A=A. Finance is a beautiful product of capitalism, which is the only moral social system. There is no such thing as an honest revolt against reason. 🇺🇸
The Founding Fathers:
Spoke Greek and Latin
Read Cicero and Plutarch
Risked their lives for a principle
Modern politicians:
Read poll numbers
Study focus groups
Risk nothing
The striking down of Trump’s $100,000 H1B fee may be one of the most positive and important things that happened since the beginning of his Presidency
He truly did not have the power to do it, not even close. It consisted of an attempt to disfigure what the fee was for (cover expenses only - $4/5K, not $100K). He was trying to effectively ban the H1B system, which is an approach supported by socialist political theories, not capitalistic / freedom-oriented ones.
It is the American way to invite competent immigrants to beef up the economy. The American government does not exist to protect Americans from competence.
Quite the contrary is true, notwithstanding complaints of those who would wish to go against the Founding Fathers’ vision.
The Declaration of Independence literally states that King George’s attempt to restrict immigration was among the reasons America came into existence 👍
Why don’t they try to sink our Destroyers?
Oh that’s right, they did - without success.
Best of luck for livestock containers et al., but the truth is that Iran is weak and the decision to approach the situation as the US has is purely from a cost/benefit perspective (i.e., blockade is an effective Act of War). Remember many past conflicts have been resolved via blockades
Can anyone who saw today (the entirety of) Adm. Cooper’s Q&A with Congress honestly say that the papers (WSJ, etc.) are accurately reporting the nature / contents of what was said? I see strong bias, de-emphasis of what they don’t want the message to be. Our media has been very weak during this war. I’m not sure if “treasonous” is the word - maybe it is - but definitely pathetic
Sanders and AOC introduced a bill to pause ALL AI data center construction. 300+ local bills filed. Half of planned 2026 data centers facing delays or cancellation. Each one brings billions to local economies.
The people who say they want American jobs are trying to block the biggest job creation engine since the interstate highway system.
I agree that there is a difference between arbitrary vs. objective principles. Also, I would say it is in the nature of religion to accept force as a method because it de-prioritizes the mind’s importance. This doesn’t mean that all religions will do so, as it’s possible to contradict your own religious principles by implicitly valuing reason
