Despite challenges, parts of California remain successful and well-run, like Orange County. Potential is there; mismanagement is the issue. Financial restructuring could force a political realignment and lead to recovery. #California #Economy

Worried about demographic hiring preferences in tech? The real concern is AI. Focus on adapting to the AI reality—it's the future of your career, not hiring trends. #TechFuture #AI

California's water crisis isn't economic, it's political. Decades without new reservoirs or dams despite a doubling population highlight a lack of political will to solve droughts. #CaliforniaWater #Infrastructure #Politics

Universal Basic Income (UBI)? The math simply doesn't add up. Providing even $2000/month to every American would bankrupt the government. It's not a feasible solution. #UBI #Economics

For anyone who used a computer between 1990 & 2005… what’s the one game you still think about?

It’s crazy to see passport bros making it into the Economist. See my Debunking the Doomer video on passport bros for my thoughts on it.

What financial support do parents owe their children?

Does everyone need to be a small business owner to succeed? Technological disruption is changing societal needs. While not essential for all, adopting a small business owner's high-agency mindset is key to success. #BusinessMindset #FutureOfWork

@swilsonpmcnc @adamstatonsmith @MainStLender Yes it is. SEC schools are winning bigger piece of smaller pie. Are We Running Out of College Students? youtu.be/opRJcf9eqZM

@AFwithNick @adamstatonsmith @MainStLender But is it? This paywalled but you can find the data elsewhere. chronicle.com/article/the-so…

Holy shit, UO is bleeding students and about to cut deep, and the president just sent the campus a polite warning shot.

@adamstatonsmith @MainStLender Demographics. The enrollment cliff is real and affecting universities nationwide

@MainStLender I loathe the ducks. But their brand is fucking strong. No idea why they aren’t drawing more applicants. They have plenty of vacancy for more students

Starting from scratch with no cash or equity? First, define your life goal. Then, identify disruptions in the traditional path. Aim for a 2-5 year role in your desired field, build case studies, and self-educate to create a compelling pitch. #CareerAdvice #StartingOut

Will rising costs push Americans to emigrate? Some retirees might relocate for affordability. Gen X could explore emerging economies for better healthcare and lower living expenses

The Research Triangle and Charlotte, NC, along with Miami and South Florida, are poised for significant growth over the next 20 years. Dallas is also booming, attracting companies relocating from LA due to its central location and expansion potential

Europe's resistance to technology, combined with an aging population and a preference for social harmony over economic dynamism, cripples its ability to compete. A cultural and spiritual shift, a great awakening, is desperately needed. #Europe #Technology #FutureOfEurope

High-stakes professions like brokering major deals, managing billions, or life-or-death medical care won't be easily automated. To protect your career, focus on roles where human judgment is essential due to the high stakes involved. #Career #FutureOfWork #Automation

Wondering if Big Tech is still worth it? Early career, it's invaluable for networking, learning internal operations, and gaining real-world experience. Use this time to strategize and figure out your long-term goals, especially if you're under 30. #BigTech #CareerAdvice

@SensiblerMann You’re welcome. Thanks for the kind words

@AFwithNick Thank you Nick. Your pragmatism has really helped me shed a lot of my bad beliefs about the world being a bleak place. Love what you’re sharing on YouTube. Continue the good fight!

Doomer claims often fall flat. Realizing the world isn't so bad, and a doomer attitude is counterproductive, can change everything. It's okay to have a doomer phase, but it's time to quit it. #NoMoreDoomers #PositiveMindset

@FirstSquawk How are they paying for it? 58% of 55 year olds do not have enough assets to do this and live a comfortable life

Older Americans are stepping out of work faster. Only about 42% of men aged 55+ are still working or looking for work — the lowest level in over two decades

@Brian_Peotter Is that fair to your kids or their spouses? You need to have a retirement plan beyond an intergenerational bail out.

I decided before I started that I would rely on my kids to help mw retire. Ive got 5, and my retirement savings have fed and clothed them
