Federal Budget, Fiscal Year 2025
Revenue:
$5.235 trillion
Spending:
$7.010 trillion
Deficit:
$1.775 trillion short
Even if you could somehow sell every stock Elon Musk owns and raise $1 trillion, we would still have a $775 billion budget deficit! And then what are you going to do the year after that, after you’ve spent all his money?
On top of that, it’s not actually possible to sell all his stocks and raise $1 trillion. The stocks would tank if he was forced to sell, and be worth far less. He doesn’t actually have the ability to pull a trillion dollars out of the bank.
All of these politicians are pointing the finger at Musk to try and blame him for their budgetary failures. The reality is these legislators have fucked up so badly that every cent Elon Musk has can’t plug the hole in the budget. The deficits that we have every single year.
And most Americans are so stupid that they’ll actually believe these politicians instead of voting them out.
Anthropic's Fable 5 safety filter did not work.
It blocked things that were completely vanilla, seemingly at random.
Then, it could be easily bypassed, which I ended up doing just to get the vanilla things working.
Imagine being one of the world's top tech companies, screaming about safety, and then releasing a completely broken safety mechanism.
Does a hypercompetent tech company that for years has been shouting from the rooftops about safety and national security release a completely incompetent safety mechanism?
Does it release a broken safety mechanism on this model after being warned by the U.S. government not to release the model, because it is unsafe?
Does that same company, when the U.S. government points out that the safety mechanism is broken, respond to publicly downplay the problem?
One would think that Anthropic would have dedicated a cracked team to get the safety mechanism working properly.
But apparently it didn't.
It is so bad and so dumb that it feels like it must have been on purpose.
I'm not saying it was on purpose.
But how can such a cracked company whose core identity is AI safety create such a broken solution -- and then play down how broken it is?
I am trying to understand.
4 months ago i booked 3 coaches for $7k to transport fans from downtown Boston to Eng v Ghana.
Contracts signed/ paid. 156 fans paid me, saving money on absurd train fare.
Now 10 DAYS before match, the coach firm said they had ‘capacity issues' & have asked for $4k extra. 😮
They might not be bad people, but their results are evil. A degree of bureaucracy is tolerable and necessary in a strong democracy—yet what the West now has is a hidden left-wing bureaucratic nightmare. Margaret Thatcher once said she would die for the right of communists to vote in free elections, but that now feels pointless.
What a day in Makerfield. The enthusiasm and support on the ground is possibly even stronger than in Great Yarmouth, it is quite remarkable. I did not expect it to be that level, to be honest.
250 locals at our branch meeting last night with standing room only. We barely even advertised it. Just to members because of limited space. Rebecca gave a great speech, went down so well.
Out meeting local campaign groups, community centres, pubs - support right across Makerfield. Simply amazing.
These people want their country back, and we are giving them a genuine democratic alternative.
Thousands and thousands of local patriots are going to take it.
Restore Britain is going to make history in Makerfield.
Nothing will shape your worldview as much as simply reading how humans from the past thought.
You realize very quickly that our time is a radical anomaly in human history.
In the United Kingdom, we’ve managed to achieve communism for 95% of the population.
If you have kids, unless you earn more than £80,000 gross, you have the same quality of life as those on benefits.
And the government managed it without a revolution.
Incredible really.
Comrade Elon understands the consequences. When the productive class is destroyed, wealth creation stops and everyone suffers.
This is why the bureaucratic machine must carefully manage how much we take from them. We cannot eat them all at once. We must tax, regulate, and gradually extract their surplus so the system does not collapse before we achieve full control.
The 5 year plan is perfect. ☭
Muslims all over Europe are freaking out after Sweden made a historic and courageous decision: it will no longer use the term “Islamophobia,” coined by the Muslim Brotherhood, because it is a politically manipulated concept aimed at silencing criticism of Islam.
Swedish Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard announced that her government will push the European Union and the United Nations to stop using this fraudulent term.
The concept of “Islamophobia” was deliberately designed to equate legitimate criticism of Islamic doctrine with racism. It was weaponized to shut down discussion about core Islamic texts containing commands to wage war, rape, and subjugate non-Muslims.
Sweden just recognized what millions of Europeans already know: criticizing a religion that openly calls for the murder and sexual enslavement of non-believers is not a phobia, but basic common sense and self-preservation.
This is a massive blow to the Islamist lobby across Europe.
Do you agree with Sweden’s decision?
