if we polled citizens if they would accept $20M for a couple years imprisonment, I'm curious the results

🚨The Minnesota fraud empire is falling: Yesterday 15 fraudsters were charged and $90 million was busted. The MSM tried to cover for the fraudsters. @GovTimWalz called it "white supremacy" to expose it and @IlhanMN is completely SILENT. Independent journalism defeated an entire fraud network upheld by billions of dollars with support from corrupt politicians who allowed this fraud and the MSM who failed to report it. Major win for America and hardworking law-abiding taxpaying citizens. This is just the beginning. Arrest them all.

Just learned about the concept of a “telescope ranch” in Texas.
People pay to have their $10,000+ telescope rigs set up in the middle of TX to avoid light pollution.
Every night the roof rolls back off the warehouses.
Then you can remote in to your telescope and use it from anywhere in the world.

We handed children addictive technology before their brains were fully developed and now we’re watching the consequences unfold in real time.
Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos from HHS explains why screen exposure before 18 months may alter brain development, why social media consumption is becoming one of the biggest concerns among parents, and why the Surgeon General’s office is now sounding the alarm.
Since 2010:
Math scores have dropped.
Reading scores have dropped.
Anxiety, attention issues, and screen dependency have skyrocketed.
This is not normal. And pretending it is won’t protect our kids.
Full episode out now on The Ultimate Human Podcast.

I started wearing Western work wear - cause why not change at 48
But here is the real change:
1. I am more recognizable (as a self employed extrovert this is good)
2. I get approached in more random conversations
3. I am more memorable (the guy in the cowboy hat...)
4. I find people let their guard down faster in conversations.
5. It seems to build trust faster
6. I feel very comfortable in it
7. and my wife LOVES it... she just loves it
Win all around in my opinion. Wish I would have done it sooner.

they've been overstaffed since they crossed 40k employees (from my experience there), and it makes the employee experience awful as its impossible to get anything done. Even pre-AI
Company does need to be shaved down, I just wish they were transparent that they messed up by overhiring during covid

Meta laying off 10% of staff when revenue is at an all-time high, revenue growth is a beast (33% YoY!!), profits at an all-time high:
just depressing
These layoffs are not because Meta needs to lay off, but because Zuck wanted to lay off for whatever reason

Kevin O’Leary shares the “pasta house” real estate strategy a billionaire he met used to build his fortune
“I met a billionaire who came over from Poland with his wife, bought a really inexpensive house and ate pasta almost every day until they paid off the mortgage”
“Once the mortgage was paid off, they started eating steak and bought the house beside it and made the new house the pasta house…”
“Over time, he did that until he was a billionaire because the asset value of the land and the houses went up over 30 years”
“All he did was run around the neighborhood buying houses and eating pasta when he had debt and eating steak when he had no debt”

As a longtime automotive technician, I have noticed through the years that almost every time manufacturers come up with new and improved it ends up costing the car owner more money. Here is one example. A simple thermostat, which served us fine for years has now been replaced with a water control valve that is actuated by the car’s computer. So we went from a part that cost around $15 to one that now is $250 and up.

Today, Meta is firing thousands of workers to replace them with AI. If Mark Zuckerberg is willing to lay off 10% of his own employees, what do you think his AI will do to the average American worker?

@RyanJWilmot @LimitingThe too much logic, need more emotion for this meeting
English
@LimitingThe Okay, so let me get this straight: We can't have blinker stalks, a heads up display, apple car play, or a dedicated screen for the driver, like all other cars have, but they're giving us an AC cooled glass roof instead? I can't wait to see how much the replacement cost will be.
English
This is the 'coolest' Tesla patent application I've seen in a couple years.
The outer layer of the glass roof is solid, the inner layer is perforated, and there's an air gap between the two layers.
That means you can pump the HVAC system through the ceiling of the vehicle for even cooling.
It also means the ability to dampen sounds and alter resonance by changing the perforation matrix on the inner layer.

This is true for companies in the trades too
EV/EBITDA multiples or EBITDA $ (or both!) could change quickly which means value can change quickly
Private equity’s risk appetite for HVAC, plumbing, roofing, or any residential & commercial services business can also change quickly
If you’re considering a sale or recapitalization to diversify your wealth but you’re worried about giving away some upside on future growth by exiting early, consider the downside if it doesn’t materialize

Over 450,000 Americans now have alpha-gal syndrome. They're allergic to red meat for the rest of their lives.
The lone star tick causes it. The same tick the U.S. military released 282,800 of across Virginia in the 1960s, made radioactive with Carbon-14.
Before those experiments, lone star ticks didn't exist above the Mason-Dixon Line. Now they're in 30+ states and spreading north every year.
The CDC didn't even recognize alpha-gal as a diagnosis until 2009. Most doctors still miss it. Patients get told it's anxiety or IBS for years before someone thinks to test for it.
A government program bred weaponized ticks. Those ticks now cause a mysterious meat allergy that didn't exist before. And no one in Washington will connect the dots publicly.

Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

Facts It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.

The best advice I always give to newly exited founders:
Open a Vanguard account.
Not Fidelity. Not Schwab.
Vanguard.
'Smart advice,' You might think. 'They do have the lowest fees..'
Wrong.
Their interface is so awful, you will never trade..

🚀 Balloon-launched drones for low-cost, long-range strikes?
Just watched this impressive demo from KettleTech Labs: their “Hornet” fixed-wing UAV is carried by a simple weather balloon to high altitude, auto-released, and glides in with a full battery, dramatically extending range without heavy infrastructure.
Probably invisible to radar too.
Smart engineering that turns basic balloons into force multipliers for scalable aerial operations.
Innovation like this is reshaping defense tech and autonomous systems.

This is what our society fails to comprehend.
If I work as a physical therapist, and I’m good, I’ll make $100,000/yr. And pay $15,000 in taxes. I can see 60 patients per week. But that’s the end of it. No additional tax money, no more patients can get my services. I provide a living for myself and my family.
If I own a practice and employee 10 therapists that each make $100,000, now I’m providing a living for 10 families, and because of my efforts there is now $250,000 in tax revenue.
So why should businesses get taxed more? Why should they even have to pay payroll taxes? My value to society is way more than 10X at this point.
But the vast majority of Americans can’t comprehend that, neither do our congressional representatives.
