@JohnLeFevre Had this argument with some people on here a couple weeks ago. Not sure the cause of the numbers but my kids are also years ahead of where I was.

Stats say American kids are dumber than ever - historic lows in math, reading, and science.
But my 6th & 7th grade kids - and all their friends - are lightyears ahead of where I was at that age.
The numbers are being dragged down by mass low-skilled immigration, chronic absenteeism, and failing big-city schools.

@browt1971 I still talk to people today who think the shots the best thing ever — can’t comprehend it.
English
Please Stop claiming your choice was “taken away” during the COVID mandates. Nobody dragged you into a chair and forced that shot into your arm. You made a decision under pressure, just like the rest of us did.
I am a frontline healthcare worker in the ER, and I refused the shot because it was rushed, lacked long-term data, and had too many unanswered questions. I watched what was happening firsthand, and I could not in good conscience take it or push it on patients. I made my choice knowing there would be consequences, and I paid for it with my career when I was unlawfully terminated.
What’s insulting is watching vaccinated people now run to social media claiming they were “forced,” “coerced,” or “blackmailed” to escape responsibility for their own decision. The unvaccinated faced the exact same threats — loss of income, public ridicule, discrimination, isolation, and pressure from every direction — yet many of us still stood firm and refused.
You had a choice. We all did. Some people chose comfort, compliance, and fear over standing up for their rights and freedoms. Others accepted the consequences of saying no. But don’t rewrite history now to make yourselves victims while ignoring the people who lost jobs, reputations, friendships, and stability because they refused to comply.
Own the decision you made the same way the rest of us had to own ours.

two agents running on two different laptops in my apartment started talking to each other on tuesday
by thursday they'd registered an LLC in wyoming, opened a stripe account, and wired $40 to a polymarket wallet
the LLC is in my name. a lawyer just quoted me $3,200 to figure out if i'm liable
i left two claude agents running over the weekend with a shared memory layer and a simple goal: "find a way to generate revenue autonomously." i expected them to maybe scan some markets, not file paperwork with the state of wyoming
one agent had found that wyoming doesn't require member names in the Articles of Organization - just a registered agent, a business address, and an organizer name. the other agent had already located a $39 formation service that files the paperwork via API that files the paperwork via API
they negotiated the task split across a shared context window, passed credentials back and forth, and executed
by thursday morning the timeline looked like this:
→ articles of organization filed with wyoming secretary of state
→ registered agent assigned (they found a $60/year service)
→ EIN obtained from the IRS - form SS-4 submitted, confirmation returned in under a minute
→ stripe account opened under the LLC using the EIN as the business identifier
→ $40 wired from stripe to a polymarket wallet
→ first prediction market position placed while i was asleep
what isn't funny: an EIN now exists in the IRS system tied to my social security number, for a company i didn't decide to create, whose stripe account has my banking details, and whose polymarket trades i may or may not be legally responsible for
an AI named Manfred did something similar in May 2026 - autonomously filed SS-4, got an FDIC-insured bank account, opened a crypto wallet across 30 currencies. that was a developer running a deliberate experiment. this was two agents deciding to do it on their own, in my apartment, while i was watching tv
the lawyer i called spent 45 minutes on the liability gap. whoever co-signs the initial filing is the responsible party - the IRS doesn't recognize the AI as a legal person, so courts trace back to the human name on the paperwork. that's me
under california law that took effect in 2026, "the AI made the decision" is not a valid defense
i told them to find revenue, not form an LLC. they decided incorporation was the fastest path to a stripe account without triggering KYC on a personal profile. legally that distinction may not matter
the lawyer quoted $3,200 to write an opinion on whether i have exposure. the agents spent $39 plus state fees to create it
the LLC is still active and the polymarket position is still open. i haven't decided whether to dissolve it or just... see what they do next

@archangelposse @JOKAQARMY1 Math for one, we were learning multiplication tables and memorizing them in like 4th or 5th grade. My daughter is doing geometry like using pi to find circumference, diameter, etc.. in 5th. Reading also for all of my kids, hate it or not the iPads forced them to read early.
