“Today, those who once promoted open borders tell us that the system has failed and that massive cuts are needed, ‘discovering’ that the immigrants do not contribute to the sustaining of the welfare system but overwhelm it.” https://t.co/faytPZMTCb

What about Story C?: Was Epstein running a sex ring for big shots as a way of extracting intelligence and kompromat in part for a foreign power? Seems like that should be A, actually …. https://t.co/gho3gwjo0c

I ask ChatGPT what happened to black wages in latest BLS report. It gives me a lecture on gap between blacks and whites. Not what I asked. (I want to know if black wages went up or down.)
I didn’t realize ChatGPT was woke too. This was a simple question.

Crazy question: What’s the standard for judging “not enough people”? Immigrants leave. The market is supposed to equilibrate. Is the ideal maximum GDP growth? Maximum jobs (including) immigrants? Max GDP/capita? All seem questionable. Wages (median? bottom?) seem best measure no? https://t.co/yVNB8iC90y

“Average hourly earnings rose 3.7 percent from a year earlier — still a healthy increase, but the slowest pace since July 2024.” [3d-to-last-graf] https://t.co/iPrQfhc3mw One measure of how 1) Not enough workers! 2) Workers losing leverage! narratives have resolved. So far, OK

Results are in. You people are so wrong! Maxwell, from her interview: “In prison, where I am, they will kill you or they will pay — somebody can pay a prisoner to kill you for $25 worth of commissary. That’s about the going rate for a hit with a lock today.” https://t.co/4RhKZ3DybH

PS I’m not against overbuilding. Overbuilding means cheaper rents. Everyday it seems I drive by a new 6-story white apartment building in LA. I smile when I see it. Just suggesting much of the “crisis” aspect may soon be OBE. Or else it’s specific to a couple of cities (SF, NY?).

Interesting argument: We’re all sinners. It used to be that only God knew of all our sins. Now Palantir knows. So we really need to raise the bar on what’s a fireable offense. Sin, schmin. Who among us hasn’t lied on a mortgage form about our “primary” residence? https://t.co/RwxyTGI2Qz

In her DOJ interview, Ghislaine Maxwell says she saw nothing & knows nothing. But she was v-revealing in what she knows nothing about. Sketches out how an Epstein type of sex operation works: “They’re men that went and had a massage and maybe did something sexual.” OK! [Link
