.@PalmerLuckey: “You can’t tell kids to follow their dreams when their dreams suck.” “Do you know what the #1 dream was for kids in 1971? Astronaut. We’d just gone to the moon. That’s a great dream.” “You know what the #1 job that kids most want today is? It’s social media influencer, professional gamer, YouTuber.” “The problem is—you can’t tell kids to follow their dreams, when their dreams suck.”

Yes, according to LexisNexis analysis by Haywood Talcove (who estimated the total CA EDD fraud at $32.6B), about 70% of the fraudulent payments left the US. It went to transnational criminal syndicates in places like China, Nigeria, Russia, and Romania, who used stolen identities to file claims. Much of it funded other crimes like trafficking. Only a fraction has been recovered.


If you, like me, just woke up, let me catch you up on the Claude Code Leak (I know nothing, all conjecture): > Someone inside Anthropic, got switched to Adaptive reasoning mode > Their Claude Code switched to Sonnet > Committed the .map file of Claude Code > Effectively leaking the ENTIRE CC Source Code > @realsigridjin was tired after running 2 south korean hackathons in SF, saw the leak > Rules in Korea are different, he cloned the repo, went to sleep > Wakes up to 25K stars, and his GF begging him to take it down (she's a copyright lawyer) > Their team decided - how about we have agents rewrite this in Python!? Surely... this is more legal > Rewrite in Py > Board a plane to SK🇰🇷 > One of the guys decides python is slow, is now rewriting ALL OF CLAUDE CODE into Rust. > Anthropic cannot take down, cannot sue > Is this "fair use?" > TL;DR - we're about to have open source Claude Code in Rust







Here is what a tax like this does: 1) It excites people with zero agency and infinite envy. Beware of these people. 2) It will keep middle class people firmly in the middle class with no real chance of getting wealthy if they stay in Washington State. It should be clear that this IS the strategy. Learned helplessness of the electorate will keep Washington State’s current elected officials in office. 3) It will never allow the upwardly mobile of building any assets or real wealth unless they move. Capping the American Dream is a dystopian and malevolent scheme. It cannot be a valid strategy. But unless droves of middle and upper middle class people leave Washington State, this strategy will win.
