For all their faults, Boomers are still better in many ways than the generational cohorts that have followed them

The essence of the Girldad phenomenon. Ramsey usually gives tough (and warranted) advice to people with debt problems. But when a guy makes the same demands on his gf, Ramsey goes full girldad and rips into the guy for having sensible standards. This says debt is only a guy’s problem. A girl is fine to have massive amounts of it and no serious plan to pay it off. It’s a MAN’s job to take care of it

During early childhood, not only should the mother not work -- the dad should really try not to work very much either. Families should go to great lengths to maximize time spent with mother, father, and child. This is a lot of why I've ever been into extreme frugality, anti-9-to-5, etc. Because I had an absent father, and it sucked. I noticed that many of my childhood friends whose fathers worked "real jobs" suffered similar problems as I did. Nobody was teaching the boys to be men; dads were too busy working to protect their daughters. Even if mom was home and didn't work, they missed out on their father's presence in the home. The kids that turned out the best seemed to have grown up in households where mom never worked, dad only occasionally worked (part-time, self-employed, various "hustles"), both parents spent tons of time with the kids, and usually, this lifestyle was made possible by the fact that the family owned their home outright, with no mortgage. "Jobs" as we know them are a novel product of the industrial revolution. Nothing about them is really anthropologically normal. And so far as family formation is concerned, a father who works a full-time job is almost as much of as hazard as a mother who works at all. The true key is a dirt-cheap, sub-$50k house, zero debt, and an ultra-low-cost lifestyle, so that dad can work very casually, occasionally, etc.

Now is a good time to familiarize yourself with the prelude to the Spanish Civil War Because if the right doesn’t learn that particular lesson of history very quickly we’re about to repeat it

This elon musk immigrated from from post apartheid south africa and for the first 30 years (pre richest man in the world arc) said basic shit like "cant we all get along?" Now hes like "theyre murdering the white farmers" Anyways i bet this "we just need UBI" is 100% in earnest

Elon’s UBI makes perfect sense if we remain in control of AI. AI will make human labor obsolete, but by doing so it will make capital investments much more valuable. A government taxing capital at the same rate could easily have enough revenue to pay a large UBI to all citizens. That would not necessarily cause inflation. The main problem is that once the AIs are superintelligent, there is no reason for them to bother giving resources to humans. But if we can overcome that problem, we’re set.

Remember that this is what winning looks like. If you can regularly harass and intimidate your enemies in public without consequences, and make videos encouraging your kin to do the same, you're in charge.
