You know what to do people. Let’s flood X with this.

The forever K is here...
1. Food banks have record demand. Michelin tables have never been harder to book.
2. Robotaxis and AI made chauffeurs and assistants almost free. So status moved to what software can't make: a $180M Van Gogh hits Sotheby's next month.
3. Ten stocks are 40% of the S&P 500. The other 490 are along for the ride.
4. Homes under $1M are a buyer's market. Over $5M, it's a seller's market.
5. Delta now makes more from the front of the plane than the back.
6. Spirit is dead. Private jet flights just hit an all-time high.
7. Hotels are either Motel 6 or the Four Seasons. Marriott is the new Motel 6.
8. Subprime auto delinquencies are at a record. Porsche wants to be Ferrari.
9. Applebee's is running ads saying it's cheaper than McDonald's.
10. Chipotle gave up on everyone under $100K and kept the $20 burrito crowd.

J’ai entendu dire que la France était finie, qu’il était trop tard pour la sauver.
Mais la France est toujours aussi belle, enviable même. Sa grandeur n’a pas disparu, elle ne demande qu’à renaître.
Nous avons surmonté en un an un problème cent fois plus grave, sans avoir les moyens dont dispose la France.
La France pourrait y arriver en une semaine.

Western liberals imported the third world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility. They were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen.
I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.
And I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country.

This is what happens when multiculturalism, open borders, soft-on-crime policies, and systems that teach people to resent their country’s history collide

France survived the Germans in two world wars.
Japan survived nuclear bombs.
No one survives third world immigration.

She does seem upset, but that’s probably because there’s no one from Cato Institute there to remind her that rebuilding from all this will have significant economic benefits.

Illegal immigration was a very expensive jobs program for teachers unions. Now they've lost some of the illegals plus the Americans who withdrew for private school because their local schools no longer educated them among their peers, but instead became more like refugee camps.

I particularly like the Iron Restoration Act.

"Trump’s partial success in sustaining substantially lower immigration for nearly two years remains, for now, an anomaly in the Western world."

I know that every time I'm in the hospital for 2 weeks with the flu so bad I can't even pick up the phone...the doctor always tells me "first thing you should do when you walk outta here is go to a dusty outdoor music festival in 95 degree heat with 75,000 people."
Miraculous!

California has tech. NY has finance. But apart from these flagship industries everything else is in these states is decaying and entropic. (Maybe aside from the luxury real estate sector.)
The biggest growth sector is one form or another of fraud: Either bilking entitlements for fake services or having Medicaid hire you to hang out with your grandparents.
It’s hard for Hochul and James to do anything about this because a large and growing proportion of their constituencies is dependent on various forms of fraud. Fraud has become normative. Once fraud becomes endemic and a necessary part of the economy, politicians, the government, and the institutions can’t do anything about it and get locked into a death spiral.
That’s why California is devouring its tech sector and NY is chasing away billionaires: there are no brakes or central governing intelligence in a political economy that is now primarily parasitic, they can’t even moderate to avoid killing the host.

In France there is a new activity that the Left is getting their knickers in a twist about.
Le Canon Français is running massive banquets. For about £70 you can have great food and drinks and spend time singing patriotic songs.
The “Far Left” is furious.
LFI says it has evidence of racist chanting, and of immigrant staff being insulted. With pork regularly on the menu, they say the feasts are purposely designed to exclude Muslims and vegetarians.
Meanwhile, everyday people who love France, love food and beer are having the time of their lives.

That feeling when your knowledge about how average IQ varies with caste rank in India stops being peculiar arcana and suddenly becomes deeply relevant to US domestic politics...
Anybody who has studied the matter knows that castes in India have been maintaining almost perfect endogamy for thousands of years. About the only significant category of exceptions is that if you have an exceptionally beautiful daughter you *might* succeed in getting her taken as a concubine by a higher-caste man, so their offspring might jump a rank.
With no significant gene flow between jatis, divergences in important traits like IQ and time preference not only don't smooth out, but actually amplify due to genetic drift and differing selective pressures.
Highest-caste Indians have an IQ distribution a lot like Europeans. Low-caste Indians...don't. They're not quite as genetically handicapped as the dimmest populations in sub-Saharan Africa, thankfully, but the spread is wide.
This doesn't mean all low-caste Indians are stupid; Gaussian distributions don't work that way. It does mean that importing 10,000 low-caste Indians has very different implications for the host society then importing 10,000 Brahmins.
Segue to the recent news stories about American families getting killed by illiterate Indian truck drivers doing crazy stupid things on the roadways. Those truck drivers are not Brahmins.
This is a recent phenomenon because, until one of our political parties decided to import the entire Third World for vote-farming purposes, we were cream-skimming India. Now we're not, and this makes a serious difference.
