Many more Republican voters showed up yesterday than the Fake News thought possible. The political pundits just don’t get what is going on out there – or they do get it but refuse to report the facts! Remember, Dems are High Tax, High Crime, easy to beat!

TAXES AND REPRODUCTION
(probably an important set of ideas you need to grasp)
The fact that we tax tradesmen and members of bureaucracies at the same rate is counter-progressive (regressive).
If you’re going to tax progressively (effectively a sales tax on market participation), employment in or as Laborers, Tradesmen, Professionals, Small Medium Businesses, Industries, Government should be taxed progressively.
However the single most detrimental policies have been:
(a) inter temporal redistribution and risk propagation (which is incalculable) rather than the Singapore/Texas model of forced savings and redistribution into personal health and retirement accounts (which is calculable – and reinvest-able).
(b) The redistribution of middle class reproduction to the underclasses due to (i) inability to self segregate, thereby forcing families to ‘buy their way’ into expensive neighborhoods and schools at the cost of increased female labor, and decreased rates of reproduction. (b) the taxation and burning of reproduction by the middle class to redistribute reproduction to the lower classes (that should either be sterilized or limited to one child.)
Because ‘white people’ can live extremely well in high trust high quality well maintained commons by purely voluntary labor, it is possible for ‘whites’ to spend very little on redistribution and commons production, and also work less if they can isolate themselves from less advanced (domesticated) groups. There is zero reason, other than interest rates on home and auto, and the need to buy overpriced housing in overpriced neighborhoods, for more than 10% overhead of GDP. White westerners with small arms, required service, some artillery and nuclear weapons can build extremely low cost per capita high quality commons simply because IT IS IN OUR NATURE. Heterogeneity (diversity) has destroyed western civilization. We let pandora out of her box when we allowed women to vote without first limiting the damage that they could do once loosed in the polity by compensating for their dysgenic impulses. Civilization occured because of paternalism: the use of competition and capital to limit the reproductive damage done by women’s intuitions.

—“If you are trying to a convince a woman of something, you will be better off talking to a wall. Both will not listen or take your advice but at least the wall won’t argue with you.” — Old Adage.
Um. My advice is different. (a) You cannot compel women to do much of anything other than ‘fit in’, ‘signal’, and ‘advance her offspring’. (b) You can only say ‘no’ to what will negatively affect you, or that you cannot afford, or that you are unable to do. In other words, argue possibility with women not preference or good. Otherwise you are attacking her intuition not her reason.
A woman’s intuition (impulse) is not only unavoidable but her identity. If you argue against it then you are in fact criticizing HER, not the idea. Ergo, avoid doing so.
My philosophy with women is to help them be all they can be, just like we should our children. And to leave decisions to them that do not REQUIRE a ‘no’ from you (man) because it is inter-temporally dangerous, economically, or physically costly for you.

UNDERSTANDING CITIES
Cities = Markets = Decreased Opportunity Cost.
It’s the ability to communicate that decreases opportunity cost.
Opportunity cost = increasing choices.
The question is whether increasing choices produces increasing outcomes.
For business it does. For genes it does not.
This is the fundamental problem. Cities Destroy Genes in exchange for lower opportunity costs of consumption.
So we have a choice: (a) continue to bring people to capital at the cost of genes (genetic capital), or (b) bring capital to people to preserve genetic capital.
In other words, redistribute the opportunity costs.
