It's actually mind-boggling that @JDVance would say Watergate would be a "10 hour story" today.
Just to review, Nixon's aides authorized a break-in of the DNC HQ to install bugging equipment--in a caper foiled by a night watchman, who called police. They then enlisted the CIA to mislead the FBI that the break-in was related to a probe of malign foreign actors.
The entire operation was paid for by a slush fund controlled by the WH.
The WH also enlisted the IRS to probe hundreds of Nixon's political enemies.
The AG, the WH COS and several other top aides all were convicted and served time for their involvement in the crimes and coverup.
Nixon was caught on his own secret tape system conspiring with them but was pardoned a month after he resigned by his successor, Gerald Ford.
That Vance thinks this would be a "10 hour story" today speaks volumes about the moral and ethical degradation of the Trump era.
If you ever doubt how magical this world is, one day you will decide to go to a World Cup watch party in Oakland that you found online to root for a country where you spent two years trying to coax English out of the mouths of Cape Verdean teenagers. 1/7
⚡️Salary-only people are being moved from ownership class candidates into permanent operating-cost status.
The W-2 used to be a bridge.
Work, earn, save, buy house, build retirement, slowly become secure.
That bridge worked because labor income could still catch asset prices.
That relationship is breaking.
The asset side is compounding faster than the wage side, and AI is about to widen the gap because it increases output without giving most employees ownership of the productivity gain.
That is the core reality.
A high salary now often gives the appearance of success while failing to produce sovereignty.
Taxes hit it immediately. Inflation erodes it quietly. Housing outruns it. Insurance, childcare, tuition, healthcare, and property taxes drain it. Layoff risk hangs over it. Credential value decays. Meanwhile, owners get leverage, depreciation, carried gains, debt access, markups, asset appreciation, retained earnings, and exit optionality.
The next 20 years reward people who own appreciating claims on systems.
Businesses. Real estate. Bitcoin. Equities. Private company stakes. Audience. IP. Distribution. Energy. Compute. Land. Cash-flow assets. Anything that compounds without requiring every dollar to come from another hour of personal labor.
The ugliest part is that the professional class still thinks income is status.
That belief is becoming obsolete. Income without ownership is becoming a nicer cage. A $250K W-2 earner in a high-cost city can look elite while being structurally fragile. A business owner with messier income but equity, write-offs, pricing power, and exit value may be far more economically sovereign.
Luxury housing is exposing the truth first because it is the cleanest filter. Those houses increasingly require prior asset appreciation, business equity, family capital, stock concentration, liquidity events, or debt backed by assets. Pure wage earners can still enter, but fewer can enter cleanly. The marginal buyer is shifting toward ownership-derived wealth.
The deeper point: AI destroys the old middle promise. It turns many white-collar skills into tools, features, workflows, or cheaper labor bundles. People who only sell competence get repriced. People who package competence into owned systems gain leverage.
The correct posture is ruthless: treat salary as launch fuel, not destination. Convert it into ownership as fast as possible. Build or buy claims on things that compound. Reduce dependence on any single employer. Learn distribution. Learn acquisition. Learn capital structure. Learn tax architecture. Learn how to own the upside.
The future belongs to asset controllers, not credential holders.

🚨🇧🇷 Carlo Ancelotti on Endrick: “I see all the comments, it was the first game, there's a lot of competition, it's quite normal”.
“Endrick didn't start… but there are 15 other players that didn't start either”.
