I introduced the "Fiscal Shackle" law. If politicians fail to do their job, they will pay the price, not the Argentine people.

LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!

@Vodacom So disappointing! A reliable, easy to understand option for the elderly & those mostly on wifi. No remembering to recharge before rollover expires, being stuck without data in an emergency, or dealing with the tricks and gimmicks on the app. Please consider bringing this back 🙏

Dear @Vodacom
Can we still buy 'Pay once upfront' data bundles? This option is nowhere to be found by either clicking on the 'buy now' button, your app, USSD or in-store. Really frustrating! https://t.co/YFYkSO2l6x

David Friedberg Explains The Slow Spiral of Socialism

“Government programs create an anchor. They are a shackle.”

“This is the spiral of socialism.”

“The government programs that are meant to provide support to people require an increase in taxation. That revenue has to come from somewhere.”

“That taxation ultimately leads to an attrition of economic value in that region.”

“Then you have to increase taxation more, and you end up in the spiral.”

“And we're seeing this now, not just in New York where Mamdani’s proposing to increase taxes, but across the entire West Coast.”

“We talked about the 5% billionaire tax. So yes, that's a problem for rich people. Great. No one gives a sh*t about us.”

“But where does this go?”

“In the proposed billionaire tax, it actually gives power and authority to the California State Legislature that they can actually redo this wealth tax at a different level and a different rate in the future.”

“Think about what that does. It now gives property seizure rights to the California State Legislature to set a value level, so anyone now that's got over $100M net worth, and then it becomes over $10M, and then anyone with $1M net worth, and the state can take 5% of your assets every year.”

“Very quickly it becomes the process by which socialism and the socialization of assets that get seized by the government is realized.”

“Once you're hooked on the government for some sort of benefit, it's very hard to unhook yourself.”

“And it definitionally becomes a spiral. That's what leads to socialism.”

“And we have seen it time and again. It's not a big revolution. Socialism emerges slowly.”

“Gavin Newsom yesterday on stage at DealBook, talked about redistributing wealth. Ro Khanna is talking about redistributing wealth.”

“This is becoming the Democrat party line, and they're going to end up trying to seize this moment to take these socialist principles.”

I just visited a shop class in Great Falls, Montana where high school students are building houses for people who need a place to call home.

Let that sink in for a moment.

High schoolers in Great Falls Montana, under the guidance of an excellent shop instructor and lots of community support, are building actual houses. Not birdhouses or doll houses – real homes, built to code from the ground up for real people, and move-in ready.

Yesterday, I toured the latest home these kids are in the process of building. It’s the 48th such home built since 1998, through this remarkable program. While I was there, I ran into @GregForMontana. Like me, the Governor was blown away by what these kids were doing and took the time to talk to each one of them, thanking them for their hard work and congratulating them for what they’d accomplished. I was then invited to join the Governor on stage at Great Falls High, where I answered a few questions about mikeroweWORKS, talked about the many opportunities in the skilled trades, and discussed the ways we might be able to encourage more projects like this one, in Montana and beyond.

It's encouraging to see public/private partnerships done right. And really, it’s not that complicated; it just takes a few stubborn people in various organizations who won't take no for an answer. In this case, too many to name, but a quick shout out to Pete Pace, the shop teacher at the center of High School Homes, the administrators in the school district, the principal at Great Falls High, Sherrie Arey and her devoted crew at @neighborworks, the incredibly generous executives at @WellsFargo who offered another round of financial support, and a Governor with the good sense to push through the normal bureaucratic nonsense that kills programs like this. Bravo to all!

Mike
PS. This is the third time in two months I’ve seen a program like this in action. The first was in Western North Carolina, (Rebuilding the Hollars), the second was in New Orleans, (@uCCNOLA.) The projects all have one thing in common - a shop class with an exceptional instructor. Like I said, it takes support from every direction, but a high school shop class is always where it starts.

For years, I’ve argued that removing shop class from high schools was a mistake that would deny a whole generation of students’ critical exposure to a long list of essential careers and rob them of an opportunity to prepare for the all-important apprenticeships on which most skilled careers are built. Today, standing in the shop class at Great Falls, watching dozens of engaged students cutting, hammering, measuring, and fabricating, it occurred to me that I was wrong. Taking shop class out of high school was not merely a mistake - it was the single dumbest decision in the history of modern education. We didn't just rob a whole generation of students, we robbed ourselves, in a colossal, self-inflicted wound that's led directly to a host of unintended consequences - including the current shortages in every essential skilled trade.

Correcting it, should be at or near the top of every Governor’s agenda in every single state. Because tomorrow’s skilled workforce is currently in the 8th grade, and if we don’t meet these kids where they are - right now - with programs like this, we’re in for a world of hurt.

.@billmaher: The Bible is full of nonsense and wickedness.

@benshapiro: But you and I agree a lot on morality, right? Because we were born in a society built by the Bible. You can think you formed your own morality, but you were born morally on third base.

This is how Milei transformed a generation of leftists into libertarians😍

If no one in your country is doing anything like this, you're losing the cultural battle.

Socialists are a strange species, they always make the same „tax the rich“ mistake, and are surprised that tax revenues go down. Successful people, who pay most taxes, and create jobs for others, simply leave. Why is it so difficult to understand?

[John Stossel @JohnStossel]

For years, Europe’s economy was about the size of America’s. Not today.

Today, the U.S. is 50% RICHER--despite the EU having 100 million MORE people.

What changed?
