Any time your economic policy forces you to punish people for taking predictable, rational, legal actions in their own economic interest, you should reconsider whether you're trying to control something the government can't actually control.

“Citizens should collectively dictate what hiring decisions employers are permitted to make” is a socialist principle, not a libertarian one.

Every Woke movement is this way. It's angry mediocre people who seek power by being willing to bully people and act like psychopathic trash who read some crackpot theories no one cares about as a cover story so they can sound like it's all smart and sophisticated.

Good news: Housing prices are coming down.

Bad news: Housing prices are coming down.

Probably THE best known East Coast Pallywood (now literally) activist was just a white lady.

Shocked?

What a wonderful troll. Singing the banned Hong Kong protest anthem just after the sentencing of Joshua Wong. I don’t always agree with the Trump Administration’s China policy, but sometimes they have an absolute gem.

We are witnessing the crowd out effect of budget deficits in real time.

This is why fiscal hawks have been so worried for so long. U.S. government borrowing substracts from private lending and thus reduces growth and real incones.

Not the seriousness of the idea. The idea has been desperately tried by every desperately poor country, desperately trying to stave off the consequences of their desperate, impoverishing policies

Their *consideration* is serious!

It’s a matter of first principles that business owners should have the right to freely hire employees who agree to work for them.

Alternately we could simply make a better biz environment with lower taxes and less spending instead of the government telling the private sector what it can or can’t do in response to environments the government creates.

No, Hamas…everyone hates you. Bitching about the imaginary “RW algo” is pathetic cope. You exist in a bubble of dysgenic commie turbofreaks. Democrats and Republicans think you’re trash. Even your habibi Abdul is distancing from you.

It’s not cool to hate America any more.

[Rahm Emanuel @RahmEmanuel]

Washington needs a good power washing top to bottom. Five things I would do today to end corruption in Washington across all three branches of government:

1. Ban all stock trading.
2. Ban all participation in prediction markets.
3. Mandatory retirement at 75 years old.
4. Mandatory blind trust for individuals with a net worth more than $1 million.
5. Ban all foreign gifts to public officials, including foreign investments in their businesses or other entities.

"I could not have given him an easier layup."

University of Michigan student Iman Dashti joins @WillCainShow after confronting Abdul El-Sayed with a direct question: "I wanted to ask if you stand unequivocally against the IRGC?"

But El-Sayed dodged answering his question.

Dashti says he wanted a clear condemnation, telling Will Cain: "Just say you're against the world's largest sponsor of terror."

"I think it has something to do with the fact that a lot of his supporters are very supportive of the IRGC. They love the Iranian regime and he doesn't want to alienate them."

"He has an extreme base that just agrees with these horrible, horrible ideas that the majority of Americans don't believe in."

With all due respect, Mr Vice-President @JDVance, businesses must be free to hire and fire as they need, subject to the demands of the rule of law. Absent that freedom, the dynamism and prosperity that creates jobs in the first place will soon disappear.
