@ezraklein Please do a podcast on immigration https://t.co/sXIw5n0uGM

I'm annoyed this is such a political hot topic - why can't we enact a policy that sets forth a number of immigrants we take in, with given categories, every year. For example, we will benefit from a professional class of immigration, and can take X number per year. Equally, we can support Y number of immigrants from a humanitarian standpoint (asylum seekers, etc). And everything in between. This can be determined in a non-political way by economists and others qualified to do so. From there we police based on policy where illegal immigration is still a crime.

I know it can never play out that cleanly, ie monetary policy, but it sure seems like we'd get to a solution unlike the barbarism we're seeing today.

@chamath @Sommjoshua Can you help me on the Founders list? I've been in the wine business for 20+ years and own the only South Africa focused wine business in the US

[Chamath Palihapitiya @chamath]

A year ago, I announced that I had gotten a California liquor license!

Why?

So @Sommjoshua could work with wineries to buy wine directly and bypass much of the middleman fuss and markup.

We had almost 50 Founding members join us with the goal of making sure that winemaking wasn’t lost in this age of ever-marching technological process.

Our Founding Members buy wine together. We travel the world to have dinners together. We sell wine to each other. Always at cost, never with a markup and usually with a discount that can be as high as 30-40% on even the most exclusive wines.

We also wanted to become a safe harbor for multi-generational winemakers as they transition to the next generation.

As a result we are forging lifelong relationships with the most incredible wineries in the world.

Perhaps, over time, if they decide it’s time for succession planning they will bring us in as partners versus sell to a large corporation.

We are a group of humans who want to protect their craftsmanship and celebrate both the beauty of their product but also the beauty of their locations and the wineries themselves.

Today, we're launching Drink With Me for non Founding Members. You can now get the majority (but not all) of the benefits of our private wine collective that our Founding Members enjoy.

While our founding membership costs were a bit expensive, you can get most everything we do, as a non Founding Member, for $5k/yr.

PS, there are a few Founding Memberships which we left open for emerging members but you will need a nomination from one of the existing FMs. They will let you know if they are one but here are a few that happen to be on X:

@BernieSanders @JeffBezos please have this debate with @BernieSanders

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@rahul thanks for highlighting this and thoughtfully engaging the haters. I live in Austin and so many policies here are limiting, thoughtless and dangerous.

@SpeakerPelosi @grok the left tells me it guts the voting rights act, the right tells me it enforces it. give me the breakdown

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@elonmusk wow, played this right to the edge on the 300+ tweet bet. I usually don't play these but the payoff on the under would be amazing!

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@BillAckman @X You have a moral obligation to stand up for the truth, especially given your means and ability to do so.

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@Jason is this a thing you're hearing people talk about? if so, I'd love to hear the take on @theallinpod

@chamath you're Canadian, right? can you help me understand this? is it just about English vs. French? I can't rationalize it...https://t.co/P7XgC4alJM

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@theallinpod good questions - the senator was not well spoken. I know little about him but question his competence based on this interview

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@DavidSacks @Jason please add this to the docket

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@elonmusk what is this twitter charge for my X subscription? 🤣

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@altcap thanks Brad, I submitted for my kids who are between 12-16, I see from the comments I may get something from the generous donors - I encourage all with children under 18 to do this. Takes 3 minutes.

[Cory Declusin @declusin]

@bgurley are you doing a signing event in/around Austin?
