Love this statement. But gosh, what a sad progression. Let's turn this around!

The labs are afraid of losing market share if they slow down so they naturally want to offload the burden of liability. Privatize the gains and socialize the losses.

The best way to pace the frontier is to hold the labs fully liable for the behavior of their models.

For the first time in 123 years, Argentina has achieved a sustained fiscal surplus without being in default. We are one of only 5 countries in the world in this position. LONG LIVE FREEDOM, DAMN IT...!!!

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements. Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service. JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes. The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%. For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%. Warren said no. She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024. Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year. Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug. 510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December. 14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight. And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms. Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back. 40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market. And the math ain’t mathing. Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%. That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.” So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money? Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years. Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do. Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.” A win. 14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight. And she’s taking credit. This is socialism in 2026. A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company. She saved you a billion on imaginary paper. She cost you ten times that in real life. She didn’t protect consumers from anything. 14,000+ will go from working to welfare. She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed. Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything. She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

Here’s a stocking stuffer: libertarianism.org/articles/… Mandeville lists 6 ways government distinguishes itself from robbery. It is on points #3, #4, #5 that we perceive a breakdown, collapsing the distinction between our putative governments into stationary banditry, to use Mancur Olson’s term.

Anti-capitalists apparently now consider making inexpensive food an “evil of capitalism”
25% of all cakes sold in the US come from Walmart, & they'll decorate a million cakes during May/June alone. Cake decorators earn $19.25/hr on avg (often more). Cakes are 1/2 the price of those from a bakery (often cheaper). Ofc, "critics" are VERY MAD abt this online.

Yet another government mandate for use of the RealID starts today. Here is why you should not be happy about this: "REAL ID obliterates the idea of freedom of travel, which is why it should be abolished."
