Palmer Luckey exposes why mega corporations don’t want manufacturing to return to America: “They want to outsource everything and hire cheaper, non-American labor.” 🇺🇸
“These analysts telling you it’s going to cost $37,000 to build an American iPhone or $100,000 to buy an American computer are trying to prop up a status quo that mega corporations want to keep going.
They want to outsource everything. They want to hire cheaper, non-American labor. They’re willing to say and do anything to convince you that it can’t be fixed, that it can’t come back to America.
How do I know they’re wrong? Because I make stuff in America every day.
We’re not going to let people lie about what America can and can’t do anymore. We’re just going to do it.”

SS United States is at the bottom of the Gulf, 22 miles off Destin, Florida.
The sinking took about 8 hours and this SHOULD not have been a surprise as they were using natural flooding.
She went down by the stern and took a roll to port before sinking.
The question will be if the ship lighted herself on the way down or if she is lying on her side.
I am disappointed in @OkaloosaCounty for not doing a better job in streaming this event and providing some experts to discuss this event to the public.
This was a lost opportunity.

Why is Milwaukee TV censoring the Mandela Barnes story? Seems newsworthy that the former lieutenant governor is suing the state’s largest paper for defamation.

I've been telling the right for a while now to stop prematurely celebrating the supposed death of wokeness.
I wasn't trying to be a buzzkill. And it wasn't out of some need to spread fear to maintain my supposed anti-woke grift. It just became clear to me that there was a major disconnect between reliable indicators of its ideological spread and its outward expression.
In 2020, there was a major push to change the ideological makeup of our institutions from the ground up. It was wildly successful. But those changes at the level of graduate students, postdocs, and assistant professors in science, medicine, and law needed years to incubate before they could fully wield their power.
Today, six years later, many have now received or will soon receive tenure, or become doctors and lawyers. The older, non-woke professors are increasingly outnumbered or retiring. Nearly all new hires are still woke, because woke people control the job searches and hiring committees. It's a woke ratchet.
By 2028, those who entered academia during the woke hiring spree of 2020–2022 will have largely moved into tenured positions.
Our institutions have never been more woke. Trump has simply delayed their plans by a few years. What we're seeing now, after the right getting a thorough midterm beatdown, is the woke beginning to test their newfound strength. What can they get away with saying (e.g., Dave Chappelle and Jennifer Welch)? Can they still cancel people over absurd accusations of racism (e.g., the Ole Miss girls making monkey noises)?
They've been training in the off-season, but they haven't yet tested their strength gains in the real world, because flexing prematurely would only invite federal scrutiny. They're emboldened now and will continue testing their strength through 2028. If they win, they'll go all-in and unleash the woke tsunami.
You don't understand how insane it will be. I don't either.

This kind of thing, these sort of charges, will freeze publishing. Publishers -- who tend to be risk averse given their slim margins -- will shun any material that could retrospectively be identified as "offensive" or "causing discomfort" etc.
That means, in practice, pretty much all of what we call literary writing, because it depends on ambiguity, intellectual complexity, and layered, ancient, unresovable conflicts in the mind and in society.
Only AI work will be trustworthy -- because it can be programmed to police itself according to all the current speech codes. It can even seamlessly update its own texts as those codes change.
The codes of speech and thought and expression very quickly will become as complicated as the tax codes and most human authors will simply give up trying to comply with them. Though publishers will give up first, I expect.

Thanks to @elonmusk & @SpaceX, the City of Memphis finished its Fiscal Year ahead of budget for the first time in a long time.
The City is tracking roughly $5.6 million ahead for the current year.
Memphis Mayor Paul Young said this week that SpaceX generated $54 million in taxes for the City and County this year.

Black gangs are stepping up against illegal immigration, sharing intel and support.
It's a complex landscape that reveals much about community resilience. They know they were replaced by illegal aliens and they wanted their communities back.

🎺 Mel Brooks didn't just make fun of the Nazis in the movies. He did it to their faces.
In 1944, 18-year-old Melvin Kaminsky of Brooklyn was drafted and shipped to Europe. He became a combat engineer, crawling ahead of the troops to find and defuse land mines, sometimes by poking the ground with his bayonet.
He fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
The story he loved to tell: one night German loudspeakers blasted propaganda across the lines, telling the Americans to give up.
So Corporal Brooks grabbed a bullhorn and answered with Al Jolson's "Toot, Toot, Tootsie (Goo' Bye!)." 🎶
Years later, he made The Producers and "Springtime for Hitler." His reason: "You have to bring him down with ridicule."
Mel turned 100 this June. Happy Veterans Day, Corporal Brooks. 🇺🇸

🚨 BREAKING: A three-story building COLLAPSED in Brooklyn this afternoon. At least one person is dead and an unknown number could still be trapped under the rubble.
Two people have been pulled out alive so far. Others were rushed to the hospital, some in CRITICAL condition.
It was an active construction site. Crews are cutting through concrete and brick looking for survivors right now.
Nobody knows yet what brought it down. Somebody has to answer for this.
Pray for the people under that rubble and the first responders digging them out. 🙏

If Nvidia’s Jensen is out as is being reported let’s war game the daisy chain effects.
He has been the architect of much of the circular financing to pump up demand for chips.
There were likely grey (I’m being generous) accounting practices.
Growth Fundamentals are clearly slowing.
Those in the C-Suite have a strong incentive to come clean and kitchen sink everything and reset expectations while blaming Jensen.
This is going to get interesting fast.

A new poll of American college students found:
22% believe America deserved 9/11.
42% prefer socialism over capitalism.
38% consider Palestine a better US ally, compared to just 25% for Israel.
40% support criminalizing offensive speech.
Nearly 3,000 Americans were murdered by Islamist terrorists on 9/11, and more than 1 in 5 college students think America deserved it.
What on earth are American universities teaching these kids?

What is COPA?
NYC's new law gives city-chosen groups first dibs on certain run-down apartment buildings. Owners have to wait about three months before they can sell to anyone else.
Who gets first dibs?
Housing groups in East New York, East Harlem and the Bronx, along with Fifth Avenue Committee, MHANY and Banana Kelly.
Who foots the bill?
You do of course! That's up to $380,000 per apartment, plus tax breaks and waived fees.
If these groups want the buildings, let them bid like everyone else.
The free market built America and New York over 250 years. COPA pushes out the private sector and puts government in its place.
That's communism. Full stop.
