Today I ran an experiment that exposed to what I believe to be one of the biggest threats to America right now I attempted got an Aluminum 6061-T651 quote from a Chinese mill and from an American mill. The Chinese mill gave me a price over the phone and even followed up twice during the day. The American mill had no one to answer. I tried two others same thing. Finally got a hold of the fourth which sent me to their distributor. So I call the distributor and it was 4.75x the price of the Chinese metal on the exact same lead time. This is the reality: America is being priced out of its own industrial future while China is making it effortless to buy. This is why 50% of our customers don't care anymore where the raw materials come from, because they have given up on domestic. If we want to support reindustrialization and domestic manufacturing, we need a stronger mill supply chain. Otherwise the factories of tomorrow won’t be American, they’ll be Chinese.

After generating $250K (last 2 months) I built a playbook for @lovable apps—and I’m giving it away. In just two months, we cracked the code to building apps with AI. I’ve distilled everything we learned into this single document. Comment "Build" and drop a follow. I’ll DM it to you. P.S. This will likely blow up, so give me some time to reply.

Increasingly convinced that daily meditation, followed by writing, is the best way to quickly improve quality of thought. If you don’t already, try it!

Waking up to your flight being cancelled then racing (presumably against all other passengers) to reserve a new seat has to be a top 5 adrenaline rush

Fintech twitter question: If you had to design a curriculum around US Fintech for someone new to the space, what would be the subject of some of the courses? What would be some required readings?
