Paternalistic bullshit.
Kudlow: "Buying cheap goods is not a real prosperity, and we don't have to accept that. So you lay the law down, that's all. Look, all the badly behaving children in Asia and elsewhere are coming home to papa. They're all on the phone begging for mercy."

A really powerful WWII era "don't be a sucker" piece, that explains how authoritarians have to separate and destroy groups of people so they can take power. I don't usually watch anything this long (22 min) but couldn't stop watching once I started this.
Please watch and rewatch this movie, in the U.S. Archives from the @usarmy.bsky.social #DontBeASucker a reminder of how the Nazis conned their country into becoming the cause of mass murder and all the other horrors that Nazis unleash. The lessons are true for the USA🇺🇸 , in 2025 youtu.be/vGAqYNFQdZ4

Airport Theory 30 (30 min before boarding) works at ITM
Airports suck, and TikTok has found a way to make them worse: airport theory, a viral delusion that suggests you can roll up to the airport 15 minutes before boarding and still make your flight. No stress, no waiting, just pure main character energy.
‘Airport Theory’ Will Make You Miss Your Flight
This delusional airport trend only appeals to those who have no concept of how time or space work. Here’s how to actually travel like a pro.
