Hollywood made this as a joke in 2006.
20 years later, people are watching it like a warning. 😬
The scary part isn't how ridiculous Idiocracy is...
It's how familiar some of it feels today.

let me make sure i’m understanding this correctly

the supreme court is refunding all tariff money back to corporations.

the same corporations that didn’t pay a single cent of those tariffs to begin with.

they passed every dollar directly to you through higher prices on everything you buy

you went to the store and paid more for groceries. you paid more for clothes. for car parts. for literally everything.

that money came out of YOUR pocket not theirs

and now the refund goes to THEM?

the corporations who used the tariffs as an excuse to raise prices even higher than the tariff itself and pocket the difference

the american people funded the tariffs.

the corporations profited off the tariffs.

and now the corporations get a refund on money they never spent in the first place
and nobody in washington thinks the people who actually paid should get the money back.

not a single person has even suggested it

guess we are never getting our DOGE checks either

this country does not work for you.

it works for them. it’s a joke

and they’re not even pretending anymore

🚨 What if the secret to success isn’t talent or luck… but one simple daily choice?

Nick Saban drops truth: Every single day, you face the same 2 questions:

1. Something you KNOW you should do… but don’t FEEL like doing?

Can you make yourself do it anyway?

2. Something you know you shouldn’t do… but really WANT to?

Can you stop yourself?

Getting out of bed when the alarm hits

Hitting the gym when you’d rather scroll

Studying or grinding when Netflix calls

Choosing the hard right over the easy wrong

This is the invisible bridge between where you are… and who you want to become

Put your choices ahead of your feelings

Because if you only do what you feel like doing, you’ll never reach your goals

This one mindset shift changes everything for champions — and it can change everything for YOU too.

Mark Cuban just described the largest wealth transfer of the AI era.

Almost nobody understood what he said.

Cuban: “There are 33 million companies in this country. Aren’t going to have AI budgets. Aren’t going to have AI experts.”

Not tech startups.

The shoe store. The regional trucking outfit. The accounting firm with 12 employees.

The businesses that actually run the physical economy.

They know AI is coming. They have no idea what to do with it.

Cuban: “You’ve got the head of Microsoft saying software is dead because everything’s going to be customized to your unique utilization.”

Software is dead.

The SaaS era ran on one rule. Build a generic product. Force millions of companies to bend their workflows around it. Charge rent forever.

AI ends the contract.

The business stops bending to the software. The intelligence bends to the business.

But customized by whom.

The third-generation manufacturer cannot tell Claude from Gemini. The county hospital is staring at a reactor asking where the light switch is.

Cuban: “Who’s going to do it for them?”

That question is worth more than the frontier models themselves.

Hundreds of billions are being burned to build the foundation. The smartest engineers alive are locked in a bloodbath over who owns the base layer.

Let them fight.

Let them burn the capital. Let them drive the cost of raw intelligence toward zero.

Because the wealth does not collect where the brain is built.

It collects where the brain meets the business.

Every ambitious kid in college right now thinks survival means a seat at OpenAI or Anthropic.

Cuban is staring at the other 99 percent of the economy.

Learn the models. Then learn the messy, unglamorous reality of how a 50-person company actually operates.

Walk through the door. Understand their problems. Wire the intelligence directly into their revenue.

That is not a job title. That is an entire economic class being born.

You do not need to build the brain. You need to build the nervous system.

The biggest winners of the electricity era were not the engineers who built the generators. They were the ones who walked into dark factories and showed the owners where to plug in.

33 million companies are standing in the dark right now.

Silicon Valley is racing to build the god. The fortunes will belong to whoever teaches him a trade.

CAMPAIGN TRUMP: “Child care is child care. You have to have it. We’re going to make this into an incredible country that can afford to take care of its people. America first.”

While you are being gas lit with nonstop politically orchestrated chaos, where is the Republican healthcare plan that Speaker Johnson told the press daily, back in the fall, that he had all prepared and ready to pass?

Americans can’t afford health insurance.

It’s a total and complete disaster.

The political industrial complex wants to fill you with nonstop outrage, either at ICE or ICE protestors, that you are supposed to go into a chaos induced trance and magically forget how freaking expensive health insurance is and the fact that BOTH political parties created this crisis.

Republicans can’t even end refugee programs that fuel fraud. They freaking funded it in the DHS appropriations bill along with government mandated kill switch in your cars.

People don’t care anymore to the point they don’t want to pay taxes and they don’t want to vote.

Republicans are in charge of everything.

All of it.

Make America Great Again should be actually making AMERICA great again.

Not Venezuela.
Not Israel or Gaza.
Not Iran.
Not Greenland.
Not Cuba or Colombia.
Not Canada.
Or any other country on Earth.

I mean God bless the rest of the world and I wish them well, but they aren’t paying our taxes!

There are 50 states in the United States of America.

Fix the problems that the American people face in those 50 STATES first.

What comes next from the manufactured outrage machine?

Let me guess.

Bomb Iran?

Because sure, that will make Americans forget that they can’t afford health insurance.

Thomas Massie just exposed that Trump is threatening to “ruin” his supporters’ businesses if they fund his campaign.

“I’m not talking about IRS audits.”

“It’s bigger than that.”

“Here’s what happens behind the scenes … ”

First, Trump allies are coercing Massie’s consultants into quitting his re-election campaign:

“Three of my consultants have quit on my campaign, all three for the same reason.”

“They were told: your other 30 clients will fire you if you keep working for Massie.”

“They make it hard to hire people.”

“I really love the consultants I got now, because they’re the ones who said: screw you, I’m gonna work for Massie brcause I believe in what he’s doing, and I’m good enough at my job, I’ll go find some other clients if you clowns fire me.”

Second, Trump allies are threatening to “ruin” Massie supporters’ businesses by abusing state power:

“I’ve got 15,000 donors across the United States. My average donation is $80.”

“Is that because I don’t want millionaires to give to a super PAC and to help me?”

“No. I’ll take all the help I can get.”

“The problem is, if you’ve reached some degree of success where you have a million-dollar disposable income, you probably can’t afford to tick off this administration, or they will come at your business.”

“You won’t get the permits you need to do the business.”

“Over the MAGA split and on foreign policy, there are people of great means … who could put money in my race and post up against the Israel First billionaires.”

“But they’re staying on the sidelines, because their business will get ruined.”

This is why Marjorie Taylor Greene left Washington.

The Trump administration is abusing its power and influence to crush populist, America First voices in the Republican Party.

Tim Dillon: “Everything is a scripted reality show.”

“You’re grabbing people left and right … you then have protests everywhere and you have ICE responding with deadly force.”

“You’re stirring the pot and creating mini civil wars all over the country that people are watching on television.”

“And you’re not going after employers that are employing illegal labor.”

“You’re not going after the big hotel magnates that employ illegal labor.”

“You’re not going after big agricultural firms that do the same thing.”

“If you are using illegal labor to build housing, housing should be cheap, right?”

“Agriculture, there’s a lot of illegal labor used in agriculture.”

“Then the food should be cheap, right?”

“Well, no. The food is the most expensive it’s ever been.”

“What about the houses?”

“They’re the most expensive they’ve ever been.”

“What about staying at hotels and eating out at restaurants?”

“No, that’s more expensive than it’s ever been.”

This teacher-turned-cognitive scientist shared a disturbing reality that left the room stunned.

“Our kids are LESS cognitively capable than we were at their age.”

Every previous generation outperformed its parents since we began recording in the late 1800s.

So, what happened?

Screens.

Dr. Jared Horvath explained:

“Gen Z is the first generation in modern history to underperform us on basically every cognitive measure we have, from basic attention to memory, to literacy, to numeracy, to executive functioning, to EVEN GENERAL IQ, even though they go to more school than we did.”

“So why? … The answer appears to be the tools we are using within schools to drive that learning (screens).”

“If you look at the data, once countries adopt digital technology widely in schools, performance goes down significantly, to the point where kids who use computers about five hours per day in school for learning purposes will score over two-thirds of a standard deviation LESS than kids who rarely or never touch tech at school. And that’s across 80 countries.”

But screens aren’t just decimating learning and making new generations less intelligent than the ones before them.

They’re doing something far worse. And when you take a closer look, it isn’t pretty. 🧵
