__________<\/p>\n

Greetings, Dear Reader,<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I suppose by now you\u2019ve heard that Mayor Mamdani\u2019s picks all won their primaries for US congressional seats in NYC districts?<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

What does it all mean?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Well, it\u2019s not very complicated.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

THE ONE PERCENT<\/b><\/p>\n

The biggest lie blanketing western politics today is that the problems facing normal people are complicated and require complicated solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve covered this idea already, so I won\u2019t belabor it. In short: <\/span>The solutions are not complicated<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Landing a rocket on a moving barge out at sea, that\u2019s complicated. So is beaming cheap internet from orbit, or even as I believe will happen at some point, cheap energy for everyone\u2019s home. Likewise, designing the first consumer humanoid robot is complicated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Solving those problems in a way that is accessible to nearly everyone would certainly make a man rich. On June 12, they made Elon Musk the world\u2019s first trillionaire when SpaceX went public.<\/span><\/p>\n

The reaction from the far left was instantaneous: Take Musk\u2019s wealth and give it to (our friends who will then take their cut and give a miniscule, failing service, if any service at all, to) the poor.<\/span><\/p>\n

California Rep. Ro Khanna went 20 rounds with various online detractors when he suggested a wealth tax on Musk. Massachusetts Sen. Liz Warren, as well, suggested an \u201cultra-millionaires\u201d tax.<\/span><\/p>\n

Warren suggested taking Musk\u2019s wealth to provide \u201cfree child care\u201d for \u201call three and four year olds,\u201d seemingly unaware or unwilling to acknowledge the various \u201clearning centers\u201d bilking such programs of billions.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

She also suggested more \u201cfree\u201d college.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\"\"\n<\/div>\n

Do we really need free college? Haven\u2019t we learned that \u201cfree\u201d college can get us in a lot of debt trouble?<\/span><\/p>\n

In any case, this new war on the (point-)One Percent birthed a funny trend online. It can be summed up in one question: What\u2019d Elon Musk ever do to me?<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>It\u2019s not the top 2% causing the deodorant to be locked behind glass at the supermarket,\u201d one <\/span>commenter<\/b> noted. \u201cIt\u2019s not Elon Musk stealing packages from your doorstep.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWho\u2019s robbing the stores? Who\u2019s spraying graffiti over nice buildings? Who\u2019s stabbing people pretty much daily now? Who\u2019s stealing bikes? Who\u2019s leaving garbage all over? Who\u2019s shitting under the bridge? Not the billionaires,\u201d another commented.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt isn\u2019t trillionaires behind me on the train listening to music with no headphones,\u201d said another.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, <\/span>this old tweet<\/b> got screencapped and started going viral everywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n

It says:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Maybe the most important thing you learn by attending public school is that we are all at the mercy of the bottom quintile. The rules you follow in life will be based on the behavior of the bottom quintile, the taxes you pay are to support the bottom quintile, the greatest risks to your life and property will come from the bottom quintile, the dearth of comfortable public spaces is because you have to allow the bottom quintile to be there, our zoning laws are developed for fear of the bottom quintile.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

There\u2019s a connection to all of this, Dear Reader. Trillionaires, the rise of socialism in the Democratic Party, persistent social plagues and the dregs of society demanding ever more handouts.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s an opportunistic class of second- and third-quintile midwits serving as the intellectual vanguard for an explosion of neo marxism. They convince the bottom quintile that their problems could be solved by simply taking wealth and redistributing it. This vanguard has no actual interest in solving the problems. It\u2019s the problems themselves that give them the opportunity for power.<\/span><\/p>\n

New York City is no longer an American city. It\u2019s Palestine with more poop on the streets and aggravated assaults on the subway trains.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to clean up crime, it\u2019s simple: arrest and imprison the criminals. You want fewer Islamic radicals on campus? Stop allowing student visas from radical Muslim countries. You want to lower housing costs and increase inventory? Deport 30 million people, revoke 20 million (fraudulent) visas, and give sweeping tax abatements to single-family home developers.<\/span><\/p>\n

You want fewer stupid college graduates with insurmountable debt? End \u201cfree\u201d college entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not the point-one percent driving the woes of the average American. It\u2019s the bottom one percent and the elite midwit class that\u2019s leading them. It\u2019s the self-preservation instincts of mediocre people in the permanent bureaucracy and the midwits who keep them paid and employed all with other people\u2019s money.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why\u2019s Mississippi surging to the top of the stack<\/span> when it comes to public school student literacy rates? Teachers unions in Mississippi initially opposed the changes that brought about the explosion of literacy. Too bad the state is \u201cright to work\u201d and unions basically amount to neutered lefty sob circles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Turns out teaching kids to read doesn\u2019t require a new \u201cultra-millionaire\u201d tax.<\/span><\/p>\n

The primary divide in America today is not left or right. It\u2019s takers versus makers. It\u2019s the productive, honest classes in the top four quintiles versus the violent, entitled dregs, the calcified bureaucracy that \u201cprovides services,\u201d and the socialist pied pipers leading all of them toward that inexorable hole in the wall.<\/span><\/p>\n

What that hole in the wall ultimately looks like, well, keep your eyes on NYC.<\/span><\/p>\n
