THIS MUST BE WHY LEFTISTS HATE THEM: McDonald’s Abundance Serves the World. “In 1948, entry-level workers were earning around 66 cents an hour. A 19 cent cheeseburger would cost them around 17.4 minutes. Today they’re $1.99 and entry-level food service workers are earning $18.67 an hour, putting the time price at 6.4 minutes. The time price has dropped by 63 percent: You get 2.7 cheeseburgers today for the time price of one in 1948.”

ILYA SHAPIRO INCITES VIOLENCE BY BEING SO HATED BY LOSER LEFTISTS: NYU law school cancels speech about cancel culture at elite law schools.

Legal scholar Ilya Shapiro will not be allowed to give his speech about cancel culture and wokeness at elite law schools after New York University’s law school refused to facilitate a room and security for the event.

Shapiro planned to discuss his book “Lawless: The Miseducation of American Elites,” which discusses various cancel culture incidents at American law schools, including his own.

However, NYU law school canceled the event, scheduled for October 7, due to security concerns. Oct. 7 is the two-year anniversary of when Hamas terrorists attacked innocent Israeli citizens. Shapiro is Jewish and supports Israel.

Shouldn’t be wearing that short skirt, Ilya.

IT’S A SCAM: To Take Down the NGO Industrial Complex, Start with ‘Nonpartisan’ Voter Registration. “Despite IRS rules prohibiting charitable groups from engaging in partisan electioneering, it’s an open secret that a small army of voter registration nonprofits operates as an extension of the Democratic Party. In 2020, a Democrat Super PAC called Mind the Gap sent a memo advising megadonors that the largest of these ‘charitable’ groups, the Voter Participation Center (VPC) and the Everybody Votes Campaign (EVC), were ‘4 to 10 times more cost-effective than the next best alternative’ for ‘netting additional Democratic votes.'”

JOSH BLACKMAN REPORTS: Starlink WiFi in the Air is a Game Changer. “United Airlines is installing Starlink WiFi on its fleet. Today, my flight from Indianapolis to Houston has Starlink. It is an absolute game changer. I had download speeds in excess of 250 Mbps, and upload speeds of nearly 30 Mbps. When I have a flight, I deliberately schedule activities that do not require accessing the internet, as connectivity may be slow or non-existent. But now with Starlink, I can do anything in the air that I could do on the ground.”
