Why is raising capital so hard? Because investors dont believe you'll pay them back. Vision Master $100 Tip: For most small businesses, selling stock does not work. The answer is RBF - Revenue Based Financing.

What will really happen, because it's already happening, is: 1) population will decline naturally to a much lower level than now, because children are not necessary to take care of the farm or aging partents, and 2) the remaining population of adults will all own businesses (or help the vision-master owners as "co-pilots" aka execution-masters). Even with AI, society still needs (or will require) that people own businesses. Businesses of every kind will proliferate, businesses providing a wide array of human services that only a few can afford today. AI and robotics make running a business easier and cheaper, but will never eliminate the need for a business owner - the vision master. People will either start their own businesses or buy franchises - already a very common outlet for unemployed white collar workers. The entrepreneurial age is upon us. So long as the government does not provide a dole (UBI) that discourages people from getting off their couches indulging in addictions, the entrepreneurial age will allow everyone to contribute to society, to have a sense of real purpose, and to earn a living.

So hilarious that anybody with an IQ over 100 believes the promise of a "UBI" or a "Universal High Income" when AI and robots take most human jobs. Do you seriously think the government that no longer needs you is going to hand you money just to keep you around, when you pay no income tax, produce nothing for them, and only COST the government more debt and currency destabilization? They might roll one out in the short-term to keep you deceived, but they can't fund it long-term. The real plan is obvious: Mass extermination. And they're already begun the global energy infrastructure destruction that will accelerate mass famine and death. This is all by design. The government plan for you is not UBI, but rather DOA.

The pillar of progressive politics is corruption, the very essence of it, veiled by the cover called "social justice." Progressives, you're either useful idiots or in the game. Either way, we see you. You're naked now.
FBI Director Kash Patel@FBIDirectorKash

Come again? This FBI and DOJ with our DHS partners drafted and executed every search warrant today. But go ahead and take credit for our work while we smoke out the fraud plaguing Minnesota under your governorship.

Yes, actually, Bill, the government IS that incompetent and corrupt. Social justice is just a cover story for pervasive incompetence and corruption. And so we can't fix government social programs by allocating MORE money. That's just throwing good money after bad. When it comes to social programs, as Reagan said, government is the problem, not the solution. And don't for a moment imagine that progressive politicians don't understand this. Oh they know exactly what they're doing and think they're getting away with it. Please please please, take your blinders off and accept this awful reality.
The Vigilant Fox 🦊@VigilantFox

Bill Maher asks how the government is “failing the poor so badly” when he pays “60 PERCENT” of his earnings in taxes. “Last week was tax day… I paid the government probably almost 60% of what I earn. That’s a lot.” “And I… wouldn’t mind if Bernie Sanders would stop saying the rich don’t pay taxes.” “The top 10% pay 72% of all federal income taxes. And the bottom half, 3%.” “The Democratic Socialists talk about socialism like we don’t already have a lot: Social Security, unemployment, Medicare, nutritional assistance, Medicaid, Obamacare, disability, housing subsidies.” “How can you be soaking the rich and failing the poor so badly? How can it be that the federal government alone took in over 5 trillion in taxes last year, and we still need that?” “Are we really this incompetent and corrupt?”

You're wrong that the only solution is government dole, except perhaps a short term extension of unemployment insurance. The problem with the dole is it destroys personal incentive and encourages dependency and yes addiction of all kind. The future, if left to evolve naturally, in an entrepreneurial economy where most people own or help manage a business, a process made easier by AI. Most such businesses are human service businesses - think childcare, elder care, home repair, etc. Even when someday robots can do most of the labor, it still takes a human to envision and own each business.
Nic0le@nicole_clash

“Why would we let AI take our jobs and rely on the government?” What people don’t realize is, AI is GOING to take your jobs, most of them. It’s already starting. And unless the government is willing to SHOOT every single person that uses AI (unrealistic), most traditional jobs will be more efficiently done by an AI or an automation. It is incredibly naive to think that “bombing the data centers” will stop the progression. You can shut down all the major AI labs today and it would barely make a difference. I can go on and on about why yes, the AI and the robots are in fact coming for your jobs. If you knew what I knew, you would believe me. For the purpose of this argument, let’s just assume that I am right, that AI is going to take the majority of jobs. When people lose their jobs, most people are gonna be royally fucked. They have rent to pay, kids to take care of. Food, water, etc. We need the government to step in. The alternative is, people die. Or they resort to stealing, looting, etc. “But if the government pays everyone, that’s communism/ socialism!” Wrong. If the government shuts down the free market, and gave everyone food water and shelter, that would be communism. It is infinitely better for the government to give people cash than raw resources. It lets the average person have the purchasing power to shape the free market. Why is the distinction important? Because the beauty of capitalism is, it pushes innovation and surfaces the best products to consumers. It lets the average person be able to start their own business. For example, suddenly there are more artists in the world. More musicians. More game developers. The people having cash in their hands means that they can use it to support their favorite art, music, games. “I doubt the government is actually gonna pay people, they’re corrupt and evil.” Yes, the government is corrupt. But what you have to realize is, even the government has incentives. When AI increases the efficiency of every single company, there will be more taxes collected from the corporations (see below tweet). It is in the government’s best interest to reinvest that money back into the economy in the form of UBI/ UHI. Most people who are against what I’m saying, and what @elonmusk said, assumes that the choice is between “AI taking our jobs and we rely on the government.” vs “We keep our jobs.” That is not what the choice is though. The real question is, what should the government do to make this brutal transition period the least painful as possible? It gets very very nuanced, but it absolutely has to start with the government giving people cash. That is the only way. The alternative is a communist police state with people starving, dying, looting, and rioting. And absolutely no one, not even the government, wants that.

Busy people especially those with financial experience don't make tax filing errors like this. I'm sorry, but there's something fishy here. Ilhan Omar's office says she's ‘not a millionaire’ after $30M filing revised down to under $100K: report foxnews.com/politics/ilhan…

Thank you to the Republicans for attacking fraud in social programs. Always remember that BOTH political parties are built on foundations of fraud. Vast amounts of fraud and political payoffs take place in both social programs and military programs.

Apparently Spanberger has forgotten that the purpose of the Second Amendment is to protect the First Amendment, ie to protect the people from a government out of control. You can see in Iran what happens when only the police have weapons. Do you want that for America, Mr. Spanberger? Or are you just an idiot? Spanberger signs gun bills, makes a proposed gun ban even harsher foxnews.com/politics/spanb…

These solutions for education have been discussed for decades. The fundamental problem is that the educational "system" is a government program. End government-run schools, or at least instutute a voucher choice system, and watch effective education evolve quickly.
Dustin@r0ck3t23

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption. That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time. Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.” The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs. That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone. But the education system still runs on its logic. A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait. Neither is being served. Both are being processed. Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.” AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student. One at a time. Every time. It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle. It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done. A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture. The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does. No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill. Because the math doesn’t work. AI doesn’t have that constraint. Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.” The brain isn’t broken. The format is. Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes. That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem. Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.” Four years. Six figures of debt. And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you. The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance. Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.” The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you. Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace. The question isn’t whether the old model survives. It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

Good news if Bessent and team can make anti-fraud policies stick. DOGE was a start, but just a start. It's going to be hard because fraud is inherent in all government programs. The more programs, the larger the budget, the larger the fraud. This includes the military-industrial complex unfortunately, since arming the military is one of the essential functions of the federal government. But we have to look there too.
DC_Draino@DC_Draino

A 20-something kid with a cell phone camera just cut the national budget deficit by exposing hundreds of billions in fraud. Turns out we didn’t need more taxation. Only enforcement of our laws.

Every government program justified as "social justice" is in fact a vote-buying machine. Money goes directly to voters, both fraudulent and real, to vast unions such as the teachers unions and government employee unions, and to non-profits that recycle some of their ill-gotten gains into political contributions. All of this buys votes (and fattens politicians' wallets) under the flag of "social justice." Fraud is the very foundation of progressive politics.
Michael Shermer@michaelshermer

Every economist can tell you what will happen next: —homelessness in L.A. county will increase —cost of housing will increase —$360 million will be almost entirely wasted in bureaucratic red tape —taxes will increase —leftists will celebrate —Limousine libs will feel righteous

It's ironic that Newsom is taking credit for leading the charge against large-scale fraud in California. The very foundation of progressive politics is fraud. Every government program justified as "social justice" is in fact a vote-buying machine. Money goes directly to voters, both fraudulent and real, to vast unions such as the teachers unions and government employee unions, and to non-profits that recycle some of their ill-gotten gains into political contributions.

Nick shirley@nickshirleyy

You tried to paint me as a pervert for exposing fraud, and as a result radical leftists started trying to dox me and send death threats, wanting to kill me. Now you are taking credit for “leading the charge” on the fraud. Are you serious? You are the fraud.
