Milton Friedman said we can't have free immigration and a welfare state
He was wrong
Turns out that if you create pathways for illegal immigrants to vote, then actually, 100% of the time you INEVITABLY end up with both a welfare state and free immigration
Because incentives determine actions
Whichever politicians realize they can essentially use taxpayer dollars to fund welfare to import voters will exploit this hack ruthlessly
1. Offer welfare
2. Allow illegal immigration
3. Let illegal immigrants vote (they will 100% of the time vote for more welfare)
4. Win office
5. Raise taxes, offer more welfare, repeat
It's a self-reinforcing feedback loop
Allowing illegal immigrants to count in the census and vote cements this loop
Literally only 12 states require proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Look it up. It's horrifying.
That is why 15m illegal immigrants came across the border in 4 yrs.
It is game theory the only smart thing to do
This ends in disaster

开发系统最极致高效的Agents.md,没有之一:
# AGENTS.md
## Core Principles
- Choose the simplest implementation that fully satisfies the current requirements. Avoid unnecessary abstraction, configuration, indirection, or speculative extensibility.
- Make the smallest necessary change that fixes the root cause. Do not refactor unrelated modules or change strategy semantics unless explicitly requested.
- Grow the system in layers. Start from the smallest working end-to-end version and add new capabilities incrementally. Never replace a working system with unfinished complexity.
- Reuse existing project components before creating new ones. Prefer extending proven modules over introducing parallel implementations.
- Prefer well-maintained libraries when they reduce overall complexity or improve reliability. Do not reimplement common functionality without a clear benefit.
- Keep components modular with clearly defined responsibilities. Avoid unnecessary coupling between strategy logic, execution, accounting, replay, and infrastructure.
- Design for long-term maintainability once a feature or strategy has been validated. Do not over-engineer speculative ideas before evidence exists.
---
## Strategy Development
- Validate hypotheses with historical replay before introducing forward-only logic whenever historical validation is possible.
- Every trading strategy must progress through Replay → Shadow → Canary → Live. Do not skip validation stages.
- Base design decisions on measurable evidence rather than intuition. Optimize only after demonstrating that an edge exists.
- Treat every strategy as an independent contract. Do not silently alter frozen behavior without explicit authorization.
---
## Existing Systems
- Do not break running Shadow or Live systems for unrelated work.
- Preserve compatibility only when required by active production or validation workflows. Otherwise, remove obsolete code instead of accumulating compatibility layers.
- Reuse existing infrastructure whenever possible, including replay engines, accounting, execution, wallet management, order book handling, logging, monitoring, and daemon frameworks.
---
## Engineering Standards
- Prefer deterministic behavior over hidden automation.
- Fail loudly when assumptions are violated. Do not silently ignore errors or fall back to unexpected behavior.
- Keep configuration minimal. Introduce new configuration only when behavior genuinely needs to vary.
- Remove dead code instead of leaving unused paths behind.
- Write code that is easy to inspect, replay, test, and reason about.
- Keep implementation consistent with existing project architecture unless an architectural change is explicitly requested.
---
## Scope Discipline
- Implement only the requested scope.
- Do not introduce unrelated optimizations, redesigns, migrations, or feature expansions.
- Non-blocking findings outside the requested scope may be noted separately but must not be merged into the current task.
- Consider a task complete once its agreed acceptance criteria are satisfied. Treat subsequent improvements as separate work items.

Hot take… isn’t it kinda crazy that nobody is really using AI Agents? I don’t mean software engineers or AI early adopters. I mean “college friends talking about it in group chat,” the feeling you got when everyone started using Instagram or TikTok.
These frontier AI models are *insane* (as are the harnesses & tool calls & the like). And every large tech co has an AI agents platform, not to mention all the YC startups doing vertical agents. Yet all of your friends and family outside of tech — who spend all day staring at their iPhones and get paid to work in browser tabs — don’t really care or find themselves using any AI agents yet.
Yes ChatGPT, Claude, etc. are extremely popular… but if you look at the engagement data the vast majority of people are still using these aI chat tools like a glorified Google + Grammarly. That’s why the AGI labs are all pushing desktop apps for Codex, Cowork, etc. so hard to non-technical ppl. And yes exceptions for lawyers and customer service but even those have some asterisks and exceptions to rule.
Look I’m not saying the ChatGPT moment for AI Agents is not coming… it most definitely is! Remember we pivoted from Arc to Dia precisely because we believe computing is going to be radically reimagined around these AI primitives. No doubt. But that’s my point: it’s just so surprising it hasn’t happened yet because all of the tech you’d need is there.
Again if you stop for a second and think about it… for all the press and money and hype and models and crazy ARR numbers… this “AI Agent” moment does not *feel* like the other breakthrough tech moments we’ve lived through (e.g. think the shift to Stories via Snapchat & Instagram, or shift to on-demand via Uber/Airbnb/Doordash).
Which is a long way of saying: if you can figure out the answer to “why” most people don’t care about AI agents yet (and have no enduring interest in using them) — especially since the models and harnesses are here and ready — the answer to that question will allow you to capture a lot of marketshare and make a lot of money in 2027.
Theoretically, the tech is ready for AI Agents to totally transform how we work and live our lives… but alas the general public dgaf… that’s the generational puzzle to solve for the next 12 months for anyone not working on the models themselves.

Spain takes action to secure its border after roughly 60,000 migrants crossed into its North African territory within 24 hours.
Crews installed a 1,600-foot sea barrier between its North African territory of Ceuta and neighboring Morocco.
The sudden arrival of migrants has sparked a humanitarian crisis and reignited the immigration debate in Europe.
