Inflation is a tax. We are not governed by serious people.

Jeff Bezos on NYC spending:

"If we ran Amazon the way New York City runs their school system, packages would take 6 weeks to arrive, we would charge you a $100 delivery fee and when the package did finally arrive, it would have the wrong item in it."

We should federally tax Tokens at the Provider level.

Not a lot. Less than 50c per million tokens.

It will accomplish 4 things (at least )

1. It will push the big AI players to optimize tokenization, caching , routing and localization

Which will

2. Reduce energy usage. Saving them in energy costs more than what they paid in tax and reducing strain created by the growth in energy consumption

Which will

3. Generate maybe 10 billion dollars a year to start, but over the next ten years could grow 30x to 100x

Which will

4. Create a source of funding to pay down the federal debt or deploy, in response to the things AI brings that we don’t expect or don’t like

At some point the models will pass it on to customers. Of course. That’s ok. Customers will have the ability to choose between providers. Or to do everything using open source models locally.

Thoughts ?

Joe Biden won 25 states in the 2020 presidential election.

30 states are being sued by DOJ over voter rolls.

All 25 states Biden won in 2020 have refused to comply with DOJ request to share voter rolls and ensure compliance with federal law.

Every state Biden won in 2020 is being sued.

A letter signed by more than 250 journalists, including the Society of Professional Journalists, the National Association of Black Journalists, Dan Rather, Sam Donaldson, and Ann Curry, reads that those who attended tonight should "forcefully demonstrate
opposition to President Trump’s efforts to trample freedom of the press."

They also said the White House Correspondents Association should not "normalize [Trump's] behavior but instead fight back against any officeholder who has waged systematic war" against journalists.

The rhetoric in this document likely to come under scrutiny given that it received extensive media coverage.

I’ve been vocal in my criticism of Kash Patel, but this SPLC indictment is the first glimmer of hope that the FBI is seriously addressing the threat of organized left-wing criminality, violence, and terrorism. More of this needed.

JB Pritzker set up a secret shell company to double-pay his loyalists on top of their government salaries then pledged transparency.

Illinois asked for the records. He missed both deadlines.

Why is a billionaire governor hiding who he's paying and for what purpose?

🚨 HOLY CRAP. James O’Keefe went undercover as a Homeless Man and has ON CAMERA the Homeless Population being paid CASH for Ballots

- James O’Keefe’s team posed as homeless on LA’s Skid Row and recorded 28 separate instances of paid petitioners handing out cash ($2–$10 per signature), cigarettes, and marijuana in direct exchange for signing voter registration forms and election petitions — a clear state and federal felony.

- Petition circulators openly admitted they are paid per signature and can earn $1,000+ in a single day; one bragged, “$7 a signature, $5 a signature, $10 a signature.”

- Homeless individuals were repeatedly told to use fake addresses (“You can just put Pinocchio Lane” / “Oh, you can just fake an address”) and many had zero understanding of what they were signing.

- Petitions included radical measures funded by Uber, Delta, United Airlines, and the American Hotel & Lodging Association — such as a 5% “one-time tax on billionaires for healthcare” and overturning LA’s $30 minimum wage for hotel/airline workers.

- Taxpayer-funded Weingart Center (CEO previously earned $432,000) employees actively directed homeless residents to the bribe-paying petitioners and coached plausible deniability: “See they say ignorance is no excuse for the law. But a lot of times, I have to say ‘I didn’t know, I had no idea.’”

- The activity violates 52 U.S. Code §10307 (federal) and California Election Code §18603 (state); identical crimes led to arrests on Skid Row in 2016 and felony charges in 2019 — yet LAPD officers on scene shrugged it off as “a civil lawsuit.”

This is documented proof of widespread election fraud in California!

2003: MSNBC host Joe Scarborough worries California may start issuing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.

“By giving these criminals the most accepted form of identification in America, the California Democrats buy votes for themselves.”

“This plan seems to me to legitimize illegal immigration once and for all. And it’s dangerous.”

“They’re breaking the law. It’s that simple. If you break the law, you shouldn’t get a driver’s license. You shouldn’t be in our country.”

“Many of Gavin Newsom’s positions read as if they were reverse-engineered from Republican attack ads.

California has spent billions offering Medicaid to undocumented immigrants, and millions more on providing transgender surgeries for prisoners – some of them on death row.”
