Would you believe me if I said it's possible to: - cut the highest effective tax rates in the country below 50% - cut capital gains taxes by ~ 4% - have net income rise among the bottom 60% - AND raise > $600B revenue/year *very* progressively? @mattyglesias, @Noahpinion, @jdcmedlock

@EpistemiclyRich @jon_stewartmill Just letting AI think for you, and then not even reading what it says? Amazing

@CoreyLeander @jon_stewartmill

New paper, in which I argue you don't live in a democracy. "Democracy and the Academy" at Philosophy & Public Affairs Link below. Tell me why I'm wrong in the replies!

@riksnapper @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo No. It does imply that. “Exploit” is not a word used neutrally as in “this machine exploits this principle of mechanics…” No your whole theory is that workers are being shafted by not having profits distributed to them!

@CoreyLeander @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo It doesn't imply that, you're just illiterate.

What Gen Z gets wrong about capitalism @asymmetricinfo

@CoreyWriting Sure it was. People really don’t like it when people live in America and support a country’s war that they are ethnically associated with abroad

@CoreyLeander No, it wasn't justifiable.

Targeting establishments because of the owner's ethnicity/nationality is racist. Leftists have rebranded ethnic boycotts as "progressive" when it's incredibly gross and justifiable.

@evanwch Fox News though?

I would like like to see the Democrats champion a more populist, centrist platform. The key to their success is to moderate on culture issues, not go further to the left on things like immigration, identity politics, and other issues that pander to their upper-middle class base

@EpistemiclyRich @jon_stewartmill Because it’s elected.

@CoreyLeander @jon_stewartmill In what way would a political party ever be required to be democratic in the way it runs itself? There is no such requirement in the Constitution.

@jadler1969 There was never an originalist conservative movement. The correct answer is simply living originalism, which everyone practices anyway except when they pretend not to for lip service reasons or politics

Just as many progressives never contemplated what a post-originalist legal conservatism might look like, they never contemplated what genuine right identitarianism might encompass.

@s8mb @C_Kavanagh “I hate government reflexively and haven’t thought much about this problem.” - You

The internet is good, social media is a large part of the internet, and I resent the government making decisions about what my children can access instead of me.

@VaActiveAngels @nypost “With behavior like I’m engaging in now, it’s really a surprise that there’s so much antisemitism!”

This looks like it is Austin Franco’s father… Alexander Franco. looks like a good guy. A Virginia Patent Attorney: How did he end up with a college student who when doubling down says that his excuse for being anti-Semitic (and just purposefully mean imo) is somehow associated with “he’s had bad experiences with Jews”? Like he’s had a lot of jobs in Jewish firms? Over his summers? Seriously? He worked every summer? Both of them? He must know he’s up a creek for this because he’s deleted his LinkedIn profile. Hmmm

Antisemitic Cornell student turns down interview because he's 'not interested in working for a Jew' trib.al/NRIMqqR

@Save_America_77 @RealCandaceO “And run to the center” the MAGAt says lmfao

Hey @RealCandaceO, my mom watches your stuff religiously. Thanks for the reply. I wish you well and am praying for you and your family. The path you are on is dark and scary. Please turn back and run to the center on today's political matters. Our dialogue needs moderation

I cannot fathom running an account like Trisha’s. Every tweet she sends is mindlessly focused on Israel or Jewish issues. Every single one. Unclear if a real person even runs this account given the boilerplate language everywhere.

@geraldposner @trishaposner Should there be anger at people who refuse to work for Russians that support the war in Ukraine? Poor Gerald, such a blind spot and unable to think

@trishaposner Amazing that the tsunami of X comments are anti-Jewish invective directed at the 2 student entrepreneurs and not anger at the kid who refuses to work for Jews. The world is really upside down

Watch this video clip Two Jewish students built a business. A Cornell classmate rejected their job offer — in writing — because he was "not interested in working for a Jew." They kept his name private. They just wanted proof that antisemitism is real, not imagined or exaggerated. He outed himself. And their reward for that restraint? They're the ones paying the price. A flood of vile hate — most of it right here on X. People aren't just defending him. They're saying Jew-hatred is justified. These young men aren't asking for his punishment. They're asking for accountability for the hatred now being directed at them. Elon — this is happening on X every single day.

@trishaposner ???

June 15 – On This Day in Holocaust History 1938—The Nazi regime launches the so-called “Asocial Action” (Asoziale-Aktion) against Jews deemed undesirable by the state. Context: Approximately 1,500 Jews are arrested and sent to concentration camps. The definition of "criminal" is expanded to include even minor offenses, including some traffic violations. The operation demonstrates how Nazi authorities increasingly used police power and concentration camps to remove Jews from German society even before the outbreak of war. It marks another step in the transition from discrimination and exclusion to imprisonment and terror. 1942—Authorities in Riga, Latvia, request a second mobile gas van. Context: The request for an additional gas van is one of those seemingly mundane administrative records that reveals the true nature of the Holocaust. A routine bureaucratic request for more killing equipment illustrates how mass murder had become institutionalized, organized, and normalized within the Nazi system. Gas vans killed victims using carbon monoxide exhaust piped into sealed compartments. They were slow and torturous deaths of those trapped inside pounding to be let out, over the 20 to 30 minutes that it took for the gas to kill them. They vans used extensively in occupied Eastern Europe, including Latvia and at the Chełmno killing center. By June 1942, much of Latvia's prewar Jewish population had already been murdered by Einsatzgruppen, local collaborators, and German security forces. ——Operation Reinhard continues across occupied Poland. Deportation trains continue arriving at Bełżec, Sobibór and Chełmno. The extermination of Polish Jewry is accelerating during the summer of 1942. Entire Jewish communities are disappearing within weeks. 1944—The deportation of Hungarian Jews to Auschwitz-Birkenau continues at full intensity. By mid-June, hundreds of thousands of Hungarian Jews have already been deported. Auschwitz is operating at unprecedented killing capacity. Most arrivals are sent directly to the gas chambers.

@CoreyWriting But when you tweet shit like this, you should be taken seriously?

If you're wearing a mask in 2026 then I'm not going to take you seriously.

@SammyNize @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo Imagine retweeting shit like this lmao

@themimsshow @asymmetricinfo

@riksnapper @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo Sure it is. It’s not neutral at all it implies workers are not getting all they’re owed and should be receiving the profits (which is insane!)

@themimsshow @asymmetricinfo "Exploit" is not a moralizing term by the way, when used in the phrase "exploit labor," it's the more neutral definition of the word "exploit," where it simply means that you make use of something. Denying that capitalists exploit labor is incredibly stupid, it's economics 101.

@riksnapper @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo So you mean, hired instead of exploited?

@themimsshow @asymmetricinfo Capitalist businessowners get rich by leveraging their ownership of the means of production to get the profits produced by workers. That's simply how capitalism works, the fact that you feel forced to deny that shows that you know deep down that you can't defend capitalism.

@riksnapper @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo There is no such thing as “socialist economics” oe “liberals economics 101” lol

@themimsshow @asymmetricinfo Not even socialist economics 101, no, this is shit that a standard liberal textbook will also tell you.

@riksnapper @themimsshow @asymmetricinfo Just knew I was going to find someone saying “but they do exploit labor though!” How? Youre repeating idiotic Marxist claims at any labor under a system of profit is exploitative, which is wrong

@themimsshow @asymmetricinfo This is such blatant dishonest propaganda. You can make lots of arguments to try to defend capitalism, but you can't deny that businessowners who get rich by creating what later becomes a very big company, get rich by exploiting labor, that is very straightforwardly what they do.

@jadler1969 “narcissism” I love when conservatives claim it’s somehow a responsibility to have children

And the kicker is indulging narcissism in this way is less likely to produce contentment or happiness.
