Under current law, the preferential treatment for people with a strong work ethic and for smart, bold optimists exacerbates income and wealth disparities; the solution is to destroy wealth incentives and make our country look more like the third world where most are equally poor.

The alternative for the wealthy and usually talented ppl this impacts is to leave it in a bigger company you started years ago to compound there, or to reallocate it to new higher growth companies that you work to bring about. Which choice do you think is better for the country?

Bullish the young generation.
The left pretends to be the party of data and science, then suggests insane things like Biden’s massive capital gain tax hike. Here is your periodical reminder that this is a terrible idea for a long list of quantitative reasons - and would ultimately hurt the poor the most.

I remember thinking and saying it was very likely this came from the Wuhan lab, getting pushback for “disinformation”, then dropping it. Like the implications of different median IQ of cohorts, society is irrational and dumb about many aspects of reality. Good to see the recap.

🧵THREAD🧵 Do you remember how bad the media’s “Covid lab leak” - the hypothesis that the virus came from a lab - coverage was? I thought I did. But it was a more dramatic example of uniform media malpractice than even I remembered. So I revisited it. Buckle in, it’s long. ⤵️

climate activists sure seem to spend a lot of time advocating for very specific forms of non-action. always "someone has to do something!" followed by "wait not that!" the most insidious form of climate denial is actually the belief that we can't solve the crisis with tech. 1/4
The most insidious form of climate denial is no longer, "It's not happening," but the belief that incremental or tech solutions will solve this crisis. 1/6

In a second term the Biden camp wants to tax unrealized capital gains in an effort to close the racial wealth gap. Taxing unrealized "gains" from White folks doesn't make Black folks more prosperous - its just a bogus and un-American excuse for confiscation.
@cvpayne This administration is trying to seduce their constituency. They seem apoplectic about dwindling support among blacks and, well, everybody else. This is where one of those old-timey mottos resonates: "You can't fool all the people all the time."
