@Bitcoin_Teddy Didn’t Obama get involved in the move to push banks to lend to people who shouldn’t own a home because they can’t handle the debt and responsibility
Cathie Wood just explained why the establishment will never stop coming for Elon Musk.
And the reason is worse than they think.
Wood: “Tesla was an environmental move, which I think a lot of people attacking his cars… they’ve forgotten.”
They didn’t forget. You don’t forget thirty years of marching and petitioning and begging for the machine that saves the planet.
Someone built it. Forced every automaker on Earth to follow.
Then they turned on him the moment he delivered exactly what they asked for.
Not because he failed them. Because he made them unnecessary.
A solved problem is an existential threat to every institution built to solve it. Kills the funding. Kills the committee. Kills every career that exists to manage the crisis rather than end it.
Wood: “I think he’s the Thomas Edison of our age… he wants to do the right thing to transform the lot of most of humanity.”
Edison was hated too. By the people who sold candles. Every revolution looks like an attack to the people it makes obsolete.
Wood: “What we learn about material science and technologies… is going to help us here on Earth as well.”
SpaceX is not an escape. It is a forge. Build under the most brutal conditions in the solar system and every breakthrough comes home.
Most people at his level stop building and start protecting what they have.
Musk picks the hardest unsolved problem on Earth and runs straight at it.
That is not what terrifies them. What terrifies them is he does it without their funding, without their approval, without a single thing they can hold over his head.
A man you cannot buy is a man you cannot control. And a man you cannot control who keeps solving the problems you profit from is the most dangerous human alive.
They will spend their careers trying to tear him down.
Their grandchildren will live in the world he built anyway.
These are most likely people who don’t like working hard and contributing to society and thus need free handouts to make it through life!
And, your question obviously completely stumped them which revealed exactly how psychologically uneasy they are with truth and reality!
And, never forget…Karl Marx was a complete failure when having to deal with the hard realities of life!!! The man was a moocher with no ability to father his own children.
COMMIES ARE LAZY BUMS!
MILTON FRIEDMAN:
“THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T HAVE ANY MONEY.
ONLY PEOPLE HAVE MONEY.
THE GOVERNMENT ONLY GETS MONEY BY PUTTING ITS HAND IN YOUR POCKET AND TAKING IT OUT.”
Before the Crusades, two-thirds of the Christian world had already fallen under Islamic rule.
Your school probably skipped that part.
They taught you the Crusades began in 1095, as if Christians just woke up one morning and decided to march east for no reason.
But history did not begin in 1095.
By then, Islamic armies had already conquered massive portions of the Christian world:
Syria.
Egypt.
North Africa.
The Holy Land.
Spain.
In 711 AD, Islamic forces crossed into Spain.
By 732 AD, they had pushed all the way into France.
That is where Charles Martel met them at the Battle of Tours and stopped the advance into Western Europe.
Some historians consider it one of the most decisive battles in world history.
So when people talk about the Crusades without mentioning the 400 years before them, they are not giving you history.
They are giving you a narrative.
Were the Crusades complicated?
Of course.
Were Christians perfect?
No.
But the idea that the Crusades were some random act of Christian aggression is historically dishonest.
The real story begins long before 1095.
And once you know what happened before the Crusades, the entire conversation changes.
They buried this.
Now you know.
On Canada Day, we give thanks for the inheritance entrusted to us by our founders: a country rooted in freedom, responsibility, and a shared commitment to one another strengthened by generations of Canadians who built, served, and sacrificed.
Laureen and I wish everyone a Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
You know about Einstein and much of his work, yet you probably can't name a single thing Ludwig von Mises did, and that's a scandal.
In 1920 Mises published "Economic Calculation in the Socialist Commonwealth." He proved, in a few dozen pages, that a socialist economy cannot allocate resources rationally. No private ownership of the means of production means no market for capital goods. No market means no prices. No prices means no way to compare the value of building a steel mill versus a rail line. The planners are flying blind. Seventy years later the Soviet Union collapsed under exactly the contradiction he described, and the men who run economics departments still pretend he was wrong on technical grounds. He called it in 1920. They called it bad luck in 1991.
Then there's "Human Action," 900 pages he wrote in his second language, building economics up from a single self-evident starting point: man acts. He acts to remove felt uneasiness. From that one axiom Mises derived the entire structure of prices, interest, money, and the business cycle without a single regression or pretend-physics equation. Einstein had the decency to work with constants that actually hold. You cannot run a controlled experiment on a human being who learns, anticipates, and changes his mind. Mises refused to fake one. The profession punished him for this honesty by handing Nobel prizes to people who model the economy like a billiard table.
Consider the man's life. He fled Vienna in 1934 as the Nazis closed in, then fled Geneva in 1940, landing in New York with no job and no English-language reputation. Harvard and Princeton, busy hiring central planners, never offered him a paid chair. He taught at NYU on a salary funded by private donors, including the William Volker Fund. Friedrich Hayek, his student, took the 1974 Nobel. Mises died in 1973, one year too early, never having received a dime of official recognition for being right about the largest economic question of the twentieth century.
You were taught to revere the man who explained the stars. The man who explained economic reality got erased.
In a just society, Mises would have received multiple Nobel prizes. Do you agree?
