I take care of my elderly Mom currently, she is still on her own so I just stop by after work and on weekends and field endless talks and texts lol.
I worry if she passes the point of me being able to take care of her that she will end up with some monster human like this. One of the reasons I’m working so hard and being so aggressive with my investment strategy is that I can maybe retire by the time my Mom needs me full time.
Let me explain why I think Freddy resonates.
Lots of Europeans visit the USA as tourists. They visit New York City, or Washington DC, or Hollywood, or Las Vegas, and if they visit natural beauty too, they go to really crowded places like the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone.
So while they see our cultural and natural icons, they are mostly in blue cities and they therefore also see the decline, the homeless, the drugs, the dirt and the rude, rude Americans.
But Freddy is not doing that. Freddy is driving, and he’s doing it through the heartland, where people are kind and polite, the skies are wide open, and the bounty of Buc-ees and Bass Pro Shops are overwhelming.
Freddy is not seeing fentanyl and decline.
He is seeing the real, hopeful, patriotic, kind America that European tourists rarely traverse.
And he loves it.
That’s why Freddy is a phenomenon.
I can’t believe I’m still up, full disclosure I did take a power nap but man what a busy week. I have a very busy weekend too and am going to be unhappy when my alarm starts going off in the AM at 6:30. I have always been very patriotic but man this week especially so proud to be American! @SpaceX@Tesla@elonmusk@POTUS Happy Birthday America 🇺🇸 and congratulations to Elon Musk and all of his employees, investors, and fans!
What a time to be alive!!!!
♥️
Notice how, unlike the NBA, all of the Team USA soccer players have their hands over their hearts for the national anthem!
This isn’t about black or white.
This is about the NBA being full of ungrateful bitches who hate the country!
Elon Musk: There are no lords and peasants at Tesla. Everyone eats at the same table.
“I actually know the people on the line, because I worked on the line, I walked the line, I slept in the factory, and I worked beside them. So, I'm no stranger to them.
There are many people at Tesla who have gone from working on the line to being in senior management. There are no lords and peasants. Everyone eats at the same table. Everyone parks in the same parking lot.
At GM, there's a special elevator only for senior executives. We have no such thing at Tesla.
We give everyone stock options. Many people who are just working the line, who didn't even know what stocks were, we've made them millionaires.
And I just want to say that I'm incredibly appreciative of those who build the cars, and they know it.”

A man who worked at SpaceX for 10 years moved to the US from Mexico in 2015 and took a welding contract at SpaceX for $28 an hour. He's now a supervisor.
He received $10,000 in stock plus payroll deductions to buy more, and he did exactly that. Despite achieving the American Dream, he says he isn't going to stop.
He's one of 4,400 SpaceX employees who became overnight millionaires with the IPO.

Too late.
Anyone who calls for the president to be assassinated should not be a public employee getting paid with our tax dollars.
