@asmartbear Spot on Jason. He will be missed.

Being 37 years old and sharing a checking account with your mom is super weird for any adult man that age, but doing that while running for the senate is disqualifying. You can’t even manage your own finances and you want to manage the government’s? No way.

So crushed to hear this. Josh was a dynamo and such a positive thinker. He invested in and supported Movable Ink from its earliest days and I was proud to recently invest back in him. Such a loss.

[Chad Farrell @cfar]

@statesman Josh was a great person and leader. He will be missed.

Biggest ipo of all time, stocks soaring, fuel dropping, war over, deportation all time highs, legal immigration gutted, foreigners fleeing the country, fights on the whitehouse lawn. Imagine insisting on negativity right now (I can’t) it is quite literally white boy summer.

Our room for the coming days in Houston. I don’t even know what to say about this. This is just unreal. No words.

Huge huge thank you to JJ Watt for giving me and my friends the opportunity to stay at a place like this🙏🙏🙏

A couple of Germans on a road trip have done more to inspire patriotism ahead of America’s 250th anniversary than the entirety of the U.S. government.

I'm with the trillionaires here, all the way.

Democracy is literally dying in America unless Democrats can draw congressional districts based on race, count illegal aliens in the census, and end requirements to show an ID to vote.

[The Rational Animal 🤔 @theobjectivist]

The average American today lives better than John D. Rockefeller did in 1926. That is not an exaggeration. It is a fact.

Rockefeller could not fly across the country in five hours. You can for $200. He could not video call his family from another continent. You do it for free. He had no antibiotics, no MRI, no air conditioning in July. He could not carry every book ever written in his pocket. You are reading this on a device that does all of that and more.

Americans throw away 30-40% of their food. Not because they are wasteful, but because food is so abundant that waste is affordable. Your car has climate control, navigation, and safety systems that did not exist at any price a century ago. Your home has heating, cooling, refrigeration, and entertainment that emperors could not have imagined.

None of this was voted into existence. None of it was redistributed from the rich. It was created by free minds operating in what remains of a free market. Every comfort you enjoy today is the product of a man who thought, invented, produced, and traded voluntarily.

This is what the remnants of capitalism still deliver, even while it is being dismantled. Imagine what a fully free society could build.

Talarico, 2022: Reducing meat consumption is a moral imperative and existential to save the planet.

Talarico Campaign Response: Look at our guy immorally wolfing down all that meat while k*lling the planet.

This is representative of what the entire campaign will be: Attempting to construct an image that is at odds with the his past positions and rhetoric.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣

"I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home."

"I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything."

"There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

Many people, even self-described conservatives, think socialism would work if human nature were different.

No. Socialism cannot work, even in a hypothetical society of selfless genius saints.

Why not?

Because socialism centralizes economic choices. How much lumber do we produce? How much wheat? What should the hourly wage of a garbage collector be? How much should insulin cost? How about bread?

Socialists think that if you elect the right people, they will make these decisions intelligently and altruistically, and everything will be great.

But it doesn't matter how smart and benevolent you are... you can't make a good decision without the right information. The Socialist Central Planning Committee, however wise or benevolent, doesn't know what's wanted, or what's available, because that information is conveyed in prices, and accurate pricing is the very thing that socialist governments wipe away with the bureaucratic pen.

Capitalist networks are decentralized. They distribute decision making to where the information is.

A man selling metal doesn't know anything about desks, or lumber. He doesn't know how many desks people want, or whether they should be made out of oak, or folded metal.

But he does know how much it costs him to smelt iron ore into steel, and roll it into sheets. So he sets a price, and others decide whether, and how much, to buy.

That price contains the information others need to decide whether steel is plentiful, and should be folded into anything you can make out of sheet metal, or is scarce, and should be saved for things that can only be done with steel, and furniture should be made out of oak, or pine, instead.

Socialism works, or rather doesn't, by using the threat of force to set the prices of things, or take money from one person and give it to another.

But every time this happens, critical data on supply or demand is erased... data that you need to make decisions.

Individual prices are a decision, a guess at where supply and demand cross paths. But since free markets reward those who guess correctly, or copy a correct guess, aggregate prices are data on supply and demand.

For a socialist central planning committee to order the manufacture of the correct number of cars, or to correctly set the price of a car, they need to know a thousand thousand thousand things about steel and aluminium, welders and assembly robots, rubber and glass and lithium batteries and copper wire, which they must gather, along with trillions of other pieces of data, from literally everyone in their entire civilization.

Tesla only needs to know how much people charge them for the stuff they need.

At every transaction in a captialist society, vital data is compressed into its most compact and useful form, then passed along to the adjacent step, where abundant brainpower is waiting to make decisions with it.

Any defective node in the web that fails to make good decisions receives swift and automatic feedback, and either heeds that feedback or goes out of business, to be replaced by someone who will.

Yes, in a capitalist system, there are many undesirable results. But capitalism doesn't create these results. It discovers them. They are inevitable consequences of the state of technology, and will persist until something is invented that changes the terrain.

In socialism, no such solution is possible, because all the inherent problems you need to solve with progress are hidden from view by the far worse problems you created for yourself by separating the place where decisions are made from the place where information is known.

[Bill Ackman @BillAckman]

So let me get this straight. You support the Khamanei regime that killed 38,000+ protesters and maimed hundreds of thousands more. A regime that has repeatedly called for Death to America and has killed thousands of our servicemen and citizens. One that has taken away women’s rights and freedoms for the Iranian people.

And then you call our efforts to destroy the evildoers a catastrophic escalation.

You also support those who attack our police force. You take the side of the criminals rather than the victims of violent actors in our city.

How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil?

Why is this so hard for you?

[Arthur MacWaters @ArthurMacwaters]

this is civilizational suicide:

1. 37% of illegal immigrants have a criminal conviction since coming to the US

2. there are 30m+ illegal immigrants, so this means 10m+ have committed *additional* crimes here

3. no sane society can allow this, and the public overwhelmingly supports (74%) deporting them

when people are rioting against ICE, not only are they protecting these criminals, they are subverting the clear will of the vast majority of their neighbors

these are such insanely large crime numbers that the average person totally underestimates how bad the problem is

[Rock Chartrand @RockChartrand]

Socialism is the fantasy that you can live off producers while simultaneously waging war on production itself.

It openly concedes that producers are necessary yet treats them as morally illegitimate.

Their success is framed as exploitation, their independence as a threat, and their productivity as something to be seized, regulated, or punished rather than respected.

This is the core contradiction at the heart of socialism: it admits the producer is essential while denying the producer the right to exist as an end in himself. He is reduced to a means, a resource to be managed for others, not a human being with a moral claim to the product of his own effort.

That is why socialism fails long before the economic consequences arrive. The collapse begins at the moral level.

Once production is treated as a sin and independence as a crime, destruction isn’t an accident. It’s the logical outcome.
