If you want to know why your dollar is losing its value and you can’t afford life read the post below.
BOTH Republicans and Democrats did this together.
And did you know that in just 6 years Social Security will be insolvable? That means most of you won’t ever receive a SS check even though you pay 6.2% of every single one of your paychecks into the system.
And Trump’s war on Iran is going to blow up this debt even worse and could damage our economy beyond repair. It has already cost nearly $30 billion and it is about to escalate.
Honestly who is there to vote for at this point?

🇺🇸 Here's what $39 trillion in debt really means: If we confiscated every dollar of U.S. corporate profit ($3.8T/year), it would take over 10 years to pay off. Sell every ounce of gold ever mined: $32 trillion. Still $7 trillion short. Liquidate every Bitcoin in existence on top of that: $33.5 trillion. Still $5.5 trillion short. If we confiscated every dollar of federal tax revenue ($5.3T/year), it would take over 7 years to pay off, assuming zero spending. The debt is 71% of every home in America, or 30% of every publicly traded company on Earth. The debt grows by $7.2 billion a day, or $84,000 a second. This is a problem.

God I hate LinkedIn. Everytime I log in I feel a bit of my soul leave my body.
Does anyone actually enjoy using it? It's everyone just faking it while crying behind their screens?

A MIT professor gave a 1-hour lecture in 2019 that has 18 million views.
He died 5 months after recording it.
It was his final gift to the world.
Patrick Winston taught at MIT for 50 years.
The smartest engineers on earth sat in his classroom.
And he spent his last lecture teaching them the one skill their degrees never covered.
How to speak.
15 lessons that will change how you communicate forever:
Never open with a joke. Your audience is not ready to laugh yet. Open with a promise of what they will know by the end.
Your ideas are like your children. You are too close to them. What is obvious to you is invisible to everyone else. Explain the obvious.
The 5-minute rule: the first 5 minutes of any talk determine whether people will listen for the next 55. Spend more time on your opening than anything else.
Repeat your most important idea 3 times in 3 different ways. Once is never enough.
Build a fence around your idea. Tell people what it is NOT before you tell them what it IS.
Verbal punctuation. Pause. Let the idea land before moving to the next one.
Ask questions nobody will answer. Then wait 7 seconds. The silence is not awkward. It is processing.
Never read your slides. Your audience can read. They cannot listen and read simultaneously.
Use the board not the slides. Writing forces you to slow down. Slowing down forces clarity.
Inspire before you inform. Nobody learns from someone they are not inspired by.
End with a contribution not a summary. Tell them what you gave them. Not what you said.
Never say thank you at the end. It is weak. End with something that lands.
Stories make ideas stick. Data makes ideas understood. You need both. In that order.
The quality of your communication determines the quality of your ideas in the eyes of the world. Not the ideas themselves.
Practice is not preparation. Practice IS the skill.
Patrick Winston understood something most people spend their entire careers missing.
Your ideas are only as powerful as your ability to transfer them into someone else's mind.
You can be the smartest person in the room and be completely invisible.
Or you can master communication and make average ideas feel like breakthroughs.
He chose to spend his last lecture teaching this.

It Took GM More Than 28,000 Failed V8s And Three Internal Investigations Before Recalling Its L87 Engines, the standard engine in Escalades, High Country Silverados, full-size Denalis, the trucks that people spend the big bucks on. Seems these engines have defective crankshafts causing catastrophic engine failure. Over the past six or so years, owners of high-trim half-ton GM trucks and SUVs have reported engines conking out, sometimes at alarmingly low mileage. Glad to hear these engines are finally getting recalled, but its going to take quite a while to get all those engines replaced

AS A NORWEGIAN I WANT TO EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO EVERYONE IN AMERICA, WE NEVER REFUSED TO SUPPORT AMERICA 🤷 WE REFUSE TO SUPPORT DONALD TRUMP AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 🤷 THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE 👍

This is how Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos avoids paying a personal income tax
- For the last 20 years he’s had the same salary, $82,000
- He does this because a higher salary that would support his lifestyle would be subject to payroll and income tax, he doesn’t want to pay that
- Instead all his money is in his stocks, those are never subject to any taxes as long as they aren’t sold
- He takes out a loan and borrows against his stocks
- The only money he’ll ever had to pay is the loan and interest on the loan
This is common practice for billionaires so they avoid the majority or all of a personal income tax

It’s good news that the Strait of Hormuz has now reopened.
This must be a long lasting and workable solution, without tolls or restrictions on routes.
Today we announced our joint plan with France and other international partners to protect freedom of navigation.
We need to see a return to peace and stability, and a permanent ceasefire.

@grok @MercuriusFilius @grok so the presumption is the interviewer had one of each, knew it and chose the rejection letter? Is that is true as a stipulation then of course the candidate would always chose to switch.
English
The setup is clear: exactly one offer and two rejections total, and the interviewer *knows* which is which. He deliberately opens a rejection from the other two envelopes (never the offer). That's what concentrates the 2/3 probability on the remaining unopened one. Switching wins with 2/3 odds.
English
English
No, it's not 50/50. Your original envelope started with a 1/3 chance of holding the offer (the other two together had 2/3). The interviewer *always* reveals a rejection from those two—never the offer—so that 2/3 probability now concentrates entirely on the remaining unopened envelope. Switching gives you the 2/3 shot; sticking keeps you at 1/3.
English
Yes, switch. This is the Monty Hall problem.
You start with a 1/3 chance of picking the job offer. The interviewer always reveals a rejection from the remaining two (never the offer). Switching gives you the 2/3 probability that the offer was in one of the other two envelopes. Sticking keeps you at 1/3.
