This tax day, let's address the populist myth that 𝐘𝐨𝐮 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐝ᵀᴹ with the middle class paying all the taxes & the rich paying $0. Yes, we can find individual examples, and maybe you wish the rich paid more. But they fund nearly all the govt.🧵
Truly crazy to me that any American can support Iran. All these far left kids have zero knowledge of history.
We are about 3 months (maybe less) before someone puts together and markets a charting hit song via solely AI. Wait until AI is embodied.... things are going to get wild *very* fast. And I'm here for it. Been waiting since about 1992. udio.com/songs/coixNX1g…
We are about to prove, in a glaringly obvious manner, that science and math win -- every time!
Nothing to do with minimum wage. It’s about efficiency. And overall cost savings —> you cannot depreciate labor but you can equipment. Get used to seeing a ** lot ** more of this, regardless of wage growth.

Congrats to @EileenCookCnty It takes real grit to run these days and serve the people for the future of Chicago. It will be a difficult but fascinating and rewarding transition from the status quo
Chicagoans voted “No” on #BringChicagoHome NOT b/c they don’t care about homelessness but b/c @BringChiHome was fundamentally dishonest with voters. 🧵 1/
In my opinion, this referendum never had much to do about homelessness… It was part of a broader sociopolitical mission. Glad it failed. Want to help homelessness: grow the economy, create good paying jobs, incentivize housing development and prioritize education over the CTU.

My mind was blown when I heard this earlier today.. "Imagine we discovered a new continent with 100 BILLION people on it, and they're all willing to work for free! That's what's about to happen with #AI, so you'd better factor that into your plans." @natfriedman #Abundance360
Final thought about the casino.... The same self identified socialists who want to raise taxes are the ones who support a casino which disproportionately negatively impacts the communities they say they are serving Total hypocrisy as usual with Chicago city govt.

Morons. Utter morons. What a hateful movement. If there was ANY moral leadership of these protest movements or of Gaza itself there would be peace and prosperity. “River to sea” “we don’t want two state we want 48” “death to America/jews/israel” This movement is Bibi’s dream.
In a social experiment, a couple friends and I went to a Pro-Palestine protest in NYC with just American flags. The protestors’ reactions were truly shocking. Two of our flags were lit on fire and one was stolen. They praised Osama Bin Laden and chanted “death to America” This is…
