It’s past time to punish it with donor strikes, if conservatives can. But at least under Trump, the Justice Department may start to address it.

Venezuela
The collapse is near.
Via Stephen Green, who writes: “We’re watching the last chapter of Atlas Shrugged play out in Venezuela in realtime.”
Yes, it was supposed to be a cautionary tale, not a how-to manual.
[Update a few minutes later]
Aaaaand the water plants have shut down.
[Update mid-afternoon]
Trump’s biggest challenge: Educating the kids on socialism. We shouldn’t have to do this, but the schools clearly haven’t. And unfortunately, that’s no accident.
The New Soviet (Hu)man
Kamala Harris says we can create it.
These leftists, continually in denial about human nature, have no sense of self awareness.
Colorado
The bullies are running it. And ruining it. We’d been thinking of retiring there, but we’re rethinking that now.
Welcome To Intersectional Brotherhood Week
It’s not much of an improvement on National Brotherhood Week, but everyone still hates the Jooz. And so the saga continues. It won’t end well.
Titania McGrath
The man behind the hyperwoke Twitter account comes out. I’d always assumed it was the same person that ran Godfrey Elfwick, but apparently not.
Wrecking College Students
Three untruths that are harming them. Unfortunately, they’ve been fed a load of toxic nonsense even before they get to campus.
And I have the same reaction to someone who leads an “argument” with “I feel.”
The Most Politically Intolerant Americans
They’re not “the deplorables.” They’re the urban highly “educated” (scare quotes because they aren’t really educated, just credentialed) whites who deplore them. So I guess that’s the real white privilege.
Schools Of Education
They remain a disaster, that should have been abolished long ago.
As a report on education said almost four decades ago, if a foreign power had imposed on the U.S. the educational system we've imposed on ourselves, we would rightly consider it an act of war. https://t.co/rpg0ym3yEh

BTW, I highly recommend Quillette as a web site in general. Claire and others have a lot of smart, heterodox stuff there.
Freeman Dyson
“We don’t understand climate.”
He’s not wrong.
[Update late morning]
Is climate change like an asteroid, or diabetes? I’d say neither, but to the limited degree that it’s an understood problem, diabetes is a much better analogy.
