Munger believes “this is ultimately political quicksand and a redistricting war at the end of day is a loss to American voters.”

I had this idea 15 years ago, and the idea that everything was changing and it was quicksand under our feet was a little less prevalent back then.

For the next eight years, as if submerging into quicksand, I sank deeper into debt.

So I know all too well that the hype is built on quicksand — specifically, a seven-decade history of failure.
