One of these men is the state Senator from the 14th district in Georgia, and the other is about to be the state Senator from the 14th district in Florida:

@Antunes1 I’m a Canadian living in Mexico now. I post about everything, but most of my followers are in the US. I’ll be traveling a lot in the future, up to six months at a time, and I’m a legit content creator on 𝕏 going full time next week. I’m very concerned.

The best life does not involve dying at 53 and spending most of your twenties in the 70’s.

This is why I think FDR is overrated. Did lot of good, but wage caps were an unmitigated disaster we are still dealing with

Tying health care to employment was one of our worst economic decisions…huge disincentive to leave a steady job to start your own company…how many good ideas have been left on the shelf?

People were outraged at the $500k couple, but the underappreciated aspect of the story is that the woman making $36k lives in the same neighborhood and leads a similar lifestyle, minus saving $10k per month, because she is a beneficiary of various subsidies, including a rent stabilized apartment.
New York is unaffordable for some people, because the state and city are bleeding those people to give free stuff to other people, for whom New York is free.

The Florida Panther has been nearly wiped out. It's been reduced to only a small range, mostly just protected land in the Everglades.

Everything costs less than the cost of high speed rail from SF to LA, which is infinite.

@mcuban What about hospital systems? Insurance isn’t the one charging 3k for gauze
English
I don’t think people realize how much healthcare costs are driving big companies to fire and not hire.
It costs them $30k per family, per year for premiums and care. Most of that goes to the massive, vertically integrated insurance companies that send weekly bills that no one reviews in details. And it doesn’t include the company overhead to deal with it all. It’s usually the 2nd largest expense after payroll. Which is insane
It’s far easier to blame AI than it is to blame Healthcare costs.
Want to increase jobs, wages and improve affordability for every American ?
Break up the biggest insurance companies. Make divest non insurance companies. They don’t need thousands of subsidiaries. That’s how they game and abuse the system and increase costs for all of us.
Call your senator and tell them to support the BreakUp Big Medicine Bill by @HawleyMO and @SenWarren.

@GalvinAlmanza I think the law firms, banks, and consultants do understand this. AI CEO’s just seem addicted to selling doom to make their product seem impressive. Strange pitch

I don't get how people are planning to sidestep the very basic problem that if you don't have junior hires right now, you won't have experienced people 5 or 10 years later.
CG@cgtwts
Anthropic CEO: “50% of all entry-level Lawyers, Consultants, and Finance Professionals will be completely wiped out within the next 1–5 years." grad students and junior hires are cooked.

@dccommonsense I tend to agree, but it might not matter given our tactical superiority. All of Gaul knew Caesar would besiege Alesia. Didn’t change the outcome.
The strategic/political leadership is where I have doubts!

I'm gonna assume the military made it clear that we shouldn't land where everyone (everyone!) is expecting us to in the Hormuz area. If we do though...what a tough situation to put our people in. War is hard enough on the people impacted by it without telegraphing your arrival.

everyone's interpreting this as proof of a bubble
