"Intellectual elites crusading for their ideological goals have, for centuries, seen children as a special target for their messages. As far back as the eighteenth century, William Godwin said that children - other people's children - 'are a sort of raw material put into our…
I was at a kid’s party last weekend hosted by one of LA’s 700+ public defenders and we were talking about California’s lenient shoplifting policy. Her position? “If rents in LA weren’t so insanely high, people wouldn’t need to shoplift.” How do we fix this way of thinking?…
Of course they are closing because of shoplifting. Retail as we know it literally cannot function without a base level of honesty widely distributed among the population.

Gen Z has more positive attitudes to socialism than capitalism, but we’re not going to fix that by just waxing eloquent about Adam Smith. We need solutions: the way to deliver affordable housing is bring down property taxes, build more homes, & cut red tape that restricts supply.
They went from “It takes a village” to “It takes a gay village” in only a decade. What’s next, a trans village?
