Flashback 20 yrs ago when I launched my 1st tech watch (an activity monitor for swimmers) at the IronMan World Triathlon Championship.

they’re not jobs if they’re not valued. they’re not valued if there aren’t customers out there willing to pay them for their great work. needing the government to “create” a job is tantamount to welfare and that level of welfare resolves these individuals to a dependency on the government and lack of economic mobility. and chains our people, collectively, to a more indentured future. you may be well intentioned but you have, and always will, fail to see the destitute folly of government as a job creation engine. i have tried to engage you on this topic, in good faith, with empiricism and reasoning, but you have only dodged my points and pivoted to some populist refrain about the importance of taxation and the evils of productivity-driven success. i can only assume you’re dodging these truths because you and the rest of the politburo leadership have deemed the conversation unsafe speech and put your oligopoly at risk. let’s leave it at that then. perhaps if your ways get their day, we can all bask in the glories of the dark ages ahead.

History will remember Elon Musk alongside DaVinci, Gutenberg, Fulton, Pasteur, Edison, Ford and Jobs. History will have no recollection of any kind of Ro Khanna.

. . . like bring home stranded astronauts?

This isn't an 'indictment' of a broken system—it's proof that solving hard problems creates real value. Instead of attacking innovators like Musk how about you spending time to solve Chicago's hard problems. Start with the epidemic of Black-on-Black homicides devastating inner-city neighborhoods. Chicago's murder rate remains far too high. These aren't statistics; they're lost lives and broken families. Real leadership demands better policing, accountability, family support, and opportunity—not demonizing wealth creators. It's time for you to be a real Mayor....

Saving LA - Phase III

Bernie Sanders and AOC haven't created a single millionaire. Elon just created 4,400 millionaires. Socialism vs. Capitalism

Jimmy Kimmel i guess you missed the part of the story i don’t need a U-Haul…I have nothing left to pack 🤷‍♂️

Has anyone else noticed a dramatic decline in Amazon's deliveries? I've been a long-term Prime member and am experiencing a sudden drop to a 40-50% failure rate on delivery promises in the past week alone. Prior to this their on-time delivery was exceptional. @AmazonHelp

Fraud. The answer is fraud.

Famous last words. Ask BlackBerry or Kodak how 'we're still winning' worked out. Arrogance cometh before the fall.

You do get the feeling we’re at an inflection point. Socialism of the kind preached by the progressive left and Mamdani — the stuff the current governor and past governor acquiesced to unfortunately — eventually succumbs to its own madness. It’s simple math because the numbers don’t add up. Combine that with the fact that it’s easier than ever before to work outside the city and more than ever before this socialist city needs an affluent tax base, and you get a powder keg ready to explode. Consider: @jpmorgan has a ritzy new office building in midtown. It also has more employees in Texas than NYC. It can close its HQ and take a tax write off and still be insanely profitable. Same with @Citadel and @apolloglobal. Btw I’m a working class kid; my dad was a construction worker and a bartender, but he knew that without people w money he wouldn’t be employed. So screw the rich all you want, Mr Mamdani, and they will screw you harder when you chase them out and discover that poor people don’t pay the bills

.@Collision is bullish on two types of people: high-agency individuals and double majors. "There are two categories of people I would be super bullish on right now and I think will do incredibly well over the next 10-20 years. First, high-agency people. The people at Stripe who have been talking to customers and know exactly what we should do. It's the people who have that pep in their step and want to go make Stripe better. They are so much more empowered thanks to AI." "The second is double majors. I think if you understand software and understand finance, or if you understand software and understand marketing, you now can go massively improve the entire marketing funnel for your company. Now, one person can do what would have taken 20 people dredging through all these systems." "Charlie Munger talked about the importance of being multidisciplinary and multidisciplinary thinking. He thinks getting a functional understanding of many disciplines is not that hard. You can just go read the books now or you can talk to your AI about it. I think multidisciplinary thinkers are going to do incredibly well."

Hey @Apple, I'd like to report a bug. Or a miracle.
