The reason immigration is the single most important political issue is because it is very hard to reverse if it turns out it was a mistake, and doing so requires colder hearts than most modern Westerners possess. Much better to simply not roll those dice.

A life lesson I wish I learned earlier: A farmer doesn’t dig up his seeds every day to make sure they’re growing. He plants, waters, and waits. You can’t rush what needs time to take root. Growth hides beneath the surface long before it’s visible above it. Remember that.

NYC’s changing of the guard: Wall Street’s shrinking, but the nonprofit industrial complex is exploding—fueled by $20B+ in public funds and staffed by anti-capitalist revolutionaries. Nonprofits now make up 17% of NYC’s private workforce and added nearly all new jobs last year.
