$122 for Thai takeout? That's what’s happened in Seattle, after politicians forced a high minimum wage for DoorDashers. Now customers order less food, and drivers get less work. Government wage controls ALWAYS fail:

Reality has a way of exposing media narratives. Another person from the Netherlands is finding that out the hard way.

I tried a Publix ‘pubsub’ in Florida and I totally get the hype…

@HUCosell Dog, $4 mil in accessories and he didn’t get drafted first round just like me.

Admittedly, this doesn’t age well

This is one of the best illustrations of what socialism (in any form) does to the poor. It promises a ladder of programs & benefits but can’t lift people out of poverty. No country on earth has made the poor better off under socialist governments.

SELENE'S GUIDE TO RANCH DRESSING FOR WORLD CUP VISITORS So you have discovered ranch. The whole world is smuggling it past the TSA, and I am genuinely delighted for all of you. But before you check a bottle in your luggage, let me save you from yourself. Rule one. The restaurant ranch is the good ranch. The stuff you are falling in love with at American restaurants is mostly made fresh, in house, that morning. That is why it tastes alive. If the ranch is thick and gloppy, run. Thick ranch means they bought it in a bucket, and you deserve better. Rule two. Do not buy the little bottles to take home. That is the tourist trap. The bottled stuff is not what won your heart at the restaurant. Rule three. If you must take it home, buy the big seasoning containers, not the liquid. The large tubs of dry ranch seasoning at Walmart, your grocery store, or Sam's and Costco are the real treasure. The powder travels beautifully and laughs at the 3.4 ounce liquid rule. Skip the bottled dressing entirely. The seasoning is what you want. And yes, about all that confiscated liquid ranch. The TSA has been enjoying the leftovers. Word is they have been eating wings nonstop since this whole thing started. Somewhere in a back room at every major airport is an agent on his fourth plate, living his best life. You are welcome, fellas. Rule four. The real move is making it yourself. If you have fresh herbs, or you run out of the American powder back home, here is the recipe that rivals any restaurant in the country. RESTAURANT RANCH Half cup mayonnaise Half cup sour cream 1 tsp dried dill, or 3 tsp fresh Half tsp dried parsley, or 1.5 tsp fresh Half tsp dried chives, or 1.5 tsp fresh Half tsp garlic powder, or 1 grated clove Half tsp Worcestershire sauce Quarter tsp onion powder Half tsp salt Quarter tsp black pepper 1 to 3 tsp white wine vinegar or fresh lemon juice, to taste Half to three quarter cup buttermilk, added slowly to your desired thinness Whisk it all together. Add the buttermilk last and slowly, tasting as you go. Refrigerate at least two hours so the flavors marry. Thin with more buttermilk if it thickens. And finally, what ranch is actually for. Ranch hides the flavor of every vegetable you secretly hate. Ranch rescues bad pizza. Ranch turns a sad plate of corn or tortilla chips into something you will think about later. Just stir in a little extra sour cream for dipping. Ranch does not make food better. Ranch makes food possible. Welcome to America. Now go put it on something. 🦋

Bob Costas just dropped a brutal REALITY CHECK on CNN! They were NOT expecting this from him. Legendary sportscaster tells it like it is. Watch this! #BobCostas #CNN #RealityCheck #WakeUpAmerica #MediaBias

Incredible

Path to Championship Difficulty Oklahoma's path to the championship is the hardest path since college baseball went to this tournament format. They played 11 games against national seeds.

👇👀 @Lowes, as a NC employer, pls advise why you hired ~130 H-1Bs from the 3rd-world THIS YEAR. 30+ MILLION citizens are FORCIBLY DISPLACED from our livelihoods d/t H-1Bs. If your Headhunter is not hearing from Displaced Citizens, HIRE A NEW HEADHUNTER, pls!!! @LukeFarleyNC

FDR is the most overrated president in American history and it is not close. People treat him like a saint. The reality is he inherited a recession and turned it into the longest depression in the history of the developed world. Every other major economy on earth recovered faster than the United States did under FDR. Sit with that. We had the most resources, the most industry, the most capacity, and we recovered slower than countries that got bombed. Unemployment was still 19% in 1938. Six years into the New Deal. Six years of "bold experimentation" and one in five Americans still could not find work. Why? Because his policies were economically illiterate. The NIRA cartelized entire industries and made it illegal to lower prices during a deflationary collapse. He paid farmers to slaughter livestock and plow under crops while people stood in bread lines. He launched a war on business so aggressive that investment dried up because nobody knew what insane rule was coming next. Even his own Treasury Secretary, Henry Morgenthau, admitted in 1939 that they had spent enormous sums and "it does not work" and that unemployment was as high as when they started. Then in 1937 his policies triggered a second brutal crash so embarrassing the textbooks gave it its own polite little nickname, the "Roosevelt Recession," so they would not have to attach his name to the failure in the obvious way. A UCLA study in 2004 concluded the New Deal prolonged the Great Depression by roughly seven years. Seven years of extra suffering sold to you as heroism. So what actually saved the economy? Not the alphabet agencies. Not the fireside chats. A world war. Twelve million men shipped overseas and the entire planet's industrial competition reduced to rubble. That is the "recovery." That is the legacy. Strip away Pearl Harbor and FDR is a guy who took a bad recession and stretched it into a decade of misery with bad economics and a cult of personality. He is not ranked on results. He is ranked on the luck of being in the chair when Hitler invaded Poland. Greatest marketing job in the history of the presidency. Nothing more.

Equity vs. Equality with Thomas Sowell:

By 2050, the world is forecast to face 43 million tons of decommissioned wind turbine blades. These blades are built from high-strength composites made to survive years of weathering. Still, every single turbine standing today will age out before 2050. Most are difficult to recycle, so most are likely to be buried. But Europe now has a landfill ban for blades coming into force. Nations like Germany, Finland and the Netherlands are already blocking landfills. But they still have blades to dispose of. So the waste is pushed elsewhere. Blades are exported to countries where burial is still allowed, such as the UK. Net zero creates a mountain of composite waste. And then has the audacity to call it green.

The portion sizes in America are crazy!!

Henri Veesaar REALLY should have returned to college basketball. One more year at UNC under Michael Malone could have paid dividends.
