- Russia was the aggressor.
- Zelensky heroically defended his country and unexpectedly held on to Kyiv and much else.
- But the war cannot be "won" by Ukraine so a negotiated peace is needed.
- Zelensky needs to accept that.

You have given me the worst possible example possible. Atlanta is actually one of the cities where institutional investors own the highest percentage of single family homes, and yet their median home price is $403k, below the national average!!! So please tell me again how it’s the rich man’s fault.

Incentive is a key requirement for innovation, which is why the free market is the best vehicle for innovation and prosperity humans have ever invented. We saw it really clearly when China started experimenting with the free market in the 80s.

Imagine being stupid enough to think blowing up a bulletproof stainless steel box would be effective

Texas, one of the states that cares about climate change the least, gets more of their energy from renewable sources than California, one of the states that cares about it the most. Let that sink in.

I was including the Crimea invasions.

Russia has the most nukes out of any country in the world. About 5,500. And you know the worst part of nukes? They are typically so fast even the best tech we have today can’t stop them all.

I rather negotiate peace that play Russian roulette (pun intended)

Am I partially motivated by personal financial gain? Of course. But if we are successful, we will help millions of Americans. And that’s the magic of entrepreneurial capitalism. The best way to do well financially, even for greedy assholes, is to add value through a free market.

I am in favor of entrepreneurial capitalism, biggest driver for US hegemony (billionaires are required). The US is the most racially and culturally diverse, prosperous and most free country. We need to prove to the world that different races and cultures can come together and build awesome things.

I would argue innovation requires large concentrations of capital. Look at the list of the richest people in the US. They have been undoubtably a net positive for the country, and its people (some more than others). The fact that the top 2 are building rocket companies is a perfect example.

Every dominant empire thought it was untouchable. Rome, Britain, the Ottomans. The U.S. may control the reserve currency now, but debt and overreach have ended every superpower before. Privilege isn’t immunity.

The roaring 2020s are here! 🇺🇸

What are you most worried about happening in the next 4 years?

Most people will agree that the free market is the greatest vehicle for innovation and prosperity humanity has ever invented. But then, why are the most innovative cities in the US heavily left leaning? (Higher taxes, higher regulation)
