When people get in their 50s and 60s and up, do you start thinking about how many years you have left? I’m curious..

The U.S. could literally do $20,000/y UBI today without raising taxes if there were no other forms of welfare. If you discarded every program except military/infrastructure/law enforcement/debt repayment, the U.S. federal government would have $20,000 left per adult to spend.

If the average person getting $4k/mo from social security could have put that 12.4% of every paycheck into the S&P instead, they would currently be getting $32k/mo instead of $4k. And their kids would continue to get that $32k/mo after they died. Social Security is a scam.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES!! Sec. Marco Rubio just delivered a mic drop moment in the Cabinet room "What I'm talking about is not the people of Iran. The people that run this country are RADICAL, SHIA CLERICS. These are religious FANATICS. Look what they are doing now at their WEAKEST point!" "This is the weakest Iran has ever been, and look at what they're doing. They're attacking embassies. They're attacking hotels. Imagine what these people would do if they had a nuclear weapon!" "That is an unacceptable risk for the world. By the way, the president's not just doing a favor to the United States and to our people. This is for the world!" "He defined very clearly on the first night of this operation what the goal was. We were going to destroy Iran's navy, and that is happening. We were going to, if it hasn't already happened, I'll let Pete speak to the specifics of it, we were going to destroy their missile launching capabilities." "We're well on our way to achieving that goal. We were going to destroy the factory so they couldn't make more missiles and more drones. And that is moving forward." "Every single objective the president clearly laid out on the first night of this operation is being effectuated." "For 47 YEARS, Iran has been killing Americans and attacking Americans across this planet. And other presidents had an opportunity to DO something about it, and they all warned about how Iran was dangerous, but they refused to act." "And THIS president's not someone that's going to refuse to act. He's not going to leave a danger like this in place. He's going to address it, and that is what he is doing." You make us PROUD, MARCO 🇺🇸

That clip everyone’s watching… That’s not “man vs drone.” That’s an AH-64 Apache hunting. When a helicopter gets parallel with a drone… it’s over. Stable platform… 30mm chain gun dumping rounds… Thermal and laser tracking locked in… That gunner isn’t guessing… he’s walking fire directly into the target. Completely different fight than a guy on the ground trying to hit a fast-moving FPV with a rifle. Ground gunner vs drone… the drone usually wins. Apache gunner vs drone… the drone gets shredded. That video isn’t proof the gunner always wins… It’s proof that air dominance changes everything. #SilentMajoritySpeaks #AStoneGroove

Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing” “Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”

Every man’s dream is to find a beautiful mid that looks at you like this. Not an IG model, not some influencer who “heals through Miami,” but a girl who’s just effortlessly mid… in the most comforting way possible like this barista. She laughs at your jokes, cares if you ate, and looks at you like you’re doing something special. If you find that… keep her. That’s peace

Did not expect Texas of all places to have European-style electrical rationing in hotel rooms. Also, a bit of a critical design oversight when the hotel chain aggressively pushes digital keys.
