If the American worker has never had it better — 46x richer, working 50% fewer hours, dying on the job 60% less often than in 1970 — why does half of Germany just voted for a party built on ethno-nationalism and Putin-worship?

Yaron Brook opens Labor Day by torching the holiday's founding myth: American workers didn't get here because of unions or government mandates — they got here because capital, competition, and freedom made human labor worth more every single year. Then he turns to Germany, where the AfD just posted its strongest result ever — 43.8% of the vote in Saxony-Anhalt — and asks the uncomfortable question nobody in Berlin wants asked: what happens when the only party willing to name migration, energy collapse, and economic stagnation also happens to be ethno-nationalist and pro-Putin?

From there: newly surfaced BBC footage tying a Saudi "student" directly to the 9/11 hijackers, why the Strait of Hormuz is still functionally closed a year after the war "ended," a Volkswagen factory getting a second life building Israeli missile defense systems, and why "proportionality" in warfare is — in Yaron's words — barbarism dressed up as ethics. He closes on a robotic surgical system that can now spot blood vessels and nerves live during brain surgery — proof that human achievement never stops compounding, even while politics tries to strangle it.
