@magattew @VoetBoet Isn't the real question why Africans cannot maintain societies where this is possible on the home continent?

Every time someone shoves that IQ map of Africa in my face, I have one question: If we're so stupid, why do we become doctors, entrepreneurs, and engineers the second we get to a free country?

Yes, let me take off my [Obama, Mueller, Fauci, RBG, Hilary] hat, lower all my [Obama, Mueller, Fauci, RBG, Hilary] flags, take off my [Obama, Mueller, Fauci, RBG, Hilary] ear pad, drop down my [Obama, Mueller, Fauci, RBG, Hilary] diaper, while I pour out my [Obama, Mueller, Fauci, RBG, Hilary] jizz cup.

If I have this right, West’s husband says West is racist for not letting him cheat, West says her critics are racist for being mean to her husband’s Iranian girlfriend on Persian New Year, and now the Iranian girlfriend says the Slate writer is racist for noticing Aham sucks?

@prowrstlngstrng Exactly right. My high school aged son and his friends are totally immune to any of the white boy shaming.

This discourse is exhausting but two things can be equally true Young white men are systemically discriminated against and scapegoated by all factions of western society and denied access to institutions and careers which they are worthy of BUT Young white men. You are the most talented, strongest and intelligent group in the world. You can overcome these obstacles and achieve personal, spiritual and family success despite their attempts to bring you down You are being held back, but you alone are uniquely takneted enough to shatter those obstacles Go get it
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

The question for young men is to figure out precisely what is holding you back from your dreams, and how to break through the barrier. The Torbas of the world will sell you resentment and scapegoating, but besides being a distortion of reality, it won't help you build your life. If you're honest about your circumstances, the real conclusion is not "the Jews are why my life isn't where I want it to be," in the same way as "whiteness, or systemic racism, is why my life isn't where I want it to be." While it's fine to solve social problems, my observation is that people who are obsessed with blaming Jews, whites, blacks, whomever, have real individual issues they need to sort through, and will be disappointed to discover that spending a few years hating the scapegoat didn't materially improve their lives at all.

@RodeoProfessor Unfortunately my point of entry is the north entrance so I no longer bother going to the park in the summer but October is great - not crowded and seeing the vegetation in fall colors is amazing.

I strongly encourage you, if you’ve never been to Yellowstone, not to let these doomer posts bum you out. You can go to Yellowstone at peak and not experience any of this, you come in via the Cooke City NE entrance early morning, watch thousands of animals (wolves, elk, prongs) in the Lamar Valley, which is your heritage as an American, see the park, and not see any of this clusterf*ck. Sometimes you have a bad visit and you hit a jam, have some snacks and huckleberry beers in the car, so what, it’s worth it. Don’t skip it because you see the worst aspects of a visit posted online. Now, with that out of the way, the thing about the National Park crowding in America is you basically have 4 options, and 0 of these 4 are things that people want or like. I’m going to put a poll in the replies and maybe you vote on the one you like for me? First is you have “ticketed timed entry,” so if you don’t book on Rec dot Gov 6 months out, sorry but you’re probably not getting in during peak season. This is in place at high demand parks like Arches or Going to the Sun Road in Glacier. These work well for people who can plan their lives 6 months + in advance, but you lose the spontaneous American summer road trip which is a big part of the culture. Also, gate employees are suffering from unprecedented harassment and turnover from people who pull up to get in, have no idea they need a booking, and go ham on the 20 year old GS5. Option two is some form of dynamic pricing, lots of economists put ideas out like this but the social justice equity people wail about it, and I get that, you want Americans to access public land regardless of how much they make. This is probably my preferred option though, if you want to go during peak, be prepared to pay. People aren’t ready for a mid June $500-1000 YNP entry fee though, so it’s probably not really feasible. I also don’t think that’s the purpose of entry fees per the statutes that authorize our National Parks so it would be tricky. Third option is what we have today, everyone can enter but some lots (Norris, Grand Prismatic) are going to be a massive thorn in the side. The roads and lots were all designed for demand 50-100 years ago. There’s always parking over by old faithful, and a nice bar in the Old Faithful Inn. There’s always somewhere neat to see that’s not doomered out. Fourth option is you’re required to leave your car and take the shuttle around. This is in place in Zion and some parts of Rocky Mountain up near Bear Lake. Americans (including myself) like our cars and don’t necessarily want to want 30 min for a shuttle after a 10 mile hike with a bunch of kids, but this is probably the future of Yellowstone. Vote your preference in the reply for me if you want to.
MRS. MASSACRE@MrsMassacre

Is this what you thought Yellowstone Park was like? Unmoving traffic jams lasting 1-3 hours; rivaling that of suburban areas in big cities. Nowhere to park. Insane prices. Tourists harassing animals, littering, picking flowers, influencers everywhere, sticking their hands in basins and ruining them, no good camping spots left because people use AI programs to snatch up the good ones within milliseconds of the site opening up, and most of your day spent behind Asian tourist busses. The overwhelming amount of tourists have made the park experience unbearable. You used to be able to go there and explore nature peacefully. Now it's worse than Disneyland.

@aaron_renn For sure. Our family of 5 lives in a house with 2800 SF on the two floors, it's perfectly fine. Had a neighbor with 2 kids move to a 5000 SF house in the suburbs and no one ever uses half of the place.

@JakeCan72 It can only be fixed when it is OK to publicly criticize and shame this behavior, no matter who the messenger is. Blacks have been shielded from this for over 50 years now and it won't be easy to alter the national culture of non-accountability.

In 1960, roughly two-thirds of Black children grew up in two-parent homes. Today it’s under 45%. Pastors. Entrepreneurs. Fathers. Black poverty had already fallen from 87% to 47% in two decades — without major welfare programs. Then the 1970s arrived. Film began centering street figures over community ones. The 1980s and 90s followed. Music made that life aspirational. A criminal past stopped being a liability — it became a credential. The role models didn’t get replaced. They got inverted. Thomas Sowell put it plainly: the Black family survived centuries of slavery and generations of Jim Crow — then disintegrated in the post-1960s. Today nearly 70% of Black births are to unmarried mothers. Chad O. Jackson calls it a culture problem — not a race problem. Full clip below.

Whatever revenue Massachusetts earns from its millionaire tax will be more than offset by the revenue lost when millionaires leave the state for good. The state will also lose all the jobs those millionaires create. This is how you start a fiscal death spiral.
Wall Street Mav@WallStreetMav

Massachusetts approved a millionaire tax of an extra 4% of income above $1 million in 2022. This is in addition to the 5% state income tax everyone pays. So the wealthy in that state pay 9% on top of their federal income taxes of 37%. As a result, they are moving to New Hampshire, Florida and other states with no state income taxes

Yeah, my brother in law says every time he goes to VA there is someone there trying to talk him into getting rated as disabled. Saw a former neighbor a few months back who proudly told me she got a 60 percent disability payment approved - she is a super fit exercise nut who also has a federal job.

I am begging someone, anyone to clean up the disability fraud in the VA. This guy was a Navy reservist who went to school for the Government and got out after 2 years with disability benefits for anxiety and depression. This has to end.

@Steve_Sailer In this case I would imagine there is some kind of maximum lot coverage ratio and the developer came up with this to add some extra square footage on the higher floors and partly disguised it by making the building look really busy.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani
Earlier this week, I broke fast at Rikers Island with New Yorkers in custody, Department of Correction staff, Commissioner Stanley Richards, and Councilmember Yusef Salaam. It was a night that will stay with me for quite some time. People sharing what little they have: breaking bread, offering prayer, making space for one another’s dignity even in the hardest place. In a system too often defined by what it takes, I was reminded of what it means to give—mercy, dignity, and humanity. May we extend that mercy as far as we can. Eid Mubarak to all.

Citation needed on the 'the klan killed millions' claim. What the fuck are you babbling about? No, the blacks are living rent free in the voters of the academy's brains, and we have to suffer through this sub mid student film shit show of a movie and watch you losers think it's a good film.
Learning4u@estudiante514

@TheXReportCard The klan killed millions and whoever thought of this is sick. They don’t need to do anything for revenge cause they are living rent free in your head.
