Zohran has race resentment towards white people in America for absolutely no reason, while he comes from upper caste system Indians who actually benefited from having light skin in India.

We will see this at 90%+, barring catastrophic policy choices.

Homeless, yachtless Elon Musk, who actually builds rockets, EVs, and neural tech trying to benefit humanity, should apparently cough up $50 billion in taxes on unrealized gains.

Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs ($15B inherited), Nancy Walton ($20B inherited), and MacKenzie Scott ($40B divorce) never built shit, never risked shit, and never shipped a single product that changed the world.

But they get the praise and zero scrutiny. Because they have the right politics.

an uncomfortable truth of reindustrialization: no matter how much money flows in, none of it matters unless an average 18 year old weighing college can see the trades as a viable path

Now that I’m out of government, I can finally respond for myself: Get bent, soyboy. We didn’t do this for “Silicon Valley . . . companies.” We did this for you, for your family, your community, your state, your nation, and your species.

Nuclear energy provides the safest, highest density, reliable power available on our planet. My career colleagues at DOE and NRC inspired me to think about nuclear as a way to forge American steel and electrolyze aluminum without releasing particulate matter, to desalinate water in the Middle East and save humanity from resource wars. By rejecting the false narratives and Cold War hysteria, we can secure the next American century while raising whole countries out of poverty.

Do you really think I left an incredible career at Kirkland, paid out of pocket for an apartment in DC and dozens of cross-country trips, and left my family on the west coast because I wanted to enrich people I never met before taking this job? I came to D.C. to do something that mattered, to satisfy a driving curiosity (more on that later), and, most importantly, to serve.

As I learned more about nuclear energy and its history, I developed a conviction that one nuclear’s biggest issues was a culture of cynicism: nothing new or exciting could happen because it would end in disappointment, and that militated against rocking the boat even a tiny bit. The career staff in government and their industry counterparts lived through dark winters before and stopped believing that warm springs could bloom into summers.

I have two core philosophies. First, I believe in ruthless optimism. Rational decision making requires detached risk analysis. But we also cannot win if we believe we can lose. Merging the two requires orienting teams around driving missions. That way, when a real opportunity presents itself, you can take a huge swing.

If I take credit for anything—honestly, almost all of the success belongs to the incredible and dedicated people at @ENERGY and @NRCgov—it’s countering the cultural rot and morass that risked forfeiting American excellence. My colleagues and I gave cover to the scientists and engineers, which freed them up to focus on delivering safe power. And, as success materialized, they started to dream again. That’s why the pilot program succeeded, and why I feel confident about the future of NLICs and NRC reform. Nobody needs me anymore because they can innovate on their own.

My second core philosophy is to assume positive intent. Avi, I know that you heard about my real motivations from multiple people you interviewed when preparing your hit piece on me. Rather than telling that story, one which could help inspire another generation of people to use their talents for the greater good, you ignored them. Instead, you implied that Peter Thiel recruited me for nefarious purposes. (I’ve never met him, but, @peterthiel, if you’re reading this, I’m a huge fan!)

Nuclear regulation starts and ends with safety. I promised everyone I worked with that I would resign before doing or pushing for anything that could compromise public safety. But I also distinguished between real safety and performative bullshit. That’s what the careers came to embrace, too. We love nuclear, why would we do anything that could risk threatening its future?

America faces a crossroads. We can either trod a road of cultural decay or hike our way back to the peak of global innovation. Join me on the latter path. Correct the fear mongering and conspiracies and tell the story of America’s great reindustrialization. Tell the story of our public servants, our great entrepreneurs, our scientific dominance. Tell the real story about how DOGE went nuclear.

ok so what i’m hearing is the state is literally forcing men in california to suck dick for money. but that can’t possibly be true.

right?

SCOOP: California is pressuring public utilities to award $633 million in special contracts to "LGBT-owned" firms. To qualify, residents must go through the state's official gay-certification program—and face up to a year in jail if they're not gay enough.

I pay $200 month for claude and would voluntarily pay $5k.

I've paid millions to the federal government and would voluntarily pay $0.

@BeGreatEducate1 @DOWResponse @SecWar 44 reps at 135 equates to ~ 333lbs 1 rep max. This is insanely impressive.

[Mark J. Perry @Mark_J_Perry]

Here are some concerning crime data that won't be reported by the mainstream media:

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics' 2024 report "Criminal Victimization," Whites are 46X more likely to be the victim of a violent crime by a Black offender than Blacks being the victim of a White Offender (adjusted for population).

Whites as significantly disproportionate victims at the hand of Black criminals doesn't fit the standard narratives of victimhood, white privilege, systemic racism, etc., and gets ignored.

@antibearthesis That's the new reality people don't want to admit. Fundamentals used to be king. Now? Narrative, hype, and "vision" matter more than P/E ratios.

@jacksonhinkle China exploits capitalism through currency manipulation and what effectively amounts to an endless supply of slave labor. If it weren't for corrupt globalist corporations and sell out Western politicians, it would still be mostly rice paddies. That said, China leads in pollution.
