The Billionaire Tax is actually an Everyone Tax. The Billionaire Tax is a new tax proposal written by four professors who don't believe in the American dream. Some of them aren’t even American…go figure. Despite its name, it applies to every California resident who currently has assets or ever will. The creators named it the Billionaire Tax so you would get into a froth andwouldn't look closely at what it actually does to you. On page twenty-six, it explains how the government can convert to an Everyone Tax without voter approval. They can also adjust the tax to be a yearly tax, not just one time…again, without your approval. Here's how the tax would work: As a voter, you're being asked to approve a tax that would require you to: 1. list all your assets and the value of each, then submit them to the California Franchise Tax Board. 2. authorize the tax board to appraise your assets and confirm the value of each. 3. pay a penalty of up to forty percent of your tax bill if the board determines your reported value was too low in their opinion. 4. allow the tax board to subpoena your financial records from every one of your financial institutions for auditing. This Everyone Tax runs 34 pages of shifty language describing how the government plans to take your assets. Read the fine print and decide for yourself. If this were truly a billionaire tax, it would be 3 pages. It’s 34 pages so that it can create the mechanisms to steal from all of you.

Most Americans never leave America. We have states that act like different countries, each with its own laws and culture. America is bigger than Europe. Going from London to Paris is like going from New York City to Boston. Both ~215 miles. Europeans can’t grasp this 😂

Yes

So true 😂

@chamath The only thing AI can "one shot" is more bugs to fix.

💯 The hype cycle will soon fade, the trough of disillusionment will set in and a lot of these magical promises will be undone as will the companies that have made them. AI one-shotting is a good way to grow fast but it doesn’t magically make the negative gross margins that come with it a good business idea. The narrow path to victory for these folks is if you can grow super fast and do a well timed sale (Windsurf, Cursor).

@sundeep Fair competition is great for everyone

The pace is unreal.

Non-office workers are finally getting their own version of Slack or Teams, but with agents that learn about their entire business and automate the boring stuff

@pmarca Agreed ✅

"Marc, why do you care about SPLC's crimes & other activists/companies/gov't agencies who may have done the same/complicit?" I sat in so many meetings for a DECADE where these groups determined who got cancelled/debanked/censored. Wholly un-American. People need to go to jail.

Precisely

Draft day!

7 things every kid needs to hear: 1. I love you 2. I’m proud of you 3. I’m sorry 4. I forgive you 5. I’m listening 6. Communism has failed every time it was tried 7. You’ve got what it takes

@Jason @ZohranKMamdani @ewarren @hasanthehun It’s the Communist Manifesto playbook to a tee. They’re following it step by step, and it’s crystal clear. As the playbook advises, deny it and then accuse others of your actions to confuse and distract.

If I’m Ken Griffin I move everything to Florida, Texas and states that appreciate his massive contributions to employment and our tax base. @ZohranKMamdani @ewarren @hasanthehun and these lunatic socialists are trying to get successful people whacked. That’s the playbook: vilifying success to the point of asset seizures and executions. We are living in a very dark time.

I find myself agreeing with @Jason now 😂
