Productivity gives us wealth. Redistribution gives us more universal wealth. But taxes are a very poor way to redistribute wealth. So, these should be used only for universal investment costs like security, education, emergency, and for handicapped. Small state - as it is inefficient outside the above areas.
Main redistribution effort should be concentrated in laws regulating economic relations between people.
If we allow the state to redistribute, we end in socialist hell governed by incompetent tyrans. See communist countries, or fall of Europe.
🚨 HOLY SMOKES. ICE has just announced a jaw-dropping fraud bust, saying 10,000 FOREIGN students are involved in the federal government's Optional Practical Training
There are EMPTY BUILDINGS where HUNDREDS of students should be "working" as part of their ability to be in America — run by foreign-linked groups that send money out of the country!
Locked doors, hundreds of students sharing the SAME ADDRESS, and "employers" sharing the same unleased addresses
There is a widespread "phantom employee" fraud going on. This is insane.
Many of the so-called "employers" have major red flags, such as facing lawsuits, no employment records, offshore payroll claims, and suspicious INTERNATIONAL MONEY flows
"HSI agents have visited problematic OPT employer work sites in Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Florida."
"Foreign students themselves are entering false addresses and employer names into the student and exchange visitor information system."
"But we are uncovering evidence of organized fraud that spans national and international borders. This is not accidental. It is deliberate, coordinated, and criminal."
"To give you an example, one employer we visited claimed to employ only three foreign students through OPT, while our records show over 500 foreign students claiming to work there."
"The company's representatives were unable to answer basic questions about the business and deferred HR managers in India."
"OPT employers are required to directly train foreign students, but we've seen multiple examples of alleged employers claiming that all management is overseas in India."
"We've also discovered multiple state networks which are large networks of alleged employers claiming to train thousands of foreign students in OPT, then farming them out to unreported third party employers, making oversight nearly impossible and raising serious national security issues."
The claim that “hijab is a choice” seems to apply only when the choice is to wear it.
Islamists always say, “Hijab is a choice”—until a woman chooses to take it off. Then suddenly, it’s treated like a crime.
I hate to say this but please hear me out. For decades, I have made a daily Herculean effort to warn people about the dangers facing the West. My goal was to ensure that any auto-corrective process meant to address the problems would be a peaceful one. I fear that this window has closed. Prepare for astounding violence. It may not come tomorrow, next week, next month, or next year. But it is coming. Save this post.
A final word: the development of PAC-832 was catalyzed by various modern technologies, most notably liquid-handling robotics and large language models / AI agents. All of the in vitro screening was performed by an OpenTrons OT-2 liquid-handling robot programmed by Claude Code. Meanwhile, LLMs (mainly ChatGPT Pro) were deeply integrated into virtually every step of the discovery process - I wouldn’t have been able to complete this project without them. (16/16)
This is legit INSANE. Israel offers 1000s of work permits to provide economic opportunity to Palestinians (whose own gov doesnt)—thousands then massacre Israelis (incl their very employers!) on 10/7 starting a 2-yr war, & the complaint is Israel isn’t giving them jobs??
Natomiast jak już patrzeć na takie rozmyte statystyki to porównanie liczby gwałtów jest sensowne. Na przestrzeni ostatnich 20 lat w Polsce liczba ta waha się na podobnym poziomie. Natomiast w UK wzrosła 20x. To jest różnica, której pewne różnice metodologiczne nie zniwelują znacząco.
Dodać należy jeszcze aferę pakistańską gdzie liczba potencjalnych i ukrywanych ofiar sięga ćwierć miliona, to będziemy mówić o wzroście 30-40x.
Ukraińców w Polsce to nie dotyczy, ale pokazuje, że prawica często ma rację.
To jest g... analiza. Liczby są małe, więc może być przypadek, odmienne prawodawstwo, inne przestępstwa, inne procedury, inny sposób raportowania, etc. Z podanych danych dokładnie nic nie wynika. Szczególnie, że dane brytyjskie są szczególnie krzywe. Do więzień trafiają nieproporcjonalnie często biali, a dodatkowo siedzi kilka tysięcy więźniów politycznych. A Polscy są biali i jeszcze obcokrajowcy. Patrz Henry Nowak i działania policji.
Sytuacja Ukraińców w Polsce ma pewnie swoje podobne niuanse.
Więc pana post świadczy o poważnej pańskiej nierzetelności intelektualnej, albo zakłamaniu, albo ma pan inne zaburzenie psychiczne w stylu TDS.
Amazing V14.3.4 clip that @jtesla47 just sent me and asked me to share from his M3P.
What I love most about this clip is that FSD understands what needs to happen and reacts BEFORE the lead car even throws it in reverse. This is such a critical indicator that FSD isn’t just reacting to objects in its path, but actually understands what happens next before it even needs to start backing up to clear the dodge ram.
This is one of my favorite edge cases in a minute.
FSD IS THE TRUTH
@TRobinsonNewEra The officer cut him off after he'd been read his rights
He was preventing him from saying stupid shit that the officer knew he'd start saying
First time I've ever seen a cop try to prevent evidence gathering
Interesting...
Newly released police bodycam footage from just after the murder of Henry Nowak.
Digwa: “But I’ve been racially attacked.”
The officer: “I know, mate, I know,” and adds: “I’m not saying you’ve done anything, mate.”
Digwa moans about being tired and police lights hurting his eyes.
He was never handcuffed, Nowak was as he died.
The New York Times accidentally told the truth when it cried that the Supreme Court is “unshackling the presidency.”
Unshackling.
Interesting word.
Because that means they know the presidency was shackled.
The question is: by whom?
Not the voters.
Not Congress.
Not the Constitution.
No, the “shackles” were the entire unelected anti-Trump containment system: activist judges, permanent bureaucrats, NGO lawyers, blue-state attorneys general, media stenographers, and the rest of the courthouse Resistance industry that decided executive power was legitimate only when Democrats controlled it.
When Obama stretched authority, it was “historic leadership.”
When Biden ignored borders, loans, mandates, and emergency limits, it was “saving democracy.”
But when Trump enforces immigration law, ends “temporary” status that somehow lasted longer than most Hollywood marriages, and tells DHS to do its actual job?
Suddenly the presidency is too powerful.
Suddenly courts must intervene.
Suddenly the Founders apparently intended America to be governed by district judges in Boston, nonprofit asylum mills, and New York Times guest essayists hyperventilating into their oat milk.
That is why they are panicking.
SCOTUS is not creating a dictatorship.
It is exposing the dictatorship of the veto class.
The people who spent years using lawfare to restrain one elected president are now horrified that the Supreme Court may be cutting through their fake restraints.
The “shackles” were never constitutional guardrails.
They were political handcuffs.
And the left loved them because they only snapped shut in one direction.
Now the chains are breaking.
And the same media that cheered every injunction is suddenly terrified that Trump may have turned their lawfare machine into his legal armor.

Any human activity or inactivity brings death to somebody, somewhere. It is a matter of numbers and mind gymnastics.
But you are so keen to spend somebody's money on your delusions. How progressive.
About moral grandstanding - if you promptly don't sell your house, car, all your property, and empty bank accounts to send all your money to the dying kids, you are a genocidal murderer responsible for countless deaths.
Instead of celebrating America’s 250th anniversary, some people are openly cheering for this country to fail. @sagesteele calls it out:
“I think what's most disturbing to me is the hatred and people who blatantly, publicly, and intentionally root for the downfall of America. And listen, that tends to be from one side.”
When you came to Iceland in early June 2025 we had not yet started to see many of the consequences of the 2024 push to bring in people from Gaza (led by a group of women in an empathy rush). Since then, we have had a grooming gang being stopped by coincidence, revealing they had two teenage girls they had drugged in the car, a group of Hamas-connected men made an attempt to kill a person in a parking garage (on trial now, but one escaped to Jordan), another group attacked a 17 year (could have killed him) old because he had the reaction of punching the hood of their car as they drove over his foot, joined by people who came out of a nearby Kebab restaurant to help beat him up. We have gangs of kids from Gaza that are terrorising other children. We do not let our kids out the same way as before. We see pictures of them in expensive cars (how do they get expensive cars? – there was an effort to gather money to pay them out of Gaza) – some pictures with guns. Videos of them browing the horns of their cars to assert dominance. We hear their loud music in the night when they drive by our homes. There was an incident of a person walking a suburb with a machete during an argument (photographed from all angles). They (or other muslims) took over a shed by the airport that taxi drivers had to have coffee and go to the toilet and the denied everyone else entry (people that legally can use it and have used it for years) as they turned it into a place to pray. One woman, who had brought a "refugee" from Gaza and married him has now testified in an interview that he was indeed a violent Hamas member (good for her to admit that she was wrong and testify).
All this is just the tip of the Iceberg and everybody that has eyes and ears sees and hears this. This is just little Iceland in about one year since you came here. Only the ideologically possessed can't see what is going on.
