- Immigrants depress organic population growth by competing for jobs with young men. They’re aren’t a substitute for low population growth, they’re a cause. What’s more, they also depress innovation and investment by making labor expansion cheaper than capital. Just say no.Trump’s goal to grow by 3% over the next decade will be difficult, without an ample influx of immigrants to compensate for an aging American-born population. Now that the border is secure, it’s time to increase legal immigration (H‑1Bs, H‑2Bs & EB‑5). nypost.com/2025/06/22/us-…
- Replying to @carneyEnjoy your retirement, Chuck Scarborough. Thanks for all you’ve done over the years. And thanks for quietly being inspirationally kind. Hope you don’t mind that I let out your secret here.
- Replying to @kausmickeyI laughed out loud when Biden said that this was some radical thing no one had ever thought of before. Is he capable of remembering that the thing didn’t exist before Carter summoned it out of the liberal ether?
- Powell’s decision to push for a September cut, 8 weeks prior to the election, will go down in the history of the Fed as severely damaging to Fed independence and credibility.I’d love to hear an argument for why Powell cut rates 50 points right before an election but can’t do it now with inflation lower.
- Replying to @besttrousersI like that and want to think about it more. I think it applies to the best Marvel show, which was WandaVision, which was a quirky sitcom and also a gender flipped version of Stepford Wives.

- Replying to @keny_berd and @CernovichOr, you know, went on vacation. I think the entire story is a fraud.
- Replying to @carneyAnd so here’s the untold truth: Everyone loved Chuck Scarborough. He’d ride up front with them. He knew their kids, their families, their struggles. He listened to their stories. Gave gifts and tips out at the holidays. Every driver loved Chuck Scarborough.
- Replying to @JasonWhat's weird is that this isn't a recession. The economy is growing at a jaw-dropping rate, unemployment is non-existent, and asset prices are rising.
- Replying to @Gracie77777 and @vannschaffnerYes. I’m extremely skeptical of the whole story. A single point of failure for locked doors makes no sense. What if he quit or found a new job? Or, as you said, goes on vacation or gets sick? I think it’s just made up.
- Replying to @JasonThe “raising money for our basketball team” is such an old scam that I’m surprised anyone falls for it. But I guess people must fall for it or they wouldn’t keep doing it.
- Replying to @carneyI still find this inspirational. To be so kind and authentic that you become the favorite of everyone who works with you or for you is not easy. It’s probably not really possible for most of us. But it is something we can aim for, attempt to emulate.
- Replying to @Logically_JCBecause NPR hates them. But only one side is forced to pay for the other.
