.@friedberg explains what the Politburo is:
“The Politburo is the leaders who elect themselves to dictate the flow of the economy, the allocation of capital, what work individuals are allowed to do, and what activities they’re allowed to do in an unfree society, which is what they’re creating.
They are the true oligarchs.
And this is Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Ro Khanna.
This is the group that is trying to coalesce power and create for themselves a system whereby they have greater influence, greater control over aspects of the economy.
They want to seize the means of production.
They want to control education.
They want to control media.
And anytime there’s an effort by an individual enterprise, or an individual themselves, to go out and build a business and succeed and do something that’s outside of their scope and their span of control, they lose their minds over it.
And that’s what we’re seeing.
So I react to their tweeting and their bullshit, where they’re basically trying to contort things about inequality and fairness and justice, when the truth is they are the rising empire, the evil empire in Star Wars.
They are the folks who want to take from all of us what we were endowed with when this nation was started, and what many people came to this country for, which is individual freedom and liberty, the ability to build a business in peace, the ability to make decisions, to do what you want with your own assets, and to have functionally private property.
And they’re taking it all away.
And they’re trying to take it all away.
And we’re watching, piece by piece, step by step.
So they are forming a politburo where they can effectively control the economy, control education, control the media, and tell us all what we can and can’t do and say.
And it’s frustrating to me to watch it because it’s masqueraded as bullshit virtue, as justice, as equity.
It’s a bunch of nonsense words that they use to try and make themselves seem virtuous when, at the end of the day, they are fundamentally evil.”
Boom! @TrumpAccounts now the #3 app in America - just moved ahead of Google! Not bad for our little start-up! Tell every family & child to download now to make sure all children start life with their own shares in the upside of our greatest companies! 🇺🇸🚀🇺🇸
@chamath The definition of socialism should be updated to: love for money, specifically that which is not yours. Envy and laziness as core socialist principles.
Grave irresponsabilidad del Presidente Balcázar mientras destina 1,000 millones a Petroperú se niega a cerrar la compra de aviones a USA ya seleccionados por la FAP. La primera obligación de un Presidente es defender a la nación! No se juega con la defensa nacional especialmente con enemigos que asechan como Petro en Colombia.
Tomorrow, we launch.
At sunset tonight, Artemis II waits on the pad, ready to carry astronauts potentially farther than any humans have traveled in more than half a century.
The next era of exploration begins.
This is how the daycare fraud works:
- “You watch my kid, I’ll watch yours”
- Enroll these kids into “daycares”
- Collect money from the government
- You and your family then get to live off government subsidies
California has over 35,000+ licensed daycare facilities
Some may see Minnesota as a cautionary tale. It is, but it’s also more than that. It is evidence of what happens when high-trust societies encounter low-trust systems and fail to recognize the asymmetry between them. https://t.co/2Hq6ZXlXtw
I had to look it up out of curiosity.
SNAP (food stamps) is approximately $100 Billion/year.
$6 billion of that is spent on soda (overall the single biggest expense category), $2.6 billion is spent on candy.
