This is eye-opening. Europe’s share of global tech R&D has collapsed from 23% in 2005 to just 8% today, while the US has climbed to 62% and China has risen from near zero to 15%. South Korea now outspends Germany, France, the UK, and Italy combined in tech R&D. Yep, you read that right. This is the predictable result of policy choices that systematically favor control and redistribution over growth. Layered regulation, data rules, AI restrictions, labor rigidities, and precautionary frameworks, raises the cost and slows the pace of turning ideas into products, forcing companies to spend scarce resources on compliance rather than experimentation. High taxation and expansive redistributive systems extract capital that would otherwise fund private R&D and risk-taking, while shrinking the after-tax reward for building something new and scaling it. The broader left-leaning mindset that prioritizes equality of outcome over dynamism treats entrepreneurial success as something to be managed, taxed, or shared rather than unleashed and rewarded. Places that protect the returns to innovation and keep barriers low continue to pull ahead, attracting talent and capital that Europe increasingly loses. Europe’s relative decline is the cumulative outcome of treating dynamism as a problem to be regulated rather than the engine of prosperity. Without a shift toward lighter rules, lower burdens on enterprise, and greater tolerance for unequal outcomes from unequal effort, the gap will keep widening, and Europe will become an open-air museum for wealthy Americans and Asians.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says Democrats have moved too far left, become too anti-business, and lost touch with common sense: “Stop blaming successful people for everything.”
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon says Democrats have moved too far left, become too anti-business, and lost touch with common sense: “Stop blaming successful people for everything.” 🇺🇸 “I think they just got too far to the left, too anti-business, and too lacking in common sense. Climate change is a real issue. Did we do a lot of intensely stupid things? We did, and people know that. Did we overdo DEI in a lot of cases? Yeah, we did. Who thinks that if we give Washington another trillion dollars, it would be well spent instead of going to special interest groups? The inefficiency in the system is extraordinary.” Stop dragging down America. Stop blaming successful people for everything. Fix the schools. Lift up lower-paid people. I would double the Earned Income Tax Credit. That’s the best way to get money back in their hands.” Jamie is a realist and that pisses a lot of people off. It’s what happens when you fail to identify with one party in complete unison. Having the ability to critically think through issues is beyond rare these days and exactly why we as a country have become so divided.

The City of Philadelphia is soon going to become one of the largest homeowners in the nation. Between this and the idea that fool in the DC city council had yesterday about forcing landlords to a mandatory struggle session with their deadbeat tenants, American cities stay on the cutting edge of extremely dumb housing policy.

Harvard has just released data for the freshman class, the class of 2030. Asian American students make up 43% (41% class of 2029). This undercounts it though because some students did not self report racial background.
Harvard has just released data for the freshman class, the class of 2030. Asian American students make up 43% (41% class of 2029). This undercounts it though because some students did not self report racial background. Black % at 9% (down from 11% class of 2029). White American % is only around 20%. The New American Elite will be invariably Asian & Wasian. This is indisputable at this point. The decline of White Americans at our elite institutions over the past decade is a massively consequential trend, with cultural & social ramifications. https://t.co/EFUbTrQ9ea
