There are only 3 categories of people. 1) domestic terrorists. 2) supporters of domestic terrorists. 3) people who want to unite against domestic terrorists and raise their kids in a civil society. Stupidity is no longer a valid excuse, so choose carefully.

💥NEW: @DavidSacks: “We know that there’s billions of dollars in fraud in California for things like Medicaid, unemployment, EBT, hospice, the homeless industrial complex and on and on. That’s all been proven.” “Is it really so hard to believe that some of the same groups — the same interest groups, the same NGOs — would be willing to exploit these loopholes in the dirty voter rolls, in the millions of ballots that go to incorrect or non-existent addresses, the non-existent chain of custody, the non-existent signature verification?” “The no ID, not only to vote but to register, counting ballots without postmarks if received 7 days later, registering thousands of ballots from homeless shelters that don’t even have any beds?” “These are all known things. So when you say that there’s no fraud, it’s like, come on, there’s loopholes!” “And all you gotta do is look at the results and see that there’s something crooked going on here.” “It may be legalized — but it’s fraud!”

Interview with Elon Musk from 2012: " My proceeds from PayPal after tax were about $180M, $100M of that went into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, and $10M into SolarCity and I literally had to borrow money for rent."

Every individual needs a way to consume AI models with privacy and free from govt surveillance. @paradatum is the only one that has a viable answer for this.

‘Millions of people are waking up, daily, to find a growing list of rules and laws being enforced against them.’ @GoodwinMJ slams the ruling class, believing it’s the root cause of people’s frustration in a new era of ‘anarcho-tyranny’, as people are being ‘pushed’ to the edge.

It is criminal that our government enabled a bat virus to infect and spread between humans. Indeed, it is hard to imagine a bigger betrayal of our species. It is equally troubling that the mad scientists who did this then gaslit all the people of the world about it, including those who CORRECTLY interpreted the evidence. Then, of course, the very same monsters amped up fear of the Covid frankenvirus and steered the panicked public away from safe medicines, and toward an obviously dangerous gene-therapy which they falsely called a vaccine in order to lure us into acceptance. These are among the greatest crimes EVER committed against humanity. We now have persuasive evidence of everything I have said above. If we don't correct the record and hold the perpetrators to account, this pattern will happen again, and again, and again--shortening our life expectancy, and degrading our quality of life each time that it does. This is our Nuremberg moment. We can not simply move on from this ghastly chapter of history. We must finish it. @brownstoneinst

The commies stealing trillions of dollars in govt money already… want more. 🙄
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American. And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars! You don't think that's worth it?
Community note
5% of $1.2T is $60b. 8m students in BA/BS programs on average pay over $20k/yr, or ~$160b/yr for BA/BS degrees only. That tax could not cover even half of only US bachelor degree costs for just 1 year, excluding grad, ass., or trade degrees totaling another ~10m students. nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/i… bestcolleges.com/research/colle…

Lazy communists are the termites of civilization.

Marx lived his entire adult life as a dependent. The capitalist system funded his "research" through Engels, whose family wealth came from textile factories. The irony cuts deep: capitalism's profits subsidized its most famous critic. Marx never held a real job. Never met payroll. Never risked capital or faced bankruptcy. He spent decades theorizing about labor value while avoiding actual labor. His insights into production came from library books, not factory floors. The parasitic intellectual tradition he spawned continues today. Academic Marxists collect taxpayer-funded salaries while denouncing the market system that creates the wealth they consume. It's time to get rid of these people.

For those who still think Elon Musk doesn’t earn his wealth and is somehow just “lucky”.
Marc Andreessen says Elon Musk runs 120 design reviews a day in 5-minute slots. He does this while running six different companies at once. Andreessen says Elon maps each company as a production process. Each process has one bottleneck — the single thing slowing it down. Elon finds the engineer working on that bottleneck and sits with them until it's fixed. He does this at Tesla 52 times a year. Personally. "There's no CEO like this." Most CEOs run their companies through a wall of middle managers. Andreessen watched IBM collapse under that model. Inside IBM, they had a name for the failure mode: the "Big Gray Cloud." It was the traveling court of suited men who kept the CEO away from engineers. After 12 layers of compounding lies, the CEO had no idea what was happening. Elon's method is the polar opposite. Design review math: - 5 minutes per engineer - 12 reviews per hour - 10 hours per day - 120 reviews per day An engineer described working for him as entering "a zone of shocking competence." On sustaining it, Elon's rule is: "I don't take vacations." What's the one weekly bottleneck in your work that nobody's fixing? P.S.

Voltaire passed away today in 1778. There are two quotes of his I always come back to: "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." and “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Community note
The first quote is not by Voltaire. It was created by Evelyn Beatrice Hall in 1906 to summarize his philosophy. The second quote is a variation of Voltaire's 1765 words which referred to committing injustices rather than atrocities. quoteinvestigator.com/2015/06/01/def… quoteinvestigator.com/2021/11/08/abs…

Socialism says: "You owe me." Capitalism says: "What can I offer you in exchange?" It's hard to find a clearer distinction between a zero sum mindset and one based on mutual benefit.

Anyone remember that time that Bernie tried debating a libertarian?
Mr. Bezos: Let's have that debate. Under my 5% billionaires wealth tax, we'd: -Give $12K to a working family of 4 -Expand Medicare for dental, vision, hearing -Guarantee universal childcare -Raise starting teacher pay to $60K And you'd still be worth $269 billion after taxes.

Which way Western Man?
Something is definitely wrong, and a lot of opportunists, race baiters, and utter charlatans need to be removed from all positions of power and/or completely ignored. Hard choices lay in front of US.

If communists had to rely solely on other communists to sustain themselves, by their own standards they’d collapse almost immediately. They denounce profit, investment, ownership, and wealth creation while depending on a capitalist economy productive enough to keep generating things to confiscate, regulate, or redistribute. The irony is that the system they hate is the very thing subsidizing their ability to hate it comfortably. The moment production, property rights, and incentives actually disappear consistently, shortages, corruption, and collapse follow right behind.

What socialists accuse billionaires of being is actually what government becomes once it controls the economy. Under capitalism, a business still has to persuade you to trade voluntarily. Under socialism, the political class controls production, distribution, prices, wages, and property through coercion. And any profit you’re allowed to keep exists only by political permission, permission that can be revoked on a whim, which history shows eventually always happens. Wild how people imagine they’ll somehow profit after surrendering the right to own anything. What exactly do they think abolishing private property in favor of state ownership is for?
Socialism is where the people work and the people get the profit. No disgusting billionaires sitting on their asses taking whatever they like. In the 1970s Europe and America was far more Socialist that it is now. Renationalise EVERYTHING.
