16 years ago, the EU and US economies were neck and neck.
Today, the US economy is 50% larger than the entire EU combined.
Here's the devastating truth behind Europe's ongoing economic suicide 🧵:

"It seems to me that the real perversion of socialism is not to be found in the topsy-turvy economic theories that fascinated Marx, nor in the theories of social justice proposed by thinkers like John Rawls. The real perversion is a peculiar fallacy that sees life in society as one in which every success is someone else's failure. According to this fallacy, all gains are paid for by the losers. Society is a zero-sum game, in which costs and benefits balance out, and in which the winners' winning causes the losers' loss."

Critics of wealthy cabinet picks and nominees miss the point: capitalism and meritocracy reward achievement, not penalize success. Calling this a kleptocracy ignores the alternative—a system where "success" is redefined by bureaucratic mediocrity. Onward!!

Bizarre to have witnessed two presidents compared to "Hitler" in my lifetime—first Bush and his VP Cheney (w Cheney blamed for war and torture), and now Trump. But the left has forgiven Bush / Cheney. Especially Cheney. The political landscape has taken a wild turn.
In office for 6 years, @Liz_Cheney was hardly a powerful congresswoman. More accurate to describe her as a strategic fundraiser with a powerful PR team #LizCheney
Our latest episode features Andrew Abela and his new book Superhabits: The Universal System for a Successful Life - its a great episode !!

Wokeness is a liberatory movement for midwits.
It gives them *moral authority* over people who are smarter and more talented than they are.
The power to scold is a major reason why wokeness became so popular.
