Other People's Money: and How the Bankers Use It

Louis Dembitz 1856-1941 Brandeis
Austin CarrAustin Carr

Funny aside: the origin of this phrase is generally credited to Brandeis’ book “Other People's Money and How the Bankers Use It,” excerpted in @Harpers in early 1900s. Which is a reference that’s too cute/on the nose if @elonmusk knew it, but I sorta doubt it was intentional. https://t.co/Apd35mOkwn

Genuinely, Elon would save everyone a lot of time if he just took a break and binged, say, “Yours in Truth” by @jeff_himmelman, @AoDespair’s 5th season of The Wire + anything @jsinger10 writes. @PaulG & @DavidSacks could bring popcorn!
