Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital.

Cette phrase change tout.

L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ?

Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible.

Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur.

Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé.

Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire.

L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants.

Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution.

Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain.

Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée.

Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien.

La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose.

Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins.

Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires.

La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.

@sd1459 @RichNelsonMkts How have those 3.5 million cattle not always been there? If the total number of dairy cows isn't increasing, how is the number of their calves increasing?

[Darin D. Fessler ✝️ @DDFalpha]

China is sitting back & watching the political turmoil over tariffs in the US play out while not saying much. They don't have to... They know they have the upper hand when it comes to US agriculture just so long as Brazilian production is available. And just think the US Big Ag did this to the American farmer. I question many times what Big Ag has really ever done for US ag sector besides take more margin and push for more subsidies. I could call them all out but you already know who they are... If the food supply is part of national security, then take the monopolies out of it. They certainly shouldn't be publicly traded. It's about shareholder value, not the interest of the end customer.

@ErickFarmer73 @sd1459 @TrumpDailyPosts @TrumpWarRoom But is that trumps decision? Feels like Mexico is more cartel related than actual screw worm

[Tommy Kuhl @Tomkat69247]

@sd1459 @TrumpDailyPosts @TrumpWarRoom You think closing the mexican border is a Trump policy more than a screw worm reality?? I just wouldnt chalk that up to Trumps credit for good or bad... Tariff wise, the argument would be increasing US supply longer term vs short term band aids that are pushing US beef out

@sd1459 @seedcattleguy @scott0960b @FarmActionUS @RCALFUSA But these cattle were always there, youre just saying that they are beef calves now? 9 million dairy cows have 9 million calves still? Total lbs to the market isn't drastically different than 10 or even 15 years ago?

China exports around $525 billion dollars worth of products to the US.

Do you really think that importing 30 billion dollars worth of soybeans from the US is even a blip on their radar?

Ya they need us more.

@RichNelsonMkts Whats the reason futures would be lower for this?

[Gummi @gummibear737]

I’ll withhold judgment on this Epstein files release until everything can be understood in its proper context

But I’d like to remind people that the Biden DOJ had this, and this never leaked nor did they prosecute Trump on anything related to it

Probably a big nothingburger

[Theo Wold @RealTheoWold]

Just so we have this clear:

Democrats import millions upon millions of illegals. They resettle them all around the country with our tax dollars. And they count them in the census to give blue states more seats in Congress than they otherwise would have.

So, Americans voted for a government that promised mass deportations. They kept that promise and started removing the illegal aliens that Democrats brought here.

Democrat cities then made it illegal for local enforcement agencies to assist immigration enforcement. And they encouraged hoards of left-wing lunatics to threaten, harass, and intimidate ICE agents.

And those leftist activists listened and actively interfered with ICE operations.

And when some of those people got themselves killed, Democrats blame it on immigration enforcement.

It’s Democrats’ fault. All of it.

[Eric Schwalm @Schwalm5132]

As a former Special Forces Warrant Officer with multiple rotations running counterinsurgency ops—both hunting insurgents and trying to separate them from sympathetic populations—I’ve seen organized resistance up close. From Anbar to Helmand, the pattern is familiar: spotters, cutouts, dead drops (or modern equivalents), disciplined comms, role specialization, and a willingness to absorb casualties while bleeding the stronger force slowly.

What’s unfolding in Minneapolis right now isn’t “protest.” It’s low-level insurgency infrastructure, built by people who’ve clearly studied the playbook.

Signal groups at 1,000-member cap per zone. Dedicated roles: mobile chasers, plate checkers logging vehicle data into shared databases, 24/7 dispatch nodes vectoring assets, SALUTE-style reporting (Size, Activity, Location, Unit, Time, Equipment) on suspected federal vehicles. Daily chat rotations and timed deletions to frustrate forensic recovery. Vetting processes for new joiners. Mutual aid from sympathetic locals (teachers providing cover, possible PD tip-offs on license plate lookups). Home-base coordination points. Rapid escalation from observation to physical obstruction—or worse.

This isn’t spontaneous outrage. This is C2 (command and control) with redundancy, OPSEC hygiene, and task organization that would make a SF team sergeant nod in recognition. Replace “ICE agents” with “occupying coalition forces” and the structure maps almost 1:1 to early-stage urban cells we hunted in the mid-2000s.

The most sobering part? It’s domestic. Funded, trained (somewhere), and directed by people who live in the same country they’re trying to paralyze law enforcement in. When your own citizens build and operate this level of parallel intelligence and rapid-response network against federal officers—complete with doxxing, vehicle pursuits, and harassment that’s already turned lethal—you’re no longer dealing with civil disobedience. You’re facing a distributed resistance that’s learned the lessons of successful insurgencies: stay below the kinetic threshold most of the time, force over-reaction when possible, maintain popular support through narrative, and never present a single center of gravity.

I spent years training partner forces to dismantle exactly this kind of apparatus. Now pieces of it are standing up in American cities, enabled by elements of local government and civil society. That should keep every thinking American awake at night.

Not because I want escalation. But because history shows these things don’t de-escalate on their own once the infrastructure exists and the cadre believe they’re winning the information war.

We either recognize what we’re actually looking at—or we pretend it’s still just “activism” until the structures harden and spread.

Your call, America. But from where I sit, this isn’t January 2026 politics anymore.
It’s phase one of something we’ve spent decades trying to keep off our own soil.

[Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 @FmrRepMTG]

While you are being gas lit by the Political Industrial Complex, all over social media and the news telling you what you are supposed to be outraged about, think about this.

Republicans funded the Refugee Program by nearly $6 billion of your tax payer dollars in the DHS appropriations bill even though you have been losing your mind about paying for refugee funding while you discovered all the Somalia fraud.

And the DHS appropriations bill funds all of Homeland Security including ICE.

Now you have watched a shooting video probably over 30 times trying to figure out what happened, while a near civil war is being fueled in MN.

But look past the hype and focus in on the granular details.

The DHS bill funds both ICE and Refugee Programs.

The DHS bill funds doubling H2B visas and deportations at the same time.

Do you see how the Uniparty in Washington funds both sides and then gas lights you and drives you to hate each other?

It is all manufactured to drive your outrage and that is how they make money.

When the American People stop being baited into fighting each other, the American People will defeat the Political Industrial Complex that divides us all and can work to truly put Americans First.

[Kevin Bass @kevinnbass]

23% of all ICE arrests occur in Texas

2.2% occur in Minnesota

A 10-fold difference

Yet far more ICE-related violence is happening in Minnesota

Why? Because Democrats are promoting and provoking violence in Minnesota

Democrats do not hate violence

Violence is their goal
