Talarico, 2022: Reducing meat consumption is a moral imperative and existential to save the planet. Talarico Campaign Response: Look at our guy immorally wolfing down all that meat while k*lling the planet. This is representative of what the entire campaign will be: Attempting to construct an image that is at odds with the his past positions and rhetoric.

New York Gov Kathy Hochul is begging wealthy people who have moved to Florida and Texas to come back to New York and pay taxes. 🤣 "I need people who are high net worth to support the generous social programs that we want to have in our state. Now, there are some patriotic millionaires who stepped up. OK, cut me the checks if you want to be supportive, but maybe the first step should be go down to Palm Beach and see who you can bring back home." "I have to look at the fact that we are in competition with other states who have less of a tax burden on their corporations and their individuals. And I would say remote work changed everything." "There were people who could only work in an office in Manhattan and work in New York state. And they were captives to our state, they were going to stay. We saw that that's not the case. Wall Street businesses looking at Texas, they're not going there because they have a nicer governor. They're going there because of the tax rate."

Many people, even self-described conservatives, think socialism would work if human nature were different. No. Socialism cannot work, even in a hypothetical society of selfless genius saints. Why not? Because socialism centralizes economic choices. How much lumber do we produce? How much wheat? What should the hourly wage of a garbage collector be? How much should insulin cost? How about bread? Socialists think that if you elect the right people, they will make these decisions intelligently and altruistically, and everything will be great. But it doesn't matter how smart and benevolent you are... you can't make a good decision without the right information. The Socialist Central Planning Committee, however wise or benevolent, doesn't know what's wanted, or what's available, because that information is conveyed in prices, and accurate pricing is the very thing that socialist governments wipe away with the bureaucratic pen. Capitalist networks are decentralized. They distribute decision making to where the information is. A man selling metal doesn't know anything about desks, or lumber. He doesn't know how many desks people want, or whether they should be made out of oak, or folded metal. But he does know how much it costs him to smelt iron ore into steel, and roll it into sheets. So he sets a price, and others decide whether, and how much, to buy. That price contains the information others need to decide whether steel is plentiful, and should be folded into anything you can make out of sheet metal, or is scarce, and should be saved for things that can only be done with steel, and furniture should be made out of oak, or pine, instead. Socialism works, or rather doesn't, by using the threat of force to set the prices of things, or take money from one person and give it to another. But every time this happens, critical data on supply or demand is erased... data that you need to make decisions. Individual prices are a decision, a guess at where supply and demand cross paths. But since free markets reward those who guess correctly, or copy a correct guess, aggregate prices are data on supply and demand. For a socialist central planning committee to order the manufacture of the correct number of cars, or to correctly set the price of a car, they need to know a thousand thousand thousand things about steel and aluminium, welders and assembly robots, rubber and glass and lithium batteries and copper wire, which they must gather, along with trillions of other pieces of data, from literally everyone in their entire civilization. Tesla only needs to know how much people charge them for the stuff they need. At every transaction in a captialist society, vital data is compressed into its most compact and useful form, then passed along to the adjacent step, where abundant brainpower is waiting to make decisions with it. Any defective node in the web that fails to make good decisions receives swift and automatic feedback, and either heeds that feedback or goes out of business, to be replaced by someone who will. Yes, in a capitalist system, there are many undesirable results. But capitalism doesn't create these results. It discovers them. They are inevitable consequences of the state of technology, and will persist until something is invented that changes the terrain. In socialism, no such solution is possible, because all the inherent problems you need to solve with progress are hidden from view by the far worse problems you created for yourself by separating the place where decisions are made from the place where information is known.
Handre@Handre

Mises obliterated the entire socialist project in 1920 with one devastating insight: "Where there is no free market, there is no pricing mechanism; without a pricing mechanism, there is no economic calculation." The socialists spent the next century pretending this problem didn't exist while their economies collapsed around them. And yet here we are, watching politicians promise they can "fix" healthcare, housing, and energy markets through central planning. They can't even calculate the cost of their own programs correctly — how exactly are they going to allocate resources across an entire economy? Every Venezuelan breadline, every Soviet grain shortage, every Chinese famine was just Mises being proven right in the most brutal way possible. But sure, let's try democratic socialism this time. What could go wrong?

So let me get this straight. You support the Khamanei regime that killed 38,000+ protesters and maimed hundreds of thousands more. A regime that has repeatedly called for Death to America and has killed thousands of our servicemen and citizens. One that has taken away women’s rights and freedoms for the Iranian people. And then you call our efforts to destroy the evildoers a catastrophic escalation. You also support those who attack our police force. You take the side of the criminals rather than the victims of violent actors in our city. How is it that you can’t differentiate between good and evil? Why is this so hard for you?

this is civilizational suicide: 1. 37% of illegal immigrants have a criminal conviction since coming to the US 2. there are 30m+ illegal immigrants, so this means 10m+ have committed *additional* crimes here 3. no sane society can allow this, and the public overwhelmingly supports (74%) deporting them when people are rioting against ICE, not only are they protecting these criminals, they are subverting the clear will of the vast majority of their neighbors these are such insanely large crime numbers that the average person totally underestimates how bad the problem is

"Very liberal" Americans believe 11% of deported illegal immigrants have had a criminal conviction since coming to the country--the correct answer is ~37%. "Conservative" Americans were the most accurate of all groups, though "very conservatives" overestimated the prevalence of convictions. However, if "pending" criminal charges are included with convictions, the % rises to ~66%. (See chart below). Link to correct answer: factcheck.org/2026/01/as-ice… These data come from the Immigration Attitudes and Accuracy Study (IAAS) collected from January 25, 2026, to January 31, 2026, with 2,505 American adults who speak English. All respondents passed (1) attention checks, (2) a duplication check, (3) time-to-completion checks, (4) fraud and (5) bot-identification checks.

Rock Chartrand🤑@RockChartrand·
Socialism is the fantasy that you can live off producers while simultaneously waging war on production itself. It openly concedes that producers are necessary yet treats them as morally illegitimate. Their success is framed as exploitation, their independence as a threat, and their productivity as something to be seized, regulated, or punished rather than respected. This is the core contradiction at the heart of socialism: it admits the producer is essential while denying the producer the right to exist as an end in himself. He is reduced to a means, a resource to be managed for others, not a human being with a moral claim to the product of his own effort. That is why socialism fails long before the economic consequences arrive. The collapse begins at the moral level. Once production is treated as a sin and independence as a crime, destruction isn’t an accident. It’s the logical outcome.

There are two separate list prices to end the "homeless" problem in America. One is the price if you are willing to call bums, tramps, and hobos what they are — bums, tramps, and hobos. That price is a lot less than $20 billion. The other is the price if you insist on calling bums "homeless". That price is infinity dollars. Because you can't solve a problem, no matter how much money you spend, until you understand what they problem is. If you call a guy "homeless", that means you think the problem is that he doesn't have a home. But the problem isn't THAT he doesn't have a home, it's WHY he doesn't have a home. He doesn't have a home because he is incapable of the basic life tasks you have to do so that you have one. So buying him a place to lay his head won't fix anything. It won't make him less addicted to heroin. Or less schizophrenic. Or less antisocial and unable to sustain the basic human relationships necessary to have a job or an income. The problem isn't that they don't have things. So you can't fix them by giving them things. It's that they can't do things. So what you have to do is stop giving them things so they have to fix themselves. And if they can't, you physically remove them from society so they can't bother functional people. And if you're not adult enough to be willing to do that, because you can't stand looking mean, then you're not adult enough to be trusted with $20 billion to "fix homelessness".

Cost to end homelessness in the U.S. is about $20-30 billion.

•It is reported that her mother lives in a $1.4 million home in Tennessee. •It is reported that her father lives in a $700,000 home in Rochester, New York. •It is reported that her father owns rental properties and is a landlord. •She attended elite private universities, with tuition exceeding $60,000 per year. •Her family’s stability and lifestyle were built through property ownership, private education, and capital growth. •She benefited directly from the American system of homeownership and wealth building, while advocating policies that restrict those same paths for others. •This is a clear case of good for me and my family, not for you. •A 37 year old public figure breaking down under basic scrutiny raises serious concerns about the ability to handle the pressure of participating in, shaping, and advocating policy within New York City. US homeownership rates (recent data): •Overall: ~65–66% •White: ~72–74% •Asian: ~61–63% •Hispanic/Latino: ~49–51% •Black/African American: ~45–47% Who remembers Bill Clinton during his administration, openly celebrating rising homeownership as proof the American Dream was working? These are not people who want the American Dream for you or for anyone else. Socialism is taught in theory, not lived in practice. It fails in every real world implementation, and it will fail here too, ruining lives in the process.

As someone who experienced the “warmth of collectivism” firsthand as a child, because Russian colonisers brought communism and collectivism to my very individualistic country, let’s dig into what that “warmth” actually looked like. 1. A flat or house to live in. You literally couldn’t buy one. That simply wasn’t an option. You waited for years to get housing assigned by the state. And you can already imagine the quality: quickly built blocks, or the confiscated apartments of “enemies of the people” who were shot or sent to the Gulag. The party elite got the good places. Ordinary people got a cheap Khrushchyovka with a tiny kitchen and no lift after 5–10 years of waiting. No other option. 2. Your job “for life” (whether you wanted it or not). Officially, everyone had work. In practice, you didn’t choose a career so much as you were placed into one. Want to switch? Good luck. Want to start a business? Cute. Private enterprise was either illegal, punished, or pushed into shady “don’t ask, don’t tell” territory. 3. Travel? Not for you. You couldn’t just decide to go somewhere, even within the “friendly” socialist world, without permissions. The border wasn’t a line on a map, it was a wall in your head. Want to see the West? That wasn’t a holiday plan, that was a crime plot. 4. Information was “collective” too. One TV truth, one newspaper truth, one approved version of reality. If your eyes disagreed, your eyes were “wrong.” And if you repeated what you saw out loud, you could become a “problem.” 5. The “warmth” came with a price: fear. You learned early what not to say, to whom, and where. You learned that walls had ears, and sometimes so did classmates. Collectivism works best when everyone self-censors. 6. Queues: the national sport. Food, shoes, furniture, books, washing machines, a decent winter coat. You stood in line because “they might bring something.” Planning your life around rumours about deliveries isn’t community. It’s scarcity management. 7. Quality didn’t matter, because choice didn’t exist. When there’s only one type of sausage, it doesn’t have to be good. When there’s only one brand of anything, the producer doesn’t compete for you. You compete for the product. 8. Equality was a slogan, not a reality. Officially, everyone was equal. Unofficially, some were “more equal,” and their equality came with better housing, better shops, better doctors, and better futures. 9. Collective responsibility meant individual guilt. One person messes up, everyone gets punished. One person speaks out, everyone gets threatened. It trains people to police each other, not support each other. And the punchline: they still called it “care.” Not because it was caring, but because calling it care made it harder to argue with. Tallinn occupied buy Societs.

People often say that the developing world is poor because the Western world colonized them and stole their resources. The truth, however, is that over the past century, the developing world has, for the most part, shown that they are completely incapable of harnessing their own resources. They are not poor because we stole from them. They are poor because they do not know how to run and administer their own countries, resources be damned. Take Venezuela. The world's largest oil reserves mean nothing if you have a corrupt communist as your leader. People will actually be starving and trying to eat zoo animals while you sit on trillions of dollars in resources! Africa is another example. Europeans left behind farmland, trains, roads, and mines in Africa. What happened to it all? It's not that all of a sudden, the Africans started running things like anti-colonialist activists had envisioned at the time. No, no. All the infrastructure fell into disrepair and/or was stripped down and looted. They were literally handed fully functioning, completed supply chains for resource extraction, and basically unlimited wealth, but they couldn't manage the simple upkeep. Now, the defense for Africa might be that "The Europeans didn't teach the Africans how to manage any of this! It's not the Africans' fault they couldn't run it independently! They were never trained!" But my brother in Christ, the Europeans DID try to train locals for management! Obviously it would have been easier to have at least some locals in administration, rather than having to import an ENTIRE workforce, but efforts to find African talent were largely unsuccessful. Don't believe me? Just look at the different outcomes in Hong Kong and Singapore when compared to Africa. In East Asia, Europeans often did work with locals in administrative and management capacities. When colonialism ended, Hong Kong and Singapore were able to manage themselves. Not the case with Africa. Now, none of this is to say that colonialism is good. People have the right to self-rule and seld-determination. However, the idea that colonialism and resources extraction are responsible for the developing world's ongoing poverty? That is quite simply a crock of shit.

No, they did not do the best they could given the information they had. This is probably the biggest LIE of the Covid period. No, businesses, schools, and churches did not have to to be shut down. No, they did not unwittingly force masking and distancing under the assumption these would somehow work. All of this was pure fear mongering to promote a toxic product. Everything you read to the contrary is blather. They attacked society at its root, exploiting primordial fears, in order to push mass injection of an experimental toxicant, with massive carnage. This happened and anyone who lessens the malice is part of a coverup.

You didn't do that. A generation of actual scientists years ago did that. Your generation of "scientists" became political hacks who cared more for fame, power, politics and entertainment than science. -"Two weeks to stop the spread"? -"Wuhan wet market"? -"The lockdowns can stop for BLM protests"? -"Man-made climate change"? -"Bill Nye the Science Guy"? -Anthony Fauci? -"Gender assigned at birth"? -Social justice causes masquerading as "science" funded with our tax dollars as scams? -"MIami will be under water by the year 2000"? The list goes on and on. Modern "scientists" forsook science for power. Average people now rightfully do not trust you. Do not blame us. We have very good reasons to distrust you. Look inside your own community. You did this to yourselves, and only you can fix it. End the politicization of science and maybe you can be trusted again. Maybe.

The people to fear the most are the ones who want to control how you think and what you say, for your own good, of course. It is important that we consider speech as THOUGHTS and not ACTS. If you see speech as an act that should be constrained, you have totalitarian tendencies. We must be able to express ourselves freely.
