Spent 9 seasons on how he met their mother… just to undo it in the last 5 minutes. Still hurts.

@JoePompliano @RIDG_Sween Joe, you’ve seen enough deals… if him playing gets more viewers to a tournament that had around 200K viewers last year… you’re telling me sponsors and TV rights owners wouldn’t want that and couldn’t come up with a contract amendment?

@RampCapitalLLC What 2 aps would you keep alive if all the other aps died? Mine would be google maps and any of the music aps.

If golf wants to run into the arms of gambling partners at every turn, this kind of info needs to be disclosed.

Rory has hit 10 of 27 fairways so far this week, which is 152nd in the field. He was one of two heavy favorites.

@RampCapitalLLC Ironically, it’s social media.

@SuitablePolitic This reminds me of moneyball where they trade the 1B they don’t want playing. If the auditors are let go, eventually they will have to simplify the tax code so they can simplify enforcement.

Greatest and most important day of the year. Thank you Jesus!
Happy Easter 🙏🏼

@realEstateTrent @SarahGemi44 We had this same issue. I liked my job and she liked hers. But we decided to scale back and I kept my job bc it provided more. She works part time now to scratch that itch, but we and our kids are both 100x happier than when we had 2 high incomes. It saved our family.

I'm concerned that many people do not understand the historical and institutional context in which the DOGE labor reforms are unfolding. They look at this as if these are some random, chaotic, arbitrary, strange, and even cruel measures to impose on a devoted civil service.

The reality is very different, and I'm not even sure that Elon entirely understands this. For more than a century, even dating back to 1883, the civil service has grown and grown without check from the elected branch, either the presidency or the legislature . The bureaucracies have ballooned from a few to 450 or so. The bloat and absurdities have grown too.

Get this: no one has ever known what to do about it. Not Coolidge, not Hoover, not Nixon, not Reagan, not Clinton, no one. No president has been able to crack this nut. The only reforms ever to have made it through are those that make the administrative state bigger, never smaller.

Countless cabinet secretaries have come and gone, always with the intention of making a change but leaving saddened, demoralized, outwitted, outgunned, and ultimately devoured.

No president has seriously taken on this problem because they simply did not know how. The unions are powerful, the intimidation from the deep institutional knowledge is overwhelming, the fear of the media as been powerful, and every single president comes to power vaguely feeling threatened by the intelligence agencies. The industries that have captured every single agency were also far too powerful to unseat or control.

This combination of institutional inertia has blocked serious reform for a full century. No one has dared. No one has even had a theory or strategy about what to do about this problem. It had become so terrible that most people in politics have simply surrendered, like homeowners who know there are rats in the basement and bats in the attic but long ago gave up trying to fix the issue.

All this time, the American people have felt themselves ever more oppressed, weighed upon, taxed and regulated, spied upon, brow beaten, and otherwise overwhelmed. Voting never made any difference because the politicians no longer controlled the system. The bureaucracies ruled all.

The Biden years underscored the point. We didn't even need a conscious and present executive. We only needed a figurehead to pretend to be president, just like the Soviet premiers in the old days. The institutions ran everything and the people controlled nothing.

How to deal with this? Trump alone figured it out in his last term: he simply took charge of the agencies in a limited way. There were screams of horror and plots galore. They performed a long stream of clever schemes to destroy him and show him who is boss, which is not the democratically elected president but the forces behind the scenes.

The job of the president, goes the message from all the insiders, is to PRETEND to be in charge but not actually do anything meaningful. Shut up, mug up, obey, and disturb nothing, let the administrative state do its thing without oversight or disruption, and then you will get your honorary library and bestselling autobiography and go down in history as great.

Trump refused the deal and look what happened.

Four years have gone by and Trump is back again, this time with a determination to slay this beast, one that he knows all-to-well. The efforts of DOGE and MAHA and MAGA are epic in scope, breaking a century of pathetic acquiescence toward the deep, middle, and shallow states, at last using moral courage to confront the problem head on, come what may.

They are profoundly aware that they MUST act fast and with some degree of ferocity, even recklessness, else we will default back to the status quo of leaders who pretend to be in charge while the embedded system runs things behind the scenes.

It has been this way for TOO LONG. The voters this time have demanded change, and mustered the faith to believe that change is possible. This is precisely what DOGE is attempting, to make good on a promise, a promise that for once the voters actually believed was credible.

They simply must succeed. There might never be another chance. The way of failure is the path everyone knows the US was on, toward economic stagnation, political scolerosis, and eventual irrelevance in the unfolding of the next stage of social evolution.

@CaitlinDineen I had the same thing. I guess it means it’s time for me to go outside.

[Adam Luebbert @ALL_Luck]

@mrstesori It was amazing. To see Tiger and Rory take it on yesterday was unbelievable.

[Adam Luebbert @ALL_Luck]

This is pretty terrifying. I felt like this was happening, it’s eye opening to see how big the system behind it was.

@TheChallenge can we make a new rule where is someone bows out of a daily challenge, @tjlavin can choose to put them in the elimination challenge if he deems it appropriate?

I would love to see a @MarkRober video on solutions for this. I feel like a lot of companies would pay 10s of millions for someone to be a space cleaner.

Twenty years ago, the probability of a satellite in low earth orbit being hit by a debris that creates significant damage per year was one in a million. The same probability of that same satellite, on the same orbit, being hit by debris is one in 10,000. https://t.co/PcyKxo30nk
