Dear socialists, When you get a minute, and that shouldn’t be hard considering most of you don’t have jobs, pop in to South Florida and find a Cuban cafe. Make sure to tell everyone there sipping their coffee how great socialism is. Let us know how it goes. Thanks!
Here is a fun little puzzle for anyone who says the left is all about diversity and lifting up immigrants.
Elon Musk just became the first person in history to reach a net worth of one trillion dollars. He was born in Pretoria, South Africa. He came to America the legal way, earned his citizenship in 2002, and built companies that put rockets in orbit and electric cars in millions of driveways.
By any honest reading of the words, he is an African who became an American. A self-made immigrant success story.
So where are the celebrations from the people who say they love immigrants and worship green energy?
Nowhere to be found.
Here is the part that makes you laugh out loud. Not long ago, that same crowd adored this man. Tesla was the official car of the climate movement. Democrats made up about 40 percent of Tesla buyers. They parked his cars in their driveways like a badge of honor.
Then Musk did the unforgivable. He started thinking for himself. He questioned the spending, the censorship, and the narrative. He stopped voting the way they told him to.
And just like that, the hero became the villain.
The cars they once bragged about got bumper stickers that read, I bought this before Elon went crazy. The man they praised became, in their own words, public enemy number one.
Nothing about Musk changed except his politics. Same immigrant. Same companies. Same electric cars they used to love.
That is the tell. The applause was never about the achievement. It was about obedience.
We have always believed people should be judged by their work and their character, not by whether they fall in line. Musk earned every dollar of his success. The only thing he refused to do was bow.
For years, Democrats and their left-wing allies have acted as if basic economics can be bullied into submission with a slogan, a protest sign, and a government mandate.
They demanded higher wages for entry-level fast food jobs, not because every franchise owner suddenly had extra money lying around, but because it sounded good politically.
And that is always the problem.
It sounds compassionate. It sounds fair. It sounds like standing up for the little guy.
Then reality shows up.
A few years ago, the big rallying cry was the $15 minimum wage. Democrats treated it like some magical solution that would lift everyone up with no downside, no trade-offs, and no consequences.
Then the kiosks arrived.
Now, as the push gets even more aggressive, franchise owners and fast food chains are doing exactly what any rational business would do when labor costs are pushed beyond what the business model can absorb.
They are replacing people with machines.
Not because they are evil. Not because they hate workers. Because they have to survive.
A self-service kiosk does not call in sick. A robot arm does not demand overtime. An ordering screen does not trigger payroll taxes, benefits, scheduling headaches, or lawsuits.
That is the part the left never wants to talk about.
When politicians force costs higher, businesses adapt. Sometimes they raise prices. Sometimes they cut hours. Sometimes they close locations. And sometimes, they automate the very jobs Democrats claimed they were trying to protect.
The sad irony is that the people cheering the loudest for these policies are often the same people hurt first when the entry-level ladder gets pulled away.
Maybe leftists should think things through before taking action that makes their own lives worse.
Good intentions do not repeal economics. They just make the consequences more expensive.
After all, folks:
“Unfortunately, the real minimum wage is always zero, regardless of the laws, and that is the wage that many workers receive in the wake of the creation or escalation of a government-mandated minimum wage, because they lose their jobs or fail to find jobs when they enter the labor force. Making it illegal to pay less than a given amount does not make a worker’s productivity worth that amount—and, if it is not, that worker is unlikely to be employed.” ― Thomas Sowell, Basic Economics: A Citizen’s Guide to the Economy
10 years. 10 years. I’ve listened to every Dem & never Trump pundit call Trump, Elon and anyone else who voted Republican a Nazi. And now they line up behind Platner, with an actual Nazi tattoo. Unbelievable.
Democrats doing what democrats do! They used to love calling other people Nazis, fascist, communist or whatever, when in reality they were it the whole time! It’s a Democrat thing.
