Working Wealth

This man moved from the UK to the United States After living here for awhile and going through our healthcare system, he says “It feels like the way this country treats its citizens are like, really disposable” “Oh, that person's broken, throw 'em away. We will just get another one in. Oh look, that person's aged out. Throw 'em away. Get someone younger in… And yet at the same time, they make us feel bad for not going above and beyond and basically breaking ourselves, breaking our own backs to, you know, feel validated” He can’t believe how big of a scam our healthcare system is. He described how deductibles and coverage here is “a scam” We need healthcare reform, and we need it right now Other developed counties have better healthcare systems, we should not settle for what we have

Mayor Mamdani just said it out loud: "The wealth of a median white household in the city is more than $200,000, while that of a black household is less than $20,000." Ten times the wealth. Same city. Same century.

CALLER: I put $3,000 worth of monthly expenses on my credit card and pay off in full. I get 2% cash back, so that's $60 back every month. DAVE RAMSEY: Get rid of the card. You're telling me that you spend $3,000 on a high interest credit card, just to get $60? That's not how you get rich! CALLER: I don't pay interest, I pay it off every month and get $60. DAVE RAMSEY: Get rid the card, use debit cards ONLY! CALLER: So give up the $60 I get back monthly? DAVE RAMSEY: That's not how you get rich! In reality, if you are resposible, USE credit cards. It's not just cash back. It's also liability protection. Every dollar matters.

Absolutely!!! Why are we STILL requiring students to take foreign language in high school when there is virtually no benefit. Do high schoolers become fluent in the foreign language? No. Does it have a high ROI on cognitive development and brain health? Also no. Students’ brains would benefit more from 60 minutes of aerobic exercise than from sitting in a foreign language class. Also, we all have translators in our pockets. This is one of the many requirements in education whose time has expired. Public ed must stop wasting students’ time.

Elon recruited 11 cracked AI bros, gave each ~1% equity, and asked them to copy OpenAI. Made them work like slaves and pressed every single drop of juice out of them. 2 years later, Grok is now worth $250B. Each of the 11 bros left with a $1B bag. Grok may not be SOTA, but everyone can still be happy with the result of this collaboration..

In St Louis Mi for a hockey trip this weekend First time ever in this state. Went to eat last night at a spot in Clayton Probably one of the cleanest and nicest cities I’ve ever been too. Makes Philly look like a landfill People seem very friendly too. Demographics definitely matter.

A team at Dave Ramsey's company conducted the largest study on millionaires ever. The results are not what you would expect: • Most millionaires were in their +40s with paid off Personal Homes • Most millionaires contributed to their 401k plans • Most millionaires shared a bank account with their partner • Most millionaires on average made less than $100,000 yearly • Most millionaires never took a business loan • Most millionaires are self-made It isn't easy, but being a millionaire is well in reach for many people.

I can't believe that Nvidia looked at this "AI on top of games filter" and said to themselves this is the future of gaming. Like it or not, this is where Nvidia is heading and they're calling it neural rendering with DLSS 5. The examples they've showed reminded me a lot of those AI generated filter videos on top of GTA V, except that now it is supposed to run in real-time. Honestly, I don't like this current look at all

Eğer İsrail; İran’dan sonra Türkiye’yi hedef yapmayı planlıyorsa, ABD ile birlikte Türkiye’ye saldırmayı düşünüyorsa; 1- Önce Ege’de adaları işgal ederiz. 2- Sonra Batı Trakya’yı kurtarır hatta tüm Yunanistan’ı işgal ederiz. 3- Sonra Kıbrıs’ın tamamını alırız. Çünkü onlar İsrail’in tetikçisi oldu. En sonunda da “asıl cephe” başlar; 1- İsrail’i işgal ederiz. Açık söylüyorum işgal ederiz. 2- Tel Aviv’i yok eder, Kudüs’ü kurtarırız. 3- Milyonları İsrail’e akıtır, taş üstünde taş bırakmayız. Tarihe bakın hele.. Ne örnekler var. Hiçbir güç bu coğrafyada Türkiye’den habersiz harita çizemez. Bu bin yıldır böyle. Sadece yüz yıl ara verdik ve o süre bitti. Döndük... Herkes hesabını buna göre yapsın!

The US spends $0 on federally mandated paid parental leave. Its fertility rate just hit an all-time low. And now we’re writing magazine pieces asking why parents have regrets. The US fertility rate hit 1.599 in 2024. Down from 2.1 in 2007. The country can’t replace its own population anymore. Three moms tell NY Mag they want their old lives back, and 70,000 people visit r/regretfulparents every week. Studies put the number at 8-14% of parents who’d choose differently if they could rewind. But the framing of “regret” as a personal feeling misses what’s actually happening. The cost of raising a child in the US hit $310,000+ through age 17 by USDA estimates. Childcare runs $12,000-$15,000 a year. The US is one of six countries on earth with zero federally mandated paid parental leave. You have a system that tells people parenthood is life’s greatest purpose, provides almost no structural support for it, then calls them broken when they struggle. The 70,000 weekly visitors to that subreddit aren’t experiencing a psychological anomaly. They’re the honest ones in a system where 62% of women say they’re unsure about having more kids and fertility just fell off a cliff. We keep calling this a stigma problem. It’s a policy failure.

My prenup involved a ton of crying, yelling, and calling off the marriage But we got it signed and hasn’t come up since No reason to get married without one

People are dragging this woman, but I can assure you: 1) this is not the belief of a small fringe minority 2) it is not a joke. I was raised in a fundamentalist evangelical household. Homeschooled my entire life, taught young earth creationism, steeped in religious fundamentalist curriculum. I left that world at 17. My church, my family, my friends genuinely believed that a war in Iran would signal the apocalypse and usher in the final chapters of Revelation, setting the stage for the Rapture. I have genuine love and respect for my religious and evangelical friends and family. But for some, their views get into “doomsday cult” territory. And that would just be a private matter of faith, except these people run the country. Military leaders are now saying this out loud as justification for the latest American conflict. That should terrify you.

After all these absurd burger taste testing, it’s worth pointing out that McDonald’s CEO is outperforming fast food peers in past 5 years including Chipotle, Yum! (Tace Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC), RBI (Tim Hortons, Burger King, Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen)…and clapping Wendy’s.
