Pope Leo XIV: "God rejects the prayers of leaders who start wars."

I am so confused.
How in the world did "the violent left" assemble 8 million people in over 3,000 locations across the country without a single incident of violence?
No one even assaulted a police officer
I was told the left were violent and hated America. What gives? 🤯

A brilliant statistician who spent 50 years studying why massive engineering projects fail realized one terrifying truth:
Individual incompetence is almost never the actual problem.
His name is W. Edwards Deming, the man who famously rebuilt Japan's post-war manufacturing empire from scratch. He argued that we obsess over individual performance and completely ignore the environment.
Here are 4 operational frameworks he used to build elite, failure-proof organizations:

@mrmikeMTL It didn't. The media gives you bad news because that keeps your attention and that is how they make billions. Life is better and easier than ever and improving at the fastest rate in history.

If business leaders could hire women and save 30%, theirs would be the businesses dominating the market with huge profits simply because they only hire women. No one would hire a man and pay 30% more for the same thing.
It's always easier to blame someone else than it is to look at what you can do to achieve more. Maybe try that. Strive and suffer, give up your time with family, take risks. Push, push, push like a man.

“In engineering, you are peer reviewed by reality”. From Rory Sutherland, in this week’s Spectator.

@oreomints111 @Bigqadi It makes more difference which specialty than which sex. But, women need to be taught negotiating skills.

@Kiradavis Saving companies leaves old, decrepit countries taking up space. The internet was fresh and new, there wasn't regulation, that's why it thrived and grew so much.

You can draw a direct line from the 9/11 airline bailouts to now. Airlines stopped trying once they realized the government would always keep the majors afloat.

Flight delayed on tarmac. Missed our connection. Based on the other flights available, which were also delayed, and the fact that taking a flight tomorrow would require getting back into a security line stretching seemingly for miles, we decided to get a car and drive five hours to our destination. That’s how bad air travel is right now. Driving is faster. Air travel is awful in this country. People don’t realize just how much it sucks unless they have to do it a lot. It’s not just TSA. Flight delays. Air traffic control issues. Service is even worse than usual. Every airport is crowded and slow and worn down and dirty. Everyone brings their dogs. The term “service animal” doesn’t mean anything anymore. Air travel used to be luxurious. People used to wear suits. Working for an airline was prestigious. The employees took it seriously. It sucks now. It’s terrible. This is the kind of thing our leaders should be fixing. Because the most frustrating thing is that it is so eminently fixable. If only anyone bothered to try.

@jmdenouden @Kiradavis You could take money to treat autistic children, and kick back some money to get parents to sign up their children.

@Kiradavis How do I start a business that the government will bail me out of if I fail? I need the tutorial because I clearly have been doing life all wrong.

@MattWalshBlog 5 hours is very marginal in the best conditions. Leave home 3 hours before flight. Flight time 1 hour. Better to drive.

This is how we lose the 21st century to China.

The US has canceled hundreds of millions in science grants and driven thousands of Ph.D.s out of the federal workforce. China, meanwhile, has poured evermore resources into its research efforts. If they pass us as a scientific superpower, we shouldn't act surprised. theatlantic.com/science/2026/0…

You forgot:
-Price fixing (e.g rent control)
-Theft (wealth confiscation, nationalization of companies)
-Packing the Supreme Court (end of Democracy)
-Unlimited, special party power
-Banning of opposing views
-Confiscation of firearms
Just like Chavez and Castro, admired by Democrats.

The word "communist" has lost all meaning in MAGA world. Let's fix that.
What communism actually is:
• State ownership of ALL means of production
• Abolition of private property
• No free markets
• Single-party authoritarian rule
What US Democrats actually support:
• Capitalism with regulations
• Private property rights
• Free markets with safety nets
• Multiple parties, free elections
Communist parties in US Congress: 0
Socialist parties in US Congress: 0
Democratic Socialists (Bernie-style): ~5 out of 535
The Democratic Party would be center-right in most of Europe. Biden and Harris are capitalists. Always have been.
But you call everything you don't like "communism" because:
1. You can't define it
2. You never learned political science
3. Fox/OAN/Newsmax told you scary words = Democrats
4. You're in a cult that requires an enemy
"Do your own research" means YouTube videos.
"Communist" means "thing I don't like."
"Patriot" means "person in my cult."
The states with the worst education rankings vote the most Republican. That's not a coincidence.

This is very important: You are not paid for your value. You are paid the same or less than your employer's next best alternative. In the case of a teacher or nurse, the next teacher or nurse in line will take the offer that you refuse. There are plenty of people ready and willing to be a nurse or a teacher. Choose a job that has less people able and willing to do it. Like, try electrical engineering or data scientist. Tip: pick a field where math is important because not enough people can do high-level math.
English
people say "women are not paid less, they just pick empathy careers." ok.!!! but who decided nursing and teaching are worth less? like we will pay a sales guy 150k to move numbers around, but pay a nurse pennies to literally keep people alive, or give a teacher crumbs and wonder why future generations are failing every test. it is not that empathy based work is less valuable it is that we’ve normalized underpaying it because it’s "women’s work."

@ThomasSowell Climate Change is real and not an emergency. It will never be prevented because no one will vote to make their life more expensive and less comfortable. We will end up paying to mitigate the effects. Bernie is an old communist.
English
Bernie Sanders: "There are some people who think climate change is a hoax. It ain't a hoax…"
Joe Rogan: "I think the climate change issue is very complicated… There's a lot of money involved in this whole climate change emergency issue…"

@compliantvc 47k EUR = $54k USD, less than half of the US pay. What does he pay for his tiny flat per month, and is it in the Randstad?
English
My friend in the Netherlands works as a data scientist
Makes €47k per year
Lives in a stunning one bedroom flat
Owns a bicycle debt free
Free healthcare and child care from the government
Can vacation anywhere he wants in Belgium or Northwest Germany twice a year
Does anyone have it better than Europeans?

@FirstStrike786 @PramilaJayapal They already paid tax on that money. Thou shalt not steal. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wealth. Go screw thyself.

@PramilaJayapal If billionaires pay 2% wealth tax, then we can achieve universal child care, student debt relief and affordable housing for millions of Americans.

In the richest country in the history of the world, why the hell do we allow billionaires to pay a lower tax rate than public school teachers?
That's not an accident. That's a policy choice.
Tax the rich.

Radical progressives often think this is the richest country in the history of the world. It’s not. It has rich people and corporations, but financially illiterate politicians have pushed the country to the brink of financial ruination.
Progressives don’t even know who pays the taxes and that 50% pay no meaningful taxes at all.

Happened to walk through a "No Kings" protest yesterday. Very old, very white. Lots of silly signs that made no sense. No real message; generalized anti-Trump sentiment. It's basically just liberals upset that their party holds very little power for now. Mobilizing for midterms.
