@IvonneRovira @AndySwan @AndyBeshearKY The answer to the question is American consumers, businesses will merely pass the tax increases through to their customers.

@AndySwan @AndyBeshearKY No, those who benefit the most society shouldn't pay the least toward its upkeep. Andy's right on both.

When President Trump brags that tariffs have brought in billions of dollars, the real truth is Americans and American businesses have paid our government billions of our hard-earned dollars. It's time we got that refund.

Been saying it for years. All entrepreneurs are delusional. Some more so than others. Its the ones whose delusion is rational that succeed.

In 2015, I marched for Bernie and donated to his campaign. In 2019, after years of being a miserable democratic socialist who blamed everyone else for my sadness, I decided that I couldn’t stand being a miserable fuck anymore, and needed to start taking risks and aggressively started doing stuff to change my life. I started working multiple jobs. I had 3 I was juggling at one point. I funded my life with one of them, and with the additional jobs, I invested all of my dollars in Palantir. It was honestly fun. Yeah, I worked 70 hours a week usually and sometimes would go 60 days without a day off, but it was exhilarating. I was making changes and doing things. It was way better than being miserable and angry and making my entire identity about politics and my disdain for “the rich.” Those were hopeless times and I was glad to be doing something for myself. I was able to grow a portfolio of 4,000 Palantir shares at an 8 dollar cost basis between 2021-2023. 32,000 dollars from hardcore grinding. Between 2023-2025, that 32 grand grew to over 400 grand. In May 2024 I started rotating some of the profits into TSLA, along with purchasing with new income. I’ve learned so much about capitalism since 2019, how wealth is created, and the difference between makers and takers. I’ve been inspired by so many amazing builders and entrepreneurs on this platform. I’ve even interacted with many of them. Totally surreal. Today, I cheered in my car as it drove me home when I heard that Elon’s pay package was approved. I voted my 750 shares on it with a huge grin on my face. If Elon gets paid 1 trillion dollars, I will be a multimillionaire. After all I’ve been through and after everything I’ve done for myself over the last 10 years, I look at this post by Bernie and know I would’ve cheered it on in 2015, but today, I see it for what it actually is. Manipulative, depressing rhetoric intended to depress a base of voters and make them feel hopelessly dependent on him and his colleagues. None of them build anything or create value or give working class people like me the opportunity to peg my labor against their genius. They did nothing but make me miserable. I hope even one person can read this get pumped to start doing shit. There are ups and downs, but it’s yours. Nobody can take your grind away from you. Kick ass and build over years of time and watch what happens along the way. Don’t listen to sad miserable people like Bernie.

There are some covers that can sometimes even surpass the original. Disturbed’s version of the Sound of Silence and Pearl Jam’s version of Last Kiss deserve a listen. Post some other covers that might make the grade. Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence (Official Music Video) [4K UPGRADE] youtu.be/u9Dg-g7t2l4?si… via @YouTube

@SeeBQ Pretty much.

Is forward deployed engineers (FDE) just the new fancy term for professional services with your software?

Na @NPR is not biased at all. Reporter just laughingly called Trump a “Mo Ron.”

WSJ hating on Atlanta. When I recently counted cranes in the Downtown and Midtown areas I believe the number was eight. Still seems like a boom town to me. wsj.com/economy/atlant…

My late wife Rhonda with an MIT engineering degree used to say, “what they’re doing in DC isn’t 3D chess, they’re chewing on the checkers and arguing which tastes better, red or black.”

@lancetuah Please don’t.

The thanks we owe to the men who stormed the Normandy beaches and the leaders who made the extraordinarily difficult decision to send them is to ensure the civilization they saved remains the beacon of light and truth and is not worn away by neglect and contempt.

The internet is now everywhere, just like electricity. In 10 years AI will be the same.

Focusing on users will get you investors, but focusing on investors won't get you users.
