Every tech blog says M5 Mac Mini and Mac Studio at WWDC in June. WWDC is a software event. Apple announces hardware via press release or standalone events. Mac Mini and Mac Studio are out of stock everywhere. M5 Pro is already unveiled. The MacBooks already shipped. This is an April release.

Without those Democrat billionaires and millionaires, she wouldn’t be in Congress. It’s bad for people like Elon who built companies, changing humanity’s lives and employing thousands of people by contributing to the economy, but it’s good for her own millionaire and billionaire buddies. So pathetic.

Absolute banger explanation of why AOCs recent comments about it being impossible to earn a billion dollars is not only wrong, but societally harmful
Brivael Le Pogam@brivael

AOC vient d'expliquer qu'on ne peut pas "gagner" un milliard de dollars. Que c'est mathématiquement impossible. Que tout milliardaire est forcément un voleur, un abuseur de lois du travail, un payeur sous-évalué. Ce niveau d'ignorance économique de la part d'une élue qui légifère sur l'économie devrait nous faire hurler. Reprenons depuis le début, parce qu'apparemment c'est nécessaire. Un milliardaire n'est pas quelqu'un qui a un milliard de dollars en cash sur son compte. Un milliardaire est quelqu'un dont le marché évalue les actifs (principalement des parts d'entreprise) à un milliard ou plus. Elon Musk n'a pas "pris" 800 milliards à quelqu'un. Il a créé Tesla, SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Le marché évalue ces entreprises à plusieurs trillions cumulés. Il en détient une fraction. C'est ça, sa "fortune". La question fondamentale qu'AOC ne se pose jamais : d'où vient la valeur ? La valeur n'est pas un gâteau fixe qu'on se partage. La valeur est créée. Quand SpaceX divise par 10 le coût du lancement orbital, ce n'est pas du vol, c'est de la création pure. Avant Musk, lancer un kilo en orbite coûtait 50K$. Aujourd'hui 1.5K$. Cette création de valeur est mesurable, vérifiable, et bénéficie à toute l'humanité. L'internet par satellite couvre des zones que les États ont été incapables de connecter en 50 ans. Les voitures électriques ont forcé toute l'industrie auto à se réinventer. Maintenant, la question centrale qu'AOC évite soigneusement : qui devrait allouer les ressources dans une société ? Parce que l'argent, fondamentalement, c'est ça. Un signal d'allocation. Décider où va le capital, le travail, l'énergie, le temps humain. Trois options historiques : L'État (bureaucrates élus ou nommés) Les comités citoyens (démocratie directe) Les entrepreneurs qui ont prouvé leur capacité d'allocation par leurs résultats L'option 1 a été testée massivement au 20ème siècle. URSS, Chine maoïste, Venezuela, Cuba, Corée du Nord. Résultat : famines, pénuries, effondrement. Des dizaines de millions de morts. L'allocation étatique est un désastre empirique total. L'option 2 n'a jamais existé à grande échelle pour des raisons mathématiques. Le calcul économique nécessaire pour allouer les ressources d'une économie moderne dépasse les capacités cognitives d'une assemblée. Hayek l'avait démontré dès 1945 (The Use of Knowledge in Society). L'option 3, c'est le marché. Et le marché récompense ceux qui allouent bien. Ceux qui allouent mal font faillite, perdent leur capital, sortent du jeu. Les survivants sont par sélection darwinienne les meilleurs allocateurs disponibles. Elon Musk est riche parce qu'il a prouvé, sur 25 ans, qu'il alloue mieux le capital que 99.9999% de l'humanité. PayPal. Tesla. SpaceX. Starlink. Chaque fois, il a pris du capital et l'a transformé en infrastructure civilisationnelle. La vraie question n'est pas "pourquoi Musk a tant", c'est : "pourquoi n'a-t-il pas plus ?" Sérieusement. Si on veut maximiser la création de valeur pour l'humanité, on devrait vouloir que les meilleurs allocateurs aient accès à plus de capital, pas moins. Donner 100 milliards à AOC pour qu'elle les redistribue selon sa vision morale, c'est garantir leur destruction. Donner 100 milliards à Musk, c'est probablement obtenir des bases martiennes, de l'énergie quasi-gratuite, et une révolution robotique. Le préjugé d'AOC, c'est que la richesse est un péché moral. C'est une vision théologique, pas économique. Elle traite le capital comme un stock à confisquer, pas comme un flux à orienter vers les usages les plus productifs. Et c'est là que sa thèse devient grotesque : "vous payez les gens moins que ce qu'ils valent." Définition de "ce qu'ils valent" selon AOC : ce qu'AOC pense qu'ils devraient toucher. Définition selon le marché : ce qu'un autre employeur est prêt à leur offrir. Si Tesla payait ses ingénieurs en dessous de leur valeur, ces ingénieurs partiraient chez Google, Apple, Meta. Ils restent. Donc la rémunération est compétitive. Mécanisme de base que tout étudiant en L1 d'éco comprend. Le pattern fondamental : AOC, et toute la classe politique qui pense comme elle, n'a jamais alloué une seule ressource productive de sa vie. Jamais embauché en assumant le risque salarial. Jamais investi son capital dans un projet incertain. Jamais créé une entreprise qui survit. Et pourtant elle veut décider qui peut posséder quoi. C'est l'équivalent de quelqu'un qui n'a jamais joué aux échecs voulant arbitrer un tournoi de grands maîtres en réécrivant les règles à mi-partie. Ce qui est triste, c'est que cette vision a un coût massif. Chaque fois qu'on taxe les meilleurs allocateurs, on détourne du capital de ses usages productifs vers des usages politiques (subventions, clientélisme, projets vanity étatiques). La France en sait quelque chose. 50 ans de redistribution, ISF, exit tax, taxe à 75%. Résultat : zéro géant tech, fuite des cerveaux, dette à 113% du PIB, croissance atone. AOC veut nous vendre le même poison en plus grand format. La conclusion est inconfortable mais nécessaire : nous avons besoin de plus de milliardaires, pas moins. Plus d'allocateurs prouvés. Plus de capital concentré entre les mains de ceux qui ont démontré qu'ils savent le faire fructifier pour l'humanité. Et nous avons besoin de moins d'AOC. Moins de gens qui n'ont rien construit, qui n'ont rien risqué, qui n'ont rien créé, mais qui veulent décider à la place de ceux qui font. Le mythe ce n'est pas "le mythe d'avoir mérité son milliard". Le mythe c'est qu'une députée de 36 ans qui n'a jamais géré un budget supérieur à son staff parlementaire ait la moindre légitimité à théoriser sur l'allocation du capital mondial.

🚨🇸🇴🇺🇸 BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: U.S. GETTING FLEECED; MINNESOTA FRAUD LINKED TO SOMALIAN PRESIDENT’S DICTATORIAL AMBITIONS Somali President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud is connected to the fraud taking place in Minnesota and other states, and is using those funds to consolidate power in Mogadishu, per confidential sources, right as we write… And if that wasn't bad enough, that money is also impacting American interests in the Iranian conflict and around the Red Sea, where Somali pirates have been a resurgent force in recent weeks. Here's the breakdown: Somali nationals operating daycare centers, healthcare programs, and even initiatives meant to feed hungry children have been caught stealing hundreds of millions from U.S. taxpayers. Congresswoman Ilhan Omar just blew off a Minnesota committee deadline tied to the Feeding Our Future probe. She also sponsored the 2020 MEALS Act that critics say opened the door to this type of fraud in the first place. This part of the story is widely known by now, thanks to people like @nickshirleyy. But what is not widely known is where most of the stolen money actually goes. According to these sources, hundreds of millions have flowed from the U.S. Somali diaspora directly into Mogadishu through Dahabshiil, a money remittance company with notoriously thin KYC standards for American Somalis. Dahabshiil has operated under the protective umbrella of Mohamud's political network since 2013, with the President personally fending off sanctions and regulatory scrutiny on its behalf. For many in the diaspora, sending money back home is safer than spending it in the U.S., because much of it involves outright tax evasion. And the destination of those funds tells the story. Mogadishu's real estate market is in a hyper-boom phase that defies both global and African norms. Nearly 10,000 buildings and towers have gone up in the last 6 years, with luxury mixed-use developments receiving special urban planning treatment in exchange for greasing the palms of the political elite surrounding Mohamud. These nouveau riche from Minnesota and Ohio buy in, then layer on prestige by funding local NGOs and even militant groups, all of which ultimately funnel back to Mohamud and his inner circle. Now look at what is happening politically: -In March, Somalia's parliament voted to change the constitution and extend Mohamud's term by a year, delaying elections that were due this year. -Opposition leaders called it "a clear indication of a worrying trend toward authoritarianism." -Regional states including Puntland and South West State have severed ties with the federal government. -A court in Kismayo issued a warrant for Mohamud's arrest on charges of treason. This is not a functioning democracy, it is a president acting without accountability. Then there is the question of who Hassan Sheikh Mohamud actually is and where his political loyalties lie: -In 2011, he founded the Peace and Development Party, which had direct ties to Al-Islah, Somalia's branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. -He resigned from the PDP in 2016 and launched a new vehicle, the Union for Peace and Development Party, but the ideological footprint never really left. -He has appointed multiple Al-Islah affiliated figures to senior positions in his administration including the ministries of interior, justice, and social affairs. And while Mohamud consolidates power domestically and delays accountability through constitutional manipulation, he turns a blind eye to factions conducting or facilitating attacks on Red Sea shipping, attacks that are costing the global economy billions. America has poured billions into Somalia in aid, peacekeeping support, and counterterrorism assistance. That kind of leverage exists for a reason, and right now it should be used. A leader who is siphoning money from American taxpayers, with Muslim Brotherhood affiliations, documented corruption, and enables threats to global shipping does not get to rewrite the constitution to extend his own term. The line should be drawn clearly. American lawmakers cannot afford to keep treating Somalia like a problem they will deal with later. Every month Mohamud delays is another month of consolidation, another month of diaspora money flowing into Mogadishu, and another month of regional fracture. Sanctions now! The Somali people deserve better, and American taxpayers deserve answers!! @nickshirleyy @StateDept @WhiteHouse @SecRubio @SpeakerJohnson @JDVance @tedcruz

🇸🇴 Somali pirates hijacked the oil tanker Honour 25 with 17 crew members aboard 18,500 barrels of oil, 10 Pakistanis, 4 Indonesians, 1 Indian, 1 Sri Lankan, 1 from Myanmar. The Strait of Hormuz has a naval blockade. The Gulf of Aden apparently has an opening. Pirates read the room and found the unguarded door.

my parents bought a tesla model 3 and there's nothing else like it. the most astonishing capability is self-driving. their tesla can drive them from their driveway to their destination, including parking in a busy parking lot, without disengaging once. comparing Tesla's self-driving to other automakers is like comparing an iPhone 17 to one of those grey brick phones from the 80s. it's kind of embarrassing. a week before they bought the tesla, my dad told me he didn't think he'd be driving much longer since he's pretty old. the tesla just extended his independence by years. feeling grateful for all tesla has done.

🇺🇸 Spirit Airlines is gone. 17,000 jobs. 34 years. Shutdown effective immediately. In 2024, Elizabeth Warren celebrated blocking its merger with JetBlue as a win for consumers. The logic: stop the merger, protect competition, keep fares low. What actually happened: Spirit filed bankruptcy twice anyway, couldn't survive soaring fuel costs from the Iran war, and no buyer materialized. The Trump administration tried a bailout. That also failed. Warren's "win" didn't kill Spirit alone. But she handed a terminally ill airline a shovel and called it a rescue. @EricLDaugh
Mario Nawfal@MarioNawfal

🇺🇸 It's over, Spirit Airlines is dead The rescue deal failed; its final 2 flights have landed, now all we have to remember them by are the epic fights they became renowned for. I'm sure someone, somewhere, will miss them

As you go to work today and settle into the week, please study the form below. You will soon need to fill this out EVERY year and tell the government what you own and then allow them to tell you how much its worth. That is the framework that is enabled by the Trojan Horse "Billionaire Tax" that is trying to get passed. Give them credit: they cleverly use Billionaires as the hook, but build in the language and the framework that will allow the Legislature to simply extend the tax to everyone and make it yearly. And this is where the form below comes in... In this case, ask yourself, will it be you or the Billionaires that will be able to fill this out properly and avoid penalties. As much as Billionaires can be pushed to do more for society, we all know that they have the infrastructure to manage these kinds of disclosures...middle class Californians do not and they will be the ones that get penalized in the end.

If you’re not condemning these lunatics, you’re advocating for the end of the American empire. I’m not for canceling people, but the fact the @nytimes and @newyorker not only employees these individuals, but selects them to represent their brands, shows exactly how bankrupt they are.

The left has a serious violence problem, which @DavidSacks called out early and often. This generation of woke democratic socialists are morally bankrupt. They believe in looting and violence as a political tool — and they’re vocal about it. If you called out the violent members of the January 6th riots, you also have to call out the radical left. #ballsandstrikes x.com/EndWokeness/st…

So I think OpenClaw and Hermes are legit amazing, but the more I use Agents SDK plugged directly into either Claude Code/CODEX CLIs (Command Line Interface) the more I realize this is the way to go. I’ll share my set up in the next couple days - this feels like BY FAR the best way to get MAXIMUM bang for your buck if you want maximum intelligence. It also gives you crazy flexibility for tokenmaxxing.

I agree. In fact, I ended up destroying my OpenClaw after investing a significant amount of money in API development and countless hours to troubleshoot and resolve issues and bugs. Unfortunately, it kept malfunctioning. Now I have everything built into my Claude Code running 24/7 on my Mac Mini instead..
