Hand-wringing and whining along with random observations in no particular order.

@thehill Again, there is such a thing as TDS. Never a Hilary fan to say the least I always thought of her as having a measured demeanor and an adult presence. But now she’s obviously rattled, sites “the Internet” as her source of ridiculous claims about Trump. Sad.

@NewsHour on PBS has become a parody of a woke news broadcast. Surreal.

There are two separate list prices to end the "homeless" problem in America. One is the price if you are willing to call bums, tramps, and hobos what they are — bums, tramps, and hobos. That price is a lot less than $20 billion. The other is the price if you insist on calling bums "homeless". That price is infinity dollars. Because you can't solve a problem, no matter how much money you spend, until you understand what they problem is. If you call a guy "homeless", that means you think the problem is that he doesn't have a home. But the problem isn't THAT he doesn't have a home, it's WHY he doesn't have a home. He doesn't have a home because he is incapable of the basic life tasks you have to do so that you have one. So buying him a place to lay his head won't fix anything. It won't make him less addicted to heroin. Or less schizophrenic. Or less antisocial and unable to sustain the basic human relationships necessary to have a job or an income. The problem isn't that they don't have things. So you can't fix them by giving them things. It's that they can't do things. So what you have to do is stop giving them things so they have to fix themselves. And if they can't, you physically remove them from society so they can't bother functional people. And if you're not adult enough to be willing to do that, because you can't stand looking mean, then you're not adult enough to be trusted with $20 billion to "fix homelessness".

Cost to end homelessness in the U.S. is about $20-30 billion.

Just sayin…. The last time the Indiana University Hoosiers football team played a school from the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in a regular or postseason game was during a home-and-home series with Missouri in the 2013 and 14 seasons. That’s the most recent SEC matchup on their schedule history. Before that, Ind’s SEC games included a game against Kentucky, the most recent being September 2005.

Duffy is the most talented political athlete of his generation you would form a great team.
Elon Musk@elonmusk

@GrantObi Of course not. Duffy understands nothing about how anything works. The importance of the Moon for scaling AI did not occur to me until we did the scaling math on Earth to figure out what it would take to launch >1TW/year of orbital AI.

Future Presidents will thank (maybe only in private) Trump for this. No President will bring back the messy turf at The Rose Garden or the tired, odd-lot, broken toy cluster in the East Wing. Trump is doing the right things. He is improving the utility of The White House and the quality of the experience.

I shared this note with the Washington Post team this morning: I’m writing to let you know about a change coming to our opinion pages. We are going to be writing every day in support and defense of two pillars: personal liberties and free markets. We’ll cover other topics too of course, but viewpoints opposing those pillars will be left to be published by others. There was a time when a newspaper, especially one that was a local monopoly, might have seen it as a service to bring to the reader’s doorstep every morning a broad-based opinion section that sought to cover all views. Today, the internet does that job. I am of America and for America, and proud to be so. Our country did not get here by being typical. And a big part of America’s success has been freedom in the economic realm and everywhere else. Freedom is ethical — it minimizes coercion — and practical — it drives creativity, invention, and prosperity. I offered David Shipley, whom I greatly admire, the opportunity to lead this new chapter. I suggested to him that if the answer wasn’t “hell yes,” then it had to be “no.” After careful consideration, David decided to step away. This is a significant shift, it won’t be easy, and it will require 100% commitment — I respect his decision. We’ll be searching for a new Opinion Editor to own this new direction. I’m confident that free markets and personal liberties are right for America. I also believe these viewpoints are underserved in the current market of ideas and news opinion. I’m excited for us together to fill that void. Jeff
