Javier Milei demonstrated that slashing regulatory bureaucracy is a solution to existential inflation. We can lower spending more easily by drastically cutting the cost of food, housing and medicine than through politically unpopular austerity, or getting a balanced budget out…
🗽🇦🇷 Su @l_Opinione commento l’alleanza tra @JMilei e @PatoBullrich in vista delle elezioni legislative di ottobre: un’inedita saldatura tra conservatori tradizionali e avanguardisti libertari che unisce la maggioranza silenziosa argentina. opinione.it/esteri/2025/07…
Degrowth is a marketing spin on the fact that the ideologues can't find a way to make WEF-plutocracy functional, so they instead pretend that the natural entropic decay of late-stage overegulated oligarchy was the plan all along.
There is no winning if our options come down to choosing between communists or fascists.
Daniel McAdams cannot find any belligerent action Milei has taken towards any country, yet he feels that he is justified in claiming that Milei is some evil character? In regards to privatizing AySA, this was a black hole utilized for corruption by previous administrations that…
I very early on exposed Milei as a charlatan and all of libertarianism attacked me. But as always I was of course right: x.com/i/spaces/1BRJj…
Mike Rowe: “We are entering the Golden Age of plumbing, steamfitting, pipefitting, welding, HVAC.” “Those jobs are not going to be impacted by AI.” “Paralegal, creative writing, coding … AI is going to come for those.” “My foundation [has] given away about $13 million in…
Six months ago yesterday, @realDonaldTrump signed my pardon papers. I got to walk free just a few hours later. Feels like a lifetime of new experiences since then. So much gratitude and joy in my new life!
Current US foreign policy is to put Israel and its regional allies in charge of the Middle East so we can focus on China. You can disagree that empowering Israel is a good idea, but there are plenty of reasons for the US gov to support Israel other than “Israel made them do it.”
Crazy Roman Catholics and Protestants argue so vociferously about who infested the Church with Commies... When the OrthoBros gave us the most murderous Communist dictator in history.
Can confirm.
The biggest thing people don’t understand about politics is how little of it is truly coordinated. The world is too complex to tie a bow around, it’s chaos out there.
Nuclear reactors are spending millions to protect you from radiation levels lower than eating a banana. This isn't safety theater—it's the 70-year regulatory nightmare that killed American nuclear power. But recent executive orders could change everything. 🧵
We need 500,000 more electricians in the next couple of years, but there remains a stigma on the blue-collar trades we desperately need. Let's make shop class great again. Check out my full conversation with the great @mikeroweworks ⬇️ bit.ly/3QHIUrC
This century has pretty much sucked so far. And I don't see it getting any better over the next thirty years or so. If you were lucky enough to live between about 1977 and 2000, especially in Seattle in the 90s I'm not sure the world will see something like that again for…
Is degrowth a 30 year globalist plot to take over the economy, or an inevitable narrative shit to defend socialisms destruction of growth? Or both as our communist overlords bumble through life?

Regulations have gotten so bad it’s cheaper and faster for the Amish to build houses without power tools than it is to go through the standard industry channels.
🚨#BREAKING: The mayor of Chimney Rock NC has confirmed that if the Amish had not shown up, the entire town would have been "a ghost town..." For months, 50 members of the Amish community have come down from Pennsylvania to Western North Carolina... EVERY SINGLE MONDAY! Unreal.
One of the best parts of Milei is you can now ratio politicians on real estate prices by pointing at Argentina, without even having to beg them to listen to your theory.
Regulatory environments are increasingly differentiating at the state level, Florida is leading the way. And a bunch of liberals are fleeing DC and driving up real estate price in NYC, which is becoming the democrats Helms Deep.
Really wild how there are two housing markets now. If you live in the northeast or Midwest, prices are rising, everywhere around you. If you live in the south or west, prices are falling, everywhere around you. And if you live in Florida, the bottom’s falling out.
The Woke Right has been doing cancel culture against conservatives for a long time already.
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.
