During the Cuban Revolution, gay men were rounded up by the state & sent to forced labour camps because their sexuality was deemed incompatible with the revolutionary ideal.

Within two years of the Cuban Revolution, the socialist regime had executed around 2000 people.

How could anyone who knows anything about the Cuban Revolution fail to wish for its demise?

Robert Nozick explains socialism's attraction to intellectuals: they don't care about the "working class". Rather, they resent capitalists for earning more money than them, despite their apparently inferior merit. They're disappointed meritocrats, not suffering laborers.

It wasn’t Thatcherism that did for manufacturing industries. It was nationalisation. And then carbon taxes.

Thatcher (1979-1990) and privatisation (1989) ruined British electricity!

Cool story, Andy.

But...

You're an idiot.

In 1995, Britain did something remarkable.

We delivered the Sizewell B nuclear power station after just seven years, at about 35% of the projected construction cost for Hinkley Point C.

In our new report today, @ukonward explain how we can learn the lessons of Sizewell B to deliver a new fleet of nuclear power stations.

Great video from Andrew Neil as he likens Labour’s conference to the Titanic - complacently steaming towards a rendezvous with reality.

Thatcherism heralded the most successful post-war period we’ve ever had.

Burnham hates it but the reality is we’ve become a failed State because we’ve moved away from it to embrace the things he loves and wants more of.

Noble to update one's beliefs like this. Thank you, Justin Wolfers.

Still waiting on many people (it wasn't just MMTers) to mea culpa on "interest rates will stay low forever," "deficits don't matter," from ~2019.

[B🇨🇲 @CityDoctrine]

“Financial Fair Play” was never really about making football fair. It was about protecting those already at the top.

As Kieran Maguire points out, clubs that spend the most on wages and transfers tend to finish in the top three. So when City arrived with the financial backing to challenge that established hierarchy, suddenly the rules became a matter of existential importance.

City didn’t create football’s financial inequality they challenged who was allowed to benefit from it.

That’s why the real question isn’t simply whether City broke the rules. It’s whether the rules are genuinely about fairness, or about protecting the old order from being disrupted.

This year inflation in Argentina will fall below 30%.

Next year 2027, it will fall below 20%.

By 2028 it will be fully over and controlled under 10% as long as Milei wins the election next year.

And, over the dead body of our entire energy policy, environmental, industrial policy, strategic planning, security, and economic policy bureaucracy. Thank goodness for remaining property rights that they couldn't stop it, at least in some states. Can we learn a lesson?
