Shoutout to everyone who didn’t fall for the Youtube Premium propaganda

@0xleegenz Unfortunately this is the way things are now. It’s sad

I don’t live in the US but a friend who live there just told me about a new version of the American Dream: - A used Toyota Corolla - No credit card debt - A Costco membership - Being able to pay rent without roommates Is this real?

@Kramaramb @SaiyanSamWiki Simple buy etb for $50 and sell it for $200 make $150 for 10 minutes of work.

@SaiyanSamWiki But how does it breakdown dollars of profit per hour after all expenses?

Can i ask an honest question? What does scalping pay per hour after factoring in gas, fees, and all that? Kinda feel like it's sub minimum wage but what do i know

@blame_orion @JimmyBoone67 @EpochTimes And a walking corpse in 2020 that also was weird.

@JimmyBoone67 @EpochTimes Alll who died to protect this country got slapped in the face when an illegal immigrant and pedophile got elected in 2016 and 2024.

Tell us what you think.

@edward_kaercher @RoadRunnerBird1 @StreetFightsHQ Buying gold chains is marked up so high that the return on investment won’t happen for along time. If you’re looking for investment just buy a gold cheaper than a chain.

@RoadRunnerBird1 @StreetFightsHQ Look at the price of gold if anything that’s an investment

Johnny Dang hooked Sauce Walka up with a $500k Cuban chain and the deal was so massive they had to complete the transaction at the bank.

@randyotti @RagingKuJo1222 To clean trash not everything is about race.

@RagingKuJo1222 How insane can the whites be !!?.. Y'all going around adopting highways now !?

Well apparently when you adopt a highway, you supposedly get control over it. 🤪

@StarveAnArtist @deltasyn @RickF35464 @WallStreetApes I can go to restaurants in different towns near me and the prices change. McDonald’s on one side of town might be more expensive than the other. They’re not all the price.

@deltasyn @RickF35464 @WallStreetApes A corporation is going to base its costs on a "by average" scale. What I mean is, they don't give a fuck about "cost of living" or "what's right". They only care about following "the law".

Americans are saying we need to normalize just leaving if the prices are too high Stop paying and just say no and leave This woman went to KFC. She wanted chicken tenders, no sides, no drink. Just 6 chicken tenders The price was $20. She said no and left I’ve added the price into this video for each count Prices in America are out of control KFC’s largest stock holders are BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street and JPMorgan

@ElonMusky_Fish @WallStreetApes They definitely did make over a billion last year

@WallStreetApes good old "inflation" Taco Bell defiantly didn't make over a billion dollars last year.

The cost of fast food in America continues to climb A regular cheese quesadilla at Taco Bell now comes out to $8.06 For a tortilla and cheese…. I looked it up. In 2019 this same quesadilla cost $2.39. That’s a 223% increase in price The markup on this quesadilla compared to what it actually cost to make is 1100% Many menu items at Taco Bell also saw price increases of 119% since 2019

@Just_Logic_ @Hadoken_Thrower @kirawontmiss Go back and watch as soon as the bus pulls out she honks and hits the brakes.

@Hadoken_Thrower @kirawontmiss Maybe you all have negative of it! I really wonder what and how you read my comment. Seems in video she is not braking from the first moment but later and i am saying she should brake from the first moment she notices something bad in front of her. Read again clever guy!

A truck nearly hit a school bus when it tried crossing the highway😬

@kathy3580 @ReOpenChris He already did

@ReOpenChris God I wish he would run for President!

🚨Governor DeSantis GOES OFF on the INSANE high prices in the Trump economy! “I see gas is $4! I see the groceries. I take my kids to McDonalds for three Happy Meals and it’s $40!!”

@JohnBogleyDC @gatorgar Nothings free. Someone has to foot the bill and company’s never do

@McSyphilisbrain @gatorgar Umm no Employers will continue to pay the majority of their employees' healthcare We will all pay less through our taxes than we pay now

I spent most of my twenties fighting for universal healthcare. At the time, I thought how inhumane it was for people to not receive care just because they can’t afford it. But… what exactly made me think that? Who told me people couldn’t get the care they need under the current system? That’s right, the Democrats. The very people promising to solve that “issue.” The only catch? It’s a nonexistent problem. If you need to see a doctor in America, you can. Period. If you can’t pay the bill? It’ll go to collections and ultimately be written off. Seven years later, it won’t even be on your credit history. We don’t need a socialist healthcare policy in the country to fix a problem that doesn’t exist. What we DO need though is a healthcare system that’s easier to navigate and better information so people understand they can be treated, even if they’re broke.

@JohnBogleyDC @gatorgar You must be a bot. They pay for it for their employees. Not for just for anyone. There is a huge difference

@McSyphilisbrain @gatorgar You just said employers pay for it now

@JohnBogleyDC @gatorgar Employers paying more always ends one way. Prices going up. So in turn you are paying more 🍯

@McSyphilisbrain @gatorgar Appears you do, but not everybody. So what makes you think you'll pay more than you're already paying? Employers would be mandated to pay in as part of the payroll tax

@JohnBogleyDC @gatorgar Everybody in America has it through their job

@McSyphilisbrain @gatorgar You don't have health insurance?

@travbryanmusic @musickristine “This comes without a single tax increase” Ohh it’s coming. Just wait for the tax increase.

But I thought Mamdani ruined NY

@JohnBogleyDC @gatorgar I’m too broke to add another tax sorry but, not sorry. Pay for your own problems. Nobody cares is what I’ve been told.

@gatorgar This is an insane post. You're cool with people not paying? You're cool with people who do have something to lose going bankrupt? What the fuck happened to your brain?

@du54226625 @IHateUrContent @DistressDark Exactly I don’t want to ride public transit.

@IHateUrContent @DistressDark yes to make sure that a metro system isnt formed and that there are only road based transits grwlorwijorgha983eiofads

You just killed like 70% of your town’s local businesses

@jaynitx Wasn’t he born into a wealthy family ? I don’t know too many people without any money traveling to Russia to buy a missile.

In 2002, Elon Musk flew to Moscow three times to buy a refurbished missile. He couldn't close the deal. On the flight home, he asked himself: "When's the last time you bought something Russian that wasn't vodka?" He started SpaceX instead. 1 year later, he stood in front of Stanford students and spent 45 minutes explaining everything he'd learned about building companies: On starting Zip2: This was 1995. Most VCs on Sand Hill Road hadn't even heard of the internet. "I thought it would be a pretty huge thing. It was one of those things that only came along once in a very long while." He got a deferment from Stanford to start the company. "When I talked to my professor and told him this, he said, 'Well, I don't think you'll be coming back.' That was the last conversation I had with him." The problem: he had no money. "I couldn't afford a place to stay and an office. So I rented an office instead, because I got a cheaper office than I could get a place to stay." "I slept on the futon and showered at the YMCA on Page Mill and El Camino." "I was in the best shape I've ever been. Go to shower, work out, and you're good to go." There was an ISP on the floor below them. "We drilled a hole through the floor and connected a null modem cable. That gave us our internet connectivity for like 100 bucks a month." "We had an absurdly tiny burn rate. And we also had a really tiny revenue stream. But we actually had more revenue than we had expenses." They sold Zip2 to Compaq in early 1999 for over $300 million. "In cash. That's a currency I highly recommend." On starting PayPal: "I didn't really take any time off." He was looking for what remained in the internet. Financial services hadn't seen much innovation. "When you think about it, money is low bandwidth. You don't need some big infrastructure improvement. It's really just an entry in a database." They built a platform that combined banking, brokerage, and insurance in one place. That took enormous effort. Then they added a little feature that took one day: the ability to email money from one customer to another. "Whenever we demonstrated these two sets of features, we'd say, 'Look how you can see your bank statement and your mutual funds and insurance, all on one page. Look how convenient that is.'" "And people would go, 'Ho hum.'" "Then we'd say, 'And by the way, we have this feature where you can enter somebody's email address and transfer funds.'" "And they'd go, 'Wow.'" "So we focused the company's business on email payments." On viral growth: "PayPal is really a perfect case example of viral marketing." "One customer would essentially act as a salesperson for you. They would send money to a friend and essentially recruit that friend into the network." "So you had this exponential growth. The more customers you had, the faster it grew." "It was like bacteria in a Petri dish. It just goes like this S-curve." The results: "I ran PayPal for about the first two years of its existence. We launched after year one. By the end of year two, we had a million customers." "We didn't have a sales force. We didn't have a VP of sales. We didn't have a VP of marketing. And we didn't spend any money on advertising." On why product matters: "The essence of viral marketing is: do you have something where one customer is going to sell another customer without you having to do anything?" "Product matters incredibly. Because if you're going to recommend something to somebody, you've got to really love the product experience. Otherwise you're not going to recommend it." "You don't want to burn your friend." On company culture: "We had a pretty flat hierarchy. Everybody had a roughly similar cube. Anyone could talk to anyone." "We had a philosophy of best idea wins. As opposed to the person proposing the idea winning because they are who they are." "Even though there were times when I thought that should have been the way to go." On decision-making: "If there were two paths and one wasn't obviously better than the other, rather than spend a lot of time trying to figure out which one was slightly better, we would just pick one and do it." "Sometimes we'd be wrong and pick the suboptimal path. But often it's better to pick a path and do it than to just vacillate endlessly on a choice." On focus: "We didn't worry too much about intellectual property, paperwork, legal stuff." "We were very focused on building the best product we possibly could." "We were incredibly obsessive about how to build something that is really going to be the best possible customer experience." "That was a far more effective selling tool than having a giant sales force or thinking of marketing gimmicks or 12-step processes." On why he started SpaceX: "I was trying to figure out why we had not made more progress since Apollo." "In the 60s, we went from basically nothing to putting people on the moon. Yet in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, we've kind of gone sideways." "The computer you could have bought in the early 70s would have filled this room and had less computing power than your cell phone. Just about every sector of technology has improved. Why has this not improved?" He thought maybe public support was the problem. So he planned a privately funded Mars mission: put plants growing on Mars for $15-20 million. But the cheapest US rocket was $50 million. So he flew to Moscow. Three trips. Couldn't close the deal. "When I got back from the third trip, I thought: why is it the Russians can build these low-cost launch vehicles? It's not like we drive Russian cars, fly Russian planes, or have Russian kitchen appliances." "When's the last time you bought something Russian that wasn't vodka?" "I think the US is a pretty competitive place. We should be able to build a cost-efficient launch vehicle." On why rockets are expensive: "The energy and velocity required to get into orbit is so substantial that you have almost no margin to play with." "A launch vehicle will get about 2% of its liftoff mass to orbit." "If you're wrong by 2%, you're not going to get anything to orbit. It'll come crashing down in the Pacific somewhere." "That means all of your calculations have to be right. If you miscalculate something, it blows up." On how SpaceX got costs down: Their rocket: $6 million. Nearest competitor: $25 million for less capability. "There's no silver bullet. It's been really hundreds of small innovations and improvements." "We've done improvements in the propulsion system, the structure, the avionics, and the launch operations." "Our overhead in a 30-person company is an order of magnitude less than Lockheed or Boeing. Just for starters." "Every decision we've made has been with consideration to simplicity. Because simplicity both improves reliability and reduces cost." "If you've got fewer components, that's fewer components to go wrong and fewer components to buy." On being an entrepreneur: "I think really an obsessive nature with respect to the quality of the product is very important." "Being obsessive-compulsive is a good thing in this context." "Really liking what you do is important. If you don't like it, life is too short." "If you like what you're doing, you think about it even when you're not working. Your mind is drawn to it." "If you don't like it, you just really can't make it work." On parallelization: "Try not to serialize dependencies. Put as many elements in parallel as possible." "A lot of things have a gestation period. There's really nothing you can do to accelerate that gestation period." "If you can have all those things gestating in parallel, that is one way to substantially accelerate your timeline." "People tend to serialize things too much." On space as a business: Someone asked if SpaceX was a good first company to start. "No. I would not recommend it." "This is advanced entrepreneuring." "You know how many people have said: the fastest way to make a small fortune in the aerospace industry is to start with a large one."

@SirLordsonHQ @eurofounder

@eurofounder That’s terrifying I’m so sorry. You did the right thing calling 911 this was an emergency. Focus on her getting through surgery. The U.S. has excellent care, but the costs can be overwhelming compared to Germany’s system.

My wife collapsed in our hotel room in New York today “Call an ambulance, I can’t breathe” she was screaming My heart dropped If she ends up in an American hospital we are financially ruined I went on the Lufthansa app to book a flight back to Frankfurt, but unfortunately pilots are on strike today “Please I’m begging you” she was lying on the floor I sighed and called 911 She is now in surgery as apparently her appendix “almost burst” I am extremely scared This is going to cost us at least $100,000 She could have received much better care, for free, in Germany I will never visit this barbaric country ever again

@Fazs649779 @ColorPalitt @RavensAreBetta @lonegonerych @tlop444 They both made millions and you believed it 😁

@McSyphilisbrain @ColorPalitt @RavensAreBetta @lonegonerych @tlop444 A beef? Yeah

what happened in 2024 that it wasn’t his year?
