I’m paying close to $300 a tank to run my truck. And that’s not including gas for farm activity. I have a farm. I can’t haul any livestock ANYWHERE. Neither can my neighbors who have cattle. One of them sold all his cattle and he’s out of the business. I know many farmers who grow hay, wheat, pumpkin, corn, cattle and they’re going under. People do not understand how much trouble we are in as a country.

Spirit Airlines gets a lot of flack, but I'll be sad to see them go. In March of 2019, I was a college student with little disposable money. My grandfather's health was failing, and I knew he wouldn't live to see me graduate six weeks later. Spirit had a last-minute $99 fare Boston to Fort Myers. I didn't tell anyone I was going – I got up at 4 a.m., flew to Florida without any bags, Ubered to his mobile home, surprised him for lunch and made it back to Boston that night for classes. It was the last time he was able to speak – he died shortly thereafter. I'm so incredibly glad I dropped the $99 – I'll always be thankful Spirit was around to get me there cheap when no other airline would.






🤯BREAKING: Researchers just mathematically proved that AI layoffs will collapse the economy: and every CEO already knows it. The AI Layoff Trap. A game theory paper from UPenn + Boston University is glaringly important! 100K+ tech layoffs in 2025. 80% of US workers exposed. And no market force can stop it. → Every company fires workers to cut costs → Every fired worker stops buying products → Revenue collapses across every sector → The companies that fired everyone go bankrupt It's a Prisoner's Dilemma with math behind it. Automate and you survive short-term. Don't automate and your competitor kills you. But everyone automating destroys the demand that makes all companies viable. UBI (universal basic income) won't fix it. Profit taxes won't fix it. The researchers found only one solution: a Pigouvian automation tax "robot tax" The AI trap on the economy is here!



We waiting for this to become true 🇮🇱
