Since August, there are officially more arriving each month than there are children being born to American mothers.

And these are just the official encounters -- we don't know how many avoided detection.

JUST IN: The New York City woman who was getting mugged by a homeless man before being saved by a man with a gun, says the gun scared her and she wishes he didn't use it.

He should have just let her get mugged.

It gets even worse. The woman said she would have seen the man as a "bigger hero" if he helped her without using a gun.

Earlier this week, John Rote jumped into action when he saw a woman getting mugged by a homeless man.

Rote pulled out a gun from his backpack and let off multiple shots to scare away the deranged homeless man, Matthew Roesch.

It worked, however Rote was arrested for using the gun.

Now, the woman involved in the attack says it is "scary to think" that people are carrying guns around New York City and she wishes Rote didn't use the gun.

"Of course, I am happy that that man tried to help me and that nobody was injured during this incident, but it’s scary to think that people are carrying guns around the city. I understand why people do it, they see it as their only means of protection," she said to the New York Post.

"In this case the man risked a lot to protect me, his safety, and the safety of other people on the platform. Yes, I do think he is a hero, but I don’t know, I would likely think him a bigger hero if he tried to help me without the gun. In my eyes, the gun is a little extreme."

What a clown.

10 thoughts on incentives:

1. Don't ask your barber if you need a haircut.

2. "I can fix the $32 trillion US debt problem in 5 minutes. You pass a law that when there’s a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members congress are ineligible for re-election” - Warren Buffett

3. 33% of British criminals were dying en route to Australia in the 1700s.

Britain switched from paying sea captains for every passenger who walked on the ship to paying them for every passenger who walked off.

Immediately, the survival rate shot up to 99%.

4. “Never attribute to conspiracy what is more easily explained by incentives and incompetence.” - @naval

5. “If you reward profits alone, it’s the dumbest thing you could do. Employees will quit advertising and start shrinking the business” - Buffett

6. If video games teach us one thing: If you want to motivate humans, frequent rewards are more addicting than one-off rewards.

7. “I think I've been in the top 5% of my age cohort all my life in understanding the power of incentives, and all my life I've underestimated it. And never a year passes but I get some surprise that pushes my limit a little farther." - Munger

8. If the person tells you why their city, relationship, or job is great - take it with a pinch of salt.

If they tell you why it's terrible - take it like a handful of gold.

If someone swims upstream against their identity or incentives, it probably holds some deep truth to it.

9. "Incentives are like magnets. An invisible but powerful pull." - @awilkinson

10. Skinner's Law:

If procrastinating, 2 ways to solve it:

Option 1 - Make the pain of inaction > Pain of action

Option 2 - Make the pleasure of action > Pleasure of inaction

The person with a gun to their head or crack cocaine at the finish line doesn't need motivation.

-Guy gets raided by Feds over J6

-Feds call Liberty Safe and they send them a passcode to get into his safe (without being legally required to)

-Liberty Safe gets destroyed online when it comes out that they have back doors to their customers safes

-Liberty Safe feels the backlash and immediately changes their company policies

We still don’t trust them. They only did it to avoid bankruptcy.

When the FBI demanded Apple develop and provide them a backdoor into the iPhone security lock, Apple refused and forced the Feds to sue. The Feds lost. Apple stood up for privacy.

X/Twitter did the same when the Feds demanded access to Trump’s account. The courts ruled against Twitter in that case and fined them.

Liberty Safe did not have to immediately comply—they should’ve taken it to court.
