Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress. The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely. Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on. The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors. Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

Whether the alleged Epsom rape gang turn out to be illegal migrants living in the town’s asylum hotel or not the fact is we have a huge problem with young men from misogynist countries. They come ashore and they want sex. They see white girls as easy prey. If they’re caught they often claim they didn’t know it was illegal to kidnap and rape. Because of their culture. There are tens of thousands of these men and, even if their asylum claim is rejected, they are rarely deported. They just get a letter telling them they should leave. Yes, really. It is a scandal that successive governments have put the human rights of illegal migrants above the right of British women and girls to be safe in their own country. The fact that asylum lawyers game the system encouraging their clients to say they’re gay or Christian or at risk for political views is not news, BBC. Men get off the boats and head to their country’s embassy in London and take pics of themselves “protesting” outside so they can claim they risk jail if they’re sent back. Asylum caseworkers do their best. But they have to hit targets so the government can boast the backlog is coming down. It is easier to grant than reject. To meet a pledge by Rishi Sunak police and terrorism checks were suspended for a period. It’s that bad. Caseworkers have a maximum of 2.5 hours to check an asylum claim. The applicant will be fully aware of how weak the system is and will lie. When the first lie fails they get a chance to try again with a new lie. These men are often aggressive about their rights and know exactly what freebies and health appointments they’re entitled to. If they mug us it’s because we’re mugs. Most British people don’t want to be idiots taken advantage of by calculating opportunists. We don’t want to read another story about a 12- or 13-year-old dragged off a street and raped. The useless authorities try to cover up how useless they are by suddenly finding police to manhandle protesters. Where were the police when the girls were being raped? We are fast reaching breaking point. We are familiar with the lies and evasions. We will not be intimidated out of protecting our own daughters when the authorities have put them in danger. I don’t know what will happen in Epsom. But if the police and government try to hide the consequences of their failed border policy from the people soon there will be hell to pay. Frankly, how dare they? Our girls come first.

Give A Shit About Nature
Give A Shit About Nature@giveashitnature·
Vulture populations in India collapsed. 500,000 people died as a result. In the 1990s, Indian farmers started using a cheap painkiller called diclofenac on their cattle. When vultures ate the carcasses, the drug destroyed their kidneys. Without vultures, cattle carcasses rotted in fields instead of being stripped clean in 45 minutes. Feral dog populations exploded by five million. Rabies cases surged. Pathogens spread through water supplies. University of Chicago economists compared death rates in districts that used to have vultures to districts that never did. Human mortality rose more than 4% after the collapse. Over 100,000 extra deaths a year. Half a million in five years. India banned the drug in 2006. The vultures still haven't recovered. This is what a keystone species is to us. This is why we protect the animals nobody finds cute.

What do a demolished building, a dental office, and an immigrant hub have in common? In Michigan, they’re all billing Medicaid, and you’re paying for it. I went chasing a lead, all I found was the demo team eating lunch. That crew sent me chasing a story that found $118M billed by 21 dissolved businesses across the state. The demolition site became the blueprint I needed to follow the money. 🧵🇺🇸

Rep. Ilhan Omar filed documents with Congress saying her wealth was between $6 million and $30 million. Now she says that was a mistake, and her wealth is actually between $18,000 and $95,000. That's quite a difference. From @WSJ: wsj.com/politics/polic…

@WallStreetApes It was supposed to provide rest space, e-bike battery charging, and minor repairs. Instead, it’s a $1 million glass-and-metal box that’s currently sitting there doing nothing because basic infrastructure (power hookup) still isn’t resolved.

@WallStreetApes Hey, this is cool. Delivery workers can also buy cheap, illegal, dangerous e-bikes and then trade them in for new "Mercedes quality" e-bikes - and the taxpayers are buying! Taxpayers are so generous. thecity.nyc/2025/06/12/e-b…

Homeless people are using dogs to test drugs for them on Skid Row in Los Angeles, California. Non-profit group Starts With One Today says dogs are being abused, thrown away, sold for drugs, neglected, and fed drugs to make sure there is no fentanyl. Animal advocates are ripping Mayor Karen Bass and other elected officials for not taking enough action. “We’re coming out here, risking our lives to help these dogs with no support from the government,” said volunteer Joey Tuccio.

😡 83-year-old retired kindergarten teacher Eleanor Doney was peacefully raking leaves in front of her Pickering home. A 14-year-old boy walked up, chatted with her for two minutes… then pulled a knife from his briefcase and stabbed her in the neck. She staggered, tried to run to her house. He chased her down and stabbed her in the back, neck, and REPEATEDLY in the face. 8 stab wounds total. She was left twitching on the sidewalk. Court heard he had an “urge to kill,” was obsessed with serial killers, psychopathy, and stabbing techniques. Suspended from school the day before for bringing a knife. He just pleaded guilty to 1st-degree murder. But because he’s a “youth,” his name is protected under the Youth Criminal Justice Act… and the Crown & defence are jointly asking for the maximum sentence of just 10 years. An 83-year-old grandmother slaughtered in cold blood on her own lawn… and this is “justice”? This is why Canadians are terrified in their own neighbourhoods. When does the madness stop? #PickeringMurder #YCJAreforms #ToughOnCrime

@JustJenRX @nickshirleyy Why would politicians who are supposed to be protecting taxpayer money not want investigative journalists finding fraud? Why would politicians side with the criminals? Every politician who voted for this should have a very in depth IRS audit...

Murder registry is a good idea from Elon. People should know if they are close to a murderer so proper precautions can be taken.

Ricky Gervais on 60 Minutes Makes a Crystal-Clear Case for Free Speech He put it perfectly: the great thing about freedom of speech is that I can say what I want, and you can say you're offended, and I get to decide whether I care or not. Because let's be honest, there's nothing you can say that someone, somewhere won't find offensive. That's why blasphemy laws are so absurd, they're basically trying to protect an all-powerful deity from having its feelings hurt. At the end of the day, we should be free to criticise any idea. Just because you're offended doesn't automatically mean you're right. Spot on, Ricky. Free speech isn't about never upsetting anyone, it's about the right to speak anyway.

Let that sink in. The UAE, a Muslim-majority country, will not fund its citizens to study in the UK due to concerns they are being radicalized by Muslim Brotherhood Islamists on British campuses.
