Here’s how Polish fans celebrate their club’s victory. Before leaving the square, they cleaned up after themselves. No one was beaten up or raped. Be Like Poland.

It was an honor to visit your husband’s grave today on your behalf, and to pay my respects. It was wonderful to see the beautiful flowers representing many others who did the same. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the loved ones they left behind. Thank you for your service and sacrifice @SharrellAnne2 🙏🏽

The UK has an embezzlement problem which gets ignored because this government convinces people to pay more taxes. The same taxes that are being mismanaged and embezzled 🤣

this is literally a million times worse than george floyd

Charlie Munger: “Berkshire would’ve been a lot bigger if we had used leverage, but we would be sweating at night.” “And it’s crazy to sweat at night…” (pause) Warren Buffett: “Over financial things.” 😂😂😂

@Jake__Wujastyk Someone always knows!

$GME #GameStop Still don’t understand this literally at all based on a 1.75% move on share price today. I guess we’ll see if it means anything relatively soon.

Stop taking advice from people who've never built anything. If they haven't put something on the line, their opinion on your risk isn't worth hearing. The people who judge the attempt are never the ones making one.

Larry Ellison just asked the one question no journalist on Earth can answer. A Wall Street Journal writer told Ellison to his face that Elon Musk doesn’t know what he’s doing. Ellison didn’t argue. Didn’t get emotional. He just asked a question. Ellison: “This guy is landing rockets on robot drone rafts in the ocean, and you’re saying he doesn’t know what he’s doing. You ever land a rocket?” One question. No recovery. Ellison: “Who are you? Why should I believe you as opposed to my friend Elon?” This is the question the entire media class has been dodging for a decade. Who are you to judge? What have you built? What have you shipped? What problem have you solved that didn’t involve a keyboard and a deadline? Ellison: “You’re there in front of your Apple Macintosh typing up an article saying Elon’s an idiot.” They sit behind a laptop they did not engineer. Using a network they did not build. Running on silicon they cannot explain. To tell the world that the man sending humans to space doesn’t know what he’s doing. They have never built anything heavier than a Word document. And they publish it with absolute certainty. That’s the part that should disturb you. Not the criticism. The confidence behind it. The total absence of self-awareness it takes to judge disciplines you wouldn’t last a single semester in. Musk does not operate in opinion. He operates in the physical layer of the universe where the math closes or the rocket does not come home. His critics operate in a text editor. He built the vehicle that carries NASA astronauts to the International Space Station. The satellite constellation delivering internet to active war zones. The EV that forced every automaker on Earth to abandon their combustion roadmap. His loudest critics built a byline. So why the coordinated hatred? Because they lost the leash. The attacks didn’t escalate because Musk got worse at engineering. They escalated because he bought X. He cracked open the algorithm. He handed the public square back to the people. And he shattered their ability to control what you’re allowed to think. They don’t hate the engineer. They hate that the engineer took their monopoly. You cannot cancel a rocket. You cannot publish a hit piece on gravity. You cannot edit the laws of physics. They own the syntax. He owns the physics. One of them is going to Mars.

What she left out. Senator Warren correctly pointed out that Tesla paid zero federal corporate income tax last year despite billions in U.S. profit. But this wasn’t because of secret loopholes only Tesla uses. Tesla simply applied standard tax provisions that Congress wrote into the law and that many American businesses use: • Accelerated depreciation on factories & equipment • R&D tax credits • Net operating loss carryforwards from earlier years • Manufacturing and EV production incentives. These breaks are available to any qualifying company. Tesla benefits more than most because it invests heavily in research, new factories, and new technology. Important note: Tesla still pays billions in payroll, property, sales, and other taxes. The real debate is whether these incentives should be changed, not whether Tesla is receiving special treatment. If she does not like the IRS tax laws, she can petition to have them changed, although I doubt she will, since I am sure she benefits from them as well.

It’s lonely at the top…

If you hate billionaires, go all the way, pussy. Ditch the iPhone, the laptop, the tablet. Get off the internet. No Amazon, no big box stores, no Starbucks. Grow your own food. Thrift your clothes. Walk everywhere. And obviously no working for, buying from, or interacting with any company that scales beyond a farmers market. Enjoy your abundance.
