Independent of whether that is actually right, where did I consider them to be connected in this discussion? I'm not even inferring a political motive, I'm just stating that it is a dumb thing to say.

I can personally discount everything he says, that doesn't make it any less legitimate to say that the President of the United States shouldn't hold press conferences in which he over-hypes the proven effectiveness of certain drugs during a pandemic.
Otherwise anyone can just claim anything whenever they want without any proof whatsoever.

The problem wasn't that Trump encouraged trying it, but that he clearly exaggerated what we knew about its effects and continued to do so for a long time even after having been confronted about it.

This seems like it would suffer from the principal-agent problem.

Nope, this is agonizing.

Right. The economy has a fixed amount of assets that generate money. Oh, wait.

Really appreciated this one. He obviously repeated some of the key things from his talk in the last one, but still had very valuable new insights. Can't say that about all of them, Aaron Levie's talk even had the same joke about college dropouts in it.

Norway and Switzerland are in the EEA and Schengen, so it doesn't really matter whether they are in the EU or out of it, they benefit. They have to pay into the EU without any representation though. Not the best deal in my eyes. Note that both have agreed to Schengen, which has dramatically eased
Iceland and Greece have had economic trouble, but because of vastly different reasons (insert any link to Paul Krugman analyses of the European debt crisis here). The Troika is also not a product of the EU, it is a product of the Euro and the lack of a fiscal oversight complementing the monetary oversight (ECB).
Stay in. There is no chance of this kind of stuff happening in the UK because you aren't in the Euro.

True, but the counterpoint would be that we don't need to stay on this planet. It is at least possible that we can sustain growth until we are multi-planetary.
