Minnesota is a good place to make or break the reform of America, because it is so isolated, and can be targeted.

The fraud isn't even Minnesota, but the Twin Cities metro area. A stinking cesspool of corruption surrounded by cleaner Red counties (including outstate MN).
1/ Yes, yes, while the level of fraud is staggering, it is likely tiny compared to what is happening in CA & NY, let alone the entire nation. That's the problem - the numbers, scale & complexity of theft, fraud & corruption are such that the eyes blur.

There was an entire governmental & banking ecosystem of corruption needed to make the Somali frauds happen. Those are where the arrests need to happen, not just the individual Somalis, and we're seeing zero of that so far.

Minnesota law requires regular & thorough physical
1/ inspections of daycare facilities. I've known someone who ran one, the inspectors were hardasses who were difficult to deal with.

A whole network of people - this runs up to Walz - had to direct State of Minnesota employees to not enforce the law in order to facilitate fraud.

Almost 600k views, and the debates in the replies are fascinating. This isn't a gender war, it's often mothers debating with other women.

I believe the fundamental issue is that individual female empowerment leads to societal outcomes that many aren't intellectually capable
1/ of understanding, or that they refuse to consider because they don't like it.

Feminism has conquered much of humanity, and the fundamental tenet is "choice". Women are not obligated to bear children for men, but can choose not to - hence the central importance of abortion.

I previously written about childless career women as being "Brides of the State". They don't need a man for money, security, food or shelter - so they never marry.

However, they are still in lifetime "marriage" but it is to the State. That inherently means a lot of risk.
1/ If the State fails, or has to slash expenditures, or they lose political control of the State - well, then those women are totally at risk, and this particularly true as they get older. This necessarily comes with the territory of being a Bride of the State.

This thread has gone semi-viral, and whoo boy, are there some mad people in the replies (though the ratio is still 40 to 1 in my favor).

The core issue is that people think they can make binding contracts that later generations will HAVE to honor, even if they are impossible.
1/ No impossible promises will be broken, and this can be stated with 100% certainty.

The specifics of how the promises will be broken are what we don't yet know.

There is so much anger already about the Boomers, but this is still very early stage.

More than that. In the olde days, mortality would occur earlier and often very fast. There were no cures with heart attacks, strokes, cancer, etc. A man would work a physically demanding job to 55 or 62, and then drop dead on the spot.

People in their 70s and particularly 80s
1/ start to become very frail, and are incapable of working after a certain point in jobs requiring physical labor. I don't know how many little old ladies you, but those tough old birds often make it well into their 90s, and may not have been able to really work in 25-30 years.

What the endless anti-Boomer tirades come down to is two things: people live much longer on average than they used to, and the birth rate has slowed way down.

None of this supporting the old was a problem when most people had 3-4 children, before dying by age 60.
1/ Yes, yes, I get it, screaming about evil Boomers using anecdotal examples is a popular meme / hobby here.

But, for things like the wealth concentration & homeownership rates, well those have always been natural trends over time, but they were exaggerated by people living so long

I was thinking about the CHIPS Act when writing the shipbuilding threads.

No nation can be globally competitive while mandating that most jobs be awarded in a racial & gender-based spoils system. A nation that doesn't do that - like China - will outcompete them every time.
1/ The new semiconductors plants are in fact a massive, patronage-based looting of the American people. The national debt is being increased by what can be millions of dollars per new job, with the substantial majority of the new jobs being reserved for nonwhites & women.

How do we regain the skilled labor force that can build battleships in 2.5 years?

1. Start with a motivated young American
2. Hire him - and all his co-workers - strictly on merit
3. Provide the needed training
4. Give him lifetime job security - so long as he excels,
1/ then his job that is vital to national security will never be offshored
5. Pay him well, enough so that with a few years experience he can buy a home & support a family (this won't be in a super-expensive metro area)
6. Let him spend 5-10 years becoming a true master

As I've often written about, a nation can't be a military superpower without being an industrial superpower. In every war since the Civil War, the defining characteristic of the US military has been overwhelming materials superiority. The Civil War was the 1st major Industrial
1/ Age war, with mass production from Northern factories overwhelming what the primarily agrarian South could produce. Given the manpower & industrial differences, it's amazing the South lasted as long as it did.

The issue today is that the same poisonous elites who offshored

The heart of the Heritage American debate is often a denial that is "for you but not for me"

You are not allowed a distinct cultural identity from which I am excluded. However, I am absolutely allowed as a special cultural identity as a Canadian, Mexican, Somali or whatever.
1/ This is arguably not just a side effect, but one of the enabling mechanisms for American empire.

The American culture, money and military are supposed to dominate the world. So, all are encourage to believe they are part of that, and that they have full knowledge of America.

Kruptos is (with respect) not an American, let alone a Heritage American, and it really shows in this "intellectual" thread.

Speaking as a Heritage American, the origins are deeply organic, not at all based on state propaganda. It's the story of my life.
1/ I grew up as part of a people, with a distinct culture that had been centuries in the making. We were the frontier culture that opened up the wilderness, became the farmers and then the greatest industrial center of the world. For hundreds of miles in any direction -

A great deal of truth to this post!

My only quibble is that "industrialization" misses the mark. The Agricultural Revolution came before the Industrial Revolution, it is what created the surplus calories, and those excess calories are what allowed the Industrial Revolution.
1/ Seed drills, steel plows, threshers, combines & the like are what allowed almost all of our current civilization to come into being.

For the millennia before that, around 80% to 90% of the population always had to be involved directly in food production.

This is a useful video because there is a strong element of truth to it.

If the current trajectory continues, then Trump, Hegseth & Miller may indeed be in cuffs in 2029, because they are too weak. The truth is the Dems do put their opponents in cuffs, and the Repubs don't.
1/ This is therefore an interesting taunt on several levels.

The Dems are the power party, the Repubs are the cucks. This has been the system for many years.

Trump was elected, among other reasons, to change that relationship. At this point, looking at DOJ, FBI & IC

Interesting photo, the comments are worth reading.

They are a quasigovernmental sponsored paramilitary group. The Deep State Feds encourages them, while the RW equivalent would be infiltrated & taken down immediately.

They are undoubtedly quite capable of killing,
1/ and they should probably be viewed as Death Squads, such as have been seen in many conflicts. As a paramilitary unit they would be carved up by an actual military unit, but that isn't their role, Death Squads don't fight pitched battles but create terror & intimidation

Yes, this is outrageous, yes, it compromises national security, yes, it's treason.

But, more than anything else, it is Hierarchy. the Left gets the freedom to kill, and that is forbidden the Right. Protests, on the streets - and also with the military & CIA.
1/ The whole idea is to blatantly create two standards. If Obama wants to authorize 500 fatal drone strikes, or whomever else in the Deep State, there will never be a questioning or a prosecution.

Call me a "deranged fantasist" but there are 3 important qualifications here.

1. There will be no widespread conflict so long as the US dollar maintains reserve status, we're all too fat & happy. As discussed in the thread from 2 years ago below,
1/
 x.com/SaysSimulation… x.com/curtis_yarvin/… a major plunge in the national standard of living will set off an existential conflict of sorts on an economic & regional basis. The Dems relying on the redistribution of wealth will not settle for materially less, and a forced reduction in producer wealth leading to poverty

My most serious disagreement with Trump has to do with heritage Americans, STEM, and the knife he's putting into the heart of young Americans working in STEM - including my children. He's flipped from his base to taking directions from Silicon Valley, to screw us all over.
1/ American power was built on becoming the world's leading industrial & technological, and that was all based on STEM. Engineers, scientists & technologists built this nation & the modern world - not financiers, or real estate developers, or marketers, or lawyers.

MAGA had a good run for 10 years. It's replacement by the America First movement is a very healthy sign.

What we're seeing in action is what was described in the thread below from 2.5 years ago - the Overton Window is being dragged Right.
1/
 x.com/SaysSimulation… x.com/SaysSimulation… Trump did many good things over the years, and I appreciate that. He still needs our support in a number of areas including ICE, deportations & working to end DEI.

But, we're finding out that for Trump, America is a propositional nation, and heritage Americans are unimportant

We have a foundational split growing in the Repub party. Good!

I have two smart kids who are pursuing STEM degrees. Any "RW" politician who is fine with their being unemployed while jobs are given to Indians or Chinese is dead to me. That includes Trump.
1/ The Great Replacement comes to a halt, or it does not.

Many Repub politicians seem to fine with it, they just want to slow down the pace a little bit. Flood the nation with "legal" immigrants being given the best jobs, replace the population.

Yes. Owning a single family detached home on a lot with a used car was the highest standard of living for the working class that had been achieved in the world, and tens of millions lived that life.

If the jobs hadn't been exported, and the migrants brought in, Millennials &
1/ Gen Z could be living the Boomer life today, which was even better.

I somewhat get the hatred of Boomers, but the Boomers didn't set that process in motion. The "Greatest Generation" elites did it in the 1960s - 1980s, with Hart Cellar & the early stages of globalization.
