The UK Treasury quietly scrapped its numeracy test because basic math was a "hurdle" for minority candidates. Let that sink in. The people in charge of the nation’s money, debt, taxes, and economic policy decided that competence in numbers was problematic. This isn’t diversity. This is institutional self-sabotage.

Late to the party, but after a couple of 4+ hour road trips and a few weeks around town, the Tesla Y with FSD 14+ is incredible. Someone said it recently: it’s like going from black and white to color TV. And when you drive a regular car again, even if it’s a “better” car, you still feel dumb having to drive yourself.

“‘Social justice’ is simply a quasi-religious superstition… which we must fight when it becomes the pretext of coercing other men. And the prevailing belief in ‘social justice’ is at present probably the gravest threat to most other values of a free civilization.” — F.A. Hayek The Henry Nowak murder, the Pakistani muslim rape gang report, and the political response that followed are the perfect illustration. True justice is individual. It exists only to protect a person’s life, liberty, and property from aggression. The same clear rules apply to everyone, regardless of skin color, ancestry, or group grievances. No special treatment. No collective score-settling. Social justice and “collective rights” do the opposite. They turn an inconvenience or conflict involving one person into a supposed crime against his entire identity group. The state then feels entitled to bend procedures, evidence standards, and equal protection to “protect” the narrative of that group. This is how you manufacture a two-tier system where some individuals are worth more than others depending on which demographic box they check. The dying man gets handcuffed while officers entertain the killer’s racism claim. Facts become secondary to group identity. That is the destruction of justice. Tribal collectivism dressed up as morality. Hayek saw where this road leads. Britain is already on it. Reject the mirage before the rule of law collapses for everyone.

Since it’s widely cited that it only costs $20B/yr to end homelessness in the US - this amount should’ve done it right? We fixed all the problems in the country, or no?
