i’d argue you’re too easily moved by the choice words. “privilege” and “equality” are selected because they confuse the notion of fairness. another way to frame his statement “if you’re accustomed to succeeding due to hard work, ingenuity, risk/sacrifice, and, sure, some amount of luck, having the outcomes reset so that everyone is rewarded more equally feels unfair.”

is succeeding after making good choices, sacrificing personally, and working hard really “privilege”?

is it oppressive that everyone doesn’t get to the same place?

perhaps the real oppression is the loss of individual liberties when naively egalitarian philosophies mutate into marxism, denying opportunities for individual sacrifice, effort, and achievement to be rewarded.

framed as privilege v equality misses the mark.. equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are v different things. silicon valley’s most successful are the immigrants who found america as one of the only places on earth where an individual with zero baseline privilege can struggle and sacrifice and effortfully succeed. calling them privileged after the fact seems hardly the point. but an easy one to make.

Thankfully we don’t have more women in positions of power. Things might get too dramatic!

The bad news: More Americans than ever seem to be struggling with their mental health.

The good news: As our new video explains, research suggests most of us are more resilient than we give ourselves credit for.

Here’s a question that needs answering: despite spending twice as much per capita on healthcare as other major countries, our life expectancy is, on average, almost 5 years lower.

Even worse, working class Americans live 5-10 years shorter lives than the wealthy.

Why is that? What can we do about it?

Tens of millions of small- and medium-sized businesses face the looming threat to file "Beneficial Ownership Information Reports" with the federal government by Jan 1, 2025, or face up to $10,000 in fines or 2 years in prison. Yes, the rule has been temporarily stayed for now by a Texas court, but that could change any time so small business owners can’t really rely on it. Compliance with this rule takes up to 11 hours for the 32 million impacted businesses. Nationwide, that is the equivalent of 510 lifetimes. Small businesses should focus on their own success, not keeping government bureaucrats busy with intrusive data & paperwork.

An excellent, and sober piece from @VPrasadMDMPH in @TheFP:

A Simple Litmus Test for RFK Jr.’s Ideas

The media describes the new HHS chief as a conspiracy theorist. But how many of his ideas are actually used in Europe? More than you’d think.

This is hilarious.. @instagram has taken down my congratulations pic/msg to @realDonaldTrump on the grounds that it’s ’hate speech.’

[Bethany Schutte @bethanyschutte]

@BTravs Yeah, I'd pay more... I'll be honest.

I am so thankful for @RobertKennedyJr reposting my debate video. I have called out today's Democratic Party is the party of censorship, not classical liberal at all.

Biden Admin. even put @TulsiGabbard on TSA terrorists watch list because she dared to speak the truth. Many Dems don't know because the legacy media won't report it.

Feds also are going after @elonmusk because he won't bend to censor speech. Terrifying.

Who is acting like real "dictator" in America?

[Konstantin Kisin @KonstantinKisin]

As a visitor to America, I have had to show ID when:

- going to a bar
- going to a recording studio
- going to someone's office
- checking into a hotel
- renting a car

The idea that asking people to show ID to vote is controversial is just silly.
