This is how politicians and their families launder money. Nobody wants a book from Dr Biden. But some commie NGO that got taxpayer money from the admin can’t pay the kickback with a check. So they buy 100K books and burn em. The one-time bulk buy charts it for a week, then 💨
Homeless, yachtless Elon Musk, who actually builds rockets, EVs, and neural tech trying to benefit humanity, should apparently cough up $50 billion in taxes on unrealized gains.
Meanwhile, Laurene Powell Jobs ($15B inherited), Nancy Walton ($20B inherited), and MacKenzie Scott ($40B divorce) never built shit, never risked shit, and never shipped a single product that changed the world.
But they get the praise and zero scrutiny. Because they have the right politics.
(BTW ~25% of Walmart employees are on government benefits.)
NAILED IT: Jeff Bezos: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year pays more than $12K a year in taxes. Does that really make sense?”
“So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes? At all!”
“Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75K a year paying more than $1K a month in taxes?”
“That’s $1K a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.”
“And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%.”
“We can find 3%. So we don’t have... it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that. And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.”
“We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology. It really makes no sense.”
Exactly!
If you feel stuck, add structure to your days. Map out your actions for an entire day in 30 minute increments. It doesn’t have to be the “right” stuff. It just needs to be something. Then stick to it for a full day. You’ll create momentum. You'll feel a sense of agency. It works.
@daniel_dhawan love Rork. Is there a way to take projects that were built in Rork and start using Rork Max on them? It’s completely discouraging to spend time building in Rork only for Rork Max to come out and for you to have to start over completely. Any way to migrate? @rork
I've been reading most books on Kindle for 15 years. Now my digital assistant has access to all 11,328 highlights across 15 years and hundreds of books. This is what I mean when I talk about giving AI the right tools. "Give me everything I've highlighted about the church growth movement from David Wells."
dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it
@dabit3@DevinAI I have through Lenny’s newsletter. It keeps improving. They were smart to give so many credits. Allows me to space out my trial - and, see the progress.
