Thomas Sowell dismantles a widespread belief: that poverty is a moral problem whose solution belongs to intellectuals. Humanity, he reminds us, (after the great fall )began in poverty. There’s nothing surprising about that. What truly deserves explanation is why some societies and some individuals managed to create wealth, and... show more

Thomas Sowell: "Intellectuals have a great tendency to see poverty as a great moral problem to which they have the solution. The human race began in poverty, so there's no mysterious explanation as to why some people are poor. The question is why have some people gotten prosperous, and why have some gotten to a greater degree than others."

“There’s no explanation needed for poverty—the species began in poverty. What you really need to know is what are the things that enable some countries and some groups within countries to become prosperous.” — Thomas Sowell

Thomas Sowell: "I'm afraid that I haven't even looked for the causes of poverty. I regard poverty is just simply the absence of wealth. So what I look for are the things that cause wealth to occur."

A system that increases the number of kids growing up in poverty AND the number and wealth of billionaires is a moral abomination. To fight it, we have to take from the rich to give to us all.

A lot of people misunderstand how wealth is built. They think it works like this: you get money, you already have wealth, and then you just turn it into more money—and that’s the whole explanation. But if that were true, it raises an obvious question: Why aren't humans still living in caves? Where did the initial wealth come from? If you need wealth to create more wealth, then why didn’t humans just stay stuck living in caves, scraping by forever? At some point, something changed. We went from barely surviving to building systems, institutions, and societies that can generate ongoing prosperity—at least in some places. This gets at a classic point from Thomas Sowell: the real question isn’t why some societies are poor, but why some are rich. That’s the harder question, and the more interesting one. And I think people miss this. Wealth isn’t just about having money. It requires work, discipline, the right mindset, and the kinds of social and economic conditions that allow it to grow in the first place.

If you think about the received wisdom about poverty among educated people in wealthy countries, it tends to emphasize structural explanations. Many people, particularly those with college degrees, have absorbed a steady message that poverty is primarily the result of unfair systems, inequities, and forces beyond individual control. There is some truth to this. We do not live in a perfectly fair society. Still, in rich countries today, individuals have more influence over their economic outcomes than at almost any other point in history, and certainly more than in most societies past or present. When someone has been taught that poverty is caused almost entirely by external constraints, encountering poverty up close can be destabilizing. Seeing people repeatedly make self-defeating or irresponsible choices clashes with that moral framework, and for many observers, the tension between structural explanations and individual behavior can be genuinely unsettling.

If you take the wealth of all the rich people in the world and give it to the poor, in two years the rich will get their money back, and many of the poor will return to poverty. Wealth is a system, and poverty is a mindset. Here’s how to break out of that mindset.

Graham Platner: “I refuse to believe there is some metric of hard work that says the people I know in Hancock County that work 3-4 jobs to keep a roof over their head, that somehow Elon Musk or Peter Thiel or Jeff Bezos worked so much harder than them that they deserve to be a billionaire and these people deserve to live in poverty”

Zohran Mamdani represents something much bigger than one mayoral race. He had demonstrated the electability of a kind of politics that is unashamedly progressive, rooted in the needs of the working class, and that is terrifying to the wealth-hoarding billionaires. That is great news:

Scripture commands us to care for the poor. But when poverty becomes a big business and there’s more incentive to keep people in hardship than to truly lift them out of it, that is no longer compassion…it’s self interest. Keeping people dependent is not an act of love, nor is it genuine care for those in need and we need to stop pretending that it is.

There’s no serious debate left: the overwhelming evidence and convictions make clear that Jeffrey Epstein ran a pedophile ring. The real question is why some still convince themselves, and others that he didn’t. Michael Shellenberger

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice ... it's such a straightforward moral question"

Before the recent partial U-Turn, the UK govt had stated that as a result of the benefit cuts extra 50,000 children would fall into poverty. why is the govt content to increase poverty? Watch the Minister's reply.

Scott Jennings just shattered the narrative that President Trump is calling the entire Epstein scandal a hoax. As Phillip attempted to paint Trump as callous toward Epstein’s victims, Scott Jennings cut her off cold and exposed her spin for exactly what it was—pure theater. “Well, the hoax is, Democrats and others, who have gone on television and either implied or worse, that he had something to do with it.” “There’s not a shred of evidence that he had anything to do with it, but that’s what they want people to believe. That’s the narrative that they are trying to get out there.” “That’s the hoax.” “He’s never said what happened to them is a hoax.” “In fact, there seems to be some shards of evidence in here that Trump may have been one of the people that turned in Jeffrey Epstein, which is why Epstein, according to some of the documents, apparently hated Donald Trump.” “And so the hoax is not that it happened. The hoax is what people are trying to imply, or worse about him.”

JD Vance: The fundamental challenge of AI is it's going to unleash a lot of wealth creation, but if that wealth creation all goes to some segment of people, you're going to have communism. That is the choice before us. It's a lot of wealth being created—that's good, by the way. I like wealth being created. But if you don't ensure that there's some broader prosperity from that wealth creation, we've run this experiment before, and it leads to communism. Source: Joe Rogan Experience

I don’t understand what the problem is. This is so much better than if they used Thomas style music it goes hard asf. While some of y’all bitch and moan over something that isn’t Tally Hall or The Beatles I’ll be looking for the name of this song to put in my playlist
