@Stockspy1 They weren’t even close

and I lived through the Clintons LOL so .. that's saying a lot

Trump administration is the most corrupt I've seen in my 56 year life. Period.

@GovMikeHuckabee @LindseyGrahamSC Ew

Still processing death of @LindseyGrahamSC & reflecting on his life of service, his great sense of humor, and his love of Israel & the Jewish people. He was here in Israel often. He understood the importance of the US/Israel partnership. He will be sorely missed.

@spikebrehm @RADHardTech @jgebbia You’re a pussy boy. Gtfo here with your DOGE BS

they did it. the mad lads actually did it. i never talked about my time at DOGE last year because it was so controversial and contentious (remember that?) early last year, @jgebbia recruited a handful of his most trusted early Airbnb engineers to embed at the Office of Personnel Management to solve the "retirement paper" problem. processing a federal retirement took months, and in the extreme retirees could wait up to 6 months for their full pension to arrive. what was the holdup? paper. remember hearing Elon talk about "the mine" in Pennsylvania? we got to visit it. in deep underground caverns blasted out of limestone, there were literally acres of file cabinets, as far as the eye could see, storing files detailing federal employees' employment and paystub history. a simple "case" might be only a quarter or half inch thick, but really complex cases filled up whole filing cabinets. one famously took up a whole pallet. each case was hand processed by case workers in cubicles deep underground. they checked calculations, made sure forms were filled out properly (many weren't), and handled a long tail of complex issues. we'd watch as they keyed data into a black and white terminal, transmitting to the COBOL mainframe built many decades ago. since cases were processed by hand, there were multiple rounds of human review, and additional rounds for complex cases. case files were walked around between one worker's outbox and another's inbox. sometimes it would sit in one place for days, waiting to be picked up. to OPM's credit, they'd done multiple rounds of "digital transformation" spanning decades, so some systems were newer than others. there was a big effort in the mid-90s. but the systems were disparate, and it was a total maze getting them to talk to each other. there was a big effort to build a web app where employees applying for retirement could digitally fill out the necessary forms — just to be mailed to the mine and stuffed into the paper file. and few federal agencies were even using it. when we arrived, OPM was midway through a fresh attempt at digital transformation, delivered by a software contractor. the blackpill was seeing the terrible quality of the software and interacting with the contractors. coming from silicon valley, i couldn't believe how low the talent and quality bar was for selling software to the government. it's clear, as the OG USDS people explained to me a decade ago, the primary skill these vendors have is securing government contracts. it's a huge moat. delivery of quality product be damned. we fired the vendor and took over the project. they'd been working on it for more than a year, and there was another year before they were going to deliver it. at first we tried to bend it to our will, to actually connect all the various data sources and get to a decent UX for case workers in the mine to use, but we soon realized we were going to have to rebuild the whole stack from scratch. it was around this time I had to go back to new york — i had a new job waiting for me, a four month old, and a wife whose patience was running out. but i got to watch from afar as the team cranked day and night, hitting early milestones. and now they've fully done it. huge congrats to Joe and the team. @yatshitcray was the hero in the trenches. indefatigable, unrelentingly optimistic, and determined to see this project through. when i recruited him for "ok i can do two, maybe three months", he stuck it out over a year making this project a reality. while the retirement project was under the DOGE banner, it operated different from what you heard from the breathless, negative media — we came in with the attitude of partnering with career OPM employees. we were team members determined to bring our software talents to bear on the problem they've been trying to fix for years, which they hadn't had the resources to solve before. they were wary at first, not sure about us, but they quickly saw how authentic and determined we were to work together toward the same goal. props to Joe for developing those relationships, setting the example of how to collaborate together. what's the end result? lifelong federal employees, veterans, postal carriers get their full pension installments almost immediately. days instead of months. peace of mind for these people to devoted their careers to serving our country. massively streamlined operations inside of OPM. and NO MORE PAPER 🫡🇺🇸

@KS_CU_Buffs_Fan Colors get the best of you? Lol

I love my country and support my National Team but I do not support the United States National Team shoving an Agenda down me and my family's throat! Get rid of the Pride Flag numbers now! #USMNT

@ogwanghaf You’re a trash bag

Saar let’s go to Costco and get gas saar let’s bring all our little bioweapons saar Costco is like fucking Disneyland for these fucks it’s so fucking annoying

@DVSignals Bruh

Seems we went short $TLT last week just at the right time.. Rates up. TLT down. Timing matters. #DVSTrading

@MeghanMcCain Fuck you

I hope Israel sues the New York Times and Nicholas Kristof to absolute hell. To HELL.

@netanyahu Fuck you

Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof. They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers. Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent. We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law. Truth will prevail.

@sigmahamster2 @wholemars It’s called inflation. You’re so stupid it hurts

Quite the opposite. Capitalism has reduced poverty so extensively that the World Bank regularly has to push the poverty line up.

@peter_adderton You’re so lame dude

The FCC approved this deal for one reason, and one reason only to avoid a messy bankruptcy and a years-long legal fight over spectrum and buildout obligations. That has to be comforting for AST SpaceMobile shareholders… they may be watching this thinking they could be next.😀

@mhp_guy This is so dumb. Congrats bud

I just put in an offer on a beautiful Texas ranch that’s 40 mins from home. I want my boys to drive a tractor on the weekends and chop down trees. I want them to get blisters, hunt deer in the fall and drive the cattle to the processor. That’s my dream. Fingers crossed.

@the_P_God You’re a 🗑️ can bud

Dallas asks the question what if we took suburban sprawl to the max and filled it with the worst people

@Kushagrat15 @StockMKTNewz @fiscal_ai Yeah it can

@StockMKTNewz @fiscal_ai $25B to $44B in one year lol. they're burning more on data centers per quarter than most countries spend on their entire tech budget annually. the real question is when does this capex actually show up in products people use daily because alexa still can't set two timers properly

Amazon $AMZN spent $44.2 Billion on CAPEX last quarter investing in AI and its business up from the $25B it spent in the same quarter last year

@elonmusk 🗑️ can boy Elon musk

Exactly

@MrsSmith830 @Huff4Congress Sounds like you suck ccck

@Huff4Congress Frisco sucks. My daughter is a minority in her apartment complex. It’s been taken over by the Indians.

Because Texans didn’t move to the outer growing suburbs to live in India. Y’all don’t understand if you haven’t seen it. It’s Hyderabad.

@TheTexasDarlin @Huff4Congress @AppyOrtho Please leave

@Huff4Congress @AppyOrtho We live in Celina and it is insane. I don’t feel like I even live in the United States anymore. We are leaving soon!!!

@GreenGiantJack @Huff4Congress Stupidest thing I’ve read yet lol

I know a guy who lives in Lewisville. He bought a used second fridge, and it works great. It doesn't smell and keeps things very cold. He can't keep milk in it though. It goes bad in a day. Nothing else, just milk. The previous owner kept something in it that contaminates milk. Long story short; Texans are sick of South Asians. They want their high trust culturally Texan society back.

@taobanker Check it out. I think you’re agreed off you’re onto something

@StockTradeAnlys sounds interesting

compute / API credits are the commodity that will back stablecoins staring us directly in the face, no? would you rather have a currency backed by beanie baby tokens (bitcoin) or a currency that makes use of cutting edge technology to do actual work?

@wholemars You’re a garbage can lmao

I don’t get it. Why doesn’t Tesla just recklessly deploy thousands of Robotaxis before validating the first few in Austin? Too much focus on being “safe” and “responsible”, and not enough on making the stock price go up
