The Rape Gang Inquiry - what happens next. I intend to use my parliamentary privilege to name perpetrators and their enablers in the chamber. This will be done incredibly carefully with our legal team involved every step of the way to ensure that no future prosecutions are jeopardised. We are cooperating with the authorities in order to help cases be opened and reopened, but my faith in the system to independently deliver justice is not high... That is why we are pursuing private prosecutions and civil litigation. A target list has been identified, and it continues to grow. This all has to be handled very carefully, for obvious reasons, but I am determined to act. We have had enough talk, now we need to act. Our aim is straightforward. Put people in prison. Deliver justice. Finally. We will act. Not talk.

Gabe Einhorn@EinhornGabe·
My name is Gabe Einhorn. I’m a 24 year old founder, building VryfID, which verifies renters identity and income, then matches them with apartments they can actually afford. For landlords, this helps them fill units faster, increase occupancy, and raise NOI. I posted last week about an antisemitic incident, and since then it has blown up everywhere. Social media is flooded with people who hate Jews, and their only goal is to try to destroy us, as you see below. This guy just wants to destroy my business, and take down any Jewish person. Thank God, there are many good people out there who have been supporting me, and who are standing up to hate. If you are seeing this and want to be involved with what we are building, both with VryfID, as well as our fight against hate, please reach out.

Damage Gabe Einhorn by leaving his business a one star review on Google It’s time to show jews they can’t keep destroying lives without consequences.

@dev_mayor @rajboshmahal @exRAF_Al Right, so then it follows that someone in such a position would surely not go on television and say that wealth is not all it’s cracked up to be. Right?

@rajboshmahal @exRAF_Al If you genuinely worked hard for your money and someone said they would take out 60% of that just because you slept over in their house, will you be okay doing that forever? Obviously, not. Because you want to preserve what you worked hard for. Plus, Lewis gives his money too.

The same Lewis Hamilton who used a corporate leasing structure to save money on taxes (around £3.3 million in VAT) when acquiring his Bombardier Challenger 605 private jet in 2013? The same Lewis Hamilton who bought the £16.5 million jet through his British Virgin Islands company (Stealth Aviation Ltd) and who then set up an Isle of Man leasing company (Stealth (IOM) Ltd, to import it into the EU and sub-leased it to a UK jet management firm (TAG Aviation), which in turn provided it back to Hamilton and his Guernsey company under charter agreements? *That* Lewis Hamilton?
Jack@Jackkk

Lewis Hamilton says there should be a limit to how much wealth one person can have "One of the things that I struggle with every day is that there is such a disparity between the wealthy and the poor” "When you drive around LA there's still so many people living on the streets. You shouldn't be able to have billions" "I think there should be a limit to how much you can have because there's enough to go around for everyone”

Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.” “But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

Michael Lewis, author of The Big Short and Moneyball, says 160 million dollars a day is being skimmed off the top of the U.S. stock market. After the book came out, the FBI opened a tip line for Wall Street traders. It's taken by HFT firms. Computers that are milliseconds faster than you. You decide to buy Microsoft. They see your order before the exchange does. They buy first. They sell it back to you at a higher price.

Wings are the shittiest part of the chicken. Anyone… ANYONE who has carved a bird knows this. Wings are peasant food. I absolutely judge every human that makes this part of their normal food group - and for some reason - considers it a delicacy. It’s an appetizer - on its best day.

Wingstop employee wants Americans to know when you go to Wingstop you’re just buying regular Tyson chicken. He shows all the boxes as proof I ran the numbers on Tyson wholesale chicken prices and compared it to Wingstop prices They markup the chicken over 500% - Wholesale Tyson chicken wings typically cost restaurants $1.50–$2.50+ per pound - A pound of bone-in wings yields roughly 8–10 wings - Cost to Wingstop: $0.20–$0.35 per wing that’s including sauce, seasoning and prep - Selling price: $1.00–$1.50+ per wing, or even higher in combos - Markup is 300–500%+ on chicken cost You’re just paying for regular Tyson chicken wings in sauce that’s fried Make it at home and save yourself the 500% markup

Your post has several embedded points that I disagree with. Let's go. THE US MILITARY IS MADE IN CHINA "If China and the USA go to war..." (1) China and the US aren't going to war, because the US military is literally made in China. See the $400M Govini study commissioned by the Pentagon itself[a], which shows that famous American armaments like the JDAM and Tomahawk are ultimately dependent upon Chinese suppliers. (2) Unfortunately, that means China can simply turn off the Republican military. You can't fight your factory. The whole defense industrial buildup to "fight China" is essentially a LARP. I like a lot of the guys involved with that, and I appreciate their wishful thinking, and it may bear results on a multi-decadal time scale...but there's no way that 77M MAGA Republicans are competing with 1.4B+ Chinese in manufacturing anytime soon. China's flex on rare earths was just the beginning of their enormous leverage over the US economy and military. (3) However, most of the world didn't fully understand this. They thought the US military was still the military of 1991, or 2003. That's why the war in Iran should never have been fought; the Republicans should have instead spent their political capital quietly rebuilding, while everyone thought they were still strong. Instead, they just pursued a foolhardy campaign which ended in public defeat. US military bases across the Middle East got blown up by Iranian missiles, with soldiers reduced to working remote, and ships pulled back far from the theater. This sucks, but now even neocons like Kagan are acknowledging total defeat [b,c]. (4) So: after the defeat in Iran, it's unlikely there is war with China (which is >100X Iran). However, similar to how the post-Soviet Russia got into fights with its neighbors, like the Chechens and Ukrainians, the post-imperial America will probably get much more involved in Latin America. But that's a whole separate topic. CITY STATES VS NETWORK STATES "...what you’re actually talking about is just starting some small city states around the world..." (1) First, hopefully you'll agree that new cities are pretty cool in their own right, and are how America was born in the first place. The Massachusetts Bay Colony built the City on a Hill, remember? (2) Second, I'm expressly not only talking about centralized city states, which are entirely dependent on their geographic host, but also distributed network states. There's a concrete visual here[d], but to first order you can think of it as "just" a physical social network, albeit with financial and technological resources on par with a legacy state. Similar to how some countries are islands separated by oceans, you can imagine new countries that are groups of islands (or enclaves) separated by Internet. (3) The key precedent here is decentralized crypto, which is much bigger than the the vast majority of country-scale economies in the world. Were all the crypto datacenters wiped off the map, and all cryptocurrency holders killed the second a "superpower" decided crypto was inconvenient? No, crypto actually flipped both superpowers. It was a fight with words and code, not guns, but crypto is now legal in much of the world, including not just the US and EU, but even Hong Kong in China. (4) Fourth, your beliefs were likely also considered "subversive" by far leftists for many years. But technologists defended your right to free speech, with code. And ultimately what matters is whether a belief is true, and whether it produces human flourishing. NATION OF EMIGRANTS "...didn’t you flee to Singapore?" (1) This sentence makes no sense. It's like saying "didn't you flee to Stanford" or "didn't you flee to Google". Lest you didn't know, Singapore is by some measures now the richest country in the world[e,f]. You apply to move there, and it has borders, and rejects many applicants. You cannot simply "flee" there. (2) Now, with that said, your sentence does make sense in a different context, which is that millions of Republicans and technologists HAVE fled...because they fled Democrat-controlled states like California for places like Texas and Florida, to escape the violence and drug addicts. (3) I am sympathetic, of course. But there is a difference between simply fleeing Blue America for the next state over, as opposed to consciously moving and then coming up with a plan. The obvious plan is to just vote within your existing city or country, and of course you can do that, but perhaps one can do something more. (4) My plan is simple: use the Internet to peacefully build new opt-in communities, build new cities, and connect them together. In the fullness of time, I do think that we can use the Internet to build many alternatives to places like San Francisco and Los Angeles, drain them of their best people, and demonstrate that a new birth of freedom is possible. That will either reform places like SF and LA, or it will end them, but either way the people finally get a true democratic choice of governments, with 1000 cities to chose from. (5) In other words: we want 1000 startup societies and network states around the world, each for a different subculture, some for Americans, and some for others. That's also part of why I moved here, to learn from Lee Kuan Yew's work. (6) Again, this is how America itself was started. The Pilgrims and Puritans "fled" to New England and started a new city on the hill, which eventually outclassed most of the cities in the old world. A group of Irish Americans "fled" from Ireland to America to join them. Really, they didn't simply flee, they moved, and they built something better. (7) Finally: yes, of course, it did take centuries to scale Boston to a population of 673,000. But the Internet got to billions of users in just a few decades. With new tech, we might be able to scale new cities much faster than they did before. Elon's Starbase is already well on its way, by the way. And that's what I mean by printing out the Internet.

PRINT OUT THE INTERNET Ok. Let me make it extremely concrete. Where did this giant sprawling datacenter come from? It was printed out from the Internet. Specifically, Zuck used the Internet to gather men, make money, organize materials, purchase territory, and shape it to advance Meta's goals. The principal such goal is, ultimately, the replication of Meta itself. This datacenter makes money in the cloud, which enables Zuck to purchase more land, which he repeats all over the earth. Think of it as viral growth, but in the physical world. Now extend that beyond Meta, towards any Internet tribe...such as your following. After all, where was your following built? Was it built one handshake at a time? No, it was built on the Internet. And where do you spend your time? Do you spend it convincing people in a small town? No, you probably spend it on the Internet. And where do you make your money, use your money, find your information, talk to your ideologically aligned friends? Again and again, the Internet. As Orwell said, to see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle. The Internet is, right this moment, in front of your nose, as you're looking at your screen. Yet despite being the single most important force in the world, the thing that billions personally engage with for hours per day, the driving force that essentially didn't even exist in daily life just a few decades ago, perhaps the most popular thing humans have ever created...the Internet is still somehow underestimated. After all, the Internet is now much larger than America, with billions of users. The Internet is actually much wealthier too, as it's the only thing with global economic scale comparable to China. The Internet also now drives every single political and military event, from the initial Twitter-driven election of Trump and Brexit, to crypto and AI, to the advent of drone warfare. In fact, the Internet was in part built by America to outlive America. That's why Paul Baran of RAND proposed a packet-switched network, so that the Internet could resist a nuclear attack. ARPA eventually adopted the same blueprint on efficiency grounds. But Baran's initial idea remains important: even if the American state went down, the Internet's network would stay up. Concretely, what it means is that brilliant Americans designed a communications system that could survive even as everything else went down. So that we could restore America from cloud backup. We might need to draw on that property. We might need to print out the Internet, to organize social networks in the physical world, to gather peers together online to start building the societies we believe in offline. Because if we can print out a datacenter, we can also print out a new city.
