I am watching the left propose increasingly bad (rent freeze, minimum wage hikes, huge tax increases) proposals that will wreck the economy.

This is driven by anger from young voters, who are priced out of housing, can't get jobs, and feel like the system is rigged against them.

And you know what? They are right. It is.

What I'm not seeing is any politician, Democrat or Republican, courageous enough to point out the real issue:

Boomers voted themselves huge future benefits but did not fund them, so now we are running huge deficits to pay for them while talking about raising taxes on people who weren't even born yet when those things were decided to pay the olds.

The reality is this: young people in the US, to save yourselves, you're going to have to tear down the programs for the Boomers, rationalize immigration laws to ensure you get first look at American jobs and companies have the incentive to put them here, force housing to be built, and massively cut federal (and in many cases, state) spending and the size of the government.

Any politician who is not willing to tell you the truth about this is fucking you. Trump? Fucking you. Mamdani? Also fucking you.

If you can't figure this out, things will get worse from here.

If your car can be shut off without due process, it’s not your car.

If your car spies on you against your wish for privacy, it’s not your car.

If the title is tokenized and can’t be sold without the AI approval, it’s not your car.

This is property confiscation on the road to owning nothing and being happy.

@NapoleonBonabot As a young man, Washington wanted more than anything to be commissioned in the British army, if he had been, we might all be British.

@KurtSchlichter “NATO as a US force-projection tool” I’ve never read a better definition of it. Been that since 1947.

@OrdnancePackard An enormous army which has scarcely fired a shot in combat since 1953.
