@ESPNDeportes Two things can be true at once… Messi deserved a yellow and still is one of the best all time players… even if he gets the princess treatment/kid gloves from the refs.
@michaelmalice@JDVance@GavinNewsom No offense to anyone who likes Chase but Chase is a “woke libertarian…” that leans left and terrible candidate imo even though we probably agree on 50-60% of issues and maybe up to 80% policy prescriptions.
@LeadingReport In what world is this poll by any means accurate? Kamala Harris doesn’t have two brain cells to rub together… JD would wipe the floor with Kamala in any election
@WestsideLAGuy Account for graduation rates as well as those who actually practice law after graduating and look at the numbers again, pretty sure the guy who makes my cortado every morning has a law degree.
@ClayTravis Settlements are often approved just to get nuisance suits to go away… if an admission of guilt was offered with the settlement then that’s another story.
Elon Musk just used a joke to perform an autopsy on the American economy.
Two economists go for a hike. They find a pile of shit. One pays the other $100 to eat it.
They keep walking. Find another pile. The second economist pays $100 back to eat that one.
They stop. Neither man gained a dollar. Both ate shit for nothing.
But on paper they just generated $200 in GDP.
Musk: “That basically would count as a job. This is to illustrate the absurdity of economics.”
That is not a punchline. That is the operating system of the federal government.
Every time a politician celebrates “record job creation” this is what they are describing. Not output. Not value. Not progress. Motion.
The entire bureaucratic machine exists to manufacture friction and then invoice for it.
Compliance layers built to justify the next compliance layer. Oversight committees that produce nothing but the need for more oversight. Consulting firms hired to audit the work of other consulting firms.
Trillions circulating through systems that have never produced a single thing you can hold in your hands. But the GDP number ticks up. So everyone applauds.
The shit gets eaten. The scoreboard moves. Nobody asks what actually got built.
This is why Washington treats AI like a five alarm fire.
AI does not play the friction game. It does not form a committee. It does not schedule a review. It does not file 400 pages of paperwork no one will ever read.
It just solves the problem.
And that is the one thing the machine cannot survive.
The government does not tax results. It taxes the process. The longer the process, the deeper the cut.
AI compresses a ten day workflow into seconds. There is nothing left to bill. Nothing left to tax. Nothing left to skim.
So they will spend the next decade warning you that AI threatens the economy.
What they will never say is what it actually threatens.
The illusion that activity equals progress.
The $200 economy where both men ate shit and called it a job.
The machines are not coming for your purpose.
They are coming to prove that half the economy never had one.
If Obama Biden or Harris, faced 3 assassination attempts while left wielded political power, our 1st + 2nd amendment rights would be trampled shattered and thrown away like our freedoms during Covid. Jan 6th was pre-text for a gun grab that never materialized bc guns weren’t used
@Shawn_Farash Point Matt made was largely if you have 2 sides of a court and you’re given the option to dunk on the right or dunk on the left… the Reagan approach was don’t dunk on the right when you can dunk on the left… that being said Matt largely used that to avoid criticism on CO and TC
@Briannuesi20X@wcdispatch What’s more concerning is the math… if you have $29.9million+ in liabilities… shouldn’t everyone know who you owe $29.9million+ to. If so they’ve been bought and paid for… textbook money laundering otherwise
