Private Equity killed my Cat

private equity roll ups are causing the destruction of American Society. Time to fight back

[Private Equity killed my Cat @TimeToEndSanta]

Almost 20 years ago my graduate thesis was that meaning in human life requires temporal transcendence
The Santa Book I am successfully avoiding through the distractions on X, 3 kids 3 businesses 70 employees and trying to stay healthy and fit on sub 6 hours/night sleep is an offshoot of that.

I expect it will contain many run on sentences and made up words when I finally finish it.

Santa’s Imbeddedness in American culture is to me a symptom of a superficial lack of understanding and connection with children, a failure of parenting, and a preference for appearance over substance that has taken over our culture.

Stories of Santa misadventures, disturbing anecdotes or personal experiences are welcome. Direct respond or DM.

I hope you enjoy the journey while I try and pole this together

Ro, you’re lying and you know it.

You compared a man’s net worth to a country’s GDP. A balance sheet to a year of output. You went to Yale. You learned the difference between a stock and annual output flow.

But being a politician and lawyer, you love to lie and gaslight the economic illiterates, it’s your entire business model.

You want a 5% tax on Elon to fund free trade school for every American.

Trade school costs $80B/yr, you can’t even fund a year.

Elon doesn’t have $55B in cash. It’s stock. You know this.

To pay, he sells roughly $70B of Tesla and SpaceX shares, and the sale itself gets taxed on top. SpaceX raised $75B at its IPO this morning at a $1.77 trillion valuation.

Imagine him selling that amount every year.

Ro isn’t taxing Elon. He’s taxing everyone who gas exposure to the market. Every pension fund and index fund on the planet gets wrecked. And given Ro, he’ll insider trade and short before the bill passes.

And for what? To rip capital from the best allocator alive and hand it to the most incompetent institution in human history. Elon turned PayPal gains into Tesla and SpaceX: 120,000 jobs, launch costs down 90%, two industries that didn’t exist, a $1.77 trillion company from nothing.

You’ve never built anything. You’ve never employed anyone. You’ve never created a dollar of value in your life. You collect a government salary and demand tribute from men who do what you can’t.

Your machine spends $7 trillion a year and still runs a $1.8 trillion deficit. It loses up to $521 billion a year to fraud. More than your entire tax raises. The Department of Education went from $34 billion in 2000 to $268 billion in 2024. 8x the money. Reading scores at multi-decade lows. Trade schools still unfunded.

You don’t lack money. You lack competence, and you want Elon to subsidize it.

You haven’t donated your wealth. You haven’t moved into government housing. Empty your accounts first, Ro. Then preach.

Elon’s options get taxed as ordinary income at the top rate when exercised. Over $500 billion in lifetime taxes, the largest tax stream from one human ever. You want $55 billion now in a way that craters the shares the $500 billion depends on. Your tax doesn’t raise money. It kills the companies, kills the jobs, kills the pensions, and torches a bigger check already in the mail.

You’re the monkey in the middle, Ro. You can’t build. You can’t allocate. You can’t even count. So you eat from everyone else’s pie and call it fairness.

I really thought being against raping kids would be the one thing we could all agree on

[ChurchillMaverick @ChurchillPath]

«Я вырос, ненавидя белых людей. Только белые учителя и тренеры в моей школе нравились мне, они были другими. Обычного же белого человека я не любил, скорее на подсознательном уровне.

Пока рос, я постоянно слышал об одном и том же, про рабство и то, что белые сделали с моим народом. Молодой и неразумный мозг впитывал это и казалось, что все белые нажились на рабстве. В своём районе ты видишь сплошные трудности, но никто не хочет брать ответственность, все винят белого человека.

Поэтому в такой обстановке ты просто начинаешь ненавидеть белых. А большинство белых американцев приехали уже после отмены рабства и не имели к нему никакого отношения.

За два с лишним века трансатлантической работорговли в США привезли всего около 450 тысяч рабов, а в Южную Америку 10 миллионов. Масштабы несопоставимы, 450 тысяч, это меньше населения Скоттсдейла. Америка не была пропитана рабством, это лишь часть её истории.

Добавлю, первый законный рабовладелец в американской истории, это был чёрный по имени Энтони Джонсон. Чернокожие тоже владели рабами, белых тоже линчевали, просто чернокожих больше. Но об этом вы никогда не услышите, потому что некоторые предпочитают сеять ненависть и ложь.»

Neil de Grasse Tyson is a horrible human being.

But he provides a useful service. If someone is a huge fan of his, I know that I can safely dismiss anything that person says. Quite the timesaver.

My only interaction with Tyson was when I was testifying in front of the Aldridge Commission in 2004, and he angrily challenged my claims that the private sector would lead the way in exploring the Moon and Mars. NdGT loudly stated that only government employees would ever go to space. Any role for the private sector other than as contractors for NASA or the DOD was just foolishness.

(Note that this was in March 2004. Charlie Walker flew to space as an employee of McDonnell Douglas in 1985, and Dennis Tito visited the ISS in 2001 as a paying tourist. Spaceship One would complete its first suborbital flight in June 2004.)

Over 4000 workers just became millionaires by owning the means of production and the socialists are pissed

[Private Equity killed my Cat @TimeToEndSanta]

@Andercot Neil Tyson (he doesn’t deserve the pretentious middle nonsense) is a complete douche and phony. Deserves to be ridiculed and rejected from modern discourse

[Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent @SecScottBessent]

Americans lose hundreds of billions of dollars to fraud each year. At @USTreasury, we follow the money, and we know financial institutions are often the first to see suspicious activity in real time. They need the tools to act quickly and share information that can help stop fraud before it spreads. Under @POTUS and @VP Vance’s leadership, we will continue targeting fraud wherever it occurs and protecting American taxpayers and consumers.

@Bulvarpress Guess that won’t be primarily used by.

@neiltyson This might be the dumbest tweet I’ve ever read. And that includes @greg16676935420 who’s doing it on purpose

@AdamParkhomenko The inside is quiet, sound system is amazing and you just zone out on self driving

Holy hell. Watch it.

BREAKING: Acting AG Todd Blanche just announced indictments for three individuals involved in a massive child smuggling ring. But the real bombshell is what he said next...

The DOJ has officially uncovered over 15,500 "super sponsor" cases.

Read that number again: 15,500.

Because of the Biden Administration's disastrous and broken border policies, thousands of innocent children were essentially handed over to criminal networks, traffickers, and abusers. They completely turned a blind eye while the worst of the worst exploited the system right in our own backyard.

Absolutely sickening. Where is the mainstream media on this?!

[ZUBY: @ZubyMusic]

Society collectively needs to stop making excuses for awful behaviour.

There are BILLIONS of people around the world who grew up in suboptimal conditions and they don't use it as an excuse to be a criminal or degenerate.

Tolerance of evil isn't a virtue.

@BoBbyPleWniaK I asked for a lot and got 1 share

[Private Equity killed my Cat @TimeToEndSanta]

@JasonAnthoknee @wholemars I got 1 also. Makes me think maybe it wasn’t a rug pull since they prioritized institutional investors and large accounts

[Gator Gar @gatorgar]

So like if it was 20 votes, I’d understand. There’s going to be a reasonable margin of error.

But it’s 18,000 votes, all for Spencer Pratt that have been rejected. That’s not an accident.

It’s treason.

Committed by the people who want to “defend democracy” whatever that means.

[TaraBull @TaraBull]

This absolute madman charging a monstrous “WORLD-ENDER” wave off Portugal. Bro’s got balls of solid steel.

Respect.
