Slavery is just taxation at 100%.

The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

If more politicians acted like Javier Milei, the world would be a better place.

Argentine President 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.”

“When the state calls you a taxpayer, it’s equivalent to a rapist calling his victim his girlfriend.” — Javier Milei @JMilei

@SenWarren Why don’t you guys eliminate fraud before asking for more money?

You don't need a PhD to understand why people are poor. Poverty goes away when prosperity shows up. And prosperity doesn't fall from the sky or get delivered by a UN truck.  It gets built by entrepreneurs who start businesses, hire people, and create things worth buying.  But those entrepreneurs need somewhere they can actually operate without spending half their life begging for permits and paying fees to people who produce nothing. Countries that get this right get rich. Countries that don't, stay poor.  The whole thing fits on a napkin and yet we've got entire university departments overcomplicating it.

Signs that you are NOT a FASCIST: You support smaller government, not bigger government. You support free speech, not censored or compelled speech. You support the separation of economy and state. You support private property, not public ownership.

So let me get this straight. Thomas Massie is the man who: - fought to get the Epstein Files released - spoke out against covid mandates - has a near perfect voting record - wants to decrease government spending - supports small farmers - pushes for single issue bills Yet somehow these "Conservative influencers" think HE is the fraudster? Thomas Massie has been consistent, and be is sticking to the mandate you all pretended to support up until last year. Sounds like he is the most America First member of Congress if you ask me!

.@JMilei: “I have nothing against artists. I had a rock band myself. My problem is that if you need a government subsidy to make art, you’re no longer an artist, you’re a public employee.”

If a company cannot survive without government subsidy, they should not exist.

When a luxury sells for $2,000 in one store and $8,000 in another, a trader buys the cheap one and sells it at the expensive one until the gap disappears. When a used car is priced below market, a dealer buys it, lists it higher, and the market clears. When an algorithm identifies a mispriced bond, the trade executes in milliseconds and the gap closes before most people know it existed. These are not sophisticated examples. They are the most basic mechanic of functioning markets. Now consider this: a total knee replacement in New York. Hospital: $58,000. Ambulatory surgical center six blocks away: $27,200. Same surgeon available at both. The gap has existed for a decade. It has not closed. Not because nobody noticed. Not because the data is unavailable. Because the architecture of American healthcare, designed and set by the centers for Medicare and Medicaid, makes closing it either contractually prohibited or financially irrational for the entity with the power to move volume. The watch, the car, and the algorithm are not analogies. They are the indictment.

@SenWarren If Netflix raises prices I can unsubscribe What can I do when the United States raises prices?

985 days ago, I referred Dr. Fauci to then-AG Merrick Garland. 672 days ago, I referred him again. 254 days ago, I sent my referral to Pam Bondi. Still no response from DOJ. At this rate, accountability is optional—and Americans deserve better.

Incredible economists you should become familiar with: - Javier Milei - Ludwig von Mises - Milton Friedman - Friedrich Hayek - Murray Rothbard - Walter Block - Thomas Sowell - Henry Hazlitt - Per Bylund - Jesús Huerta de Soto - Carl Menger - Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk - Lawrence Reed

I've never seen anyone make this Bitcoin argument before: People see Bitcoin as a replacement for fiat. But what if you flipped it around? What if fiat was the replacement for Bitcoin? Imagine Bitcoin is the monetary standard. It’s the money that’s been normal since birth. Decentralized. No one controls it. Can't be inflated. Runs on math and energy. Same rules for everyone, no exceptions. Now someone walks in and pitches you a replacement: "We're going to let a small group of bankers and politicians control the money supply. They can print as much as they want, whenever they want. It'll lose purchasing power every single year. And if you don’t play by their rules, they’ll fine you, penalize you, or throw you in jail.” Would you opt in? Would anyone? The only people that would opt in are the bankers and politicians, the same people who decided that fiat would be money in the first place. Think about that. You never had a choice. You were never given a vote. It was only up to them. Fiat — by decree. The fiat system goes back over 100 years — and central banking goes back even further. That system has entrenched itself into society. It’s created economic schools around its ideas. It’s built entire industries around profiting from it. And it’s made itself the default so no one thinks to question it. Bitcoin is not the crazy idea. Fiat is. It’s just been running so long that people have normalized it, so when an alternative monetary system pops up, people call it crazy. When you flip the script and view the world from the Bitcoin lens, the ridiculousness of fiat becomes obvious. Simply stated... If Bitcoin had come first, nobody would agree to fiat.

Boomers in 2030: ok, you were right about Iraq and Iran, and frankly everything in between, but this war with Turkey is really necessary
