1,354 days ago (10/04/22), my business partner and I founded @JunkPunksX company with a mission to become a nationwide leader in junk removal services.
In January of this year, we completed our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) and subsequently launched our first franchised location (Orlando) in February.
With many more in the pipeline, we are excited to continue expanding across the US and to provide endless opportunities to exceptional, hard working individuals.
38th month update:
-5 consecutive 100%+ YoY rev quarters
-5 location offices, 1 HQ/Call Center
-Over 3.9k total 5-stars
-4.7k+ completed jobs this year
-Targeting 10m/yr run rate by end H1 2026
Exciting year ahead
Your inability to understand capitalism as a sitting Senator is disappointing. You fail to understand the very simple difference of net worth and liquidable cash. Most “ultra-millionaire’s” (like yourself, Elizabeth) have a majority of wealth in stocks or other assets.
Forcing asset sales could threaten the asset values for everyone, and concurrently force Founders (that are responsible for America today) to own less and less of their own creations/companies?
Unlike yourself, @elonmusk paid over 11B in 2021 in state & federal taxes. Every payroll, and product bought or sold is taxed, continuing to fund and feed the economy.
Perhaps if you spent more time attempting to fix the US debt spiral, you wouldn’t have to spend that time tweeting and trying to pass laws to take even more from the people.
i absolutely love "pure" startups like midjourney
> took zero outside money
> fully bootstrapped
> profitable since basically week one
> doing around $500m a year
> with a team of like 150 people.
which means when the CEO david holz decides he wants to build a sci-fi full-body scanner...
one that lowers you into a pool of water, maps your insides with MRI-level detail at ~100x the speed of an MRI, with no radiation and no giant magnet, there's nobody he has to convince.
he just builds it.
because there's no board or VC asking how a medical spa fits the image-gen roadmap or what the TAM looks like.
founder control is the cheat code.
it's what lets someone make the cool, risky, slightly absurd bet everyone else is too scared to even propose.
more companies like this please.
Imagine spending 15 years of your life studying to become a Surgeon, just to have your job swiped by medical JARVIS.
That example is applicable for many occupations. The rate of advancement is exponentially increasing and soon will disrupt every industry in some way.
I think we eventually enter a transitional period where humans utilize AI agents & tools, but eventually… an argument is made to fully replace human oversight.
I think the largest disruption and focus now should be reforming the education system accordingly. This revolution allows people to spend the finite time they have in life, on creating rather than fulfilling services.
Eventually super intelligence can research and study advancements more effectively than humans. At this point.. UBI likely becomes a necessity and the wealth gap is larger than ever and potentially irreparable. However, quality of life for all will still be better than ever and only continue to improve.

@Spartyfan82@RyanSaavedra@mcuban because you can paint a picture of a tree 50 different ways. the goal is to be taxed as little as possible, hence showing 5% margins. most PBMs are owned by conglomerates, allowing for profit allocation throughout the companies
“There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.” -JFK
Risk is the possibility of loss, harm, or an undesirable outcome resulting from a particular action, decision, or event.
Calculated risk is taking action that carries potential downsides — but only after assessing, understanding, and accepting them.
Make calculated risks.

A grocery store today, will soon run like a computer.
A fast food restaurant today, will soon run like a computer.
The roads today, will soon run like a computer.
As scary as it sounds, it should really create optimism for our future. AI will replace millions of jobs (most undesirable) & create new, more desirable opportunities and economies.
People will have more time for travel, entertainment, friends & family, etc.
Lastly, perhaps we do live in a simulation.
There is a strong correlation between gamers (or ex-gamers) and critical thinking.
Many leaders credit their leadership skills from experience playing a sport. Gaming is similar- but for a different skill set.
For competitive, or strategic gamers.. it’s essentially extreme brain training. You enter a flow state and become hyper focused to a task or game at hand. As you play these games or levels, you start to ask questions and you learn to become creative. All while simultaneously using your brain to control the outcome of the game on a screen with your hands.
Many of the world’s greatest engineers and developers have a gaming background. I’m not saying gaming is the best usage of time, but it certainly helps develop valuable skillsets.
