New York Immigration Spending

Already, New Yorkers have been forced to spend some $650 million on newly arrived border crossers and the total figure is expected to exceed $4 billion by next year. Much of that cost is being spent on migrants whom Adams has placed in multiple luxury hotels, for free, which is transferring millions from local taxpayers to wealthy landlords.

... How much are these guys going to be adding to the American tax base..?

Not off to a very good start.

BBC Cries Over Big Tech Censorship Isn't in Full Swing

Exclusive academic data plus testimony from Twitter users backs up their allegations, suggesting hate is thriving under Mr Musk's leadership, with trolls emboldened, harassment intensifying and a spike in accounts following misogynistic and abusive profiles.

The last part is especially funny - a spike in accounts following "wrongthink" profiles.

It's basically an admission that they're mad that a billion dollar mega-corporation isn't running interference for the managerial democracy of Western oligarchs.

Current and former employees of the company tell BBC Panorama that features intended to protect Twitter users from trolling and harassment are proving difficult to maintain, amid what they describe as a chaotic working environment in which Mr Musk is shadowed by bodyguards at all times.

There's a block button.

If Musk could prevent assassination attempts via the block button, I'm sure he'd just do that instead of hiring bodyguards.

She later resigned. Internal research by Twitter suggests those safety measures reduced trolling by 60%.

They banned & muted people who got snippy with protected minorities instead of allowing fair & round criticism from both sides. It's not exactly some magical set of fair policies that were done away with.

How does the Left like to phrase it...

>Equality feels like oppression to those who are used to privilege


Imagine California actually throwing out this amount...

California, which entered the Union in 1850 as a free state, is now considering reparations of up to $360,000 per eligible recipient — more than 50% more than the amount floated as the highest possibility last year.

Hard to see how it would not negatively impact real estate and other markets. Hard to see how it would also not get wasted in notorious ways by some recipients.

I am not entirely against the idea of trying to uplift through handouts - I am not an extreme capitalist - but I think they should really be thinking twice before doing anything like this.
