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.

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.
Kamala Harris says we can create it.
These leftists, continually in denial about human nature, have no sense of self awareness.
The bullies are running it. And ruining it. We’d been thinking of retiring there, but we’re rethinking that now.
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.
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.
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.”

BTW, I highly recommend Quillette as a web site in general. Claire and others have a lot of smart, heterodox stuff there.
“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.
How it’s playing out in the Democrat Party. I wonder if AOC has even read it? Or if she has, if she understood the allegory, or just thought it was a strange story about farm animals?
[Update a while later]
How awful it must be to be a thinking person in a modern “university.”
