The part no one realizes is that once people lose faith in the system, they will simply reject it.
So the rich have all the dollars? Then we don't need dollars.
So the rich own all the property? Then we will trespass on the property.
So the rich have all the resources? Bet....
So the rich own all the politicians? Then no more politicians.
Society only works when the masses of people think they are getting an fair shake, and I am not talking about socialism here. I'm saying that when the majority of the public can no longer support their families, they will not ASK for what they need. They will take it.
So the "insanely" wealthy have an option. Remain comfortable in their elite lives by providing opportunity to the masses to just live a normal existence, or have all of their comfort removed.
If you recall, an elite once spoke the words "Then let them eat cake" and quickly found out "them" were much more powerful than she thought.
It's a social construct for society to wish to be peaceful and law abiding...
But it has to work both ways.

Here’s the truth: we’ve already reached AGI — we just haven’t implemented it broadly.
Millions of jobs are being lost as we speak.
Entire careers will be retired.
The rich and powerful investors and founders who implement AGI will get bizarrely rich beyond what makes sense. It will break people's brains on both sides.
It’s gonna suck for a lot of our friends and family, who aren’t obsessed with their careers, because things are moving so fast they won’t have even left the starting gate by the time the awards are handed out.
We’re gonna have to solve for a lot of second- and third-order effects, some of which will suck (job loss) and some of which will be awesome.
AI will create free/cheap energy, free education, cheaper and better food, homes that build themselves and medicine that makes you as healthy as a 30-year-old when you’re 100.
… change is hard, but humans are the most adaptable species nature has ever created.
We can figure it out.
English

@BoCamaro @Tusk_4Real Then we get into the whole, why it is so much to rip and replace a unit that will plug right into where the old one was. No new duck work etc. I can see the price of the unit. But I can't replace myself as I can't get the permit without a license.
English

They all lie, man.
Its why they do what they do.
They will tell you they will do a free "evaluation" and get in the door and then lie.
I had a guy tell me my system was not fixable. When I asked why, he gave me the ole.... "the motor is 20 years old" routine.
When I told him I own an automation company and I had replaced the motor 6 months earlier amd I simply wanted a quote to move some ductwork, he was just standing there like a deer in headlights.
I habe replaced about a dozen systems on my own, for efficiency. I have never.... EVER had a system that couldn't be repaired. Ever.
English

Our Air Conditioning Unit is 20 years old and going out
My entire house is falling apart at exactly 20 years old
It was 95°F and won't even kick on
We got an estimate
$12,000
I really need a different car too
Life is so unaffordable
I've never sold a single share of any stock
I hope I don't have to start now
English

@BoCamaro @Tusk_4Real But I agree. It is not rocket science. But without the right test kits etc. And readily available parts and freon, you are at their mercy.
English

@BoCamaro @Tusk_4Real But then the rest of us are not you. You can't find any of these licensed HVAC guys that will say anything other than replace it.. Always goes out when it is hotest and you just want it fixed.
English

@BoCamaro @Tusk_4Real Yeah that much I knew. Part of that EPA Freon Recovery charge. They charge you to recapture it to drain the system, but sell it to others.
English

@BoCamaro @Tusk_4Real Well damn.. I was lied to by multiple contractors and just replaced my unit last fall. Well the compressor also failed, but the lack of cost effective freon contriubted to the decision to replace.
English

@BoCamaro @Tusk_4Real Yeah but you can't buy freon for a 20 year old system..
English

Man. It is most likely a start capacitor that is $20 on Amazon.
Do NOT replace the whole system because one part failed. That is their gimmick.
Look. Your entire dang system is 1 compressor, 2 fans, and 1 valve.
That's it.
They make it sound like rocket surgery to repair it. BS.
One afternoon on YouTube can show you the simple things to test.
You do not need a new system.
English

@manduhtoryy And then Vandy sweeps us in baseball.... I don't like this reality.
English

@BoCamaro @HarryDisaOG But I agree there is money to be made. I am just not behind this one.
I will have a small position, just because it will be part of almost any balanced fund, but that is all.
But then again I am retired and no longer in growth mode. It is about capital preservation.
English

Lol. Brother, you have been fighting me on this stock for years.
I have held firm to my claim the entire time.
At some point, you are going to have to simply admit you are wrong on this one.🤷♂️
You said Starlink wasn't viable and it would never replace fiber. It's about to IPO as the biggest in history.🤷♂️
You xan keep trying to fight it or come make some money. That's all I know.
I'm already fully committed. I have waited for this IPO for years now.
English

@BoCamaro @HarryDisaOG It still will not displace fiber. Have you ever gamed on it? Latency blows.
It is a solution not THE solution. Plus lots of competition lighting up in the space.
Datacenters in space is the dumbest thing ever conceived.
I want a clear view of the sky, not some science fiction.
English

@BoCamaro @HarryDisaOG Not buying this thesis. Governments will never allow this. They will take it over with emminant domain if this were even to approach truth. All space is regulated and required approval.
English

SpaceX owns Xai, and more importantly, Starlink.
Not only will it dominate space travel, but it will dominate AI compute and worldwide internet.
It will be the most valuable company on Earth by a magnitude of 10.... yes 10...
It's gonna be a $50T company at some point.
I don't care where it opens. I don't cars if it drops or skyrockets. I don't care what happens 5 months or 2 years later.
Every week, I will add to my position... for the next 10 years.
English

@karalot73 @ClayTravis Because doing that at the scale necessary when it is not a core competency for them would cost them billions more than they would make.
its not as easy as posting a video to Youtube when you are talking 10's and 100's of million viewers simultaneously.
English

@ClayTravis Why wouldn’t they have their own streaming service? Take the middle men out of it
English

The NFL is telling its TV partners, give us a billion more dollars a year or we will exercise our option, wipe out your rights, and go to market again in 2029. Up first, CBS. cnbc.com/2026/03/13/nfl…
English

@rtayloracton @ClayTravis I think they have their hands full at the moment.
English

@ClayTravis Saudi Arabia, and I'm only half-kidding. Don't you think the Saudis could throw together a streaming service for NFL rights given the billions they're spending on other, lesser, sports/leagues?
English

@LiV3_WiR3 @BoCamaro @AngryAssetOwner Airgapping is most certainly still considered a viable security approach. Obviously you do not have a clearance and have never worked on Government/Civ or DoD cleared envinronments,
English

@BoCamaro @AngryAssetOwner This is called airgapping, its not considered a viable security approach anymore
English

@lusb15 @SECUnfiltered Why the dugout is not part of the field of play just like the stands.
English

@SECUnfiltered Should have been called out for interfering. TN has bad sportsmanship also
English

@abtechprez @BoCamaro @LizzieMarbach It was the most heart wrenching thing in my life. I miss my sweet angel baby everyday.💛
English

@BoCamaro @LizzieMarbach I’ve done that too. Waiting for your child’s chest to rise with another breath but seeing him go limp in death instead is a pain I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
English

“Mary hurt more than Jesus on that day” 🤯
My mind is blown every day by the level of blasphemy people commit.
🍊🍊Capt'n Cornjuice🥃🥃@BoCamaro
@LizzieMarbach You've never buried a child, have you? I promise you this. Mary hurt more than Jesus on that day watching him on the cross without being able to take his place or help. I'm not talking religion here. I am talking pure human emotion and compassion.
English

@CoryBooker You are out of your depth here.
College is different than pro. Fans follow the school NOT the player. You could field 100 nobodys and we would still fill the stadiums.
English

The White House is hosting a summit about college athletes—without college athletes.
They fill stadiums, put their bodies on the line, and generate billions of dollars in revenue for others.
College athletes are at the very center of college sports. Their voices need to be at the center of any policy discussions about its future.
Bloomberg@business
Without current college athletes in attendance, Trump's "Saving College Sports Roundtable" is a gathering that sidesteps the people most affected, says @AdamMinter (via @opinion) bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

@VolNetwork @SouthwestAir Thank goodness they didn’t paint it that awful orange color! 🙃
English

@BoCamaro @The_Money_Buddy Moral of the story... Learn to play the game better
English

I financed a $104k Cybertruck.
Why?
Because $104K invested at 8% over 5 years (financed term) earns $49k in interest.
The fincing charge of the truck at 1.9%? About $6k total....
So by financing that truck, I make $43k more than burning the $104k
Why buy a $104k truck you ask? Because I needed tax write-offs instead of sending it to Uncle Sam. So that $104k allowed me a bonus depreciation of 100% for the tax year.
So I saved $30k in income taxes by buying the truck and putting it into service.
You have to understand there are levels to the game when you aren't living paycheck to paycheck.
