WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY…:
The people who created 40 Trillion in debt are angry that Elon Musk created 1 Trillion in wealth.

From the replies: “And he created immeasurable wealth for others. That’s just his share.”
SAD AND INFURIATING, BUT PROBABLY CORRECT:
i came to the conclusion that this story is so awful that we have no way to punish it. to commit to an appropriate measure of justice is beyond our willingness to do it. https://t.co/RVRyG600vn

IF THIS DOESN’T LOOK AT LEAST A LITTLE FUN, YOU MIGHT NOT BE AMERICAN:
I’ve never been to a UFC fight, but I once went to a monster truck/motocross rally in rural Maine and saw a part of America I’d never experienced before. Trump is opening the White House to those Americans and it’s awesome. If you’re offended by that you may be an elitist snob. https://t.co/g9XPRdl4YG

And since I seem to be in a Churchill-quoting mood today: “Socialism is the philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy.”
YES:
If the socialists had their way, Elon would have had his paypal profits taken and redistributed for the greater good.
The world would never have seen Tesla, nor SpaceX.
And the world wouldn't know it, because they were uncreated, and thus unseen.
Imagine the companies that…

I guess we never got there: OJ Simpson Juror: Not-Guilty Verdict Was ‘Payback’ for Rodney King.
UNEXPECTED HEADLINES: Pokémon Go players unwittingly contributed to tech with military drone uses. “A decade after the global craze for Pokémon Go peaked, an AI company has been using billions of real-world images captured by millions of players to develop navigation technologies for delivery robots and possibly military drones. That represents an intriguing but potentially discomfiting legacy for an augmented reality mobile game that has incentivized gamers to capture short smartphone videos of physical neighborhoods and landmarks.”

ANOTHER STUDY SAYS POORER, ACTUALLY: How Britain Became as Poor as Mississippi.
Britain has been left behind. The country’s output per person is now only just above that of Mississippi, America’s poorest state—and that slight lead is only achieved thanks to London. Outside the capital, in places where tourists do not visit, living standards fall well below Mississippi’s. Brits visiting the United States find that their currency has depreciated to the point where the pound today buys only about $1.35. British wages have lagged well behind those in the U.S., and also those in Germany, France, the Netherlands, Denmark; once you account for inflation, they’ve barely grown at all. Within the next decade, the typical Pole will have a standard of living equal to the typical Brit, if current trends continue.
One generation ago, Britain was a major global power; today, it is a middling one, gripped by sclerosis. Taxation is at the highest level since World War II, yet public services have deteriorated. The National Health Service, the celebrated pillar of the British cradle-to-grave welfare state, has a backlog of 6 million patients—almost a tenth of the population—waiting for treatment. The health service now has to spend more money settling maternity-malpractice claims than it does on actually providing maternity care. Many Brits can neither obtain an appointment with a publicly funded dentist nor afford a private one; in a 2023 survey, one in 10 reported doing DIY dental work, in extreme cases extracting their own teeth or gluing broken crowns back together.

IT’S TIME FOR VICTORIA TAFT’S West Coast, Messed Coast™: Hosts World Cup, and Fans From Third World Feel Right at Home! “Maybe not the U.S. as much, but el mundo is watching the World Cup, and those fans from el tercer mundo are probably thinking, as they take in the sights of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle, ‘Damn, what a s**thole country this is.’ And they’d be right.”
IT’S BIG: New Look at America’s Next Ballistic Missile Submarine. “The Columbias feature several qualitative enhancements fostered in the 5 decades since the inception of the Ohio-class, including a quieting and propulsion technology leap (including electronic input for the control surfaces), new sonar arrays and other sensor upgrades, and additional space granted by the Columbia’s larger size. Despite the Columbia’s increased size, the amount of Trident missiles aboard drops from 24 on the Ohios to 16, with the jury still out on uses for the extra tonnage.”
I’d really like to know, but those who do know can’t say.

“The trial exposed a killer. The reaction exposed an entire grievance industry that treats intimidation as a legitimate continuation of the fight once the jury has spoken.”
The fight, apparently, is over whether members of one group may murder with impunity.

THE PURPOSE OF A SYSTEM IS WHAT IT DOES: California hit by another huge fraud bombshell as thousands of claims for $4 BILLION in taxpayer-funded compensation meant for sex crime victims are FAKE, investigator says.
Los Angeles County had agreed in April last year to pay over $4 billion to settle more than 11,000 claims of sexual abuse at county-run juvenile halls, foster homes and a notorious children’s shelter.
The claims, many of which stretch back decades, came after the Golden State changed its statute of limitations to give victims who were sexually abused as minors a new window to sue.
But District Attorney Nathan Hochman claimed in a court filing on Wednesday that he believes a whopping four out of five claims for which the county is paying the largest sex abuse settlement in American history are fake, the Los Angeles Times reported.
There was even evidence that some recruiters had paid people to file bogus claims.
More:
The District Attorney’s Office has been probing the claims since November, following reports that some plaintiffs fabricated stories of sexual abuse – and sometimes were never even in custody at the facilities.
An LA Times investigation in October found nine people who claimed they were paid small amounts of cash by recruiters to sue the county, claiming they were sexually abused in juvenile halls.
They described how a network of individuals approached them on the street and incentivized them to fabricate stories of sexual abuse within the juvenile justice system in exchange for cash payments ranging from $50 to $200.
Does Sacramento do anything anymore that isn’t meant to defraud taxpayers?
BLEED OUT AND THINK OF ENGLAND:
The answer to the problem of Third World barbarians murdering UK subjects is apparently for the ruling class to hate UK subjects even harder.
