What going on now in LA and CA is the electoral equivalent of the Palisades fire. Same people too. If they want to burn your world, they will burn your world. And you will have to apply to them for a permit to come back and visit the ashes.
Listen up AI nerds: here’s the deal.
We need you to give 50% of your companies to the government and then pay a 50% unrealized capital gains tax on the rest. And then a 37% Federal Tax and a 13.3% California tax. And tip 30%.
And don’t let any of this affect your growth rates or shut your companies down.
We’ll need more money next year.
We’re spending $80B repaving the parking lots of every Learing Center in the country.
Greater good.
@nic_carter Bloody, violent revolutions have been started for far, far less. Some by his forebears. A dispassionate observer might theoretically say it’s time for another.
The dual-income household didn't liberate women.
It inflated housing prices, created the childcare industrial complex, and turned every family into a tax bracket.
Two incomes later, you're still broke — just busier.
almost every city in the country now sits atop a system in which a minority of highly-productive young people are expected to work away their best years around the clock, just to cover rent, while giving away half their income to crazy people, criminals, and bureaucrats.
I want to be really clear in my response. I am not going to retract anything, I stand by every single word. Labour are calling for me to apologise. The answer is no.
Industrial rape across almost every town and city in Britain.
Sexual torture. Murder. Endless rape.
I sat there for two weeks, listening to these girls.
I heard how one girl was raped by a dog, as Muslim men bet on what the animal would do.
Girls drugged and locked in cages, like rats.
Another, raped by 700 men over three years.
Dozens and dozens of these stories through our inquiry, and we are barely scratching the surface.
This was allowed to happen EXACTLY because politicians were cowards, refusing to discuss it.
I will not make that same mistake. I said what I said, and I meant it.
The Labour Party have blood on their hands, yet they think they can demand an apology from me for highlighting the systemic evil they allowed to infect our entire country?
They can piss off.
I am angry about it. Furious. When you hear directly from these girls about what they have been through, it changes the way you see politics. Forever.
Our report will be out very soon.
When that happens, I don’t want any apologies from the Labour Party. I don’t care about that.
I want to see those politicians responsible for covering up this atrocity behind bars for what they have done to these girls.
@balajis@roddreher The problem with this framing is that it presumes “technologists and capitalists” are some cadre of neutral, apolitical observers of the left/right conflict. But they’re not, as we saw throughout Covid and the woke fever dream of the prior years.They made their positions clear.
@DisgracedProp This interview explains a lot of this. There is a middle class death trap. Rich can pay for things, poor get subsidized for everything, middle class is neither. $140k is the new poverty/subsistence line for families. He explains much more eloquently. https://t.co/ZEZHLNCPHc
