What part of this👇do @SFGov's and CA's leaders not understand at this point? The common sense required is De minimis, yet lacking for years of delusional, Leftist experimentation. #OustProgSupes #DepowerPoliceCommish #ModifyProp47 #ModifyPropC #SweepEncampments #DisruptDealers
8 months ago, San Francisco had 4x the overdose death rates than the rest of California. The explanation? We allow it. Lax enforcement of organized drug dealing, street camping, and a radical interpretation of harm reduction. The perfect storm. sfchronicle.com/projects/us-dr…
"You must distinguish between being pro-Free Enterprise, which I am, and pro-Business, which I am not. Those are two different things. "The reason I am pro-free markets on a political level, is primarily because I believe the problem in this world is to avoid a concentration of…

Closing the Muni deficit starts with basics: suspend all new "traffic calming" projects, lay off planning staff, end taxpayer funding for lobbying orgs like the Bike Coalition, issue an RFP for autonomous shuttles on cut lines, and license all bikes in SF to fund infrastructure.
Economics nerditry (most can ignore this bleet): Interest is growing in the old Hirschman-Herfindahl Index, a measure of share concentration often used in antitrust cases that can be applied to global trade. One observation of the index is that global economic trading power,…
Rand Paul, interesting as always.👇
The Fed has paid $188B to banks NOT to loan money, 40% of that is going to foreign banks. It’s losing money while micromanaging rates. I explained why it’s time to rethink the entire system with @LarryKudlow.
An incendiary takedown of the ethnic studies BS, in @TheVOSF👇. Read this👇, and forever more be skeptical of bold, expert-based assertions that don't make basic sense. Think critically. thevoicesf.org/evidence-for-e…

Earlier this year @SFUnified public schools (deficit: $114M) tried to sneak in a "grading for equity" policy that made 41% a passing grade. I requested the public records around the policy. Dep. Supe. Karling Aguilera-Fort (salary: $385k) had approved a $182k consulting gig to…

"While the world fixates on Donald Trump’s populist cocktail of reciprocal tariffs and big, beautiful deficits, @JMilei is delivering a man-made miracle that should gladden the heart of every classical economist and quicken the pulse of all political libertarians." 1/5
The excruciatingly obvious that must still be demonstrated repeatedly👇, rejection of which tells you when biases are essentially religious rather than logical or evidence-based. Clinging to Leftist nonsense might give one a psychic kick, but it's still nonsense.
Does increased minimum wage lead to fewer jobs? Why do so many not understand basic economics? "Last year California super-sized its minimum wage to $20 an hour for employees at big quick-serve restaurant chains, and new research confirms that Sacramento did not repeal the basic…
The world's largest sovereign wealth fund using AI: Time saved, returns improved.👇. "...revealed a critical insight: ...portfolio managers were making predictable behavioral decisions that impacted returns...The fund was experiencing losses due to cognitive biases..."
BREAKING: Norway's $2 trillion wealth fund ran a 12-month AI experiment. They gave Claude access to their entire investment workflow. Result: 213,000 hours saved. 20% productivity boost. But what they found hiding in the data changed everything: A Thread 🧵
We successfully terminated funding for High-Speed Rail, and now Gov. Newsom has filed a frivolous lawsuit trying to reverse our victory. Imagine wasting taxpayer dollars on a suit to perpetuate the biggest waste of tax dollars in U.S. history.
Unforgiveable. Read this post and reflect on both the profound failure and the obvious ideas to repair👇

I just received notice from @ChubbNA that they are unwilling to renew insurance for my home in California. Markets fail when price ceilings prevent markets from clearing. The CA government's complete mismanagement of its insurance industry is leading to this widespread failure…
Breaking 🚨🇦🇷 | Historic Gains for Argentine Workers as Salaries Outgrow Profits as Share of GDP
Trump gives Lindsey Graham his “complete and total endorsement” while going after Thomas Massie, the most principled and honest person in Congress. Not only should we not fire Thomas Massie, we need to hire a few hundred more just like him and send the neocons and NPCs packing.
Despite a recent $750k taxpayer subsidy, the shelves at Kansas City's government-run grocery store are "almost bare." It also lost $885k last year and is, unsurprisingly, hemorrhaging customers.
