Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy states that in any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people: First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration. Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc. The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization. It will write the rules, and control promotions within the organization. Progressives have found a way to insert themselves into nearly every institution as the second group. La Leche, the AMA, the ACLU, and many others. Now we see that they have fully captured the EFF. If you send regular donations or funding to this cause, stop immediately.

After almost twenty years on the platform, EFF is logging off of X. This isn’t a decision we made lightly, but it might be overdue. 🧵(1/5)

I definitely believe we might have merged parallel universes, bc in the timeline I came from the Lindbergh baby was never found. That’s why the joke “I’m the Lindbergh Baby” exists, it doesn’t make sense otherwise

@tuuu28283 If someone follows me I don't generally check if they have a check mark. I look at their profile, see if they post content I would be interested in, then confirm they are not from Africa or India before following back.

アメリカの兄弟達 Lately on Japanese X, there’s a trend called “Blue Badge 100,” where people follow verified accounts just to get follow-backs. But for the sake of all the brothers who followed me and supported me from the start, I’ve decided I’ll never do that.

@MrAndyNgo It has NOT been confirmed - yet. FBI should be in their social media so it will leak if true.

It has NOT been confirmed that one of deceased teen suspects at the Islamic Center of San Diego is trans. People should not repost and share rumors from non-journalists just because there have been many other trans shooters.

Elliot Page is Axel Foley. Because if she can pretend to be a man, might as well be a black one too.

This one frustrates me, because at first Massie seems like he advances libertarian positions. But then after a while you realize he's one of the influencer class of politicians who say shocking things for clicks and fund raising. It's frustrating because a lot of what he advocates makes sense and there aren't enough libertarian voices in congress. But he should not be held above reproach. Anyway, I'm still here man.

See those red bars in the JPEG below? See the big bump from a couple of days ago? Those are people who unfollowed me. Why? Because I posted critiques of Thomas Massie and then explained the harm he causes the conservative movement. His is an unhealthy cult of personality. Trump is frequently accused of this, but it's a reality for Massie supporters. They lack the ability to engage dispassionately on his dismal track record of supporting Democrats while pretending to be "conservative." Vote wisely, KY-04.

I am totally disgusted at the lies that are told in the entire realm of H1B visa world. the lies media and politicians have fed us. Lie #1: These are only for highly specialized positions which cannot be filled by US citizens. Today I found 6 Elementary school teacher H1B visas certified in Rocky Mount, NC. And the wages are 47K-52K. I firmly believe, and I may not be convinced otherwise, that we should have no foreign nationals in our education system. @dogwoodblooms what do you think about this? Aren't there enough Citizens to teach that we don't need H1B Visa holders? I am P*ssed off.

🚨 Wow. Taxpayer-funded Ball State University disclosed it’s hiring an entry level "budget analyst" on a H-1B visa. The university has graduated thousands of finance and accounting students. But apparently ZERO are qualified for this job. It’s time to end the H-1B scam
