It’s a lazy Saturday and I’m re-watching Secret of My Success (I’m in the market with rom com script and feeling nostalgic). Here’s my pitch for why you should watch if you’ve never seen it. open.substack.com/pub/thecon…

Unlike too many people in my business he loves the country which has flocked to his movies for 50 years, made him rich and famous, and which forgave him his myriad human stumbles.

As a kid I saved up the whole year so that I could spend it all at South of the Border on our annual drive South for summer vacation
A delightful piece from our Jennifer Tiedemann on... South of the Border, which we drove past yesterday.
"South of the Border is not some sort of nostalgia act. It is not kitsch for the sake of kitsch, camp for the sake of camp. It’s not meant to be studied. It is retro without a lick of postmodernist self-awareness; there’s no wink-and-a-nod, no “we know better now.” South of the Border is appreciated best when appreciated unironically, without a trace of cynicism. It’s a place of unbridled joy, and quintessentially American."

Hasan Piker purchases a second home in New York City to help him spread socialism.
The $27,950,000 penthouse commands a stunning view of Central Park and will serve as Piker's vacation home.

I’m way richer now…
Many people need to hear this.
The only people the rich 'create wealth' for is themselves.
This is why despite the US getting 40x richer in the last 50 years, you are poorer than ever.

Somebody got rich selling “I bought this before Elon went crazy” bumper stickers to LA Progressives

I still get confused as to why the left flipped on Musk…I thought because he was making electric cars and was a pioneer of green energy that they would like him? They do care about green energy right? What’s the problem?

My favorite new Twitter genre is “I’m a loser who has failed at life but you should totally listen to my ideas about how to upend and fundamentally transform our entire capitalist economic system”

Elon’s net worth is enough to pay one year of interest costs that US government pays on its debt.

Khans could probably get every spending priority he wants funded if he and his party would spend the bare minimum of time and effort to make it look like they care about fraud waste and abuse. But he can’t, because he’s in the grip of oppositional defiant disorder
Brad, a 5% tax on Elon's trillion net worth would literally pay for free college and trade school for every American.
And with the market's growth, he still would be worth over a trillion dollars!
You don't think that's worth it?
Community note
5% of $1.2T is $60b. 8m students in BA/BS programs on average pay over $20k/yr, or ~$160b/yr for BA/BS degrees only.
That tax could not cover even half of only US bachelor degree costs for just 1 year, excluding grad, ass., or trade degrees totaling another ~10m students.

This is not sustainable.
Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.
We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

I know how Elon Musk became a trillionaire, but I don't know how Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and Nancy Pelosi became millionaires.

One of its problems, yes. The bigger issue was that it made Mescal a leader of men without first giving us any reason to believe it.

Right? Apparently people are aware of what happens when the USMT plays a game in Mexico. Hell, I went to a USA v Mexico “friendly” at the Rose Bowl after 9/11 and the Mexico fans were chanting “Osama, Osama!”
The U.S. is Mexico’s bitter soccer rival, it’s like asking Eagles fans to cheer a Cowboys flag. Cheering for the Canadian flag, is different, it’s like how you never boo at the Special Olympics.

Democrats could probably get exactly the massive welfare state they want if they could just let go of their desire to flood the country with illegal immigrants whom the existing citizenry understands are mainly here to Hoover up the benefits of that welfare state. Alas…
There was once a that socialism would work better than capitalism. This was mostly wrong and post-1989 it seemed like we'd agree on market economies plus a welfare state.
But an injection of green degrowth has birthed "socialism will wreck the economy — in a good way!"

Musk’s net worth has zero bearing on mine, other than the extent to which his companies are successful and boost the market in which I am invested.
