@davidpattersonx hate to be the pessimist, the automation revolution is more likely to result in a tale of two worlds
a wealthy elite class that seizes the tech and thrives
vs.
the masses who stagnate and eventually die off

You have wasted your money saving for retirement.
You have wasted your life working more to save more.
Within ten years, every adult will have a pension for life that will be worth more than ten times the average salary today.

Politicians play pothole politics
I play world changing solutions

@lj19_86 @MatrixMysteries Which is completely fair in my opinion...but what do we do with the people who opted out and end up being too old to work and also destitute?
English
A daughter loses both parents and checks their Social Security.
They paid in for DECADES — nearly $1,000,000 combined.
Her dad died before seeing a DIME.
Her mom collected for only a few short years.
They paid their whole lives. A lifetime of deposits for almost NOTHING back.
English
@MarioNawfal Police are one of the few government functions that are justifiable social goods.
Mamdani has canceled plans to add another 6,500 officers by 2029
IMO, the best choice is automation via drones, the cheapest and most efficient route
English
🚨🇺🇸New Yorkers chanting "NYPD" outside Mamdani's house to thank the very cops he wanted gone, while demanding the governor remove him.
The honeymoon's over and it barely started.
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal
🇺🇸Mamdani is talking about housing affordability while his city is overrun with crime, open-air drug markets, and businesses fleeing. You can't make a city affordable by making it unlivable first...
English
@ReallyAmerican1 @ZohranKMamdani @MarcoFoster_ @NYCMayor The best things @nycmayor can do to increase housing availability and decrease prices in NYC are as follows:
cliff's notes: government out, 🚫
private sector in 😃
no red🟥 tape,
no absurd compliance laws,
🏗️🌆🏭
go build, get it done
English
Zohran Mamdani on his new Block by Block housing policy: “This is a plan that will do three things: It will build 200K new affordable homes over the next ten years, preserve 200K affordable homes at the same time. It will invest $5.6B into NYCHA public housing in New York City, more of an investment than this city has seen in decades. And finally, it’ll invest in the tenants of today. It’ll actually make it easier for tenants to not only report code violations, but to hold their landlords accountable to ensure that they’re actually living in a place that’s habitable in New York City”
English
@stkbullgod @NYCMayor and others like him around the country are inclined toward rent control and other forms of supply manipulation
these are backward, failing mechanisms that will hurt the very people they're designed to help
English
@TimJDillon spending $20 or more a day on lunch really is a big deal
over the course of 5 years that money can easily turn into +$50,000 if invested wisely into the S&P
English
🚨 HOLY CRAP. Ugandan Mayor Mamdani has stunned New Yorkers by sneaking in MASSIVE FEES to his budget after bailing on his property tax hikes
"Free sh*t" just took ANOTHER blow!
Mamdani is surging fees on:
- Ambulance rides and EMS on scene
- Tree pickup
- Parks concessions
- Taxi permits
He's also taking a BAILOUT from New York State, which basically kicks the can down the road to taxpayers at a later date — totaling $8 BILLION over 2 years
Mamdani is a typical 3rd world scammer.
English
@Malcolm1818 many men tried to make life better for the countrymen
the means must be concomitant with the ends
theft is never justified, even if under the pretense of social welfare and taxation
English
Zohran isn’t a revolutionary, but he is trying to make life better for everyone. And that’s what politics is supposed to be about, isn’t it?
English
@garyseconomics You people have no vision, we should be seeking to diminish or abolish taxation entirely as it's an immoral system of labor and wealth extraction.
For the first time in human history, there are ways to automate social services and infrastructure projects via AI and robotics.
English
Billionaires paying zero tax is radical. Taxing them more is not.
English
@juanjeronimo_ the childcare figure is pretty accurate, depending on the family size
English
Stay At Home Moms matter.
Cooking saves us $30k/year.
Cleaning saves us $40k/year.
Nanny saves us $50k/year.
Housekeeping saves us $20k/year.
So if your partner isn’t making $140k/year, it probably isn’t worth it…
English
@thmoneycircle to the poors it's DEBT
to the rich it's CREDIT
30 years at 2-3% is free money
even a 6% will be covered by the average S&P return alone
English
we have now determined that there is a portion of society that is fucking retarded
3% debt, risk free rate is 5% but we will still pay off the 3% debt
makes zero sense
illuminati@thmoneycircle
I hate to see people think that paying off their 3.75% rate is a good thing Blows my mind 🤦♂️ Would you pay this off??

@NicsJourney unpopular opinion:
BUILD 👷MORE⬆️HOUSES🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️🏘️
see below for a how to guide 👇
English
Unpopular opinion. 2nd homes only occupied or rented out for a few months of the year isn't helping the housing shortage. Where we live, approximately 40% of the homes are 2nd homes; in some areas as high as 85%. Great for the people who can afford it. Not great for all others.
English
@realestatedude0 rent control, anti-flipping, onerous permits & licenses
all these things make buying and renting homes more difficult for the average person
English
Yes. This is how markets work. ALL markets are driven by demand, not supply. Yimbys are idiots; don’t listen to them.
This is also why (reasonable) rent control is fine. In real terms, housing costs are always flat.
Gemma@windupgemma
My last rent increase was because the landlord noticed that the market rate for the area had gone up Not because his costs went up, but because other landlords were charging more in my area and my landlord felt left out and thought I should pay him more for the same thing
English
@DisavowedVet living frugally is an honorable thing, I applaud your discipline
that said, we should be looking for solutions to unaffordable houses and increasing food prices
the free market can do this, the gov't just needs to get out of the way and let us do our thing
English
Class A precision machinist
Lead man - I run the shop on my shift
I don't make 70k
I bought my starter home at 40
Sold it and bought my long term home
A farmhouse built in 1900. its 126 years old
Its worth 280k, on three acres
And its nearly paid off
Because I spent all the years building downpayment by NOT eating out, by driving beaters I could pay cash for, by not buying expensive toys and taking vacation trips and essentially NOT spending on wants, but on needs
When cost of living was higher than my income, I moved
When rent went up, I moved
When gas prices went up, I drove less
When the cost of beef went up, I stopped buying 16/lb cuts and started buying 1/4 cows
The income vs COL dynamic has not dramatically changed
EXPECTATIONS have changed. And many of them are as unrealistic now as they would have been 40 years ago
Flat Ranger - UT@UtahFlatRanger
This retard bought a home four years after the Median age (29 he bought at 33) and now wants that to be the new minimum because he didn't want to work all that hard. Many of my coworkers worked massive amounts of OT to get a downpayment then bought homes at 21-27 Machining. Below the Median(29) at the time. Even if you work absurd amounts of Overtime, unless you get into Oil and Gas or Telecom the BEST you can hope for as a young man is buying a extremely small starter home at 30. These people are fucking Losers projecting onto the next Generation. Every single one of them could have gone into the Trades at 18 and bought a home at 23.

@ArcVyck missed on critical step, baffles must be installed all along the roof line between the rafter to prevent ice dams or trapping heat
improper installation can result in your joists rotting prematurely and your roof collapsing
AI stuff is nice, but inaccurate

@MarcoFoster_ @grahamformaine you've lived in a socialist country your whole life
they are just locking the final chains down for everyone to see
English
Graham Platner calls out Jeff Bezos: “There’s absolutely no question that if we target the wealth where it has been hoarded for decades and put it into social programs like healthcare, childcare, paying teachers what they are worth, we will absolutely improve the lives of working Americans. I think what he is pitching is propaganda. It’s meant to protect himself and protect his crony friends and we’re gonna come after them for it”
English
@Emolclause @50cent Sorry guys you live under socialism, it hasn't become overt communism, but the shades of similarity are too close for comfort
@NYCMayor is simply executing the manifesto written 175 years ago which has slowly been eroding the USA ever since
English
#BREAKING: Ari: “…@50cent said I’ll give you $258,000 and a first class one-way ticket out of NYC…”
Mayor Mamdani: “What I would say to you 50…is I continue to think that having the top 1% of New York City who are making more than a million dollars a year, having them pay 2% more for an economic agenda that would transform every New Yorker’s life, including their own, is something that is worthwhile. And the reason that I say including their own is, when you see a city like ours that is underfunding it’s city agencies, that is pulling back on the most basic things like library services and trash cans, everybody feels the knock on effects of that.”👊
English
@TD0914 @Emolclause @50cent You live in a socialist country:
welfare
public schools
gov't pensions
social security
medicare
medicaid
food stamps
subsidies to corporations
subsidies to non-profits
YOU ARE NOT MAD ENOUGH!
English
@Emolclause @50cent Let me get this right: people bust their ass, make something of themselves, and earn a bunch of money, and you want to take it from them and give it to somebody else? Better yet, your NGOs that are fucking wasting money. Fuckin' piece of shit.
