Lower home ownership costs by slashing property taxes. Lower electric bills by producing more energy. Lower house prices by building more housing. Lower inflation by cutting excess government spending. This is how we make the American Dream affordable & Ohio will lead the way

If you insert enough socialism in capitalism but keep calling it capitalism, people get fed up with the problems socialism causes but blame capitalism and then turn socialist.

Peter Thiel: If you graduated in 1970 with no student debt, compare that to the millennial experience: too many people go to college, they don’t learn anything, and they end up with incredibly burdensome debt. Student debt is a version of this generational conflict that I’ve…

The reason government programs are so inefficient is that, unlike a commercial company, the feedback loop for improvement is broken, because they have a state-mandated monopoly and can’t go out of business if customers are unhappy. No matter how bad the service is at your DMV…

YouTube Premium is the last service I would ever cancel. I can live without YouTube TV, or Hulu, or ChatGPT. But I watch a fair bit of YouTube, and I am _NOT_ watching ads at any cost. Once I had TiVo, it was over long ago. Some of the stuff you steal is actually worth paying…

You are a taker, not a maker. All you’ve done your whole life is take from the makers of the world. The zero-sum mindset you have is at the root of so much evil. Once you realize that civilization is not zero-sum and that it is about making far more than one consumes, then it…

1. Have capitalism. Life is good for 90%. 2. Find the 10% who can't thrive even in ideal conditions. 3. Tell them socialism would fix their problems. Use their support to implement some socialism. 5. Have mostly capitalism. Life is good for 80%. 6. Find the 20% aren't…

It pains me to see people dismiss the rise of socialism as being about young people being dumb and brainwashed. The truth is, young people are always dumb and brainwashed. I certainly was at 20. The question, however, is why they are increasingly susceptible to this particular…

Quickly fixing other people's messes. That means when someone else's vital component has an issue, and you've never seen it before, you can parachute into the codebase, figure it out, brainstorm a fix on the whiteboard, code it, and get it working using whatever their dev…

Actually, obligatory: Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit. The first economist says to the other “I’ll pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit.” The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit. They continue walking until…
