Gavin Newsom's Real Origin Story I thought it would be fun to do one on a very interesting origin story of Gavin Newsom. His grandfather is the first in the family to have political ties and aspirations. William Newsom II was the protégé of the political boss in California and a close friend to Pat Brown, who would become California's governor. Pat Brown is the father of Jerry Brown, the long-term governor of California. Gavin's dad met Gordon Getty, one of the heirs to the Getty family fortune, in college. They became best friends and that relationship would be important to the lives of Gavin's dad, William III, and Gavin himself. There are so many interesting details to this story, from Gavin's dad rescuing a kidnapped Getty in Italy, to Gavin running all the cool restaurants in San Francisco in his early 20s with Getty family money, to the Pelosi connection, and more. #politics #gavinnewsom #cali #news

BREAKING: David @friedberg says "California is functionally bankrupt" "People don't realize how screwed California is, & I worry that if California falls, so does the union. "$250 billion to $1 trillion short." "This is because for California to get rescued would be a big cost to red states, & I think it creates in the years ahead a lot of tension." "California's functional bankruptcy is a major risk to the country. & I think we need to figure out what we can change to fix it." How we got here: "California has a public pension system, & that public pension system retirees have paid into it & they get some benefits out, & the amount that they're owed back out is somewhere between $250 billion - $1 trillion dollars more than has been paid in. $250 billion to $1 trillion short. If it was the federal government, it would be like, okay, we'll just print more money. California doesn't have the ability to print money, so California has to pay this out, and you can't restructure retirement benefits. There is a Supreme Court case in California that said that once an employee has been offered retirement benefits, even if they're currently an employee, you can never restructure their retirement benefits. It has to stay forever, and the state cannot declare bankruptcy. There's no way for the state to functionally declare bankruptcy. There's no law to allow it. No state has ever declared bankruptcy, and the retirement benefits sit senior to the bonds in California. So you have to pay out the retirement benefits before you pay out all the bond holders that have loaned California the money that they use to run all their programs and services."

David Sinclair said: "You can reverse aging by 75% in 6 weeks… by reinstalling the "software" of the body so that it's young again." This idea sprouted when he proved in his first experiment that you can accelerate aging in mice: "We took two mice born on the same day—same age, same genetics. We 'scratched the CD' of one mouse, corrupting its software and accelerating its aging. The result was dramatic. One looked far older than its brother." He believed if you can give aging, you can also take it away. Tomorrow, I'll share his experiment on how he reversed aging in mice (and then Monkeys). — @davidasinclair
