@Dearme2_ This is easy to say if you have a huge cocktail, tall good looks, money.. plenty of ugly short guys need love and affection, too. We'd have less shooters if they were getting laid.
Elon Musk 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.
@TaraBull So class warfare.. kinda like if you are on EBT you shouldn't get steak and candy or soda.. I like it.. your idea is to keep the poors out of your spaces.. great idea.
@johnfoxart You won't know how high you can climb unless you find the bottom? You can't pick up a mountain. But you can pick up pebbles. Keep at it and you will find a mountain behind you.
@DavidFischer It was always expensive.. and basically was a fancy version of the spinning light game.. if you didn't hit the flashing light, just so..break out another dollar.. shit. Only saving grace was Don Bluths animation.
To my American friends,
I want to speak from the heart, because this moment truly moved me as a Japanese citizen.
When President Trump made that Pearl Harbor joke, it wasn’t just humor to us. It felt like a weight I’d carried my whole life was suddenly lifted. My chest tightened, and honestly, tears came close.
For 80 long years, we Japanese have lived under a heavy shadow — the constant expectation to apologize, to reflect, to stay in “guilt mode.” Even though we’re the closest of allies, that old wound never fully healed. We felt bound by the past, by the Constitution America helped write for us, always a little smaller, always needing to prove we were sorry enough.
But in that single joke, Trump did something powerful. He turned a painful history into a shared laugh between equals. It was like he was saying:
“Hey, it was a long time ago. We’re good. Let’s move forward — as brothers.”
No more endless atonement. No more living in the shadow of being the “former enemy.” The curse broke. Japan feels free to stand tall again.
Right now, cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully all across Japan. 🌸
This spring, the sakura feels like a perfect symbol — a fresh beginning. Not two nations stuck in old roles, but true equals, proud brothers, shoulder to shoulder, ready to build the future together.
To the American people:
We don’t want to be subordinates forever. We want to be your real partners — strong, proud, and loyal. The kind of allies who ride or die together.
Thank you, Mr. President.
Thank you, America.
The strongest alliance in the world is rising again — as equals, as brothers, forever.

@alt_w_v_g Here is the common sense.. your dishwasher is 5 parts easily removed. You could have found the part on eBay for under $100. You and your analyst replaced the part in 1 hour with YouTube videos.. saved 3k and reading a contract.
