Gen Z “TikTok stars” would have been considered erotic dancers 20 years ago. Many women in my generation won’t know what it’s like to have an identity outside of being sexy for the camera. Is this really the endpoint of liberation we intended?

My current lifemaxxing stack:

- work 60 hrs a week putting out fires
- date night with wife
- beers with the boys
- round of golf
- sleep in a tent with my kids
- too much time on social media
- stay up too late to watch an NBA game
- drink a random bottle of wine with my wife on Sunday

California keeps dumping votes. Odds are shifting because the vote dumps always seem to go one way.

Count until you get the result you want?

[The Misfit Patriot @misfitpatriot_]

So basically California counts less than 50% of the vote on election night, stops counting while they “wait” for the “late mail in ballots” to arrive, and then just basically says “we’ll let you know in 7-14 business days who won”?

Is that how they do elections? Am I really getting that right?

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

Colombia just held their election.

They require voter ID and use paper ballots. They hand-count the votes of each station one by one. No machines or mail-in ballots due to security concerns.

~24 million votes.
It was all done in a couple hours.

@joand0x @Pat_Stedman Nobody said anything about slaves. I’d never argue for that. I’m talking about people who’d happily work on a short term basis for pay that is life changing in their country, which they would return home to in short order, and insignificant in our own.

[Charlotte Broukhim @CBroukhim]

The workers you’re talking about are illegal. There isn’t currently an existing system that functions in the West the way I am describing. I’m arguing for the development of a new class of immigration that is short term, not replacing any current worker (i.e. it’s for couples who currently couldn’t afford any help at all whatsoever) and doesn’t include the kinds of sweeping benefits that illegal immigrants enjoy in many states (perhaps even including birthright citizenship). You could tax it and even create revenue, vs. the current situation with illegal immigrants paid under the table. The point is, I find this a much more viable and realistic outcome than I do polygamy.

[Charlotte Broukhim @CBroukhim]

@wrap_check @Pat_Stedman Think about the au pair system but opened up to workers beyond cute college students. There’s certainly a way to institute this without being abusive/ denying freedom of movement as the Kafala system does.

[Charlotte Broukhim @CBroukhim]

No need, just compare American women who can afford some help to American women on TikTok ragging on their husband not taking out the trash/doing dishes. It’s not sustainable for such a wealthy country to not have affordable options for domestic help in the case of two adults working full time. The much worse version of supplemental help we seem to accept as normal in this country is universal daycare.

[Charlotte Broukhim @CBroukhim]

It actually is about dishes and laundry. The current situation— where you have two working adults who cannot afford supplemental cleaning services or Nannie’s— is untenable. American teens are too glued to their devices to be trusted or even interested in babysitting/“mother’s helper” jobs. Go study how wealthy Middle Eastern countries— with family-first cultures, where even fewer women work— operate vis-a-vis domestic help. It’s extremely common. And way more realistic than polygamy. Sorry

[Charlotte Broukhim @CBroukhim]

Election was explicitly about illegal immigrants who game the system, don’t pay taxes or abide by laws, take advantage of benefits for citizens; etc. There is a very legal, beneficial-for-all way to have inexpensive domestic labor for American families where both parents work jobs and mom is burned out. You’re delusional if you think polygamy is more likely of an outcome than this.

[Charlotte Broukhim @CBroukhim]

If middle class Americans could afford a part-time housekeeper at an extremely low wage an American worker would never take they’d probably be thrilled. There’s no job “replacement”— these are the couples fighting over who does dishes/laundry, they don’t currently have help. This is how most of the Middle East operates— even with polygamy and much more community. Please note: “Path to Citizenship” =\ temporary worker.

[Beff (e/acc) @beffjezos]

Many, many such cases in Californian politics.

My big bet is the wealth tax push is to sabotage the US tech ecosystem in service to the CCP

[Geiger Capital @Geiger_Capital]

It will soon be common knowledge that China has been pushing harmful policies from inside of our own country…

DEI, absurd climate regulations, wealth taxes, soft-on-crime reforms, illegal immigration and even the anti-standardized test movement.

@Cernovich If you had a short courtship and engagement, I don’t mind getting to know each other for 6-12 months before having kids

Best parenting advice hands down
