In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

@NHL do we become stupid during power plays? Why are names being displayed on the tv when they can be seen on the back of their sweaters? It is so distracting. Please stop.

This is spot on.

[david friedberg @friedberg]

i’d argue you’re too easily moved by the choice words. “privilege” and “equality” are selected because they confuse the notion of fairness. another way to frame his statement “if you’re accustomed to succeeding due to hard work, ingenuity, risk/sacrifice, and, sure, some amount of luck, having the outcomes reset so that everyone is rewarded more equally feels unfair.”

is succeeding after making good choices, sacrificing personally, and working hard really “privilege”?

is it oppressive that everyone doesn’t get to the same place?

perhaps the real oppression is the loss of individual liberties when naively egalitarian philosophies mutate into marxism, denying opportunities for individual sacrifice, effort, and achievement to be rewarded.

framed as privilege v equality misses the mark.. equality of opportunity and equality of outcome are v different things. silicon valley’s most successful are the immigrants who found america as one of the only places on earth where an individual with zero baseline privilege can struggle and sacrifice and effortfully succeed. calling them privileged after the fact seems hardly the point. but an easy one to make.

Political corruption and graft at an unprecedented level. How many others are there?

@SenatorDurbin Retire. You suck for the state of Illinois.

[Mark Saviski @msski]

@MissinRoyko …..and when pigs fly. I am old enough to remember when Illinois had Republican Senators.

[Mark Saviski @msski]

Excellent. This truly is what CA needs to do.

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

Is it stupidity or self-loathing when taxpayers pay 13% state tax and get total and complete incompetence?

What are the wins that California residents point to as points of pride to justify the status quo? Said differently, how much economic and ecological destruction do we need to suffer before a majority say enough is enough and break the Democratic cartel that is ruining our beautiful state.

How many more businesses need to leave? How many hi earning residents need to leave? How much further do test scores need to fall? How much more looting and crime do people need to suffer?

I hope this fire is a wake up call that gross taxation, regulation and moral grandstanding doesn’t equate to effective governance. In fact it enables the exact opposite.

California is riddled with grossly ineffective politicians and bureaucrats.

Much like with alcoholism, the cure starts with deprivation. Giving these people less resources is the critical first step. The second is to replace them, writ large, with people who are resourceful and smart. Find operators willing to spend a few years away from private industry to run our critical organizations.

An entire batch of new people with some modicum of operational experience will then prove what many other places already know: you can do more with less by being transparent, accountable and experienced.

Not experienced in grift, corruption and politics. But experienced in results, metrics and accountability.

Balanced article on the tragic LA fires and the tough decisions that need to be made to help minimize catastrophic fires in the future.

This is very smart, and very balanced. Perhaps the single best analysis of the L.A. fires I've read. https://t.co/xYhtWgCKXi

And this is why the average American hates the mainstream media; nothing to see here, in regards to the Hunter pardon, just move along…..

If you want to better understand the dirty little secrets when it comes to “green energy”, please watch this video. We are not there yet and having government try to force it down our throats, is not helpful.

@laralogan Is she the idiot or the tens of thousands that voted her back in office??

@IlliniJen Illinois is the poster child for the definition of insanity. How many more will move away from my former state? The fact that DuPage voted overwhelmingly for Harris, says it all.

[Mark Saviski @msski]

@WallStreetApes @IlliniJen my former home state continues to double down on stupidity. When is enough enough for Illinois voters?
