6'4" in the 1800s was like being 6'9" today. His stovepipe hat pushed him over 7 feet. Lincoln was an absolute giant.

Rome handed out free grain to 40,000 citizens in 73 BC. By 46 BC, Julius Caesar found 320,000 people lining up for their monthly ration. That eight-fold expansion happened in under three decades, and it shows you how welfare states actually grow.

No Roman senator stood up and announced a plan to addict a third of the city to government bread. It happened incrementally, through political competition. Each magistrate who wanted votes expanded eligibility. Each expansion normalized the next one. The citizen who once considered the dole shameful eventually expected it, then demanded it, then organized politically to protect it.

This is the core mechanism free market thinkers have identified across every era: once you create a transfer program, you create a constituency for that program. Recipients vote. Administrators build careers. Grain merchants who supply the state develop a stake in keeping the contracts flowing. The political economy locks in.

Caesar, to his credit, actually cut the rolls back to 150,000 through verification audits. It was one of his more economically coherent moves, though the Senate still murdered him. His successors quietly let the numbers climb again.

What did the dole require? Massive grain imports from Sicily, Sardinia, and Egypt, organized through state logistics at state expense, funded by taxation and conquest. When the conquest revenue dried up, the obligation remained. Rome had written a check against future military success, and future military success eventually failed to arrive.

The lesson is not complicated. Distribute a benefit and you distribute dependency. Distribute dependency and you distribute political power to whoever controls the distribution. The grain dole didn't weaken Rome overnight, but it made every subsequent reform politically impossible.

You can see the decline of society just by looking at what we used to build versus what we build now.

Just stop doing this dumb shit.

If some made-up rule says you have to, just break or change it.

[skumm🧊 @skumWgmi]

You are being lied to.

Today I present to you the only inflation index that matters. The Taco Bell chicken quesadilla inflation index.

2001 Chicken quesadilla: $1.89

2026 Chicken quesadilla: $6.19

This is a total inflation of ~327% or an annualized amount of just over 6%/уear.

Don't let the lizard people in the government trick you into thinking inflation is 2-3% per year...plan accordingly.

This is what the average scene looks like when a white farmer is murdered in South Africa!

Tortured in unimaginable ways for hours on end, slaughtered like animals simply because they white!

@realDonaldTrump @elonmusk @SecRubio when will it be put to an end?

Stephanie White is tweaking hard today. Second game in a row she’s playing Caitlin Clark as a 2nd or 3rd option…….and for the second straight game the opponents are dominating Indiana.

Keeping the ball out of Caitlin Clark’s hands: Stephanie White 🤝 Opponents
