One interesting twitter debate going on right now is the billionaires prefer waitresses. Maybe not even interesting but complete culture war. The thing I’m seeing for the billionaires don’t marry waitresses is a very pedantic view of waitresses when I think the meaning is more like girl bosses versus attractive girl whose primary goal is not making money but finding a husband.
I do not know if anyone really disagrees with this. Like it’s a spectrum right? Only Jeb Bush married a girl who doesn’t even speak the same language but I assume was very cute. The spectrum is something like Laurene Jobs who did a little corporate prestige jobs and went to Stanford MBA then quit working versus Jeb Bush who just picked a big booty Latina at 18.
I feel like guys often pick the “waitress” over the girl boss. But the people saying the billionaires never pick the waitress are being excessively pedantic. The model isn’t a waitress. The presenter isn’t a waitress (Bezos). The art hoe isn’t a waitress.
I would say the best smart guys tend to marry the Princeton girl early like Bezos or Gates or Zuck. But over 30 the waitress traits start to show up.
Personally I would prefer girl who has career and interesting life but I have way more options in the waitress category of attractive with some things going on.
Got told people didn’t know the debate. I think this is the twitter posts that started it. debate

He is British and Dutch. S Africans were settlers like the US. Genetically and culturally he’s from the same stock as the founding fathers.
Warren Buffet had a paper route when he was 13. A little older but not much. That involves picking up a heavy stack of papers, walking around your neighborhood for like an hour alone, an about once a month you were the collection arm of the newspaper company. I too had a paper route around the same age. There’s actually a lot of billies whose first job was a paper route.
Around the same age (late elementary school) my memories were watching Independence Day on HBO every morning, then walking to the local ballpark to meet friends and play baseball everyday during the summer. Like Sandlot though often without a full 9.
The interesting thing about Buffet is his dad was a congressmen so he had to have some money but he still had a paper route. The family I guess wanted to instill work ethic and values. I also think there is a bit of wanting independence as a kid and getting to walk around the neighborhood for an hour and have your own money. Potentially we were also extremely bored back then. No phone to doomscroll on for an hour so you needed to find things to do.
My gut says the nanny state on children takes more than one generation to establish. I did things independently as a kid therefore I will never think a 10 year old doing things is child abuse. But my kids may raise children in a nanny state because they will only have my stories doing things as a kid and not personal experience.
This is one reason to consider living in a lower-middle class immigrant community. I think Miami still has some areas like this where you can be in that culture but still 15 minutes to civilization. And the immigrants tended to be higher quality ones than ones who walked across a border in S Florida.

All you have identified is that there is a sliding scale of “whiteness”. At some point people are so far away from heritage American that it’s unlikely they will ever have descendants that will be able to fit into America and reproduce American society.
On one hand you have Elon Musks who is pure heritage American stock. My last name traces to ancient Roman nobility so I am not heritage American stock though we did conquer them for a few centuries. But I do believe I am close enough to be a functioning person in America.
You are not bringing up anything novel. These things are debated online. Research on these type of questions were suppressed for a long time. Data on these questions are coming out now and we get charts like these:

You would need to assume outside intervention for any of that to occur. S Africa could be 100% white in a fortnight if they had the will to do it and there was no threat of outside intervention. Whites don’t lose in war when united.

Who would rule?
- Vivek type
- Chinese
- African
- Maduro
- Sheinbaum/Frey
The first three I don’t believe have ever ruled over a multicultural society. The first group has mayor of London but we are talking way more fragmented. The second Singapore would be closest example. The third never. The fourth occasionally in Mexico or Venezuela but while their people are the majority. The fifth yes they could pull it off.

I agree with this and it’s basically what I meant by function.
The left prefers to say that the right “hates” immigrants. If they used the term “fear” I would agree with them. It’s not fear that they are better than me etc. it’s fear that they can not reproduce the American Civic Religion.

The Gene Wu thing was crazy. I thought about including it in my original posts. I did see on twitter that he was adopted by white parents but I believe that is false by google and his parents are Chinese.
Where does he get these beliefs:
- 80% probability. He aligned himself with the ascendant power in this era - the woke - so adopted their beliefs and is now a true believer.
- 20% probability. He is an actual CCP agent attempting to cause social harm in America. Likely not formally but decided to align with his people.
His thesis I believe is obviously false. Balkanization is far more likely. Blacks and browns are not going to align with Asians and Indians. All those groups moved to America because they liked what white people built even if it was just economic migration. They have little common beliefs amongst them. You end up with Newsome types or a court Jew like Jacob Frey ruling over different tribes that don’t like each other.
For the HBD people this seems to be evidence that 2nd/3rd generation immigrants escaping communism etc revert to the political systems they are genetically predisposed to.

I am sorry you feel this way and sorry you grew up around people who think this way. It is not the America I experienced.
I don’t believe we “kicked the can down the road”. The Great Society was an attempt to end poverty. Reaganism was a mostly successful attempt at improving American prosperity.
Why does Harvard have a $50 billion endowment? It’s because a lot of people donated money wanting to give something back for (unrelated) people who come after them. Why did so many people sign up for the military when those towers fell? Or those boys who died on those beaches in Normandy? Why did Carnegie give all his money away?

Adding Argentinian twitter. Debates over whiteness. Trashy Latinos. Literally no different than America. My twitter algo updated itself and is giving me a ton of Argentina twitter since Bad Bunny. Argentina twitter
And yes watching those people and you realize 10 million could come and in 3 years they would 95% assimilated.
Do we live in different countries? Or are you under 25? 90% of Americans do not loot the commons. Nobody does. That’s a post 2016 commons breaking down. It’s not the America I grew up in. This is literally what we are fighting for to prevent America from going down that path.
The reason freedom worked in America is due to Americans being able to work for the collective good and not be solely self-centered. If everyone robbed from each other the entire experiment would have never worked.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but S FL mostly for geopolitical reasons has always been heavily Latin and Democratically we mostly decided it would be. Cold War era politics plus a natural hub to attract S American elites for the Monroe Doctrine. So it’s one of the places we had agreed would be a different culture.

Try to internalize this.
- People mostly prefer environments in their native tongue. For obvious reasons
- The performance was not just “in Spanish”. It was culturally third worldism. Excessively sexualized. Promoting welfarism.
The latter is far more of a threat to the commons than importing LATAMS best who can maintain a high end society. If you are going to go into my pocketbook then yes I care.

Ok so I don’t believe you actually expressed a reason why it’s bad. I don’t know who in the coalition it is bad for? Even the GOP antisemites are usually fine with Israel being strong if it doesn’t costs US blood or money. They are fine with Jews being in Israel from what I can tell.

Wikipedia says dad’s Puerto Rican. I guess he’s just mystery meat is you want to call it that. Regardless you can find a more Latino person for the job.
What are you even calling Iran2? Before getting into a political diatribe what do you mean by that? I am only saying I trust his judgement in the region. Maybe it’s Kushner making the decisions but he has played geopolitics well especially in the ME so whatever he decides I defer to the expert.
Pulling off a Maduro style partial coup in Iran isn’t going to tank his approval. Antisemitic lefties will hate it but who cares.

I think Jay-Z is the issue. NFL if they are smart should fire him tomorrow. We have done multicultural Super Bowl shows before. We have done them without simulating sex that were family friendly. They have been done in ways that were not explicit replacement politics ideology.
Super Bowl 50 was great. Coldplay, Beyoncé, Bruno Mars (Puerto Rican). That’s a unity show of one country of different people. Coldplayshow
This show feels like it came from agitators trying to tear us apart.

I wanted to keep a simple model but this is more complete. Hit the biggest groups as a framework to contrast with BB’s Latino to highlight big cultural differences.
Glad you’re saying Colombia/Venezuela is weird because they are obviously a big group and I didn’t just forget them. Nothing came to me as a classification as a distinct group other than they make cocaine here. Which is not a cultural group. I guess they are a border region between more distinct LATAM cultures. Maybe like Dallas today.

Unless he wins round 2 with Iran. I would have been of the opinion that sending helicopters into Venezuela sounds stupid and of course 6 helicopters versus entire Venezuela army is a lost cause. Same thing with killing Soleimani or Israel’s earlier Iran attacks. But those all worked. It feels to me like Syria under Hillary or Afghanistan under Biden were losses. I don’t know what is different with military action under Trump but it seems like the execution has been good.

Fantasy Football and gambling. The once a week format and only 17 weeks a year allows Fantasy football to work really well. Probably the same for gambling. It feels too degenerate to gamble every day.
My NFL viewership would fall 75% without fantasy which is just a great way to stay in touch with old friends
That’s the scissor statement in this. Everything you described are hot girl jobs. Including company ex-husband probably funded and lost money on.
This is a Greek weather girl. That’s a presenter right? That girl gets guys for her feminine energy not because she spent a decade grinding at McKinsey. Greek weather girl
