@drgurner @sfmcguire79 1:1 Socratic tutoring has always been the pinnacle of education. Attention span issue aside, a lively conversation between AI and student seems better than being lectured at in a room of hundreds

@sfmcguire79 That's so odd, there is no teacher I know who thinks this. They are watching the attention span of kids erode from screen use.

If you could opt out of Social Security right now, abandoning everything you’ve already paid into it, would you do it?

If that addict on your street were your own son, what would you do? That is the defining question that guides my 5 step plan to fix the homelessness problem in LA. We *must* end this evil racket of corrupt politicians and NGOs who profit off the misery of these poor souls. They launder money and feed them more drugs, so they can keep their customers locked in this hell on our streets. We have a moral obligation from God to help them and make our city safe and clean for everyone. Karen Bass and Nithya Raman have forsaken this city. Time for real leadership. Time for real compassion.

@spencerpratt What’s your plan for the homeless and drug issues, Spencer? All I’ve ever seen you do is use people who suffer with both as political pawns. What is your plan?

What do Scott Wiener and homeless drug addict encampments have in common?
They should both be prohibited from being within 1,000 feet of elementary schools. Right, Nithya?

Spencer Pratt used his social media platform to spread extreme misinformation & disgusting scare tactics against our housing laws, including SB 79 (more homes near public transit) & SB 9 (duplexes & fourplexes). Pratt is a mega NIMBY & he lies, which he’s doing again here.

Excited to share our most powerful new Claude Code feature: dynamic workflows!
Mention "workflow" in a prompt and Claude will dynamically create an orchestration plan that it strictly follows, allowing you to confidently trust that every stage happens in the right order even across 100s of agents.

@mwurzer @gregrobertson @robhahn How? PDAP feeds set up individually through the MLS? Are brokers set up to send and receive data like that? If I'm a boutique broker how do I feel about a world where opting out becomes common?
English
English
Should MLSs even control listing distribution anymore?
That question sparked one of the most interesting Industry Relations conversations yet.

Because it's all or nothing, right? Brokers want to pick and choose, make alliances, and exclusively route their listing data to their team, while excluding portals they don't like. Opting out of all IDX degrades the cooperation that brokers instinctively grasp makes this all work. Opting out is also indefensible to the brokers' clients, ex: "Why aren't you marketing my house on the Internet?" It's a blunt instrument.
What brokers really want:

English
Okay, I listened. The history of IDX was good but neither of you answered the question. Greg, I'm not asking a sub-question about status (we already offer all their options to our MLS customers). Rob, you say IDX is anti-choice but that's literally my question: Why doesn't the choice brokers have to opt out (not participate) give them the control desired? It's a sincere question. Maybe @RobReffkin can answer? @robhahn I agree with all you said about the big event being the portals misusing IDX but my question is if you're a broker who disagrees, doesn't your ability to opt out end that concern?
English
@jonbrooks @DavidSacks It’s really crazy, maybe because Sacks is living in a world populated almost exclusively by high agency people, but you’re exactly correct.

@DavidSacks guys, really. this is unlikely. it's going to make A players scale their knowledge, B and C players will lose their jobs.

Back in January, on our Predictions show, my Most Contrarian Take for 2026 was that AI would create more white-collar jobs, rather than destroying them. This week Goldman Sachs’ CEO, Sam and even Dario seemed to agree. The consensus is shifting.

we're still in the "faster horses" phase. we're trying to force agents into systems designed for people-shaped workloads. real change comes when you re-architect to take advantage of the benefits (and shortcomings) of agents. this will drive real divergence in corporate outcomes

@mwurzer @robhahn @gregrobertson Can you imagine if IDX was changed to opt-in suddenly? I know it would never happen abruptly but funny to think about.

MLS geeks: Why doesn't opting out of IDX give brokers control over the marketing of their listings? cc @gregrobertson and @robhahn for reach

@DaveErnesto @mkobach That is already the case. Services, especially federal services, make negligible impact in the lives of net taxpayers. Me “wanting the services to function” creates precisely zero accountability in our corrupt ruling class.
English
@mkobach When government services just become “for the poor” or the working class, there will be no society-wide buy in. I agree with this policy at <$50K but most people should pay in so that they’ll want the services to function and work. Paying is what tethers the accountability.

Just make it so the first $100k anyone earns each year is tax free

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”
English
@TANK926 @rcbregman Terrible govt childcare. Terrible education. Terrible health care system. I’ll keep my money thanks.
English
Option A: An extra $1000 a month on your paycheck while paying $1400 a month for childcare, have tens of thousands of dollars in education debt, possibly even more in medical debt, and pay hundreds monthly for insurance.
Option B: Pay $1000 a month in taxes and have access to childcare, education, healthcare with no out of pocket costs.
Who in their right mind would choose option A?
I think the question you should be asking is do the people in countries with programs like universal healthcare prefer their country move to a similar system as the US instead. The answer to that is the majority of them do not want to transition to a system like ours despite their issues with their current systems.
And to @rcbregman's point about the strongest "welfare states", these services are available to EVERYONE. There is no qualifying for them and they are available to anyone who wishes to use them. Not everyone will want to use them and some will prefer to pay out of pocket for private/for profit services and they should be free to do so. But EVERYONE pitches in and EVERYONE has access.
English
This sounds nice, but it's a great way to undermine the welfare state.
The strongest welfare states in the world (the Nordics) tax everyone, including nurses. And they give everyone universal healthcare, childcare, pensions, education in return.
When the middle class has skin in the game, they defend the system. When welfare is 'just for the poor', it becomes a poor program: stigmatized, underfunded, easy to gut.
That's why billionaires keep pushing this idea. The real scandal isn't that this nurse pays $12k.
It's that Jeff Bezos pays $0.

@Scott_Wiener You increased spending per pupil in CA schools dramatically. What are the results?
English
That’s certainly a take. Another take is the wealthiest & corporations paying their fair share will help fund schools & raise teacher salaries.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar
Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."
English
@TANK926 @rcbregman Ask the nurse if that's the issue. Would she rather have $1000/month or a bunch of barely functional fraudulent govt services? Btw she may not qualify for any of them.
English
Exactly. The issue isn't necessarily that the nurse is being taxed, it's that they're being taxed and they themselves are not getting nearly enough in return. That $12k in taxes would be much more palatable if it meant their education was covered, childcare was provided, they were guaranteed parental leave, etc.
But to your point, it's hard to do that just based on the taxes the nurses are paying, Bezos and others need to start paying much more. It will benefit Bezos too in the sense that his workforce will be more stable and productive.
English
@rcbregman The nurse gets virtually nothing for her money. It's criminal that the middle class funds a corrupt, dysfunctional federal govt.
