I love honest liberals.
They tend to be the sentimental ones.
It’s the intellectuals who are dishonest.
And they have to be. Fundamentally leftism is kleptocratic. It’s thievery.
But it’s pretty hard to chastise civil people who simply want to take care of everyone.
I just don’t want them to empower their intellectuals. Who are, in a word, crooks.

Well, I”m glad we have enough empirical evidence now that we can state the obvious;
1) Libertarians are the least emotive and most rational segment of the ideological triangle.
2) Libertarians are the highest IQ segment of the ideological triangle.
3) Libertarians really do put liberty first and foremost at all times.
What Haidt doesn’t get to is this:
4) Libertarians are the most economically literate segment of the ideological triangle.

“The Great California Exodus”
1) Density. People flee density. Despite the desires of urban planners.
2) Unemployment. People flee to opportunities.
3) Uncertainty: The government cannot provide essential services, and tax hikes are imminent.
They forgot: 4) LA is a few points of pretty amidst a sprawling slum.

I did NOT need to know more about this car. I was perfectly happy knowing that E Types and Cobras were antiquated technology. So I didn’t have to long for one. And, well, Morgans are one thing. But this is purely modern car. And it’s gorgeous. 🙂
A used one is 75K euros. 100K US.

The title is a charmer and a bit misleading. But the net is, that there are a lot fewer wealthy people walking around today.
