Nobody warned us the World Cup was going to solve Korea’s birth rate crisis. All this Korea 🇰🇷 - Mexico 🇲🇽 love is beautiful. A lot of kimchi is ending up in tacos tonight. Nine months from now, Seoul is going to have a baby boom. And somehow, every single one of them will be Filipino.

Everything the government touches gets more expensive. Everything it leaves alone gets cheaper. Since January 2000, overall prices are up 93%. Wages are up 131%. Now look at what happened sector by sector. Prices that exploded: - Hospital services: +240% - College tuition: +180% - College textbooks: +150% - Medical care: +140% - Childcare: +122% - Housing: +111% Prices that collapsed: - Cellphone service: -45% - Computer software: -70% - Toys: -73% - Televisions: -97% That is not a coincidence. It is a mechanism. Every sector in the first list runs on subsidized demand and somebody else's money. Student loans pay the tuition bill. Insurance and Medicare pay the hospital bill. Subsidy programs pay the childcare bill. When the buyer never sees the real price, the price stops behaving. Every sector in the second list makes you pay directly, against global competition. There is no federal television loan program. So TVs got 97% cheaper over the same 25 years tuition nearly tripled. None of this is new. In 1987, Reagan's education secretary Bill Bennett predicted that every increase in federal student aid would simply be swallowed by tuition hikes. Economists call it the Bennett hypothesis. Four decades of data have called it correct. And yes, new cars sit on the market side at +25%. Someone will bring up the bailout, which is fair. Washington spent about 80 billion dollars on the auto rescue and taxpayers ate roughly 10 billion of it. But a one-time rescue of two companies is not a standing subsidy to every buyer. You still pay for your own car, and Toyota still exists. Even with bailouts, mandates, and tariffs, cars rose 25% while inflation ran 93%. So the next time someone tells you healthcare and college are expensive because of market failure, show them the chart. The market is the part that worked.

Listen to North Korean defector Yeonmi Park explain how her grandparents were promised much of what Mamdani and the Democratic Socialists of America are promising today: - Free healthcare - Free housing - Free education - A government that will take care of everyone In return, they surrendered their freedom. Tyranny rarely arrives looking cruel. It arrives smiling, speaking softly and promising compassion. Liberals, I beg of you, don’t listen to conservatives if you don’t want to. Listen to the North Korean defector. It will not be different this time. This is how it begins.

Yes, this is real. This guy decided to flirt with death by putting a light bulb on a fork in a microwave for our entertainment. Here is the fun part. Microwaves hit everything inside with electromagnetic waves at about 2.45 GHz. Normally they make water molecules spin like they are late for work, which heats your food. But an old incandescent bulb has a thin tungsten filament that acts like a tiny antenna. It grabs those waves, turns them into an alternating current, and the filament gets heated to thousands of degrees until it glows like it just found Jesus. The fork adds spice by concentrating the electric field at its prongs. That can create arcs, tiny lightning flashes, and even pockets of plasma inside the microwave. It looks amazing. It is also a great way to shatter glass, start a fire, or send your microwave straight to appliance heaven. So yes, it works. No, do not try this at home unless chaos is your love language.
