Erika Kirk turned her husband’s murder into the business opportunity of a lifetime. She has a lot to teach us about deals.
Why is Andrew Ross Sorkin hosting Erika Kirk at the Dealbook Summit?
Honest line of inquiry - what could she possibly elevate about macroeconomic factors that's so important it crowds out her organization's relentless bigotry?

One could agree with Peter Thiel that Greta Thurnbergism is an evil, because it’s lowered economic growth in Europe to the level where Thiel’s acolytes can take power.

It’s wrong to lump all top Trump people in one category. There are differences among them. But they do seem to fall into three (sometimes overlapping) categories:
• Ordinary criminals (grift and corruption).
• Sex criminals.
• War criminals.

It’s so fucking stupid even if you’re maximally cynical. Oh the guy who bought all the Burger Kings in Russia for $1 in 2022 will just give them back.

JD Vance's ideal America is a place with half the GDP where everyone with potential and options gets the fuck out, a shithole that people from countries with actual dynamism visit to watch chintzy 'traditional' dances before going home.

Literally the reason Twitter sucks now is all these foreigners logged on willing to do racism for pennies on the dollar and undercut our home-grown American racists. We need to erect serious trade barriers to protect the integrity of our domestic racism industry and preserve racist jobs.
