The best thing Democrats can do after their overwhelming midterm victory is have the discipline not to lash out and retaliate. Show restraint. Do absolutely nothing for two years and let the GOP keep digging its own grave. 2028 will look the same.
The silent majority's vote has been overwhelming the last two cycles. They refuse to be pushed into far-left radical idiocracy, and they refuse to let the far right believe it has unlimited power to do as it pleases.
The GOP took immigration to the extreme and let ICE agents run around the country harassing and assaulting people, while the administration denied it until it couldn't possibly lie any longer.
They ran on putting America first and scaling back our involvement overseas. Instead, they entered a conflict with Iran with seemingly no plan, led by Hegseth, who had no business even being considered for the job he's in.
AI could have been the moment wealth flowed through every class in America. Instead it's been completely reversed by a very real energy crisis and rampant inflation that everyone wants to pretend isn't a big deal. A year ago, rates were expected to be cut. Now there's truly no telling how high they'll rise.
And what nobody talks about enough is the relationships with global partners we've destroyed. The power dynamic America dominated for decades is over. Our closest allies are distancing themselves as far from us as they can and strengthening ties elsewhere. That's opened the door for Eastern powers to disrupt, and potentially suffocate, the West for the long term.,
You have to understand the current situation of the parent company to understand the investment. It’s not a takeover initiative like Twitter…. In his biography, @WalterIsaacson described a friendly relationship between Elon and the Ellison family. After the capital raise to capture HBO, I’m sure they’re relieved with the investment. Someone to trust with ownership shares
And now you can preorder the NOMAD LETTERS (out December 1!): https://t.co/EN1kL7bGcz
For years these letters have circulated (at first, unofficially) among investors, acquiring a devoted readership. We wanted to give them a permanent home in print.
Nick and his partner Qais Zakaria’s record is extraordinary. The letters are the account of how they got there, featuring everything from studying Amazon and Costco (Nomad’s defining investments)—to visiting cement plants in Zimbabwe, and beyond.
They’re candid about their mistakes and curious about the forces that shape investors’ behavior: incentives, psychology, and the wisdom (or foolishness!) of the crowd.
Since closing the fund, they’ve devoted their time to philanthropy, a journey Nick recounts in the lovely foreword he wrote for this edition.
I’m thrilled to continue adding to the investing corner of our catalogue, and I can’t think of a better work to follow Poor Charlie’s Almanack. ❣️
OpenAI missed the mark on Dots.
The people who need a dedicated team of AI specialists most are everyday users without the technical skillset to turn their thoughts into projects. Those are the users OpenAI locked out on the lower tiers.
I'm a non-technical accounting student and dad. My Grok Bot team tracks my assignments, triages my email, builds my finance dashboards, and even designs small games and STEM activities for my son.
That alone prompts me to spend extra on xAI and leave behind what I’ve done with Codex and ChatGPT.
@soumyathekkks I've had this on the shelf for nearly a year before cracking it open a few days ago. It's an incredible complement to our daily AI evolution experience.
