@spencerpratt Communist supporters always believe that their support for the Communist will keep them from being destroyed by the Communist, but it never works that way.

“I supported this…why is he doing this to me?” Useful idiots. NEVER help a communist.

@PeterDClack Indeed, the entire purpose of Climate Panic is to reduce the cost of coal for China and increase the supply of coal for China.

There is a hint of delicious irony to all this. China currently manufactures 80% of the world’s solar panels, 75–80% of all batteries, 60–65% of wind turbine parts and 55% of global crude steel. This staggering modern-day success story represents the largest, quietest transfer of industrial might and power in human history. China's manufacturing grunt is more than the next 15 countries combined—larger than the US, EU and Japan together. To power this industrial onslaught, China commissions around six state-of-the-art coal plants a month (50–80 GW a year). It operates over 1,200 coal plants totaling 1,271 GW—more than half the world’s total capacity. Its coal mining fleet is four times larger than second-place India. As a result, China’s share of global manufacturing grew from 6% to 30% since 2000. Meanwhile, America’s plunged like a lead balloon from 25% to around 12%, and Europe’s collapsed from 25% to around 14%. How? China uses abundant, reliable coal power, refuses to bind itself to net-zero, and has leadership that treats factories and steel mills as critical assets—unlike the West. In geopolitical terms, this should be a lightning rod across the decaying West. But the job on the West is just about done, and the Western green transition is now almost entirely dependent on hardware manufactured by China. This rise to dizzy heights was only made possible by using the same demonised dense fossil fuel energy that has already sent the Western world spiralling into a brackish, foul-tasting, latter-day mediaeval backwater. It should be the biggest, loudest, and most outrageous news story in the Western world—but it hardly rates a mention.

@RobSchneider WNBA coaches: "We are ignorant about the basic facts, but anyway here is our rigid position"

White Liberal Women who don’t know what a woman is should probably not be allowed to vote…

The DSA platform advocates for massive concentration of power. Sayonara, checks and balances! Baffling that this is popular

@BillAckman @NYCMayor You can’t present a winning economic argument to people who are just trying to scratch a moral poison ivy of the mind. It’s like asking a beagle to stop barking at the television. Beagles know. Billionaire bad. Tax good.

@FiftySeth @NYCMayor You’re missing the point. The purpose of the tax is to raise revenues. It is going to cause overall real estate tax revenues to decline.

The @NYCMayor Mamdani pied a terre tax (the PAT tax) will likely reduce overall tax revenues for NY and that’s before considering the capital flight it will cause. When a NYC home is burdened with an additional annual tax, the home value will decline by the capitalized value of that new tax. While the PAT tax is set at 5%, it is 5% of the assessed value of the home, which is generally substantially less than its market value. Assessed values are typically a fraction, let’s say 6%-15%, of the market value of a home and/or apartment so economically the PAT tax should be approximately 0.3%-0.75% of the market value of the home. Using a 4% cap rate, a 0.3%-0.75% PAT tax should reduce market values and annual real estate tax collections by 7.5%-18.75% assuming people believe the tax will be payable annually over the long term. The impact on current real estate values is not just on owners whose primary residence is elsewhere. As such, the value of all NYC residential real estate is going to decline. This will lead to substantially reduced assessed values and lower overall real estate tax collections. And all of the above is before considering capital flight as more wealthy NYers leave the city and the desirability of NYC residential real estate declines. Tell me why I am wrong.

@SmileMoreX7 True. Guys want an elegant, poised, beautiful woman, not a spandex-clad piece of rat bait.

Is that true, guys?🤣

@adukeMN “There’s real issues that I think we can thoughtfully think through”. Cheryl Reese is an imbecile who identifies as an intellectual.

Cheryl Reeve speaking on the trans rally that is planned prior to the Indiana Fever game Sunday and her views around trans athletes and Women’s sports Full video below: I don’t feel it’s right to clip or cut out snippets for quotes, so if you have time, give it a listen.

I remember after the 2008 crash calling one Wall Street talking head after another and being told mortgage fraud was not a factor in the collapse. Sometimes there are industry-wide incentives for everyone to be full of shit.

We are one Democrat from going back to the border being "secure" and to news media dumb enough not to ask questions.

@charliebcurran Pwecious!

This is the satire Ro Khanna and Adam Schiff want to make illegal so democrats aren't the butt of jokes.

Well this didn't age well

Literally one of the best videos ever published to Twitter—from the start to the perfectly timed elevator door close finish

Just a quick reminder that they arrested this guy for paddleboarding alone in the ocean during Covid while Anthony Fauci had dinner with Jake Tapper and his wife in DC and Gavin Newsome hosted a party with friends in California.

@RedBirdSoaring @_everythingism @jenzhuscott @TheEconomist Yeah, because Democrats think that being associated with a notorious pedophile is bad, and worth resigning over. Republicans don't. Got a name for "the guy from Barclays Bank", by the way? It could be a teller at my local branch, for all I know.

For 20 years @TheEconomist was my weekly read to learn and understand what’s happening in the world, until it became a pompous, self-righteous, at times racist propaganda in its polished intellectual disguise. They do their audience disservice, because they make their convinced readers profoundly misunderstand what’s truly happening in this world. @zannymb chaperoned this tragic decline.

Of course not. It is because corporate boards sniff out when they have a problem with a senior executive and then the executive is offered a chance to resign without formal disclosure, or to be replaced with public disclosure, as with Ernst Lieb of Mercedes Benz. Board members leak afterward.
