THAT’LL TEACH TRUMP!

Oddly, for ‘charities’ within the US (as opposed to proving benefits outside US) there is no rating of their actual utility, even at crudest level (eg $ to recipients vs management). Note: for ex-US there is.

Good thread. A broad qualitative fact I would note is that there is substantial net migration of left-wing professors from Europe to the United States.

Something I did not know until research today.... In INS v. Lopez-Mendoza the Supreme Court held that because deportation is a CIVIL proceeding, the Fifth Amendment right to remain silent does not apply. If a suspected illegal alien is asked a question but does not answer, the

Mind-blowing chart of the week here. Southern Europe has, for perhaps the first time in modern history, a lower headline unemployment rate than Northern Europe.

this is the way

You know things are bad when The Atlantic prints this sentence: "Many California policies read as if they were reverse-engineered from Republican attack ads."

Davos is basically all the people who have created the problems, denied their existence and then called us names for pointing them out... explaining what the problems are and how we desperately need to fix them.

NPR running a segment on “labor, environmentalists, social justice community groups,” trying to extort Micron’s new memory fab in NY for each of their respective objectives. Litigating every inch of progress in a crisis. 🙃🫠

“Europe is 12% world pop, 25% world GDP and 60% world welfare expenditures”. Allowance of this disconnect assumes rest of world won’t eat Europe alive.

hey question btw: why, as a reasonable human in tech who does not want to be liquidated by a marxist thug, are you advertising on the pivot pod? these people genuinely hate you, you could simply decline to give them money.

Many blame the UC Regents for banning the use of the SAT in admissions. I watched the full board meeting in the archives. The truth is many Regents supported keeping the SAT, but they were pressured away from doing so by then-UC President Janet Napolitano.

I still can't believe Lagarde actually said these words out loud: "Europe is going to do a big SWOT analysis and decide what do we need to do to be strong by ourselves." Never has there been a clearer distillation of just how ill-suited the managerial class, with their MBA

This is disgusting. This cheapens the Holocaust. It's 1940. Gestapo knocks at your door. Where are you going to wind up? No, not in a camp designed to kill you, but you're gonna get sent HOME. And, you can just go there with $1,000 in your pocket if you say "ok, I'll

The whole "just go out and vote because it's important" meme was always a lie that's predicated on the liberal belief that greater turnout objectively helps them.

You laugh, but home cooking is perhaps the final frontier in the slow death of domestic production. Few grow their own grain or spin their own cloth, and gradually, fewer are cooking their own food. There WILL be a market for apartments without kitchens.

The crazier Trump gets, the more the Dems think they can get away with their own insanity. This is the real Trump Derangement Syndrome. Voters would rather have "let's invade Greenland" than "we'll trans your kids".

The UN projection for South Korean fertility is wildly, insanely, gobsmackingly optimistic. Come on, man.

The problem is that even if you don’t want to hoard you have to go panic buy so you can restock staples before other people panic buy

it's funny, but par for the course, that this runs directly under Bel Air but there will be no station there.
