If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $1.2 trillion that he's worth today.
Elon would still be the wealthiest man alive & every family in America would have universal childcare.
MAGA: Obama’s $1.7 billion to Iran to reduce uranium stockpile by 98% = TREASON.
MAGA when they find out 2026 proposal includes: $12B up front, $12B in 60 days, $300B reconstruction plan & conceding Hormuz to Iran & not addressing ballistic missiles or enriched uranium/nukes:
Can’t stop thinking about how Wall Street is celebrating Elon Musk becoming the world’s first trillionaire, while he single handedly eliminated humanitarian aid that will lead to the needless deaths of 4.5 million of the poorest children in the world in the next 4 years.
Mad Men creator said the show was never about advertising. It was about the gap between what people want and what they can actually have. "Happiness is always in that gap in between," he said. Don is a man who has everything the era told him to want, and cannot feel any of it.
Met a waiter at a steakhouse who probably adds $20k/mo to the restaurant.
Made me feel stupid because I thought he was just taking orders.
Legit assassin. No pressure in his voice ever. No fake smile. No hard sell. Controls the table like he’s done it 10,000 times.
He taught me something that changed everything about how I sell premium offers.
We sat down and my friend said he wasn’t going crazy tonight. Just wanted something simple.
The waiter looked at the menu, pointed at 3 steaks, and said:
“If you want a normal dinner, the sirloin is solid. If you care more about flavor, the ribeye makes sense. But if you came here for the full experience, that’s the tomahawk.”
Then he shut up as if nothing had happened.
No explanation. No recommendation. No “this is our best one.”
That hit me different.
People are trying way too hard to sell. You’re “explaining” your deliverables. You’re “proving” your value. You’re “justifying” why your premium offer costs what it costs.
Meanwhile killers don’t explain. They frame. They position. They let the buyer feel the gap.
My friend ordered the $280 tomahawk 60 seconds later.
Old me would’ve thought the waiter upsold him.
The new me saw what actually happened. He made the cheap steak feel basic, the middle steak feel safe, and the expensive steak feel like the only serious choice.
That is The Menu Frame.
Your prospect doesn’t need another 30-minute pitch about your process.
He needs to see the difference between the small fix, the partial solution, and the full outcome.
Because once the cheap option feels like a compromise, the premium option stops feeling expensive.
It starts feeling obvious.
Your pricing isn’t the problem.
Your frame is weak.
Incredible. Scotland puts a wind turbine near Trump’s golf course in Aberdeen 20 years ago. He sues and loses. Then his resulting hatred of wind turbines now ends up with the US Secretaries of Defense & Interior fabricating absurd lies to justify killing wind energy in the US.
I cannot emphasize how stupid you must be to willfully believe there is a "non political" side of money including taxes, healthcare, housing, childcare, water rights, energy costs, the CFPB, school lunches, interest rates, tariffs, mortgage interest deductions, and medical debt
NEW LONG FORM VIDEO: Why Cartoon Network went from 100 million homes to off the air
Back in 2011, Cartoon Network was in more than 100 million homes. It was one of the most sought-after places to work in entertainment and routinely outperformed competitors like Nickelodeon and Disney Channel. For an entire generation, it was the home of some of the most beloved animated shows ever made.
But by 2024, its audience had collapsed. Daily viewership had fallen to just 74,000 people, and the network as most people knew it effectively disappeared from the air.
And while it’s easy to blame the internet, Netflix, or YouTube for Cartoon Network’s downfall, the truth is much more complicated. The seeds of its decline were planted years before streaming ever took over.
This is the rise and fall of Cartoon Network.
A guide to ADHD time:
- "5 minutes" = 47 minutes
- "I'll be there at 8" = I'll leave at 8
- "Quick task" = 4 hours
- "I'll text you back later" = in 11 days
- "I'll do it tomorrow" = I will think about it tomorrow
Apparently this is "executive dysfunction."
Trump cant allow anyone in the Epstein files to be charged because his name would come up in their trial.
The ENTIRE Republican party is protecting Trump & the Epstein Elite.
Stop calling it a culture war. It is a class war.
They use culture war to divide you all so they can operate freely. You're worried about a gay person, a trans person while these Epstein Class elites are robbing you all BLIND.
