@JonathanTurley Supply and demand is undefeated. If you can’t lower rents by encouraging less restrictive zoning and more construction, you can always lower rents by getting a lot of people to leave!

Landlords will require more prospective tenants to use institutional guarantors. Those guarantors are not prohibited from running credit checks. But of course they charge a hefty fee. So Mamdani’s initiative will serve only to increase the cost of housing for poorer people. Well done Zohran!

Karoline Leavitt will be back behind the podium at the White House today, which means she took a shorter maternity leave than Mayor Pete. 😂

Democrats went from “Believe all women”

to

“Depends on what you define as ‘rape’, really”

in record time.

Let's not lose our grip on the facts - instead of recriminations and accusations - just the facts.

1) Congressman @RoKhanna was offered to coordinate his visit with the State of Israel - this goes beyond notifying of his presence in the country. He was offered in-depth coordination of his schedule to avoid misunderstandings, and he chose to ignore that offer.
He also chose not to coordinate his visit with the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem.

2) He chose to conduct his visit accompanied by Palestinian activists, and, for some reason, @nytimes journalists with cameras at the ready. With him was also a person affiliated with @jstreet, an organization that actively lobbies against the government of Israel on Capitol Hill.

3) Mr. Khanna and his entourage entered what was believed to be a closed military zone without permission. The military had no prior knowledge of him going there, due to his refusal to coordinate with them. The vehicle they stopped was unknown to them and therefore provoked suspicion. The moment details of the Congressman's identity were cleared, he was free to go. At no point was the congressman, or any member of his party, threatened by the soldiers, or civilians bearing arms.

4) To add insult to injury - the Congressman used this instance as an opportunity to tout "genocide" and "apartheid" libels to the press, propelling himself to the center of yet another anti-Israel media frenzy.
The facts don't lie - this was a cheap, anticipated provocation, that could, and should have been avoided.

5) Calling me a liar won’t change the facts. I’d be happy to host Congressman Khanna at our embassy for an in-depth conversation on his grievances regarding Israel.

The socialist regards society much as a child regards supper: he notices with great precision who received the largest slice, while remaining curiously uninterested in who rose at dawn to bake the thing.

Socialists always imagine themselves at the table, never in the kitchen.

Mr. Sanders appears to believe that if enough people desire another man's property, the desire itself ripens into a right. This is a curious doctrine, for it would imply that theft ceases to be theft once it becomes sufficiently popular.

The founders, being old-fashioned men, held the opposite view. They supposed that rights existed specifically to protect the minority from the appetites of the majority.

If 69% support taking a 50% ownership stake in AI companies, would 69% also be justified in taking 50% of farms, newspapers, bookstores, or Bernie Sanders' own royalties?

If not, then popularity is not the principle. Envy is.

She posted constantly about how her 3rd world Muslim boyfriend wasn't at all like the stereotypes. Turns out he was a scammer who drained her for all she was worth, then brutally murdered her after an argument. He then fled back to the nation he said he needed asylum from

@michaeljburry @grok why?

1/5 of the world population is Indian, yet 0 NBA players are Indian. We need to reevaluate the league standards immediately, as it's too merit based

@JohnnyThMonkey @VJNCapital Maybe. But that’s the level of analysis and conviction you need to build a portfolio of only 14 stocks that are “cheap” by the metrics.

[Barapasaurus @Barapasaurus]

It’s never so easy. Stocks also get cheaper when their business prospects deteriorate. Is Uber cheap, or are robotaxis going to kill it? Netflix started as a monopoly in streaming; they have more and more competitors every day, even as people spend more and more time on YouTube and TikTok. Can Microsoft thrive in an AI world? I’m not saying these companies are or aren’t good purchases now. I am saying it’s about more than than readily available easily scrapable data anyone can create automated charts with. Warren Buffet didn’t buy every cheap company, he bought the right cheap companies. Buying every cheap company can also work, but that means buying hundreds of stocks, not 14.

How come everyone forces introverts to leave their comfort zone for a while but no one forces extroverts to shut the fuck up for a while

@MikeFritzell All those call centers will be gone. Risk of political instability. Probably not cheap enough.

@ThierryBorgeat Notable: The current period is the shortest of the good periods and has the lowest return. Implication: The melt-up is yet to come.

@choffstein Spend less than 4% each year and don’t have all of your eggs in one basket.

If that’s not enough spending money, economize!!!
