Milton Friedman, Nobel Prize-winning economist, once went through the major U.S. government departments and said which ones should stay and which should go: • Department of Agriculture: Abolish • Department of Commerce: Abolish • Department of Defense: Keep • Department of Education: Abolish • Department of Energy: Abolish (move the nuclear/military piece under Defense) • Department of Health and Human Services: Cut in half (limited public health role only) • Department of Housing and Urban Development: Abolish • Department of the Interior: Sell off most government land, and abolish • Department of Justice: Keep • Department of Labor: Abolish • Department of State: Keep • Department of Transportation: Abolish • Department of Treasury: Keep (to collect taxes) • Department of Veterans Affairs: Pay veterans off, and abolish Result: roughly 14 departments down to about 4–5. Government’s real jobs, he said: defend the country, keep the peace, and protect people from being coerced by others. Everything else is outside its proper role.

HARD TO BELIEVE, BUT ELON MUSK'S SCHOOL THOUGHT HE WAS "RETARDED," SAYS HIS FATHER ERROL MUSK... YEARS LATER EVERYONE REALIZED IT WAS GENIUS pretoria, south africa, around 1979. Elon is 7 or 8, in grade two the headmaster calls his father and says they need to talk Errol drives over sure he knows what it is. Elon had a habit: adults would see him with some huge book and ask if he was just looking at the pictures. Elon would tell them "no, of course not, stupid" so Errol expects to hear his son insulted a teacher instead he walks into the office and finds the headmaster and an older teacher wringing her hands the headmaster says it straight: "we think your son is retarded" the evidence? everyone in class is taking notes. Elon sits and stares out the window the teacher has to walk up and push him on the shoulder before he even notices her she asks what he's doing he says the trees are getting their leaves Errol: "well, that's reasonable. i don't see anything wrong with that" the school: something is wrong with him their fix was a hearing test. his hearing was fine. Errol moved him to a private school and, in his words, "we never had any more problems" now look at what that "problem" actually was a kid who goes so deep into one thing that the rest of the room disappears his father says it never went away. even today, he says, you can be rude to Elon and it doesn't land. it just bounces off the same trait the school flagged as a defect is the one that later taught him to code by himself and sell his first video game at 12 had him reading the encyclopedia when he ran out of books built a rocket company out of nothing but obsession the school wasn't wrong about the data. he really wasn't paying attention to them they were wrong about the price markets do this all the time. the thing that looks broken is just optimized for something you're not measuring the school graded attention. the world ended up paying for focus

ON UCHICAGO CAMPUS: U.S. Senator from Michigan Elissa Slotkin hopes planned political prosecutions of republican leaders will scare young conservatives from getting involved in politics. @ElissaSlotkin

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the first person I met on my first day of college. Here’s what most court-watchers miss about her approach to being a Justice.

@AbdulElSayed thinks the United States of America shouldn’t have gone to war with Japan in WW2. What!! 😂🤣 So disrespectful.

“What does finish it actually mean?" @JerseyJustinUSA hits the nail on the head. New Jersey needs a Senator who can make tough calls and prioritize what's best for the future over what's best for politics. Don’t be dumb New Jersey. Vote Justin Murphy.
