Follow me. Rude. Politically incorrect. Over 10 years in financial industry. Everything offensive I say is obviously a joke or satire.

Between 1994 and 2017: The Democrats shifted more drastically to the Left than The Republicans shifted to the right.
The meme does have a basis in reality.
If we believe this, people who can bet on this should be throwing money at it for a 3-4x return in 2 days. I want to believe it. If I could bet on this in my state I would probably throw $1K on it. But I wouldn't throw $10K on it.

Missouri solved illegal immigration. Other states just complain.
The Show-Me State didn’t talk — it acted:
• 2008: 90% of voters made English the official language. No government services in any other language.
• Cops must verify immigration status on arrest and report illegals to the feds.
• Zero access to food stamps or Missouri HealthNet.
• No taxpayer-funded financial aid for illegals at any public college — and schools must certify compliance every year.
Result: Missouri has almost no illegals. They simply aren’t welcome, and they get nothing from taxpayers.
Arizona and others spent years grandstanding while Missouri quietly locked the door. The media ignores it because the results expose the open-border failure everywhere else.
Other states could do the same. They choose not to.

But yeah just blame solely private equity. Sure.
This is private equity, this is what it does.
Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit.
The developers at BioWare know how to run the studio. They know how to make the games we all love. They should be given the first opportunity - and the federal support - to buy it and run it themselves.
And if we want to avoid the Mass Effect effect in Canada, we should be keeping private equity out, not welcoming it in.

But did they attempt to limit the spread of content identifying the falsely accused young men? No?
Facebook, Instagram and TikTok attempted to limit the spread of content purporting to identify Cornell's Jane Doe.
But X allowed searches for the alleged name, and Grok also posted it in replies to users at least 300 times, data shows. wapo.st/4ys9maW

Incentives drive outcomes.
If you pay NGOs based on the number of homeless people they manage, they will **never** decrease the number of homeless people.
The data is very clear on this.

"You mean everything is a popularity contest starting in High School?"
"Always has been."
How fast do you think interest rates will get cut to 4% or below once Boomers start facing massive losses on their home equity?
730,000 H1Bs bein cancelled would go a long way in helping with this. We also need more financially secure Boomers to retire. Way too many over 65 with a nest egg still working preventing the shifts upwards that will free up more entry level spots.

A New York jury just awarded $2 MILLION to a young woman who underwent a double mastectomy at 16 and later detransitioned.
The jury found her psychologist and surgeon liable for malpractice.
Her case alleged that serious mental-health issues, including depression, body dysmorphia, anorexia and autism-spectrum traits, were not adequately addressed before an irreversible procedure was performed on a minor.
Now watch what happens when someone like her speaks publicly.
For years we were told regret was exceedingly rare. We were told these procedures were necessary care. We were told questioning the process itself was dangerous.
But when a detransitioner stands up and says, “This happened to me,” suddenly she becomes the problem.
That is the epistemic tell.
When evidence supports the narrative, it is celebrated.
When evidence contradicts the narrative, the person carrying the evidence gets attacked.
A jury heard the testimony. A jury examined the evidence. A jury found malpractice. And a jury put the damages at $2 million.
You don’t protect vulnerable young people by demanding silence from the ones who came back and said, “I wish someone had slowed this down.”
You protect them by listening.

Your kid needs 8 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to become a resident doctor.
High School → 4 years college → 4 years medical school → Residency
Meanwhile, someone from India, Pakistan, or Sudan can finish a 5-year program after high school, come to US on H-1B/J-1 visa, and take the same residency.
High School → 5 years medical school → Residency
Why is it easier for them to become US doctors, and so much harder for our kids?
