why not just pause the TSA for a little bit, let airlines handle security as they did for the eighty years preceding 9/11, and see how it goes?

TSA wait times are absolutely wild right now. So I built a free tracker that shows live waits by checkpoint, including Precheck, Clear, and more (where available). Most tools, including the TSA’s own app, only show airport-wide estimates. Here ya go: tsa.fromthetraytable.com

Dime Square is so scary at night. Not like safety wise: I’m just a millennial and not super confident about these shoes so I’m scared the Gen Z’s are gonna rip me a new one.

As a lifelong, taxpaying New Yorker, I am extremely worried about the ramifications of the estate tax proposal on New Yorkers if it gets signed into law. I want to be clear up front; this isn't about politics for me. I'm not fighting for the billionaire class, and I'm certainly not one of them. What I am is someone who understands basic math, economics, and business, who has watched what happens when states push tax policy past the breaking point. Here's what's on the table right now: a proposal to reduce New York’s estate tax exemption from $7.1 million down to $750,000, an 89% cut while increasing the top rate from 16% all the way to 50%. This is embedded within a batch of revenue ideas sent up to Albany to try and plug a $5.4 billion hole in the city budget. I want to discuss who this estate tax actually hits, because it’s certainly not the ultra-rich. The ultra-rich weren’t exempt as only the first $7.1 million avoided estate taxes. A $750,000 threshold in the New York metro area is not reasonable. The median home price in New York City hit roughly $809,000. In Nassau County you're looking at $820,000. Suffolk County sits around $675,000. Westchester is $754,000. If you bought a house in the city, Nassau, or Westchester and you spent 30 years paying off that mortgage like a responsible adult, congratulations, you're now above the estate tax threshold. What’s even better is that you hit the threshold before even factoring in your 401k, life insurance, savings, a family business, or other investments. This isn't a tax on the wealthy it’s a tax on a retired couple in Bayside who paid off their split-level. It's a tax on the family that runs a deli in Astoria and owns the building. When you force those families to come up with 50% of the value above $750,000 after someone dies, what do you think happens? They sell. They liquidate. The house goes, the business goes, and the generational wealth that took a lifetime to build disappears in a single tax event. Family businesses which are the backbone of employment in neighborhoods all over this city get gutted. According to the State Department of Taxation and Finance's own numbers New York's tax structure is incredibly top heavy as millionaires paid 44.6% of all personal income tax collected in 2024. The top 200,000 filers covered 51.9%. The bottom half of all earners paid 0.2%. Think about how fragile that makes us. You don't need a mass exodus. You need a few thousand people to change their mailing address to Palm Beach or Austin and the budget math falls apart. Here's the part that really gets me though. The biggest victims of "tax the rich" policies aren't the rich. The rich utilize their resources and leave once they have had enough because their resources make them mobile. The people who get crushed are the ones who stay such as teachers, firefighters, nurses, and the small business owner. They can’t simply pick up and go. The harsh reality is that when the wealthy leave and the tax base shrinks, the city still needs the same amount of money to run the subways, pay the cops and keep the lights on. So where does it come from? It comes from everyone left behind as they are forced to pay higher taxes, and higher fees. What may bother me more is the double taxation piece. The money in someone's estate didn't just appear from thin air. They earned it and paid income tax. They invested it and paid capital gains. They bought property with it and paid property taxes every single year. They bought things and paid sales tax. Every dollar in that estate has already been taxed multiple times over the course of a lifetime. Now when they die the state wants to take half of everything above $750,000? At what point does it stop being a tax and start being confiscation? That's a genuine question I have because if you work your whole life, play by every rule, pay every tax along the way, and the government still takes half when you die what exactly was the point of saving any of it? A $750,000 threshold doesn't catch billionaires it catches the middle class. It catches people who were never wealthy, they were just disciplined. They bought a house, they didn't sell it, they put money away for retirement, and they wanted to leave something for their kids. Punishing that with a 50% tax rate sends a very specific message: the state believes your assets belong to it first and your family second. I don't care where you fall politically that should bother you. I'll say this very simply. When you tax people to the point where they feel targeted, they leave. When they leave the burden falls on everyone who can't. When that burden gets heavy enough, more people figure out a way to go. That's not theory, that's exactly what IRS data and Census numbers have been showing us for half a decade straight. New York is standing at a fork in the road right now. One direction is more punitive taxation with an increasing dependence on a shrinking pool of high earners who increasingly have one foot out the door. The other direction is putting forward competitive tax policy, fiscal discipline, and creating an environment where building wealth and creating jobs isn't treated like something the government needs to punish. I know which path leads somewhere good. I just hope the people making the decisions figure it out before there's nobody left to tax. @amitisinvesting @BillAckman @chamath @patrickbetdavid @PBDsPodcast

There is now ~100 TB of imagery as fine as 4cm of Quebec making its way to S3. One of these images is to the left and for comparison, Google Map's image of the same location to the right.

Totally agree but the problem is all of these natural fiber brands have terrible design, minimal options, are prone to shrinking and fading, and difficult purchasing options. Until somebody is able to mass market, these natural fiber activewear pieces unfortunately I think people are still going to stick with what already exists. Not to mention, it’s extremely difficult to get people to throw away their existing activewear since it lasts so long because nothing is technically wrong with it (other than it poisoning you lol)

you guys realize that polyester clothing is literally recycled plastic garbage or crude oil, refined into chemical sludge, melted down into fibers, dyed with endocrine disrupting chemicals, and then wrapped around your skin all day so you can workout in a plastic bag for $200

Anyone else out there find their Apple HomePods completely useless? I’m talking basically nonfunctional. Mine stopped being able to do simple things like pausing a song, playing any random artist that I pick, and heaven forbid I ask it to send a text message. The only thing that mine is really good for is controlling my HomeKit devices. Anyone else?

Florida… wtf are you doing? 🚨 Florida AG James Uthmeier says — The time for negotiations is over. We’re enforcing Age Restrictions for the “safety of your kids” (Just like the UK) He says Tech companies now have 30 days from today to implement age restrictions on social media access for kids under 14. Within 60 days, parental consent must be in place for 14- to 16-year-olds. 🔻 My Thoughts: I’m sorry… but this is bullshit. To implement this, there's no real way to find out if a user is underage without asking people to upload identification. This stinks like a backdoor to digital ID. Something Ron Desantis was repeated against.. what happened? The fact is PARENTS… not the GOVERNMENT, are responsible for their children. And if PARENTS want to - every single platform online, as well as the internet providers itself has Parental Controls which have existed for all operating systems. But it’s too late…Florida's HB 3 has already passed and its law. Desantis signed it into law. I’m getting real tired of the hypocrisy… rumble.com/v76xqnc-florid…
