Congratulations to @elonmusk and the SpaceX team. You did what countless people said was impossible, and you did it time and time again.
Today is your day. You deserve this. May it be a glorious one.
SPENDING is the REAL TAX.
Regardless of corporate tax rates, capital gains rates, income tax rates, and tariffs,
When the government spends money, someone will pay for it;
if not through today’s taxes, then through inflation and tomorrow’s taxes to service the debt.
Trump correctly pointed out that our nation was its richest in the 1880s and 1890s, but he is incorrect to attribute that wealth to tariffs. The reason we were so rich back then is that government was so tiny that we could afford to pay for it with tariffs. Back then, total federal spending was only about 2% of GDP. Today it’s over 23%.
I'm with the president: let's eliminate 90% of the Federal Government, so we could pay for what's left with tariffs. Let's also eliminate the the Federal Reserve and go back to a gold standard, just like the 1890s. Let's get rid of income and Social Security taxes. Let's eliminate all the government departments created since 1890, like Commerce, Labor, Health, Education, Housing, Transportation, Energy, and Education.
Let's get rid of the government agencies that didn't exist back then, like the SEC, FDIC, NCUA, CFTC, CFPB, FCC, EPA, OSHA, PBGC, FBI, CIA, TSA, and FEMA. If we repeal Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, ACA, Unemployment Insurance, SNAP, Welfare, Student loans, FHA/VA loans, SBA programs, and farm supports, to name a few.
We should also repeal almost every federal law that has been passed since 1900. If we do all of that, then we can have tariffs and be rich again like we were in the 1880s and 1890s.
@MarioNawfal A trump 3-D chess move would be nominating Wash as the fed chair only if criminal investigation is open. If closed or no findings, trump pivots to alternate nomination
In a world of infinite money printing and finite attention, survival looks like:
• owning scarce assets
• reducing counterparty risk
• building skills that compound
• thinking long-term while others react short-term
When information goes exponential, narratives collapse. Fraud and conspiracies stop being theories and start being data. The challenge now isn’t awareness—it’s learning how to move, build, and stay ahead inside a system that’s finally visible.
@PeterDiamandis@stephanlivera Bitcoin doesn’t equalize wealth — it equalizes rules. Same protocol, same settlement, no special lanes. But you only get that if you actually use Bitcoin, not a custodian.
I, for one, applaud the brilliance of the Somali entrepreneurs who realized running a daycare for children is much more profitable without the daycare or the children
