I'm old enough to remember a crazier way #neverforget

It’s genuinely good to see socialists make peace with the fact that they lost the economic calculation debate.

Imagine saying this and then unironically advocating that we give the government all the money.

New datacenters can lower electricity prices.

Nobody in America voted for the steam engine. Nobody in America voted for powered flight. Nobody in America voted for the microprocessor. And thankfully, no one voted for American technological innovation to be policed by hysterical Karens on the internet.

I couldn’t help but notice that Senator Sanders chose to use electric lights. Millions of lighting jobs — GONE: lamplighters, linkboys, wick-trimmers, candle-snuffers, tallow chandlers, wax chandlers, spermaceti refiners, whale oil renderers, harpooners, whaling coopers, gas mantle makers, gas fitters, gas-meter readers, kerosene lamp makers, lamp shade fitters, gasolier makers, lamp-chimney sweeps, lamp-chimney glassblowers, oil-lamp fillers, dairymen’s lamp-boys, mine candlemen, miners’ tallow-dip makers, pit-lamp keepers, theater limelight operators, theater gasmen, Drummond-light operators, calcium oxide cylinder suppliers, Argand-lamp lighthouse keepers, wick-spinners, wick-weavers, rushlight makers, beeswax taper makers, candle moulders, candle dippers, bayberry wax gatherers, taper-stand makers, hand-lantern makers, bull’s-eye lantern makers, ships’ lamp trimmers, railway lamp-men, signal-lamp lighters, lantern-bearing watchmen, night-soil men, knockers-up, match girls, white phosphorus match dippers, match-box makers, fusee makers, vesta makers, flint-and-steel makers, tinderbox makers, lamp-cleaning charwomen.

This whole thing gets even funnier (dumber) once you actually look up pictures of the land people are fighting over

Китай был нищей отсталой голодной социалистической помойкой После рыночных (капиталистических) реформ Дэн Сяопина экономика Китая выросла в 40 раз.

AOC cost 25,000 people their jobs in Queens by opposing Amazon’s project. Elizabeth Warren and Mayor Pete cost 17,000 people their jobs by opposing the JetBlue-Spirit merger. Gavin Newsom cost 82,000 people their jobs by driving Tesla, SpaceX, Oracle, Chevron, Palantir, Charles Schwab, and HP out of California. Joe Biden and Kamala cost 11,000 people their jobs by shutting down construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. None of this was a mistake. It’s a policy choice by Democrats. Unemployed and displaced workers turn to and become dependent on government social programs. Without welfare recipients and illegal aliens, Democrats don’t have a base.

New study finds that Gen Z prefers buying levered semiconductor ETFs over having sex (Per @Yale)

@ewarren So why did you block the Jet Blue, Spirit Airlines merger? The combined company would have been better competition than Jet Blue alone. now that Spirit is gone thanks to your intervention.

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

American socialists: “capitalism sucks because I have to work” Actual socialist law: “not working is asocial and punishable by 2 years of prison”

Then go make art and be in your garden. Nobody is stopping you. If you say "but then how will I pay rent and eat!", then your actual complaint is you want stuff to be handed to you for free. Which means *others* have to work to provide for you, and not make art or be in gardens.

Ken Griffin is “appalled” that Zohran used his $238m Manhattan penthouse in his tax the rich promotional video Citadel is now apparently considering bailing on their construction plans to build a new office in Midtown. The project would involve $6 billion in spending and would create 15k permanent jobs in NYC according to Citadel’s COO "It is shameful that he used Ken's name as the example of those who supposedly aren't carrying their fair share of the burdens associated with New York City's often costly and wasteful spending," the email said. "In doing so, the mayor has once again manifested the ignorance and disdain of the elite political class towards those who have been consistently committed to building one of the greatest cities in the world." Would be both incredibly petty but also hilarious if Citadel backed out of their plans over this

People forget that Britain ruled India for roughly two centuries, draining resources and distorting its economy. After independence in 1947, India chose a heavily state-controlled model—partly shaped by colonial trauma and distrust of foreign capital. That meant decades of slower growth under the “License Raj.” It wasn’t until the 1991 economic reforms that India seriously opened markets, reduced controls, and embraced capitalism at scale. In historical terms, India is one of the youngest major economies to fully liberalize. Since then, India’s rise has been dramatic. It is now the world’s fastest-growing major economy, with IMF forecasts around 6%+ annual GDP growth, far ahead of many developed nations. The H-1B system let America tap into that human capital pipeline. Instead of spending decades building equivalent talent domestically, U.S. firms could hire already-trained engineers, doctors, researchers, and specialists educated partly at India’s expense. That means America often got: • Peak productive workers in their prime years • Lower training costs • Immediate plug-and-play talent for growth sectors • More startups, patents, and tax revenue • Global competitiveness without waiting a generation In blunt terms: India invested in raising talent, and America benefited by importing it at the highest-output stage. That’s why anti-H-1B politics can be economically self-defeating. If you block access to global talent, that talent doesn’t disappear—it builds the next boom somewhere else.
