"Zoomers are the first cohort to be fully immersed in the reality of generational downward mobility. While millenials will also earn less than their parents, they were formed under the expectations of America ascending to a kind of Post-History stasis where at worst their status and wealth was permanently locked in.
Zoomers have none of these illusions and rightfully reject the obsolete and facile narratives they’re expected to swallow and obey to make sense of their lives and ambitions. Those are dead narratives. They do not reflect reality at all. They do not reflect the deranged cultural and political circumstances they’re expected to navigate from a position of negative expected value for pretty much any career path outside of genius tech outlier.
Scolding them is a stupid and pointless exercise that will only drive them further into despair and resentment.
Yes. Don’t be resentful. Don’t give in to despair. Be resourceful and lay a claim on your own life. But it’s also going to require offering Zoomers much better and updated narratives and opportunities for how to accrue status and wealth and the basic conditions for living a dignified life for the average guy who is not an outlier tech genius.
There are short, medium, and long term fixes for this. Some straightforwardly political. Some more complex cultural questions. But the implicit promise of boomer America, even Gen X America, is no longer viable, and that broken promise has absolutely nothing to do with Zoomers themselves."

THE DARK REALITY OF HALAL FOOD
What happens when religious legal systems begin shaping public policy?
On Going Rogue with Lara Logan, Lara speaks with Frank Gaffney, founder of the Center for Security Policy, about what he argues are growing accommodations to Sharia within public institutions.
Gaffney points to halal food requirements in government facilities such as schools, hospitals, prisons, and other state institutions. He argues that accommodating halal dietary rules can require separate preparation spaces and specific slaughter practices, raising questions about how religious standards interact with public policy and taxpayer funded institutions.
The discussion examines the broader debate over whether religious legal frameworks like Sharia should influence policies inside public systems in the United States.

WOW 🚨 The Republican Party is protecting Ilhan Omar from accountability

ANALYSIS | 🇮🇷 🇮🇱 — South Pars Under Fire: Israeli Attack Disrupts Iran's Energy Lifeline
South Pars/North Dome is the world’s largest gas field. Iran’s side supplies ~70-80% of the country’s total natural gas production (recently ~700+ million cubic meters/day).
Gas accounts for:
● ~86% of Iran’s electricity generation
Domestic heating/cooking
● Petrochemical industry (Iran’s second-largest export earner after oil, worth billions annually)
â—Ź Some pipeline exports (mainly to Iraq and Turkey)
● Asaluyeh is Iran’s energy “beating heart” — a huge industrial zone employing tens of thousands and processing sour gas from multiple phases.
Short-Term Effects on Iran (State/Economy)
Production disruption:
Affected plants (gas treatment/refineries) taken offline — one estimate suggests up to ~1/5 of processing capacity impacted initially, with linked offshore platforms seeing reduced flow.
Iran immediately halted gas exports to Iraq (which relies heavily on Iranian supply ...
