69% of Gen Z sees business ownership as a core part of the American Dream, per Wells Fargo.

Analysts/podcasters/influencers and so forth that cater to their audience don't actually respect their audience. They respect the algorithm, the money. Feeding the ducks. Those who are willing to *challenge* their audience actually respect their audience. It's a discussion.

Everywhere I go in South Carolina, people are saying the same thing: Traffic is worse, roads are failing, and growth is outpacing infrastructure. And they’re right. Our state is growing fast, and yet our roads look like we never saw it coming. For years, you’ve been told this is a funding problem and that we need to raise the gas tax, increase fees, and send more money to Columbia. Well, taxes have been raised. We’ve poured billions into SCDOT. And yet, we still have some of the worst roads in America. Now we are at it again. A 23 member legislative commission studied the issue and have proposals for more money to be spent. That is how the ruling class rolls. Throw money at it and if it does not work , throw more. Especially when the money is an addictive OPM( other people’s money)! So if it’s not just about more money, what is the problem? It’s a lack of leadership and accountability for one. However, there are bigger issues like a broken management structure where 41k miles or two thirds of the roads in the state are managed out of Columbia similar to the centralized Russian system of management. Almost all maintenance is done in house, also a relic of ancient management. A quick review of contracts will show that whoever is negotiating contracts does not understand risk management and have their hands tied further by crazy DEI mandates. And this is just the beginning of the dysfunction. Add to this the lack of focus on accountability and results and you have organized chaos. When projects fail, who do you fire? When costs explode, who answers? When growth overwhelms our roads, who’s responsible? Right now, the answer is no one. Instead of a clear chain of command, we have layers of commissions, boards, and bureaucracy. Power is scattered. Decisions are delayed. Regulations pile up. And projects that should take years take decades. In the private sector, this would never fly. Governing is not cute messaging. Governing is execution.. You execute. You deliver. You don’t hide behind committees and ask for more money while results get worse. We don’t need more studies. We don’t need more excuses. And we don’t need more of the same people doing the same things. The PRC (Political Ruling Class) has been in office for decades talking about this and promising to fix it, so why haven’t they done anything? It’s time for something different.

Charlotte-Mecklenburg schools increased total spending by 44% over the past 8 years, while the number of students fell by 4%. Per pupil spending increased by 50%. #ncpol #nced

This is wild behavior if true

This is what corruption looks like - When Dick Cheney was Secretary of Defense he initiated the concept of concept of privatizing military support services - Haliburton got the contract to develop the model - Dick Cheney served as Haliburton's CEO from 1995 to 2000 - He then became Vice President under Bush - Haliburton was paid $39.5 billion in federal contracts related to the Iraq war alone and received more than $30 billion just for logistics work That’s how you essentially steal over $70 billion dollars. Thats corruption

Trump to use USNavy for global piracy while causing a global energy crisis and economic collapse.

@elonmusk why would we be blocking this kind of content? Don’t you yourself believe in technology deflation? With that being true wouldn’t this theory be more probable than the official narrative and need to inflate currency on befalf of banks and asset holders?

ITS ABOUT PRESERVING THE PETRODOLLAR

The USD is debasing against Oil now after debasing against Gold last year. The consequence of this war will be (in part) making room on the stage for the Yuan.

Dollar supply growing at 7%+ per year with decreasing demand + vast counterparty risk Gold supply growing at 1.5% per year with increasing demand; zero counter party risk. Silver supply shrinking by approx 6% per year with wildly increasing demand; zero counter party risk. Our minds are as malleable as our store of value

can't go after leslie wexner but plenty of time to arrest a whistleblower source for @sethharpesq 's book.

🚨 do you understand what $25 billion in Mississippi actually means.. the poorest state in America.. $44,966 median income.. 28% of children in poverty.. and Amazon just chose it for data centers.. $25 billion for 2,000 jobs.. that's $12.5 million per job.. they didn't pick Mississippi to help Mississippi.. they picked it for the cheapest land.. cheapest power.. and the most desperate politicians willing to sign whatever Amazon put in front of them.. cotton plantations came for the cheap labor.. factories moved south for the no unions.. now data centers are coming for the cheap electricity and the tax breaks.. the product changes every generation.. the extraction doesn't

@unusual_whales Why are we allowing anyone to attack Beruit?

VP Vance: If Iran wants let this negotiation fall apart over Lebanon, which has nothing to do with them, that's their choice… We think that would be dumb, but it's their choice.

@carmenL_v2 This is over reach. Just another reason to do Mass surveillance. I don’t understand the obsession. Where is the data that this saves lives?

BREAKING: North Carolina said hiding ain’t an option anymore. State troopers done took it to the sky. You thought you were just cruising down I-95… music up, windows down, minding your business… Nah.

From Charlotte to Raleigh… from Greensboro to Wilmington… It don’t matter where you at they got eyes everywhere. You might not see them… but trust me… they see YOU. 👀 Welcome to North Carolina where even the sky keeping track of your speed. #NorthCarolina #NCVibes #DriveSafe #StateTrooper #I95 #I40 #Raleigh #Charlotte

Petro-Bitcoin era begins… 🤑

If all planned data centers in North Carolina are built, developers would receive an estimated $450 million in sales tax exemptions each and every year. And with the state’s impending fiscal cliff and the federal government retreating on longstanding commitments, state revenue is especially precious. We should spend taxpayer dollars only when it adds value to our people. And do we really want to subsidize energy consumption by data centers when they are making everyone else’s power bills go up? It doesn’t make much sense to me.
