I spent 30 years in academia. Here are my observations about my students. Toward the end, I was teaching “Gen Z." These students combined ignorance with strident moral certainty. They seemed to have had no general education at all, and lacked the most basic knowledge of history, even recent history. They were immature and emotionally fragile. Many could not handle criticism, no matter how sugar coated. It took very little to reduce them to tears – or to send them into a fit of narcissistic rage. They were shockingly bereft of intellectual curiosity, and many gave the impression of having no internal life at all. I'll share more observations later.

@catoletters 6 really - Fred Hampton & Medgar Evers. But to think of the audacity of a Gov't that would so openly assassinate is intimidating. Here we are again on the stage that was set then.

Is it too late to rescue our country? A study of 20+ years of data found that Americans have zero impact on policy. Any given bill has a ~30% chance of passing whether the public wants it or hates it. So whose interests are being served? I sat down with @joekent16jan19 - Green Beret, CIA paramilitary, former NCTC director - who resigned rather than send the next generation into another war nobody voted for. We cover: ➡️ How the Iran war got forced despite no imminent threat ➡️ Why Butler, Kirk, and crime scenes get paved over ➡️ Whether Trump is cornered or captured ➡️ Whether a political solution still exists This is the first episode of my new series. Catch new episodes every Wednesday at 9am ET. We can change by insight or by pain. Historically, most societies wait for pain. I want the first option.

@michael_david41 Too True!

🚨 Australia isn’t “struggling with housing.” We’re being systematically looted by our own central bank. The RBA’s accounting rules don’t just ignore exploding land prices, they legally reward them. $315.6 billion in fresh credit last year went to flipping existing houses. Only $98.3 billion went to building real industry. That’s not an independent central bank protecting our future. That’s the RBA conferring a death sentence on the real economy through policy. Under RBA stewardship, the Financial Ledger feasts while the Material Ledger dies.that’s its design . The RBA channels Australian wages straight to related-party banks by weaponising the very asset inflation those banks create through debt. They’ve convinced themselves, and us , that asset inflation + mass immigration is a viable national business model. It isn’t. A consumption-only economy is mathematically unsustainable. You cannot pay for imports, fund defence, or support an ageing population with nothing but rising house prices and more migrants bidding them up. Eventually the demographic cliff arrives, the pool of new borrowers shrinks, the debt bubble stops inflating, and the entire illusion collapses. No productive industry = no real income = no sovereign resilience. You end up a vassal state living on borrowed time and borrowed money. We are in a period of denial where the vast majority haven’t woken up to the fact this can’t be sustained . Folks simply look within their own circumstances and don’t question the broader issue of the economic fragility of asset inflation. And every single mainstream Australian economist supports the asset inflation cults belief system .

@Frank_Giustra The House of Pariah!

@andy_buksterlin Just who are they trying to appeal to?

@DylanRatigan So prescient! rtdna.org/murrows-famous…

@DylanRatigan E. R. Murrow's quote pops into my mind constantly, applying to nearly everything we are currently facing! "I began by saying that our history will be what we make it. If we go on as we are, then history will take its revenge, and retribution will not limp in catching up with us"

@FrankoVanz @ProudSocialist Again, we go back to the early 20th Century. I was raised in a Teamster household, as were most of my cousins. brookings.edu/articles/how-h…

@chrismartenson @TaraBull Not sustainable by any measure "Total federal receipts in fiscal year 2024 totaled approximately $4.9 trillion"

@chrismartenson @TaraBull That pales in comparison tho - When broader social programs—including Social Security, Medicare, and education—are included, total federal social spending reached $4.26 trillion in 2024.

@chrismartenson @TaraBull ~because of the loose fiscal policy ensuing"

@chrismartenson @TaraBull I'm reminded of this quote "Democracy can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury. After that, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefits with the result the democracy collapses ~

@adamtaggart @unusual_whales Half of that would have been more than adequate - cleaning, maintenance & upkeep - they all add up and eventually you'll have to hire much of that out! "Prior to 1980, the average size of a new American single-family home generally hovered around 1,000 to 1,500 square feet"
