🚨#BREAKING: A German soccer fan who flew to the USA but was fearful about coming because of news about criminals and people being mean...
...breaks down into TEARS, live on air saying he has FALLEN IN LOVE with America after a random man named "Bob" in Boston gave him a ride home after he was stuck at a game with no way back to his hotel
The German soccer fan's name is Sebastian, he said after meeting Bob, he extended his entire trip.
He said leaving America will hurt worse than watching Germany get knocked out of the World Cup.
"I fall in love with America. I'm sorry, it's just so emotional. Americans are not rude... if we are together, we can achieve great things."
THIS IS THE AMERICA I KNOW!!!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The next trillionaire will undoubtedly get there by solving some very important problems (like advancing electrification of global personal transportation by a decade or more, dramatically cutting the $/kg of taking stuff to orbit, or supplying wireless broadband internet to the entire planet).
I want to live in the world that person will help create.
🚨 Jamie Dimon explains why people are leaving New York
"Our head count in Manhattan when I got to JPMorgan was 35,000 and now is 26,000. Our head count in Texas started at 11,000, now it's 33,000. That's what happens."
Jamie Dimon on why companies are leaving New York:
"Highest individual taxes, highest estate taxes, highest corporate taxes, anti-business sentiment."
"When I grew up as a kid in New York City, there were 120 of the Fortune 500 headquarters there. In the 1970s, 60 of the 120 left, including Exxon, GE, IBM, Union Carbide. They're all going to Texas."

NEW: Louisiana CEO gives away $240 million in bonuses ahead of Christmas to 540 full-time employees.
Graham Walker, who is the now-former CEO of Fibrebond, gave away an average of $443,000 per employee to be paid out over the next five years.
Walker recently sold the company for $1.7 billion. He made sure that 15% ($240 million) was set aside for the employees, even though none owned stock.
"Before, we were going paycheck to paycheck. I can live now," said 51-year-old worker Lesia Key, who has been working with the company for 29 years.
When asked why he made the generous move, Walker said his faith drove him to do it.
"It's Christmas season, I am a person of faith, and the faith that I got compels me to do it..." Walker said.
Fibrebond was founded by Walker's father in 1982 and is described as a "leader in wireless communications," according to their website.
Awesome! This is how it's done.

Some quotes from Pete Golding today:
“Who cares about a press conference. We need to celebrate these players.”
“I’m not going to yoga or pickleball. I’m not doing that ****. I’m doing the same thing I always do.”
“I don’t care if I’m coaching football or playing my wife in tennis, I’m trying to whoop your ***.”
The meeting was met with a loud applause from the players when Pete Golding was announced as the teams new head coach, @JakeThompsonOn3 of the @OMSpiritOn3 told @SpiritBen, @sudu_tv and I on the livestream.
He is a relentless recruiter and instrumental in galvanizing the team.
Just to recap, Lane Kiffin is...
- Leaving Ole Miss for LSU
- Abandoning his team right before playoffs
- Throwing a temper tantrum because he also wants to finish the season
- Trying to poach players and staff on his way out
... And now won't even be at the team meeting to talk to his team. You're watching everything a man has built the last 6 years dwindling in real time.
Let’s go! No one better @CoachGolding! Excited for the next few weeks and for the future of @OleMissFB. Players and staff ready to go win a natty! #CFP
Ryan Beard (@Ry_Beard) just scaled a 10+ foot wall to get into the student section with the remaining students here to celebrate the win. I wish I started the video before he got up there because it was an incredible athletic display. Ball coach still got it
Huge business news! 🚨
Last night’s State of the Union address, President Trump suggested he would reinstate bonus depreciation retroactively to January 1, 2025.
Bonus depreciation allows businesses to immediately deduct a large percentage of the cost of qualifying assets in the year they are placed in service, rather than spreading the deduction over several years.
It falls under Section 168(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.
Under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, businesses could deduct 100% of certain asset purchases, but this benefit has been gradually phasing out.
Reinstating bonus depreciation would make it easier for businesses to invest in equipment, technology, and infrastructure.
This move would likely spur economic growth by encouraging companies to spend more, expand faster, and create jobs.
Note that reinstating bonus depreciation isn’t something the president can do alone.
It would require an act of Congress to change the tax code and restore 100% bonus depreciation.
That means both the House and Senate would need to pass legislation, and the president would have to sign it into law.
We’ll keep you updated as more details emerge.

Take it seriously, not literally
The status quo cannot last. If we do nothing, it ends badly. What is the alternative?
Most of it has either already happened, or is underway. We weren't aware of the name.
JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon: Elon is our Einstein. It's rational he checks our government efficiency.
“You’ve got to look at Elon, at SpaceX, Tesla, Neuralink – the guy is our Einstein. I'd like to be helpful to him and his companies as much as we can.
I think it is completely rational for someone to look at our government and say it's been ineffective. We deserve good government, and I don't think anyone thinks sending another trillion dollars to Washington, D.C., will lead to good government.
The government needs to be more accountable. It needs to be more efficient. It should be outcomes-based. I mean, I'd say [go] department by department.
I wish them the best. It's going to be complicated. The federal government's complicated. You read about all the people in it. And so, you know, if we could be helpful to them, I'd love to be helpful to them.”
