(Can’t remember the source of this idea).
Governments SHOULD do inefficient things. If those things were efficient and profitable, then business would do them but we need governments to do the things that don’t have an immediate payoff.
An example, building roads and other infrastructure to connect rural communities. No business would do this as it wouldn’t be worth the ROI, governments should and many businesses benefit as well as the residents.
This doesn’t mean governments can’t/shouldn’t be more efficient and seek to limit waste, but judging a government by a corporation is dangerous.
I just updated the Sketchy Gospel about page as I try to get my sketchy advent devotional series ready in time. I have a cool theme for the series and it’s just four/five emails so it should be easily doable. We’ll see!

Ah instagram. Where I’m being offered “get paid for drawing: beginner illustration course”. Maybe, just maybe, if you’re an absolutely beginner you shouldn’t do it with the goal to get paid for it. Maybe, just maybe, it’s okay to have hobbies for fun and not hustles for money.
š Does Tim Keller Have an Intellectual Successor? - Jordan Cooper some good reflections here from Jordan but I’d certainly debate some throw away points he makes.
I think today would be a really good day to do a random act of kindness towards someone.
The means are the end.
I guess America decided “Sure, he tried a violent insurrection and he will deal with his enemies list on day one as well as deport millions of legal and illegal immigrants, but that’s a risk I’m willing to take for lower inflation driven by measures that most leading economists say will increase inflation.”
What could possibly go wrong.
