Freedom isn't perfect, just better than the alternatives. Strong views, but open to be proven wrong. Doing research for a book project, no copyright intended 👍

1. I've decided to Change the way I use twitter.

My main goal will be to post content related to whatever I've been reading or researching (longer threads I do will be linked below).

It's all to live up to my own advice for liberty-minded people:

George Floyd would still be alive if these changes were already in place:

The many ways government has disproportionately harmed various groups throughout history is something I wish Libertarians would emphasize more. 🤔

Government policies that contribute to Black/White wealth gap:

-Zoning restrictions

-Social Security (you have to live long enough to even take from it)

-Victimless crime laws

-Regulatory barriers to entry for new businesses

And several more things I need to write about...

I'm not saying black inner-city families don't have any problems with poor choices, but there's no way that gap would be that pronounced if government stayed out of their way.

Thinking a lot lately about what @BlanksSlate said about this topic: https://t.co/i8RjNmidvJ

[Anthony Pompliano 🌪 @APompliano]

My conversation with @TR401 is now on YouTube.

We discuss the importance of financial education, how Bitcoin was built for the inner city communities, what financial advisors are missing right now, and what you can do listening from home.

Enjoy!

Clearly the best way to put "America First" is to keep skilled workers from coming to the US.

(seriously, this is really bad policy)

BREAKING: Trump Administration will restrict issuance of temporary economic migrant work visas, including H-1B (skilled temporary migrant workers), H-2B (temporary lower‐​skilled non‐​agricultural employment), J visas, & L visas (intracompany transfers). https://t.co/Mk33Yroskl

@KatMParrish Somebody needs to put this on a black tile and convince every Fortune 500 to post it:

End qualified immunity.
End civil asset forfeiture.
End the drug war.
End overcriminalization.
End no-knock warrants.
End militarization of police.
End mandatory minimums.

@KatMParrish Brought to you by corn subsidies (literally) 😂

But I guess them posting a black tile is easier than reducing the number of laws that lead to unnecessary police interactions in the first place.

Slate Star Codex is one of the most thoughtful places on the Internet.

Linked to by over 3 million sites, an untold number of fans, and all for free by an anonymous author.

And a journalist wants to expose it for no particular reason; nothing more than a few clicks.

[Austen Allred @Austen]

This is incredibly, incredibly sad.

A writer at the New York Times is apparently going to reveal the identity of the author of Slate Star Codex, so he is shutting the blog down.

Scott Alexander of Slate Star Codex (@slatestarcodex) deletes his blog after a @nytimes reporter threatens to doxx him, which could ruin his career as a psychiatrist and raises serious safety concerns. https://t.co/BzWGFPkPAk

Story number one has no mention of story number two published in the same newspaper just a few months ago. (Yep, Washington Post was publishing articles calling masks "superstition" akin to tossing salt over one's shoulder. No retraction, apology or update).

I was on an H1B visa for 10 yrs. Started a company with co-founders also on H1Bs. Hired American employees, served US customers. This was our American dream.

But today the same company could be started anywhere. Why would the next generation bother if they can’t get a visa?

[Caleb Watney @calebwatney]

@MattOsterndorf There's a view on the right that US computer scientists are being constantly outsourced and put upon which i think is in stark contrast with hiring data and extremely high demand for these skills that outpaces domestic supply
