@CovenantBeacon @BYUbluThru @grok is this true?

Who was the idiot who thought it was a bright idea to make our names, addresses, and voter ID numbers public??

@tvheidihatch Oh safety concerns ... Where have I heard that before. Oh I remember, when the @utahathletics cancelled the basketball rivalry because they sucked. It ain't safety, it's woke cancer @UVU that's the problem

BREAKING: UVU drops commencement speaker due to 'safety concerns' after intense backlash "Due to increased safety concerns related to the speaker and in consultation with public safety professionals and Sharon McMahon, Utah Valley University has decided to proceed without a featured commencement speaker for this year’s ceremony," UVU officials said.

Cancelled @YouTube premium. Say no to price hikes by cancelling that crap.

Universal low or high income won't matter. I'd you give everyone $1M then the value of $1 becomes a penny because everyone has $$ and inflation is inevitable. UBI is not the American dream, it's a never ending tax which becomes entitlement culture, socialism at best, communism at worst

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@AIHighlight This articulates the biggest risk that AI disruption brings and the earning solution paradox. Nobody really wants UBI because it's essentially communism. That was proven a failure 40 years ago. So how do displaced workers make a living?

🚨BREAKING: Two researchers from UPenn and Boston University just published a paper that should be uncomfortable reading for every CEO automating their workforce right now. The argument is straightforward. Every company replacing workers with AI is also eliminating its own future customers. Laid off workers stop spending. Enough of them stop spending and nobody can afford to buy anything. The companies that fired everyone end up selling into an economy with no purchasing power left. Every executive can see this. The math is not complicated. But here is why nobody stops. If you do not automate, your competitor does. They cut costs, lower prices, take your market share, and you collapse anyway. So every company automates knowing it is collectively destructive because the alternative is dying alone while everyone else survives. The researchers proved this is a Prisoner's Dilemma playing out in real time. The numbers are already moving. Block cut nearly half its 10,000 employees this year. Jack Dorsey said AI made those roles unnecessary and that within the next year the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion. Salesforce replaced 4,000 customer support agents with AI. Goldman Sachs deployed a coding tool that lets one engineer do the work of five. Over 100,000 tech workers were laid off in 2025 and AI was cited as the primary driver in more than half those cases. 80% of US workers hold jobs with tasks susceptible to AI automation. The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income does not change a single company's incentive to automate. Capital income taxes adjust profit levels but not the per-task decision to replace a human. Collective bargaining cannot hold because automating is always the dominant strategy. They also identified what they call a Red Queen effect. Better AI does not solve the problem, it accelerates it. Every company chases faster automation to gain market share over rivals but at the end everyone has automated equally, the gains cancel out, and the only thing left is more destroyed demand. The one thing the math says could work is a Pigouvian automation tax. A per-task charge that forces companies to account for the demand they destroy each time they replace a worker. The conclusion is that this is not a transfer of wealth from workers to owners. Both sides lose. Workers lose income. Companies lose customers. It is a deadweight loss with no market mechanism to stop it on its own.

YES @Pebble this day 10 years in the making. Can't believe it's finally here!!

@For3JT @VoteTrevorLee Totally agree. Wife asked me what this is all about and I simply told her, it just means we'll be trying A LOT more political junk mail

Hey @VoteTrevorLee how do you sponsor this bullshit? I am all for voter ID, 100%. I’ll go as far as I’m all in on in-person voting too. But why the hell is my home address going to be public information???

@ToddLlewellyn What kind of friend pays someone else 2.5x more?! That's weird behavior

One time I gave a water softener quote to a friend. He said, "company xyz quoted me 2.5x your price." I said, "they sell the same system as me." He said, "that's not possible. There is no way you can sell their same system at that much better of a price. Their system must be much better." I said, "if you want I can charge you 2.5x more..." He bought their system. It was the same as mine. There is a lesson here for both me and him.

@pepemoonboy This is propaganda. They want you to own nothing all so the American dream can die. Don't fall for this BS. Go buy you a house, with a wife, and breed yourself to happiness and enduring joy.

I ran the numbers on renting and investing the difference vs. buying a home... The results are shocking. The setup: - Median U.S. home sale price: $398,000 (NAR, 2026) - Average U.S. rent: $2,000/mo (Zillow, 2026) - Mortgage rate: 6.51% (30yr fixed, 10% down) All in monthly cost of owning that home: - P&I: $2,266 - Property tax: $332 - Insurance: $215 - Maintenance: $332 - PMI: $149 - Total: $3,294/mo Renting cost: - Rent: $2,000 - Renters insurance: $14 - Total: $2,014/mo The renter saves $1,280/mo. Plus the $51,740 in down payment and closing costs never leaves their pocket. All of it goes into $VOO. Using the long term S&P 500 avg return of 10% and home appreciation of 3.4%/yr (the avg since 1891): After 10 years: - Renter portfolio: $334K - Home equity (net of selling costs): $219K - Renter wins by $115K After 20 years: - Renter portfolio: $927K - Home equity: $531K - Renter wins by $397K After 30 years: - Renter portfolio: $2.41M - Home equity: $1.02M - Renter wins by $1.39M Even if you give the home 5% annual appreciation, the renter still wins at every single checkpoint. At $VOO's actual historical return of 13.99%, the renter's portfolio hits $6.38M after 30 years. The home equity is still $1.02M. The part nobody talks about: after 30 years your rent is $5,614/mo. Sounds scary. But your portfolio is generating $20K+/mo at a 10% return. You could pay that rent 3x over and never touch the principal. A home is a place to live. $VOO and the stock market is a wealth building machine. Not financial advice. There are lots of variables I may be missing. Run your own numbers.

@TimurNegru I'd make one permit request to the local authority and get stonewalled for months/years as my capital gets drained in paying on the loan while Italy bites their thumb at a foreigner who thinks they can make this ageless utopia a value to the community.

What would you do with 3 private stone houses, a vineyard, 200 olive trees and 9 hectares (22 acres) of Tuscany for €500k ($580k)? Here's what I'd do: call two of my closest friends, split it three ways at roughly €167k each, and everyone gets their own house with their own front door, their own kitchen and their own life, so nobody is in each other's way. Then you add a pool, a sauna and an outdoor kitchen, and given you're already 5 minutes from Saturnia, one of Europe's most famous thermal springs, the wellness infrastructure is basically there already. Grow your own food, press your own olive oil from the 200 trees, make wine from the vineyard that's already there.. What would your version of this look like, and who would you do it with?

The literal resurrection of Jesus is, of course, the subject of so many scriptures that it is settled doctrine for believers of the Bible and Book of Mormon. For us, the universal resurrection is equally certain. I wonder if we fully appreciate the enormous significance of our belief in a literal, universal resurrection. The conviction that death is not the conclusion of our identity changes the whole perspective of our mortal life. It affects how we look on the physical challenges of mortality. It gives us the strength and perspective to endure the mortal challenges faced by each of us and by those we love. It signifies that mortal deficiencies are only temporary! It also gives us the courage to face our own death or that of loved ones—even deaths we might call premature. Our belief in the resurrection also encourages us to fulfill our family responsibilities in mortality. It helps us live together in love in this life in anticipation of joyful reunions and associations in the next. #GreaterLove #GeneralConference Artwork: “Above All” by Kelsy and Jesse Lighweave

@ToddLlewellyn This is actual blue collar vibe coding

One of the most blue-collar things you can ever do is make a list on a random piece of cardboard with a sharpie.

Yeah marriage!!
