Building LeadAtlas and other weird things so I don't have to work harder.





I hate high taxes, but why anyone would die on the hill defending the U.S. healthcare system is beyond my understanding. You can't find a system anywhere on Earth that delivers worse value for money. Incredibly expensive. Mediocre outcome.






It always makes me laugh when naive US leftists talk about "free healthcare" in Denmark. You pay a 60% top income tax rate and then 25% VAT when you want to buy anything. You can barely afford anything and then wait four months for a specialist appointment. Nothing is free.



Over the past 34 years, healthcare has replaced manufacturing as the top employer in the vast majority of states.




These are the 10 worst states to live in for 2026, according to CNBC. 1. Tennessee 2. Texas 3. Indiana 4. Louisiana 5. Georgia 6. Utah 7. Missouri 8. Alabama 9. Oklahoma 10.Arkansas

The in person economy is crashing


What happened at @startupfest yesterday was antisemitism. Pure & simple. Disguised under a thin veil of advocacy, and everyone in the room saw right through it. I was on stage with Georges St-Pierre talking about entrepreneurship. Not politics. A man burst in screaming horrible accusations at me anyway. Third time in 2 years, including at the opening of a Jewish community centre. My parents were in the front row. I'll never forget their faces. When the target is always the Jew and never the topic, it's not advocacy. It's hate. The room booed him down and cheered as he was walked out. I'm grateful for that. Hate got escorted out. We got right back to building.


SIRENS SHOULD BE BLASTING ACROSS AMERICA: 44% MUSLIMS SUPPORT HAMAS A new Pew poll found that 44% of Muslim Americans view Hamas favorably, while 50% view the Palestinian Authority favorably. Just 12% view the Israeli government favorably. This is not only an Israel problem. Israel knows how to confront jihadist movements operating on its borders. But when substantial support for Hamas exists inside the United States, it becomes an American domestic-security problem—one that must be confronted immediately, honestly and without political cowardice. @selenaryan_
