I really like this Econ 101 cosplaying campaign ads strategy. Great way to communicate.
I think I like the policy too. Definitely some tradeoffs and specifics needed, but seems like a better set of tradeoffs.
When we Americans talk about Canada it would be only right and correct to note that we have fought and died with them in a couple of World Wars and their valor is every bit as legendary as our own. Good luck finding a better friend.
@TomBilyeu Great advice Tom!
Networking can feel like a chore - but meeting people should be fun.
Learning should be fun.
Meeting people is a fun was to learn - helpful reframe!
Combining omega-3s, vitamin D, and regular exercise may reduce biological aging far beyond the impacts of these interventions in isolation, a new study indicates.
Specifically, supplementing with omega-3s alone reduced biological age on several next-generation epigenetic clocks during the 3-year study. It also slowed the pace of biological aging.
Omega-3s combined with vitamin D or exercise had an even greater benefit on phenotypic age when compared to any singe intervention. The biggest benefit for phenotypic age—a nearly 4-month reduction—was observed when omega-3s, vitamin D, and exercise were combined.
This aligns with what we know about the individual effects of these interventions. Having a low omega-3 index is more strongly associated with all-cause mortality than smoking. Vitamin D plays a critical role in modulating several mechanisms associated with the "hallmarks of aging." Being sedentary is one of the strongest predictors of an early death—and exercise is one of the most powerful ways to delay it.
These results suggest that while omega-3s have powerful anti-aging effects, they also enhance the benefits of supplementing with vitamin D and engaging in regular exercise. There is a synergy among healthy lifestyle habits.

I think we can all agree on a few things:
We have $36 trillion of national debt growing at a rapid rate, that must be refinanced and issued at a materially higher interest rate as our bonds come due and as new funds are needed.
We had a $1.8 trillion deficit in fiscal 2024.
There is an enormous amount of fraud, waste, and inappropriate spending in our government budget.
It is illegal and/or otherwise should not be permitted for our government to fund activities that it cannot do directly through NGOs and other non-profits.
@elonmusk has a proven ability to takeover dysfunctional organizations and turn them into highly functioning ones while massively reducing wasteful overhead and other spending. See Twitter.
@realDonaldTrump won the election with a mandate for eliminating wasteful government spending and ending regulations that interfere with our country’s progress.
President Trump announced during his campaign that Elon would be appointed to oversee @DOGE. In other words, the American people voted for and signed up for DOGE and Elon as its leader.
We are extremely fortunate to have one of our greatest business leaders and entrepreneurs devote a considerable amount of his limited time for free to help our country.
We are extremely fortunate that some of our most talented young people have signed on to help DOGE succeed.
DOGE is just getting started and has already identified a massive amount of waste and likely fraud, and has begun cutting a material amount of costs.
It is axiomatic that those who are beneficiaries of waste, fraud and unnecessary government spending will be the most threatened by the cuts that DOGE is making in these programs. These beneficiaries of waste and fraud are also extremely worried about the reputational, legal and potential criminal risk they will suffer by being exposed by DOGE.
The beneficiaries of government waste, fraud and inappropriate spending will protest loudly and state false reasons for why DOGE must be stopped because their careers and livelihoods are threatened and put at risk by DOGE’s success. I have seen this movie many times before, but in the corporate world.
The president has stated clearly that he is overseeing DOGE’s activities and that no important decisions will be made without his consent.
Our legal system will ensure that no laws are broken as DOGE executes on its important mission.
Other efforts over the last many decades to eliminate government waste and fraud have totally failed.
DOGE is our best hope for fixing our fundamentally flawed and highly ineffective bureaucratic system for running our country.
Elon and Trump will face enormous pressure and pushback from those who benefit from the current corrupt system.
All Americans must therefore make their voices heard loud and clear about how much they support DOGE, Elon and our president’s efforts to help our country. We cannot let DOGE fail as our country is rapidly on the path to insolvency.
Let’s not let our country down. Let’s do our part in making sure our Congressmen and Senators know that we are 100% behind the president, Elon and DOGE.
It’s the least we can do.
