don't play team sports - give credit where credit is due love the united states 🇺🇸 you mute -- i win

.@mcuban have you seen @ericschmidt booed by young graduates preaching how AI will solve all? I am not an AI doomer or accelerationist. I am an AI democratist. But AI is not a panacea for our economic divides. Our elite class is totally out of touch. Young folks see an unfair and lopsided economy where money lenders & speculators are obscenely wealthy while they can't afford a house or education. We are in a new Gilded Age. We need a home guarantee for young Americans by 35 if they work for 7 years. A jobs program for them after school. Childcare at $10 day. Medicare for All so healthcare isn't tied to your work. Free trade schools and public college. An industrial investment bank financing small and medium size manufacturers that make things we currently import. Tech institutes that prepare Americans to use AI in a small business, government agency, or factory floor. An end to data center extraction taking a community's water and jacking up their bills, sucking all the money in the hands of a few tech billionaires. A tax on agentic AI more than human workers. A tax on billionaires and, yes, trillionaires. An end to foreign wars. An end to aid to nations that commit genocide. I call it a Team America agenda.




Kind of gross for Bernie to endorse against sitting members of Congress. Bernie is not a Democrat and we should stop treating him like he is.










Two-hundred and fifty years later, Congress should embrace our heritage by passing legislation like the No Taxation Without Representation Act, introduced by @SenRandPaul. His bill and similar proposals requiring Congress to vote on tariffs are needed to fend off new threats to our freedom to trade, including the unprecedented expansion of Section 301 tariffs. thedailyeconomy.org/article/sectio…
