@AbigailShrier As a conservative white man, I am accustomed to being the most hated group but liberal white women are now the leader. Most hated! Hope you ladies are tough enough to handle the title!

@ElonMuskAOC Yes! Thanks to you and Joe Rogan!

If you voted for Trump let me know! I want to follow you! 🇺🇸🔥🇺🇸🔥

@HoustonChron Another failing media trying to hold on with the drama.

@Alamo_Letter Congrats to all!

@elonmusk As a self published author it’s tough. Four publishers control the winners in books and it’s the rules we must adhere. My first novel, An Honorable Place, is beloved by the few hundred that have found it but without the machine promoting you, you become invisible.

@RobertMSterling Excellent explanation of economics. Sad this is not taught except in some college level clsssrooms.

People need to stop overreacting about Kamala’s plan to reduce food inflation, as if it would lead to communism, mass starvation, and the end of America. I worked in M&A in the food industry. Here’s a step-by-step summary of what would actually happen: 1. The government announces that grocery retailers aren’t allowed to raise prices. 2. Grocery stores, which operate on 1-2% net margins, can’t survive if their suppliers raise prices. So the government announces that food producers (Kraft Heinz, ConAgra, Tyson, Hormel, et. al.) also aren’t allowed to raise prices. 3. Not all grocery stores are created equal. Stores in lower-income areas make less money than those in higher-income areas, as the former disproportionately sell lower-margin prepackaged foods (“center of the store”) instead of higher-margin fresh products like meat (“perimeter of the store”). Because stores in lower-income areas aren’t able to cover overhead (remember, even if their wholesale costs are fixed, their labor, utilities, insurance, and other operating expenses aren’t fixed… yet), grocery chains start to shut them down. Food deserts in rural areas and in low-income urban areas alike become worse. 4. Meanwhile, margins for food producers are also quickly eroding. Their primary costs (ingredients, energy, and labor) aren’t fixed, and their shrinking gross profits leave less cash flow available to cover overhead, maintain facilities, and reinvest in additional production capacity. 5. Grocery chains, which have finite shelf space, start to repurpose their stores (those they didn’t have to shut down, I should say) to sell more non-price-controlled items—everything from nutrition supplements to kitchenware to apparel—and less price-controlled food products. Your local Kroger or Safeway starts to look and feel more like a Walmart. 6. Food producers stop making products with lower margins. Grocery chain start competing with each other to secure inventory. Since they can’t compete by offering stronger prices (remember, producers aren’t allowed to raise prices here, and, even if they could, grocery chains no longer have the gross profit to bear price increases), they compete on things like payment terms. 7. Small grocery chains start to shut down entirely, or get sold to larger chains like Kroger. In addition to not being able to cover fixed costs, a major reason for this is because they can no longer reliably secure delivery of products, due to producers prioritizing sales to larger customers, which are able to leverage their stronger balance sheets to offer superior payment terms. 8. Smaller food producers—which typically sell via distributors, rather than directly to grocery chains—start to go out of business. Because these producers have an additional step their value chains, and because they have lower volumes over which to spread their fixed costs, their cost structure is inherently disadvantaged compared to major food producers. When grocery stores aren’t able to raise prices, cutting product costs becomes all the more important, and deprioritizing purchases from smaller producers is an easy way to do so. 9. As supply chains break down, lines start to form outside grocery stores every morning. Cities assign police officers to patrol store parking lots, and food producers draft contingency plans to assign armed escorts to delivery trucks. 10. The federal government announces a program to issue block grants for states to purchase and operate shuttered grocery stores. The USDA also seizes closed-down production facilities. 11. The government announces that prices for all key food costs—corn, wheat, cattle, energy, etc.—are also now fixed, to stop “profiteers” from gouging the now-government-operated food industry. 12. Shockingly, the government struggles to operate one of the most complex industries on the planet. The entire food supply chain starts imploding. 13. Communism, mass starvation, and the end of America quickly ensue. Hey wait a second

@realpungao Goes to the “expert” problem of “sounding good”. I look at 1970 as the baseline of America. We have turned obese and diabetic steadily since. The real why is the big question! Thank you for digging for the truth! Excellent job

The multivitamin industry is valued at over $40 Billion/year The largest multivitamin study ever, spanning 3 decades, was just published I explored the data to determine how multivitamins affect the body & if anything works better My findings flipped my view of the industry🧵

@Alamo_Letter Onward!

On June 28th, 2024 in Pecos, the Reeves County Courthouse dedicated its 203 pound historic plaque that is identical to the one at the Alamo. Idea originator Slone McNutt spoke at the dedication. This marks dedication 6 of all 254 Texas Courthouses. #Alamo #AlamoLetterSociety

@nntaleb When I see the words “squid ink” I know who posted!

@wiseconnector 66 years for me

Anyone?

@wiseconnector I graduated high school in 1975. I wore the most hideous suit imaginable to school dance. I thought I looked cool. A tattoo is like wearing that suit every day for the rest of my life. No thanks

Anyone other than me?

@mindfulmaven_ Seventh but my great grandfather set the path for his decendents. We started with a sound base of values and each ascended in our own ways.

@Alamo_Letter Thank you @laralogan for this!

The Alamo Letter Society is honored to announce Lara Logan to speak at the dedication of the Alamo Letter Society in Fredericksburg, Texas on July 4th, 2024. Lara Logan is an award winning South African television & radio journalist and war correspondent. #AlamoLetter

@stats_feed An Honorable Place. Read it 22 times. But I had too since I wrote the book.

What book is so good, you've read it more than 3 times?

@CTOTHELOS77 Fried chicken

What's your answer?
