At least 1,200 people died of heatstroke in France last Wednesday, mostly elderly people indoors. Even crazier, about 70,000 Europeans die from the same every year, akin to a bi-weekly 9/11. Eurobros, please vote for leaders who will let you open your windows and install A/C!
Hating on Elon is an intelligence test
Today is @elonmusk's 55th birthday. In those 55 years, he has only: • Founded or co-founded 7 multi-billion- or trillion-dollar companies • Made EVs mainstream • Pioneered reusable rockets, reducing the cost of access to space • Created 600,000 jobs (direct+supply-chain) •
You can just do things (competently)
🚨 JUST IN: Gov. Ron DeSantis confirmed that after he finalizes the new budget, the red state of Florida will have SLASHED SPENDING for 4 YEARS STRAIGHT… …Florida will have a budget less than HALF the size of New York, despite being similar in population …and the state rainy

This is a catastrophe for our culture and our country.
Democracy’s fundamental and fatal flaw in high-welfare societies
How can democracy function when most people are reliant on state welfare? The tyranny of the unproductive majority can keep voting to expand welfare and increase taxes on the productive minority.
Letting hundreds of thousands of sick, elderly, and disabled Europeans die every year for lack of AC will do absolutely dick-all to slow down climate change, and I'm tired of people who lie and say that it will
Sort of amazing how the American response to a historic heat wave is not "holy shit climate change" but "omg the Europeans don't have AC yet"
They'll confiscate 47% of your salary, while describing a business operating on a 2% profit margin as "price gouging." x.com/ALeighMP/statu…
From 1 July, Coles and Woolworths will be on notice: price gouging is illegal. If prices go beyond the cost of supply plus a reasonable margin, the competition watchdog can act. Labor is backing families at the checkout. Transcript: andrewleigh.com/price_goug #auspol

a16z's @bhorowitz says the California wealth tax is the "best strategy" to dismantle Silicon Valley that he's ever seen. "It's been so hard to break the Silicon Valley network effect, but this is the best strategy I've seen." "Norway has an unrealized capital gains tax. Norway's got a lot of extremely smart people, great entrepreneurs, but they all left." "When you talk to entrepreneurs in Norway, they're like, 'I literally can't pay the tax because the company got marked up, and I own a lot of it, and I can't get that money out.'" "'It's a private company. I'm stuck. So, I have to leave the country.'" "There are basically no tech entrepreneurs in Norway now." From his appearance on the show in January.

This segment is surreal. The sense of guilt and shame exhibited by a young mother for using air conditioning when her baby's room temperature exceeded 90°F And, thinking she is causing or making the heat wave worse by using "so much electricity" which should be "rationed"
My daughter's friend in grad school, upon being asked by a member of her dissertation committee why she didn't include a Marxist perspective. "I grew up in the Soviet Union. I don't practice recreational Marxism."
I don't care what communism is in theory because I know what it is in practice.
Lee Kuan Yew: “Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency."
I asked Claude about the air conditioning debate in Europe, and it really didn’t pull any punches.
The madness
Être parent dans la France socialiste de 2026. L'État vous vole 60% de vos revenus et laisse vos enfants suffoquer en classe, jusqu'à en faire des malaises. Face à la situation, vous décidez d'agir. Vous vous cotisez avec les autres parents pour acheter des climatiseurs. En
