“Virtual machines are like cities — once they’re established, they become magnets.” Diksha Arden sits down with Jay ($/acc), Founder of Sei, to unpack Jay’s macro thesis: why legacy hubs — whether cities like New York and San Francisco or dominant virtual machines — tend to remain on top,... show more

Even liberals in New York City are starting to talk about arming themselves. Crime is climbing. Confidence in the police is collapsing. And people are realizing that when trouble comes, they may be on their own. Second Amendment groups are watching closely. If blue cities try to strip people of their right to defend themselves while the streets get more dangerous, they will be challenged. Self-defense is not a partisan issue. It’s a basic human right.

$WATCH: A massive part of Trump's 2nd-term agenda is to charter TEN new mega-futuristic cities in various states on federally-owned lands "Almost one-third of the landmass of the United States is owned by the federal government, with just a very, very small portion of that land... we should hold a contest to charter up to ten new cities and award them to the best proposals for development. In other words, we'll actually build new cities in our country again." The "Freedom Cities" will lead to historic job creation and the easing of traffic in cities nationwide. They will become hubs of innovation and offer new families the opportunity to own homes at a fraction of the current price. The cities will also provide an unprecedented opportunity for up-and-coming entrepreneurs to build generational wealth in low-tax, high-reward environments. Trump is the only Republican who understands that the spirit of innovation needs to return to America. Some conservatives are against this idea because it reminds them of the WEF's 15-minute cities. But that's a foolish mindset. Trump is proposing these cities to compete with Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi, etc. We need to beat them and do it better. Like Space Force, Trump wants the United States to be FIRST in every category. He's trying to give people what their great-grandparents had. Cities like NYC, Chicago, LA, SF, Houston, Miami, etc, didn't start overnight. People saw innovation and opportunities and moved there for better opportunities. I, for one, think we need to start thinking about the future. I want my generation to be the one to bring about flying cars.$

Tucker goes on epic rant about modern life and nature: "The ruling party is the party of the childless, the unmarried, the people working for low wages for large corporations and living in tiny apartments in overcrowded cities that are rife with crime." "Who votes for the people who run the United States right now? People who are working for big banks, living in crowded conditions, very often alone, in big soulless cities, having their food delivered by immigrants, and spending their time glued to a screen. What does that sound like to you? It sounds like prison, actually." "Who are the people who oppose this? Where do they live and how do they live? Well, they are poorer generally on paper. But are their lives worse if you live in a place where you can see the sky? Where you can make your own food? If you can go outside and identify three species of trees or hear birds, or experience silence, the rarest commodity in the modern world. Those are the people who are not with the program. People who have a daily experience of nature. And those people are much more likely to acknowledge a power beyond themselves and their government. And there's a reason for that because they can see it. When you're living crowded as you would on an industrial farm as a cow, you are not liberated. You are enslaved. Your reference points are gone. You can't see the stars. You cannot see God's creation. All around you you see drywall and screens. And your ability to think clearly goes away."

Have you ever noticed that most buildings in London, New York, or even South Mumbai are built right up to the footpath, with little or no margin space between the building wall and the compound wall? Do you know that Indian cities waste nearly 50% of their urban space in these margin areas? This leads to lower occupancy in prime areas and creates multiple challenges, including higher property prices. But our urban planners are so poor at planning that they don’t even consider this. And on top of that, municipalities often come in and destroy businesses operating within their own premises in these margin areas. This kind of use of space is quite common across Western cities, and now I’m seeing it in Middle Eastern cities too. Maybe it’s time our planners rethink how we use urban space.

Man says wealthy people won’t leave NYC under Mamdani since they own physical property there, so they’ll be forced to pay any new taxes that may arise under Mamdani. He fails to consider many wealthy people use LLCs or trusts to own their property. That lets them change their tax filing residency to places like Florida if they live there for at least 183 days a year. There are countless reasons why Democrat-led states are failing. Taxing too much is at the top and why we’ve seen exoduses from states like New York and California. Gov. Hochul is terrified of this and that’s why she’s already said she won’t increase taxes on the rich. Mamdani is doomed to fail as he won’t be able to fund his socialism. Tax revenue isn’t the only concern for Democrat governors. They need the raw number of people living in their states too. California and New York each lost a House seat following the 2020 census due to population issues. Now imagine if the census doesn’t count illegals. (tales.from.socialism on TT)

Is the Airbnb boom over? Prices plunge while bookings drop, driving host revenue down 13% amid worries the "Airbnbust" is finally here. And it could get a lot worse between a looming recession and excess savings about to dry up. Now, with perfectly bad timing, blue cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco are outright banning Airbnb. Scapegoating them for their own policies that strangle housing. And continuing their war on a dwindling middle class. Put it together and tens of thousands of people could be left with speculative mortgages they can't afford, hitting house prices nationwide.

NEW: Sanctuary City Denver is now openly begging illegal immigrants to leave their city, warning them that they will "suffer." This is peak liberalism. Denver, a once proud Sanctuary City, has had enough "love and tolerance" and is begging illegals to go to other cities like New York and Chicago. "The opportunities are over. New York gives you more. Chicago gives you more. So I suggest you go there where there is longer-term shelter. There are also more job opportunities there," said city official Andres Carrea. Denver, like many other 'proud' Sanctuary Cities, has become overwhelmed after getting exactly what they asked for. "If you stay here, you are going to suffer even more and I don’t want to see this," Carrea pleaded. After giving his passionate speech and offering to pay for their travel, Carrea asked the crowd who was willing to leave. Everyone decided to stay. Wokeism always sounds "nice" on paper but never actually works.

Senator Bill Hagerty says he has tried to stop illegals from being counted in the Census with legislation and EVERY Democrat voted to BLOCK it He says Democrats are rigging out electoral votes with illegals and that’s the only reason why Sanctuary Cities exist “You’ve got these blue states that have situated sanctuary cities inside their states. What are those sanctuary cities designed to do? They serve as magnets. The reason and the motive behind this crime is that the census counts those illegal aliens for the purpose of allocating congressional districts and for the purpose of allocating electoral votes. At the end of the day, this is about power. California has more electoral seats than it deserves because they're able to count these illegals. That gives people who are actually citizens a disproportionate power relative to people that are citizens in my state where we don't have a large illegal population. That is something that is a major flaw in the system. I tried to address it legislatively and every Democrat voted to block me on it.”

ELON MUSK: “The homeless industrial complex in California is really dark, man. The network of NGOs should be called something like drug zombie farmers. Homeless is the wrong word. Homeless implies that somebody just got a little behind on their mortgage payments and that if they got a job offer, they would be back on their feet. But someone who is, I mean, you see these videos of people who are just shuffling around. They are on fentanyl. They are taking a dump in the middle of the street. They have open sores and stuff. They are not one drop off away from getting back on their feet, right? This is not homelessness. It is a propaganda word. San Francisco has this tax, this gross receipts tax. It is not even on revenue. It is on all transactions, which is why Stripe, Square, and many financial companies had to move out of San Francisco.”

The “anywheres” vs “somewheres” divide is ultimately what nationalism comes down to. Most native Brits wanted to live in or at least close to where their parents grew up and their grandparents before that and so on and so on. On top of that they don’t want people coming into those cities, towns, and villages who are not only not local they’re not British or European or even Western. Why is Essex such a Reform heavy county? Because a lot of the people in Essex are people who had to move out of the East End of London because of Bangladeshi and Pakistani immigration taking over Tower Hamlets and Newham. They were uprooted once and they are now seeing the immigration begin to follow them to Essex and they refuse to endure this for a second time. There’s a reason white flight exists. Even the liberals and progressives don’t actually want to live amongst the diversity. So the obvious solution is not only to pause immigration where it is but to reverse it. We want to see cockneys return to the East End and we want the Pakistani’s and Bangladeshi’s back where they belong. I’m sorry if your parents or grandparents came here against the will of the British public and you wrongly believe you are British. You are a victim of immigration too but it’s not my job to worry about you, it’s my job to worry about my people. So get learning Urdu and Bengali if you can’t speak it already because you are going back whether you like it or not.

🚨NAVAL: "The left is a set of people who hate market outcomes: whether in evolution, genetics, nature, or capitalism. They don't want inequality in their religion. They want everyone to have equal outcomes no matter what. On the right, people just want to be left alone. It's people who don't like the left. The right is inherently disorganized, they don't form institutions or networks, they're busy with their jobs, they're not ideological. It's hard to define the right." Naval breaks down why this moment is so powerful because right now the idea of a "right" is becoming more crystalized, as the "right" is finally motivated enough to organize and fix issues as a whole, rather than stay working on their own individual issues.

I'm curious about the life of the people who work in Chinese factories: + Are they like 1950s Americans who dislike their job, but are satisfied with rapidly rising living standards? + Or is sitting in a chair, jetting paint on toys just clearly a step up from toiling in the fields? + Do they resemble the characters from "Roseanne" - salt of the earth types who lack the human capital to rise elsewhere in the culture? + Are there Norma Rae style agitators? From where are they drawing their ideas? + Or is it like pre-war America where you have introspective geniuses who spray paint by day and write poetry by night? We focus so much on the high-stakes geopolitics, but the human-level questions are rarely explored.

This island of 850,000 people is quietly trying to break free from the grip of the Chinese Communist Party. And no one is talking about it. The Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands just arrived in Washington, D.C. Cleo Paskal breaks down why his visit represents a pivotal moment in the geopolitical struggle between the U.S. and China: Prime Minister Matthew Wale came into power after a vote of no confidence led to a “reconfiguration of the existing parliament”—and a reconsideration of the Solomon Islands’ relationship with China. “It’s a transformation.” “There’s this little window where the Chinese Communist Party response isn’t quite in full action to cut the legs out from under them, where they’re trying to create all sorts of other relationships.” “They’d like to set up an embassy in Washington.” “They’re going… to Japan.” “They visited Australia, Papua New Guinea.” “This is often presented as, are they pro-China or are they pro-the US?” “They are pro-Solomon Islands.” “And if you are pro-your own country and your own sovereignty, you don’t want to be associated too closely with the Chinese Communist Party.” “Because their goal is to create vassal states.” “What they’re trying to do is bolster their own sovereignty through a whole new range of relationships.” “So far, they’re not being met by Rubio or Vance or the President.” Cleo Paskal

YouTuber Sourav Joshi has built a huge gym at his house. He has now spent lakhs of rupees on premium, expensive gym machines. But his family doesn't even know how to use those machines properly. Three people are running on the same treadmill at the same time, and they're even making their dog run on the treadmill. The reason Sourav Joshi is giving for building his own gym at home is that when he used to wake up at 5 am to go to the gym, people would already be waiting outside his house and would follow him. According to him, they disturbed him while he was going to the gym. It's hard to believe that people would wake up at 5 am just to wait outside Sourav Joshi's house. When did he become such a huge star? People don't even gather outside the homes of Bollywood stars like that; even they sometimes have to pay people to create crowds. If people stop Sourav Joshi at the airport to meet him, will he build his own private airport too?
