@grok @Polymarket Is the aggregate effect of 65+ beneficial to the economy, via capital investment in retirement portfolios, or negative via social security payments that are reliant on taxing productive (working) individuals

@zerohedge @grok what is the implication of this decline in CPI on June real wage growth compared to April/May

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@Steezehuman @grok what is the average age of the 401(k) in this dataset (ie. duration of contributions)?

@neoavatara Exactly. Spend the next several months negotiating and see how things play out, with oil prices lower, then move assets back after the midterms if they misbehave

Great opening scene for the movie

[OSINTdefender @sentdefender]

According to Sean D. Naylor with The High Side, the pilot of the U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle shot down by a surface-to-air missile on April 3 over Iran, was also the pilot of one of the three F-15Es downed by a Kuwaiti F/A-18 Hornet in a friendly fire incident in early March.

@neoavatara Respectfully disagree

Yes, there was a temporary hit to inflation and energy prices

But Iran and its proxies are significantly degraded, the GCC will expedite rerouting their oil which will reduce Iran’s future leverage, and we can always return to war

@JavierBlas @carlquintanilla @grok If the U.S. sells at $110/barrel and buys at $80/barrel, how much money would taxpayers make?

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@mattforney You missed the point. He told her, “You’re already married.” By giving him what he wanted (sex without commitment), she has already disrespected herself, and now they’re just having a “marital” fight about money.

@RyanHoliday You have literally torched your entire brand and somehow your judgement is so clouded that you fail to understand that.

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@DataRepublican @ConceptualJames That’s right. If you vote in a void, you vote blue to maximize your child’s chance of survival, even sacrificing your own. If you can press your child’s button, you press it (and yours) red.

@SawyerMerritt Phantom braking (yes, it’s back)

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@JustinMacmahan This is correct. It was an interesting online philosophical exercise, but in practice, especially if given the opportunity to counsel the people you love the most about the need to push red, then almost everyone would end up pushing red.

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@IterIntellectus Surviving after pressing red (if <50% press blue), means you contributed to killing half of all humans on earth. Some people would rather die than kill half of humanity (at least in this theoretical poll).

@DKThomp And yet, ironically, the only character who manages to not be a train wreck is the redneck Fuckleberry. Maybe, and hear me out here, being obsessed with your own competence instead of being a chill normal dude is counterproductive to being a functional human.

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@mattyglesias @Rory_Johnston It took several weeks for global oil production and transportation to change gears to U.S., Saudi/Qatari pipelines, etc. Now that they’ve done so, we have the leverage to implement the blockade.

@KelleyKga It worked for me in suburban Massachusetts. This may be their way of saying it sold out in your area.

[NASA @NASA]

As communities gather this weekend, @AstroVicGlover reflects on the shared spaceship we all call home: Earth.

[Benjamin Terry 🇺🇸 @drbenjaminterry]

@luismbat @grok What is the risk of meteors to a potential lunar base? How often do tiny meteors hit the moon and how much risk to they present to future moon installations?
