“If California ever becomes a prosperous country, this bay will be the centre of its prosperity. The abundance of wood and water, the extreme fertility of its shores, the excellence of its climate, which is as near to being perfect as any in the world, and its facilities for navigation, affording the best anchoring-grounds in the whole western coast of America, all fit it for a place of great importance.”

I’m not scared. I think you guys will fail because your ideas are stupid and very, very, old and will fail wherever put into practice. Price controls are older than Christianity, for instance. Your Mao schtick is moronic and takes advantage of your fans’ ignorance. I think you’re a cosplaying radical kid of privilege and apologist for murderers and terrorists. But you’re not scary dude. You’re a poseur. I think it’s hilarious you streamed my comments to your easily duped fans.

@Amy_Siskind @kurtbardella Are you suggesting they should have lowered the fed funds rate? Or raised it?

These people campaign on "the total eradication of Western civilization" and then cry about being called radicals.

It's so heartwarming to see people from oppressed, downtrodden developing countries experience America for the first time. Hope they can move here and join us!

People used to be embarrassed to admit that they found everyday tasks too overwhelming to handle, now it's an identity

This is the ultimate midwit healthcare take.

No, 32 countries have not “figured out” universal healthcare.

The UK has “free” healthcare, and roughly 1 in 3 cancer patients in England still fail to start treatment within 62 days of urgent referral.

Canada has “free” healthcare, and the median wait for neurosurgical treatment is around a year.

Australia has “free” healthcare, and over half the country still buys private insurance despite paying for a public universal system with their taxes.

Switzerland has universal coverage, because residents are required to buy private insurance. There is no government system where benevolent bureaucrats tuck you in at night with a warm blanket and an MRI appointment.

The actual lesson from other wealthy countries is not “they figured it out.”

America’s system has huge problems. Our prices are insane, insurance markets are distorted, and hospital systems are cartelized. Our regulations make care more expensive than it needs to be.

Yet we still guarantee access to even the 8% who don’t have coverage. We give easy routes to qualify for medicaid for those with disabilities.

Pretending the rest of the world solved healthcare because they slapped the word “universal” on a rationing scheme is not analysis.

It is bumper sticker policy for people who think access means having a card in your wallet while you wait a year to see the doctor you need.

Dan Hurley’s full reaction to the Braylon Mullins game winner:

He gets in the refs face and damn near headbutts him with .3 seconds left, only up 1 point, and dares him to give him a tech 😭

THIS MAN IS INSANE 😂🤣

They had a live debate over whether to condemn a mass shooting attack on a nursery school?

Alas, the 2017-2020 Democratic fantasyland economics are back.
1) Wealth taxes are a gimmick - unworkable and unconstitutional. See Europe.
2) There is no way it raises $4.4 trillion. Billionaires didn't become billionaires without having a team of expert financial and tax planners to avoid a mega tax like this.
3) Even if we could raise $4.4 trillion over the decade, it is insane to plow it all into new spending with the federal debt set to leap from $30 trillion to $64 trillion. Pay for our current commitments before piling on expensive new ones.
4) Stimulus? Really? With unemployment at 4.3% and inflation rising? Have we learned nothing over the past 5 years?

If you want to tax the rich, fine. There are real and serious proposals out there (I've proposed some!). But big wealth taxes are a gimmick. Social media bait to help far left lawmakers look tough on billionaires without actually doing anything workable. Totally unserious.
