Another total victory for the dip buyers. Bears in shambles. This is America. Stocks go up in this country.

During World War II, Hitler was convinced that Americans lacked the will to fight and that any who did would be quickly overwhelmed.

When early reports arrived from the battles in North Africa, German observers noted that Americans fought differently from the Europeans.

Rather than charging aggressively and risking heavy infantry casualties, U.S. forces relied on overwhelming firepower—staying at a distance and expending vast quantities of artillery with little hesitation. Thanks to unmatched industrial production and logistics, fresh supplies were always available.

This approach allowed relatively smaller American units to wear down much larger and well-entrenched enemy forces.

In contrast, German and other European doctrines often emphasized aggressive maneuver and were sometimes more willing to accept high casualties to achieve objectives or preserve key equipment.

This material-heavy American style surprised many Germans, including Hitler, who had long dismissed U.S. soldiers as soft and lacking in fighting spirit. He believed soldiers were cheap and expendable; he discovered too late that Americans fought to conserve lives by expending machines and ammunition instead.

It was one of many reasons for Germany’s defeat—perhaps the hardest for some foreigners to fully understand.

Americans place a high value on the lives of our soldiers. Equipment and shells could always be replaced.

I'm gonna say it now: @rookisaacman for president. That is all.

It’s interesting to read critiques of the Moon base proposal, which seems like the smart path forward and could fit within NASA’s budget. The gist I’m hearing from critics is that this Isaacman priority is happy talk, will all fade away, and not happen. Then you realize these were the same people who:

- Said Isaacman wouldn’t be renominated
- Said he would was a political amateur
- Said he couldn’t build a coalition to cancel EUS and put SLS on a path toward sunset
-Said he was an Elon puppet (who has subsequently prioritized getting Blue Origin moving on HLS due to Starship delays)
- Said he would never get Congress, which called it a “national priority,” to go along with canceling Gateway
- Said he would never actually cancel Gateway

These people are now saying Isaacman can’t get NASA and its contractors to execute on a plan that has administration and Congressional support. The reality is, from a policy and political standpoint, NASA is in a better place now than it has been for years. If the Moon Base fails that’s on NASA and private industry, not stupid policy. And believe me, I’ve seen a lot of terrible, pie-in-the-sky space policy over the decades. #JourneyToMars

It’s a new era. I’m not sure everyone realizes this, but Isaacman and his team have eyes wide open to a lot of the major challenges facing NASA and they’re trying to fix them. They’re working long days. Weekends. It’s inspiring to see our government work like this, especially in an era when so much seems broken. I don’t know what will happen. Maybe this Moon base all will fade away. But I do know that NASA’s chance for success in the next couple of decades is a lot higher today than it has been for a long, long time. What we were doing was decidedly not working. This has a chance.

The low-hanging fruit in education is embarrassingly simple: more reading. If we could get a significantly higher percentage of kids to spend 2-3 hours a day reading from ages 7-8 into their teens, most would develop a more solid foundation for high school than do the bored, inattentive kids in lessons that most don't find engaging.

@TrumpAccounts Can I choose which financial institution will manage the account, or transfer to a different one after activation?

Everything should be free: horrible, terrible idea, entails lots of suffering for all of us.

Everything should be cheap: wonderful, great idea, entails broad human flourishing.

@wmorrill3 Looks like a much better offering compared to the previous lower priced Cybertruck (RWD)! What kind of cost improvements did you make to be able to hit this price point while keeping all those features?

[Andrew Côté @Andercot]

Humanity was never born to be in a cage, yet in the absence of a true frontier we have turned on each other. We are at each others throats. There is no new land, no new blue ocean opportunity. The making of any new market can only be done with the destruction of the past, defended to the death by its incumbents, the glacial pace of societal change metered by an ever increasing and perhaps indefinite lifespan.

Do we want to forever renegotiate disputes and injustices of the past, forever carving up our territories, states, provinces, dividing our lands, our people, our selves from one another?

We need to expand our horizons, to search for new frontiers, inspirational challenges met with courage that demand our best and brightest minds push back the veil of unknown. We need miracles of science and technology taken from imagination to reality in less than a generation, the thrill of knowing you are surfing a tidal wave of civilizational victories stacking one on top of another. To know without a doubt: that this is the best time to be alive, this is an age of heroes, of mighty quests, titanic struggles, legendary victories.

We must become giants in our own time that others may stand on our shoulders, like we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us.

The only threat to tyranny is a free and prosperous people united in a common cause for the benefit of all mankind, and so the tactics of the tyrannical are always to sow dissent, division, hatred, fear, confusion, outrage, and reduce us to our barbaric selves who can be controlled.

There is no greater authority in existence than the divine mandate that every person has the right to determine for themselves their path in life, and there is no force in existence that can stop humanity from claiming its destiny. This right of self-determination is not just for the individual, but for every family, community, city, tribe, nation. That the right of self-determination extends to all of civilization. All of humanity.

There is no one coming to save us from ourselves, to extend a ladder from the heavens for us to climb up and join their ranks among the stars. This is the test. This is the filter. Can you overcome your animal selves and unite for a common dream?

This is our destiny.

Not to fight and bicker in the mud, but sail the wine dark seas of space, and breathe life into new worlds.

[david friedberg @friedberg]

why not just raise income tax rates?

because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”.

you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from citizens.

you’re calling it a “wealth tax” or a “billionaires tax” or “millionaires tax” or whatever nom du jour polls well. but at the end of the day, it’s the seizure of private property from citizens by the government. citizens that earned money, paid their fair taxes on those earnings (53% if they live in California) and are now being told they need to hand over after-tax assets because the government has failed to provide promised services with the revenue it’s collected, and are now re-casting their own failure to be a socio-economic inequity that must be justly resolved... a slippery slope that has never gone anywhere good (see economic effects in USSR, Cuba, Venezuela, France and Norway wealth tax etc.)

the American founders fled tyranny in Europe and this amazing nation was populated by immigrants (myself and your parents) from around the world not just looking for a “better life” but for a place where they could have freedom from tyrannical governments that can take what they want from private citizens. a great nation borne of property rights, the rule of law, and endowed freedoms to believe, speak, or act. these principles led to the greatest run of innovations, successes, and widespread increase in prosperity, for all citizens, ever seen.

the citizens, the individuals, not the institutions, delivered this progress. those who invented, who toiled, who bled, who sacrificed, who took risk and persevered, who led, and who changed the world, are not charlatans, kleptocrats, or oligarchs. they’re what made us all better off. prosperity is a measure of america’s success, not its failure.

it is your principle that is so offensive, as evidenced by the broad disdain for your flippant flirtation with the darkest of human fantasy - socialism. you and other neo-socialists have led so many of us to reflect on America’s history and what it is becoming. that now leads so many to consider, so unnecessarily, leaving their homes for a place where everyone stands up to shout down the principle you suggest. because if your ideas are now considered moderate, it’s clear this titanic is sinking.

that a “simple tax” of taking assets that have been earned, through toil and tribulation, rightly taxed, and preserved, should now be unjustly seized, is your solution to a problem of obvious government mismanagement and outright fraud, tells us that your true motivation lies not in giving people healthcare but in cutting down success and deleting the system of prosperity and opportunity for all.

i don’t care, and neither should anyone else, what the sum total market value of a private citizens private assets might be. it is none of my business and should be none of yours. because, again, once you open that pandora’s box, we might as well study Lord of the Flies … there is literally nothing stopping 51% of citizens demanding that their government go out and seize 100% of the private property of the 49%.

want to give healthcare to people in need? do your job and fix healthcare. make it affordable. want to be lazy about it? then do your job lazily and raise income taxes.

want to take private property from private citizens who have paid their fair share of taxes and legally earned their property, then honestly declare that it is envy, not inequity, that you strive to resolve…
