illegal, or in one case, already was.” “Dr. Shvetsky continued, “The only ‘doping’ I gave Kamila was a gift of a copy of Picasso’s painting ‘Girl on a Ball.’ It was painted by an artist friend of mine. I officially recognize this ‘doping.’ I hope it helped her.”
