Mass Production Equals Mass Consumption
[R]elative shares in national income have remained substantially constant over the last hundred years. This, however, is true only if we measure them in money. Measured in real terms, relative shares have substantially changed in favor of the lower income groups. This follows from the fact that the capitalist engine is first and last an engine of mass production which unavoidably means also production for the masses….
Electric lighting is no great boon to anyone who has money enough to buy a sufficient number of candles and to pay servants to attend to them. It is the cheap cloth, the cheap cotton and rayon fabric, boots, motorcars and so on that are the typical achievements of capitalist production, and not as a rule improvements that would mean much to the rich man. Queen Elizabeth [I] owned silk stockings. The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within the reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort.
–Joseph Schumpeter, Capitalism, Socialism, and Democracy, 1942
Murder
Why would anyone think that condemning a murder must imply any particular judgment about the victim?

I am saddened by Charlie Kirk’s passing and the method by which he left this life.
Whether you agree with him or not, there is never a good reason for this kind of speech cancellation to take place.
Kirk took the fight to Ground Zero for American government supremacism at the university campus. He will be missed for his special brand of rhetorical pugilism that fought the Woke Monster in its own primordial fever swamp.
And this happens days after the tragic, cold-blooded murder 23-year-old Iryna Zarutskayoung in NC, the young Ukrainian girl. The usual suspects have been blood-mad for war since 2022. Why is it bad when Russians kill Ukrainians on the battlefield but OK for an addled monster to murder an innocent young woman on a public train in the US? I think folks are starting to pay attention.

Here is what the government supremacists on the Left want:
War on the world and war on you.
You give up your guns, the government retains all of theirs.
Total control over all your revenue streams and the constant surrender of your wealth and resources to them to give to their pets and corporate clients (Big Pharma, Big Medicine, Big Education, etc).
Total affirmation of the most bizarre and perverse actors in the sexual universe to include government subsidy of the Mengelian medical experimentation on healthy children.
Total acceptance of all Big Pharma injections and treatments to increase profits for Big Pharma.
Total government subsidies of the Marxoid madrassas in K-PhD. The same institutions at war with scientific methodology and empiricism. The university is the orchid house for ALL communist ideology in America.
Total surrender to their environmental agenda unburdened by science to couple a Communist ideology with special interest groups that wish to reduce the global human population (what could go wrong?).
Join them in a war on nuclear families of every type.
Total acceptance of a Turd World replacement population of the indigenous creators of the nation in place.
Additionally, STFU with any objections you have or they will shut you up through mass censorship.
Now this is who you are at war with.
The cold-blooded murder of Charlie Kirk is their answer.
They are committed.
Are you?
Get strong.
Prepare you and yours for a hard road ahead.
Gird your loins.
Spread the word.

Violence Did Not Silence the Voice of Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk’s last word was “violence,” but his last act, before an act of violence took his life, was an act of non-violence: the act of speaking that word. He died doing what he did all his brief adult life: working to persuade others through peaceful, yet powerful, speech.
His efforts were not in vain. In fact, he was phenomenally successful. His words persuaded multitudes of young people. And his bitter critics could not defeat him in debate. The more they tried, the more he won, and the more audience members he won over. So, as a last resort, one of his opponents used violence to silence his speech. An assassin shot him in the throat to still his mighty voice.
But even that failed. The shot fired backfired. The shooter only made Charlie an immortal martyr for free speech. In the days since his murder, the world has heard his words more than ever before, as video clips of him speaking have gone viral. And his resounding voice will echo on.
So must his example. To honor his memory, we must emulate his means. We must remember how successful his methods were: how many hearts and minds he changed. We must build on his gains and not reverse them. We must persevere in wielding speech and reason, and only use force for defence and justice, not collectivist vengeance or “preventative” tyranny.
We must be strong, not weak. That means using our grief and anger as motivation to redouble our commitment to the good, not as an excuse to indulge in the evil ways of our persecutors. We must remember that, throughout history, the ways of Charlie have triumphed gloriously, while the ways of his killer have failed miserably. We must choose to pick up Charlie Kirk’s microphone, not his assassin’s rifle. We must speak the truth more bravely than before and adhere to justice more steadfastly than ever.
That is how we redeem, and not compound, this awful tragedy. That is how we defy, and not affirm, this atrocious crime. That is how we pay fitting tribute to the life and work of Charlie Kirk.

Incentives matter. You want to see over-promise/under-deliver fixed? Limit total compensation for the top 10 executives in any year they miss their own promises. It’s really that simple. No deferment of compensation, no stock options, just hit them where it hurts and that is only the executive wallets.But then again, just stop buying weapons systems that don’t work.
