I live around the corner broski. I’m asking if the ROI is there. Every aspect of govt needs questioned. How many years will it take to generate $34 million in taxes paid to OP based off the flagship? Seems like a legit question. I suspect that they will need to renovate and repair before OP sees $34 million in taxes generated.
Agreed. Been plenty of times with the kids. I’m just trying to understand what ROI taxpayers will get propping up a $34 million market for tables to sell goods, even over 10 years. Thompson park is already there. Do the vendors even touch that number in sales? Seems a bit off - maybe I’m missing another use case for the structure. I’m sure visitors go eat and spend more than just the market proper.
Maybe: government investing in infrastructure so that people spend more, thus attracting more sales tax for their spending coffers.
@DavidSacks@christopherrufo AI will be eventually used to enslaved humans. We’re building systems that will be smarter than humans…..and some govts are already using it for people control.
@thechrisbuskirk I’ve got 25 years in IT. Laid off. Now the pool of job seekers is so large, employers can pay less bc IT workers are starving for work.

No we can’t. We start every year in the red just from of interest on debt and mandatory spending - that’s before discretionary spending is approved. We borrow trillions annually (sell interest-backed treasury securities). We’re literally enslaving our children. This path is unsustainable.
@kmbc Why the fuck are we doing this? Federal debt is already forcing inflation higher. The Fed keeps buying treasury securities and printing money out of thin air. We need 1776 part 2. Nationalize the currency, backed by gold and silver.
The SS administration itself has already admitted it will become insolvent by 2032. That’s 6 years away.
Also - I had no choice in being a part of the SS agreement. I did not make that decision as a legal adult. That was done on my behalf by my parents before I could even formulate thoughts. As an adult, I don’t want to be paying in to it. Is that moral to enslave babies to a life of caring for others through theft of their labored earnings?
@JordanSchachtel@ewarren It won’t. Businesses are realizing the cost of AI services and pulling back already. Construction companies and Nvidia are the bread winners so far.
@X22Report The US Mint / treasury should be auditing annually as-is per US code. Why is everyone screaming “audit Fort Knox” when law dictates it should already be done year after year?
