No way the KOCH BROTHERS who want unlimited cheap labor to fill their greedy capitalist pockets are *SHOCKED* PRO IMMIGRATION???
Tuki@TukiFromKL
the CATO Institute.. a libertarian think tank funded by the Koch brothers.. just published a study showing immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits every single year from 1994 to 2023.. not a left-wing university.. not a Democratic PAC.. the Koch brothers' own research institute.. they reduced the deficit by $14.5 trillion over 30 years.. they earn less per hour but work at higher rates.. which means higher per capita income.. which means higher taxes paid.. the country spent 30 years being told immigrants were draining the system.. turns out they were funding it.. and the people who told you that knew the numbers the whole time

"Men are tired to disgust of money-economy. They hope for salvation from somewhere or other, for some real thing of honour and chivalry, of inward nobility, of unselfishness and duty."

when i was a child i wanted to be an airline pilot and my insane mother railed against this ambition of mine as boring and inadequate, she said i might as well be taxi driver. some imponderable combination of social pressures and my own talents steered me toward ancient history/archaeology anyway, but i’ve always been an aviation enthusiast in my reading and i really think a massive defect of the modern world is allowing stupid hag women to importune upon the naive visions of young boys. i would’ve been totally happy and thrilled to be a pilot, i put up with loads of shit in academia and walked away from it permanently embittered.

If you read the lives of Caesar, Alexander, and Napoleon you can see how their seemingly delusional mindset shaped their success.
Caesar in particular had a knack for turning bad situations to his advantage. He was once kidnapped by pirates in the Mediterranean, but his personality won them over. When they tried to ransom him for 20 talents of silver, he demanded that they raise it to 50. After his release, he raised an army and killed all of the pirates who had previously kidnapped him.
He did the most insane political maneuvers too, like running for pontifex maximus at 36 while lacking all of the typical prerequisites.
All of this built up an insane aura around him which just accelerated his success.

This is mostly why I’m anti-wearable/anti-data tracking, & also anti-tik tok/anti-ig. Do whatever it takes to preserve ur positive mindset, & remove the things that mess with it. Spend enough time on those apps & trackers & u will be convinced that u have PCOS, perimenopause, ur husband is cheating on u, & u can’t go to the gym because ur in ur luteal phase or whatever. It’s all driving u insane & making u miserable

Literally just having a delusional golden retriever mindset measurably changes outcomes and physiology. Sleep badly? Convince yourself you're well rested. Stressful day? Convince yourself it's fuel. Failed? Convince yourself it's useful data.
