College football is so back

[James LANKlin @PryKnowsBall]

On the bright side, tonight is the finale of this very dark and depressing decade-long chapter of Virginia Tech football.

A new era is coming. Onward.

Here’s what I think will happen in NYC under Mahdami.

The free buses and government grocery stores won’t happen, they never do. They sound good during campaigns, but collapse under basic math. You can’t run a city on ideas that cost billions and produce no revenue.

The only way to make housing affordable is to build more housing. The free market lowers prices, not regulation. Every time politicians try to control rent or force affordability by decree, developers stop building and landlords stop maintaining. Supply dries up, the quality collapses, and the few properties that remain skyrocket in price.

Once landlords can’t make a profit, they sell, lose properties, or walk away. Eventually, the government takes over.

Taxes will rise to pay for the promises, and the middle class will be the ones shouldering the burden. The rich will relocate, the poor will depend on subsidies, and the productive class will be squeezed from both sides.

Thriving businesses are the foundation of any thriving city. When they leave, everything else follows, jobs, schools, grocery stores, stability. Chicago already proved this. Boeing, McDonald’s, Caterpillar, Citadel, nearly 70k jobs, all gone. Now they’re facing billion-dollar deficits, half empty schools and neighborhoods without grocery stores.

I saw someone who lived in a rent-controlled apartment in California put it perfectly, he said his landlord could no longer afford maintenance so the pool was filled with dirt, the floors had soft spots, and the foundation ended up cracking. That’s what overregulation does, it destroys quality.

People who voted for this will eventually feel the pain but they won’t blame the policies or the politicians, they’ll blame the rich for leaving.

This conversation is always difficult because most people simply don’t understand market dynamics or incentives. In a free society, people act in their own self-interest. If you remove profit and reward dependency, productivity dies and the city with it.

If you think things are expensive now, just wait until they’re “free.”

There is probably a more diplomatic way to say this, but:

There is something seriously wrong with an electorate that selects as its top law enforcement officer a man who made clear he actually hopes children die to punish their parents.

🚨BREAKING: Right as polls are about to close, Senate Democrats are making MOVES toward reopening the government, with over 12 in serious talks to strike a deal, per Punchbowl

IT WAS ALL A GAME.

They used the shutdown to hopefully juice their leftist base turnout for the elections.

You are a DISGRACE, Chuck Schumer!

I have some thoughts on the outcome of the Virginia election.

First, I do not want to hear another left-winger say “Vote for the person of color” ever again. Tonight in Virginia, you proved that “DEI” is just a vehicle you use to get what you want and then dump it as soon as it is no longer convenient.

I also no longer want to hear how morally superior and empathetic you are. You just elected an Attorney General who openly fantasized about conservatives’ children being killed to force them to move on gun policy. That is Satanic.

That would be immediately disqualifying for a Republican.

But, Democrats continue to glorify and justify political violence and they refuse to get their house in order. Their reaction to Charlie Kirk’s assassination, and this includes a number of people I went to college with, cements this as a hard fact.

I am unaffiliated with any political party, but I am, on most issues, conservative. I don’t vote along party lines, but while most of the GOP is utterly useless, the Democrats have completely lost the plot. Until the likes of John Fetterman and Bill Maher become the norm again in their party, I refuse to vote for any Democratic candidate.

The only reason Virginia is so blue now is because a bunch of federal employees live in Arlington, Fairfax and Loudoun counties and commute to D.C. Had FDR not turned the federal government into a jobs program, this wouldn’t be the case.

My primary residence is still Virginia, so I am still registered to vote there, but I now temporarily live in the south for work. I soon plan on making my stay permanent.

Virginia is the California of the east thanks to the overdevelopment of Northern Virginia. It isn’t the blue collar, farm country I was born and raised up in 22 years ago.
