STACY MCCAIN: Education and the Tyranny of ‘Equality:’ Do not sacrifice your children to the dogmas of democracy. “Sorry it took me 4,000 words to get down to brass tacks — GET YOUR KIDS OUT OF PUBLIC SCHOOL! — but thanks for your patience. Sometimes I just need to rant.”
RUNNING THE NUMBERS:
Elon Musk's companies employ roughly 170,000 people.
AOC drove Amazon out of New York, killing 40,000 jobs.
One creates. The other destroys.
They are not the same.

SECURITY & CIGARS: It’s Elon’s World Now.
Politicians worth hundreds of millions of dollars lecture him about giving his wealth to the government. Influencers demand that he feed the entire continent of Africa. It is only a matter of time before the ladies on The View condemn him again.
What these jealous critics miss, or perhaps understand but will not admit, is simple: hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions, of people live better lives today because of what Musk has built. One clear measure of this impact came yesterday: more than 4,000 new millionaires were created by the SpaceX IPO alone.
They don’t actually care about improving people’s lives — as evidenced by their whole course of action over years — they just regard him as a threat to their power. Which, thank God, he is.

I think possibly the best thing about Elon Musk becoming a trillionaire is how angry it makes a bunch of losers who've never built a thing in their lives.

Possibly a coincidence, but Syracuse has been regularly featured here as the home of absurd and nasty woke politics for years. Is it any wonder that so many students are fleeing south?
