In case anyone was wondering: yes, having a large amount of students that don’t speak any English is extremely taxing on the money, time, and resources of the education system.

In sum: put in so many regulations that it’s impossible to be a good landlord; then we decide you’re a bad landlord; then we take your land.

For what it’s worth, Cornyn did nothing to help @FDRLST when we faced horrific censorship from the federal government. Ken Paxton helped us fight our legal battle to get the State Dept to stop sponsoring censorship of our journalism. For those who care about principles…

THE UNITED STATES IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN THE WORLD’S LARGEST ECONOMY THIS YEAR, WITH A GDP BIGGER THAN CHINA, GERMANY, AND INDIA COMBINED.

Massive, history-altering policy win, and a solid rejoinder to “what have conservatives ever achieved?” doomerism.

The United States is the world's largest exporter of natural gas — a remarkable change from decades ago, when America was dependent on the often-hostile OPEC nations for its energy needs. That's probably saved us as much as $4 trillion in the past two decades. That change is largely thanks to the "Shale Revolution," the development of fracking and horizontal drilling technology that is now responsible for 36 percent of total U.S. production. In a new @nberpubs paper, Berkeley's Lucas W. Davis uses data on gas prices in the United States, Europe, and Japan to estimate the savings generated by the Shale Revolution. The effect is obvious in the plot below: Starting in 2007, American prices diverge sharply from Europe and Japan. We're also more insulated from big shocks. He pegs the total as between $3.1T and $4.3T between 2007 and 2025. That's $164B to $227B per year — between $500 and $700 per person per year. nber.org/papers/w35245

@constans What is the motivation of government to fix and maintain properties vs owners
English
This is not a bad idea in THEORY but in practice, the sort of people who are tenants of a crumbling, mismanaged apartment aren’t going to be good coop owners of a building, and non-profits won’t have enough capital to manage the buildings, either.
Brecca Stoll@breccastoll
NOW: Mamdani says his admin will transfer ownership from bad landlords to non-profits. “For buildings that have suffered chronic neglect, we will work to transfer ownership to responsible stewards. Stewards that include community land trusts, non-profits, or even the tenants themselves.”

In 2006, I interviewed Colorado State University’s Bill Gray about climate alarmism and Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth. "In 15-20 years, we’ll look back and see what a hoax this was,” the late professor told me. He was right.

Seriously, who is buying this crap?
Bernie Sanders is worth millions.
Graham Platner grew up in a wealthy family.
Give me a break.
Graham Platner for Senate@grahamformaine
I would not be here, we would not be here, without Bernie Sanders and his long, often lonely fight. We are fighting the wealthiest people in human history, fighting the billionaire class for our right to live in dignity. The tide is turning. Right now, right here, in Maine.

@moseskagan It’s been part of popular culture for decades. The hero is always the scrappy loser who shuts things down, not the chads who make life easier

To be a businessman w a young kid is to realize how thoroughly rife our popular culture is with anti-business BS.
Like, maybe the "greedy Trade Federation" was actually just a bunch of planets seeking to benefit from comparative advantage!

@PsyopsRabbit @kevinolearytv I live near a bunch and have for years. I had to have them pointed out to me. They’ve been around forever with no issue until recently.
Congrats Nikki you’re a dummy who has fallen for ccp propaganda. Hope you’re getting paid well to undermine my country

@kevinolearytv The thing about data centers is that nobody wants to live near one. No one wants them NEAR their homes. No one really even wants them in their cities or states. They will ruin rural America. It all just seems incredibly intrusive and unnecessary imo
English
We uncovered something far bigger than I ever expected. After seeing coordinated false attacks against the Utah data center project, we brought in an advanced data science team to trace where the content was coming from and the results were shocking. What we found led back to organized networks, political activist groups, and funding trails tied to massive international entities. We dug through IRS 990 filings, tracked IP data from around the world, and uncovered what appears to be a coordinated campaign targeting energy and data center projects across multiple regions.
I shared 90 pages of evidence with federal law enforcement and raised concerns directly with contacts at the White House. This isn’t speculation. The filings, funding records, dates, and connections are documented. There’s a coordinated PR war happening around energy infrastructure and data centers, and we’re not going to ignore it.

NEW STUDY: Red-state incomes have outpaced blue-state incomes by 40% since 2000.
Researchers say lower taxes and fewer regulations are driving the gap. Meanwhile, blue states like CA, NY, and IL continue to see population flight.

Why would one think this ‘wealth’ would translate into ‘sizable tax payments’?
These people have paper fortunes, they started successful companies, they extract only a tiny proportion of that for personal consumption, and they continue to steward businesses that inflate a stock market that makes many millions of Americans (including tens of millions of public employees) very comfortable retirees.
Why would the state deserve a portion of these assets when they’ve yet to be realized? Why would you want to try to force them to liquidate their assets?
The people who run California’s government are pigs. They already have more than enough revenue to run the public sector if they were even half competent. We have a system that is working extremely well and all these people can think about is how to destroy it.
Gabriel Zucman@gabriel_zucman
One might think that such enormous wealth translates into sizable tax payments. It does not. California billionaires pay just 0.2% of their wealth in California income tax (a mere 2.4% of total California income tax revenue) on average over 2023-2025.

This era will be studied by historians.
They will struggle to figure out why the British people, whose ancestors once dominated 25% of the planet, decided that they should eliminate national pride and import millions of 3rd world primitives to replace their native population.

today, no legal system is based on the Mongols’, nobody reads ancient Mongolian books, its history inspired nothing.
Rome still exists in the Catholic Church, Civil Law, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian languages, the entire notion of a republic.
