@r0ck3t23 I’m curious why he hasn’t incorporated solar panels into his vehicles. Seems like a great way to extend the range and charge the battery. Also on a semi the entire roof of the trailer could contain a bank of solar panels. That would be a game changer for EVs.

[Thomas Sowell Quotes @ThomasSowell]

Milton Friedman: “Very few of us believe we’re getting our money’s worth for the 40% of our income that’s used to support state, local, and federal governments. Yet that percentage keeps growing.”

Elon Musk just put a price tag on obedience. It costs $200,000.

Musk: “You don’t need college to learn stuff. Everything is available basically for free. You can learn anything you want for free.”

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every framework ever written. Free on any screen in any country right now. The entire knowledge monopoly collapsed in a decade. Nobody updated the price tag.

Musk: “Colleges are basically for fun and to prove you can do your chores. But they’re not for learning.”

Strip the ivy and the branding. What’s underneath is a four-year obedience trial. Can this person follow instructions on a schedule without asking why.

Musk: “There is a value that colleges have, which is seeing whether somebody can work hard at something, including a bunch of annoying homework assignments, and still do their homework assignments.”

That is the entire six-figure value proposition. Not what you know. Not what you can build. Whether you can be managed. The establishment doesn’t need you educated. It needs you domesticated.

Musk: “If you’re trying to do something exceptional, you must have evidence of exceptional ability. I don’t consider going to college evidence of exceptional ability.”

The system doesn’t produce exceptional. It produces manageable. It takes the most creative years of your life and teaches you to wait for instructions. That is not education. That is containment.

Musk: “Gates is a pretty smart guy, he dropped out. Jobs is pretty smart, he dropped out. Larry Ellison, smart guy, he dropped out.”

They didn’t leave because they couldn’t keep up. They left because the ceiling was underground.

8 billion people now carry the same library in their pocket. The one these institutions charged a lifetime of debt to access.

The only product the university still sells is the belief that you need one.

Hillary Clinton visited an elementary school in New York to talk to the kids about the world. After her talk she asked if there were any questions?

One little boy puts up his hand. He says his name is.
"Kenneth." "And what is your question, Kenneth?" she asks.

"I have three questions," he says. "First -- what happened in Benghazi? "Second -- why did you run for president if you are not even capable of handling two e-mail accounts? "And, third -- what happened to the missing six billion dollars while you were Secretary of State?"

Just then the bell rings for recess. Hillary tells the kids that they will continue after recess.

When they resume Hillary says, "Okay, where were we? Oh, that's right, question time. Who has a question?" A different boy -- little Johnny -- puts his hand up.

"And what is your question, Johnny?" she asks.

"I have five questions," he says.
"First -- what happened in Benghazi?
"Second -- why did you run for president if you are not capable of handling two e-mail accounts? "Third -- what happened to the missing six billion dollars while you were Secretary of State?
"Fourth -- why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early?
"And, fifth -- where the hell is Kenneth?"

Elon Musk:”You get taxed on what you earn, you get taxed on what you buy, and you get taxed on what you own. And what does it get spent on? A bunch of stuff you don’t even agree with.

That’s why we need to reduce the size of government, spend less money and let the people keep a lot more of their hard-earned money.”

@Eimai_daskalos Great movie.

It is OUR money!!

Thank you Mr Secretary
Concerning Social Security payments, my contributions were made for over 40 years on every salary I received. Those jobs may not have always been the work I wanted to be doing at the time, BUT I always had a job. The Social Security check is now (or soon will be) referred to as a "Federal Benefit Payment?" I'll be part of the one percent to forward this.
I am forwarding it because it touches a nerve in me, and I hope it will in you. Please keep passing it on until everyone in our country has read it. The government is now referring to our Social Security checks as a "Federal Benefit Payment." This isn't a benefit. It is our money paid out of our earned income! Not only did we all contribute to Social Security but our employers did too. It totaled 15% of our income before taxes.
Congress took our money and used it elsewhere. They forgot (oh yes, they knew) that it was OUR money they were taking. They didn't have a referendum to ask us if we wanted to lend the money to them. And they didn't pay interest on the debt they assumed. And recently they've told us that the money won't support us for very much longer. And now, to add insult to injury, they're calling it a "benefit", as if we never worked to earn every penny of it.
Just because they borrowed the money doesn't mean that our investments were a charity!
Let's take a stand. We have earned our right to Social Security and Medicare. Demand that our legislators bring some sense into our government.
Find a way to keep Social Security and Medicare going for the sake of that 92% of our population who need it. Then call it what it is: Our Earned Retirement Income.

Please, for the sake of our country, share this message. It's important!!!

@joeroganhq The event 8.5.

Joe Rogans attempt at tying a neck tie 10.0. I think that was a first for Joe.

[L. Fortunato @LFortunato1]

I think this is the first time Joe Rogan has tied a tie. 🤣

@Barkley_Tap Steve Young is way too high. At best he is tier 6. It’s hard to rank players who are still playing. They could improve or hurt their ranking. Example Russell Wilson.

[L. Fortunato @LFortunato1]

@TheStandard412 Should he, absolutely. Will he, we’ll see.

Islam has a problem with gays, Jews, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, women, non-Muslims, atheists and apostates, but if I have a problem with Islam, I'm the bigot?

Can you see how ridiculous it is?

[L. Fortunato @LFortunato1]

@MarkKaboly Makes sense. Fautanu played LT and McCormick played LG in college. And they have one year playing together so keeping them together is a good thing.

[L. Fortunato @LFortunato1]

@ThePoniExpress That’s reassuring to the rest of us. Anything you oppose turns out great and anything you approve turns out to be crap. Like your Kenny Pickett is the next Montana prediction.

@Steelersdepot Thank God Florio said that instead of someone who knows what they are talking about or I might be concerned.

@WallStreetMav Let them collapse and rebuild them with new leadership and a clear mission.

@AnnCoulter How come they didn’t go out of business during the Biden presidency when fuel prices were higher?

[L. Fortunato @LFortunato1]

@TaraBull A bailout only prolongs the inevitable. Blocking the merger with JetBlue caused this outcome. The absurdity that a combined company equal to 9% of the industry was somehow a threat was absurd.
