autonomous robot driving through the field at night. no chemicals. no pesticides. just UV light killing pathogens and pests while everyone sleeps. this is @tricrobotics. this is what chemical-free pest control looks like at scale.

@michaeljknowles and @FarahMJimenez discuss Race and Culture, Thomas Sowell’s powerful analysis on why culture has a profound impact on the socioeconomic outcomes of different minority groups. Is systemic racism really to blame?

«Я вырос, ненавидя белых людей. Только белые учителя и тренеры в моей школе нравились мне, они были другими. Обычного же белого человека я не любил, скорее на подсознательном уровне. Пока рос, я постоянно слышал об одном и том же, про рабство и то, что белые сделали с моим народом. Молодой и неразумный мозг впитывал это и казалось, что все белые нажились на рабстве. В своём районе ты видишь сплошные трудности, но никто не хочет брать ответственность, все винят белого человека. Поэтому в такой обстановке ты просто начинаешь ненавидеть белых. А большинство белых американцев приехали уже после отмены рабства и не имели к нему никакого отношения. За два с лишним века трансатлантической работорговли в США привезли всего около 450 тысяч рабов, а в Южную Америку 10 миллионов. Масштабы несопоставимы, 450 тысяч, это меньше населения Скоттсдейла. Америка не была пропитана рабством, это лишь часть её истории. Добавлю, первый законный рабовладелец в американской истории, это был чёрный по имени Энтони Джонсон. Чернокожие тоже владели рабами, белых тоже линчевали, просто чернокожих больше. Но об этом вы никогда не услышите, потому что некоторые предпочитают сеять ненависть и ложь.»

In his 1985 letter, Buffett explained why textile efficiency investments were a trap. New machines looked like great ROI, but when competitors copied them, lower costs became the new industry price baseline. Munger: “The productivity gains go to the buyers of the textiles. Nothing sticks to our ribs as owners.” In no-moat commodity businesses, efficiency benefits consumers, not owners. He eventually exited.

The most American thing imaginable is carrying a gun, grilling meat on land you own, publicly roasting the government, then voting to fire the people you're roasting—all in the same day. -ChatGPT answer

This is fantastic to watch:

Decline was a choice, and renewal is a decision.

Milton Friedman's greatest regret. The federal government discovered the perfect crime in 1943: make employers collect taxes before workers ever see their paychecks. You think you earn $60,000 per year, but you actually earn $75,000 and hand over $15,000 to politicians without ever touching it. The psychological difference is enormous. Before payroll withholding, Americans wrote quarterly checks directly to the Treasury. Picture yourself sitting at your kitchen table, writing a $3,750 check to the IRS every three months. The pain was immediate and visceral. Politicians faced constant pressure to justify every dollar because citizens felt the extraction in real time. Withholding transforms this concrete loss into an abstract accounting entry. Your employer becomes an unpaid tax collector, and you never experience the actual cost of government. Worse, most people celebrate their tax refunds as government generosity rather than recognizing them as interest-free loans they provided to politicians. The Treasury collects your money throughout the year, spends it immediately, then returns your own cash and receives gratitude. This system enables the explosion in government spending you witness today. Defense contractors billing $640 for toilet seats, agricultural subsidies for corn syrup, and congressional salaries for 535 people who rarely show up to work. When taxation feels painless, voters stop demanding accountability for how their money gets spent. Milton Friedman helped design withholding as a wartime emergency measure and later called it his greatest regret. Free market economists recognized that the psychological pain of direct taxation creates political pressure for fiscal restraint. The temporary always becomes permanent in government hands, and the emergency justification disappears while the extraction mechanism remains forever.

It doesn't matter if you're going 70 or 140mph, move out of the left lane if someone is following you.

I've been on social media for over 15 years and I've never seen a video with a happy ending quite like this one. Enjoy.

The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder! So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.
