"What do I owe society?", asked the guy in the green.
“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?”
Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

Far left interferes. Calls him Hitler. Organized protests.
Media portrays it that way.
What part of my statement here is not true?

The plan: scare & harass conservatives from participating in politics and government. Run you out of the public square. And re-open the gates to unfettered, anti-Western mass migration. That’s their plan.

Crazy to think that 25 years ago this was done to show just how insane the Muslim world was, and today this kind of thing could actually happen unironically.

Should we simply default on the debt, wiping it off our books and starting fresh?
Here are some side effects of defaulting: Banking crisis, federal government credit rating collapse, higher interest rates and borrowing costs, end of dollar as dominant currency, capital flight, stock and bond market crashes, economic depression and global contagion, hyperinflation, spending cuts to social security and defense and other essential programs resulting from inability to borrow, social and political unrest, trade wars and retaliatory measures, geopolitical shifts and war, and reduced investment in the US economy as a result of lower confidence.

NGOs have claimed that El Salvador's crackdown isn't worth it because a few hundred gangsters have died while in prison.
However, the crackdown has averted far more homicides than criminals have died in prison as a result, so this argument doesn't hold water.
My latest article is about El Salvador.
The country has become safe--I've rigorously documented that and shown that every objection falls flat--but will that lead to growth?
Will El Salvador become rich?

These people are so dishonest/retarded man. The issue isn't that Mark Zuckerberg would have been deterred. The issue is that Peter Thiel wouldn't have $500K lying around to invest in a pre-revenue company. These people really want to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
“The idea that Mark Zuckerberg was sitting in his Harvard dorm room and would have been deterred from starting Meta if the capital gains tax rate was slightly closer to the ordinary income tax rate strikes me as categorically absurd,” argues @NatashaRSarin, professor of law at Yale Law School.

“Don't think for a second that because you are an alarmist that you are doing a social good.”
This sentence is just devastating for so many intellectuals who need everybody to presume that they’re “the good people”

Businesses are forced to comply with a gazillion regulations crafted by big business lobbyists.
We have to put corn in gasoline, for God’s sake.
But the minute businesses might be forced to employ Americans, the cries of “FREE MARKETS!” fly into the sky like a horde of locusts
With all due respect, Mr Vice-President @JDVance, businesses must be free to hire and fire as they need, subject to the demands of the rule of law. Absent that freedom, the dynamism and prosperity that creates jobs in the first place will soon disappear.

And it is a sucker bet that qualified immunity will prevent any lawsuits over this.
If the police want to use Flock or any other type of surveillance and AI use, let them put every penny of their pension, bank accounts, and homes up as collateral.
NEW: Florida woman gives emotional testimony about being placed in solitary confinement for more than 3 days after a Flock camera falsely connected her vehicle to a deadly crash:
"Correctional officers told me I had to stay there because of the severity of my charges... The cell door was shut and it was not open for approximately 86 hours."
“I was terrified. I was facing the possibility of spending the rest of my life in prison for a crash I knew that I had not been involved in."
"At my lowest point, I didn't want to be alive.”
Lindsey Isaacs spent nearly 2 weeks in maximum-security jail before the charges were dropped.
