I don’t know who needs to hear this but… Kevin Warsh will also fail to get inflation back to 2%. They don’t control government spending.

"No, rent control never works- economists, historians, and city planners tried to warn them it was a bad idea, but it was a populist ballot initiative.... Proponents somehow delude themselves into thinking it might, but... but it might work for us." - St Paul Populists

When Jimmy Carter purchased the teachers’ union’s endorsement in 1979 by establishing the Department of Education, the USA was #1 in education. 46 years and $4.1 trillion dollars later, the USA is #40. We are, however, #1 in cost per student.

It would be *much* more socially transformative to ban social media for over-65s

Hey why didn’t other countries step up to fill the gaps left by USAID? Was it not a humanitarian imperative for France or Germany or the UK to fund those programs? Was it American taxpayers or no one? (Hint: it’s because Jon is full of shit)

The problem with many non-profits is that they get paid for "trying," not for "succeeding." That's why profit is a powerful and effective motivator.

OK... take my money

Elon after achieving trillionaire status

My whole timeline is full of millionaires complaining about a trillionaire

You see a trillion dollars. Gavin sees 3/4 of a mile of high speed rail.

The federal gov't should offer a verification API for SSN and EIN numbers. They should charge for it ($5 per verification or something). They should notify the holder of the number that someone is verifying them.

Kids today have no idea how good The Onion was, like when Autistic Reporter Michael Falk delivered this news package, “Train Thankfully Unharmed In Crash That Killed One Man”

Thomas Sowell: “It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.”

USA. A restaurant. I could not finish my meal, and I bowed my head in shame. Then they handed me a box, and I nearly wept. The plate had been enormous. I am a samurai; I do not surrender to food. But this was a siege, and halfway through I knew I could not win. I set down my fork. In my country, to leave food on the plate is to insult the rice, the farmer, the cook, and your own ancestors, roughly in that order. So I sat there, quietly making peace with my dishonor. Then the waitress smiled and said the most beautiful sentence I have heard here. "You want a box for that?" A box. To take it. Home. I went still. "You would save it?" I asked. "Yeah, of course. It's still good." It's still good. Three words my grandmother said to me a thousand times, across an ocean, in another language, over a bowl I was not allowed to leave. I had crossed the world expecting to find everything different here. And a stranger in an apron had just handed me my grandmother's exact heart, in a small paper container, without knowing she had done anything at all. I took the box. I held it like a newborn. I bowed to her, to the cook, and to the half a sandwich within, which would now live to see another day. That night I ate it by a window, slowly, the way you eat something that was nearly lost. It was, if anything, better the second time. Everything saved is. So now I order too much on purpose. Not from greed. From faith. Because I have learned that here, the same as home, a meal does not end when you are full. It ends when the box is empty. And the box is never empty the same day. Which means a good meal can last forever, as long as someone, anyone, still believes it is too good to waste.

I like Spencer’s style. He just says “hey, that’s not good. let’s fix that”—instead of “MSM is lying to you! Where is Hunter’s Laptop? It’s all rigged.” I really don’t care about the Political Crusades. I just want the homeless people off the sidewalk.

Democrats are the party of criminal justice reform, lenient drug policy, and compassionate sentencing... ...until it no longer is beneficial to their partisan interests, in which case they become unprincipled Republicans.

"The thing breaking America isn’t a person, a party or a conspiracy. It’s a self-perpetuating system, built over decades by well-meaning people making individually rational decisions that added up to something no one would build on purpose."

Math professors at UC schools want to teach students who are ready for college courses. That means calculus, and not middle school remediation. As it turns out, middle school math should be taught in middle school, and high school math should be taught in high school. The UC system doesn’t exist to do the job California’s K-12 system was supposed to do.
