You are smarter than this Ro. Imagine if Bernie had taxed @elonmusk 100% on his PayPal capital gains. We would have no @Tesla or @SpaceX - none of those jobs or GDP. Who do you think allocated the capital better for society? He will already pay $100 B + in taxes - more than any human ever. I hope he donates some to kids via @TrumpAccounts to make every kid a shareholder in 🇺🇸 & continues investing all his heart, soul & money for the benefit of America & all humanity! 🇺🇸🚀🤍
The best way to prevent fascism is to try and lock up your political opponents and then criminally pardon your allies, making it impossible to hold government officials accountable for alleged wrongdoing.
Elon Musk isn’t one man influencing government. He’s one man representing the millions who don’t have a voice because their elected representatives stopped listening to them.
From a person I respect greatly:
“Jared Kushner on All-In was a turning point for me, and I wouldn't be surprised if that was true for a lot of others. Suddenly we got to see in stark relief that this individual who had been so completely and mercilessly vilified by news organizations for years was actually a thoughtful, good person who had done incredible things for our country. MSM is a giant psyop.”
Hear, hear!

After 9/11, George Bush and Dick Cheney sent America’s sons and daughters - people my age - to die in the Middle East and racked up $7TN in debt for pointless wars that hurt this country. No-win wars that cost trillions, killed millions & made corrupt politicians billions. They passed the Patriot Act, violated the Constitution & weaponized the justice system. 20 years later later, the Taliban is still in charge in Afghanistan. 20 years later, it’s a hostile anti-American regime running Iraq. And now 20 years later, it’s Dick Cheney 2.0 trying to reclaim the GOP again. That’s the real choice we face in this primary: do you want to rack up trillions more in debt & send our sons and daughters to die fighting someone else’s war in places like Ukraine and the Middle East?
As a father, my obligation is to my family - period. And as the next President, my sole obligation will be to the American people - period. Now is our moment for choosing. We can choose the past. Or we can choose the future.
Jamie Dimon is one of the world's most respected business leaders. Politically he is a centrist. He is pro-business and pro-free enterprise, but also supportive of well-designed social programs and rational tax policies that can help the less fortunate. He is extremely smart, thoughtful, and pragmatic, and he knows how to bring opposing parties together. He is highly respected by the Right, the Left, and the Center.
Jamie is beloved by his 240,000+ employees, highly respected by our military as well as by the global political and business leaders that matter. He has superbly managed @jpmorgan through every crisis, and has built the world's best, large, global financial institution working for clients from startups and mom and pops, to global institutions and countries.
Our country is at risk with $32T of debt with no end to massive deficits in sight, heading into a recession at a time of great political uncertainty. We need an exemplary business, financial, and global leader to manage through what is likely to be a critically important decade for our country in determining our destiny.
Jamie Dimon is that leader.
Jamie is of exemplary and unimpeachable character. He is a no bullshit, straight-talking, charismatic leader with an enormous grasp of the world's issues and how to address them. He is a great communicator that makes everyone who hears his words feel respected and inspired. He has enormous energy, vigor, and drive.
He is a wonderful father, friend, husband, and son. In sum, he is the kind of person our country deserves as our next leader. And clearly he is thinking about running:
https://t.co/ucE7a6T2D5
I can't imagine a better time for him to do so.
@POTUS is extremely weak and in cognitive decline. 70% of Democrats don't want him to run. Biden's weakness sets up a large opening for a qualified outsider to run as a Democrat.
Jamie can beat Biden in the primary and @realDonaldTrump in the general election, but he needs to start now and build name recognition among the broad electorate. He will easily raise billions of dollars from Democrats and Republicans to fund his campaign, and he knows how to build support.
Each year, Jamie gets on a bus and travels around the country meeting with tellers, branch managers, and other employees to spread the culture and inspire the JPM team; great preparation for a presidential run. He will also be incredible on the debate stage.
And there is nothing more for him to achieve at JPM. He has already been crowned the world's best banker. JPM stock will go up even more when he becomes POTUS as he can do more for the bank and our economy as President than he can as Chairman and CEO of JPM. The bank will be in great shape since he has built a deep succession bench that is more than ready to step up.
There is only one better job for Jamie than CEO of JPM and that's POTUS.
Jamie just needs a push from people he respects and from the broader electorate. If you agree that he should be our next POTUS, give him a call, send him an email or go see him, and like and retweet this tweet.
This will be one of the most important elections in our country's history. Jamie is more likely to run if we build a groundswell of support for him. Let's do our civic duty and make it happen.
Our challenges as a nation are largely due to failures of leadership. America needs and deserves great leadership and we need it now.
If a couple in your ward gets divorced, or a missionary returns home early, or a young person doubts their testimony, they do not need your judgment. They need the pure love of Jesus Christ. - President Nelson
One of the most evident signs that we are drawing closer to the Savior and becoming more like Him is the loving, patient, and kind way with which we treat our fellow beings, whatever the circumstances. #GeneralConference
Regional & local banks are critical to starting & supporting small businesses of all kinds. If depositors that account for most or much of these banks’ capital are afraid that they can lose their deposits, depositors will move their capital to a handful of NYC money center banks.
Over next 24-48 hours you’re going to hear/read about the term “bailout” regarding $SIVB. It will rightly generate high emotion.
I don’t know what’s best either way but as someone who was at forefront of subprime meltdown I’ll just note this.
Thanks @arcadefire for spending 2,681 minutes with me in 2022. I couldn’t stop listening to Age of Anxiety II (Rabbit Hole). #SpotifyWrapped https://t.co/RtIIRp9caI

A sustained inversion in the 2y-10y slope of the US yield curve has correctly anticipated every recession over the last 50 years - and I mean the proper thing, including a weak job market.
We are at -27 bps and counting, but ''this time will be different'' right?
No.
