@FCYahoo How did Ream get so much younger?

@steveonomics The biggest flex is having kids who want to spend time with you when they’re teenagers and beyond.

@anothercohen El dorado cafe for true Tex mex, otherwise Fonda San Miguel for true Mexican. Very different

@data_atx We’d be better off if the CoA just bought Robotaxis, approved unsupervised, and offered free or almost free rides to residents.

@ewarren Or get rid of fraud?

@SawyerMerritt Forrest green would have been way cooler, a color scheme not currently offered

US fertility reached 1.57 last year, the lowest ever recorded, and the WSJ explanation is "uncertainty about finances, relationship stability, and the political climate"

my great grandma had eleven children during the second world war, in a country being bombed, in a house with no running water, on rations.
poor people have always had kids. the poorest people on earth right now still have kids and the financial excuse is a story we tell ourselves because it makes us feel good and the real one is unbearable

the real mechanism is that we got rich enough to redefine children as an expense instead of the point. somewhere in the last fifty years the cultural goal inverted and a child stopped being what life is for and became a line item competing with the lifestyle. once you frame it that way the math never works, because the math isnt supposed to work. that's the point

we are living in the richest moment in human history and we decided to use the surplus to buy ourselves out of the future. the most prosperous civilization that has ever existed is committing demographic suicide at the altar of personal optimization and comfort, and the official line is that we cant afford it

the birthrate is a lagging indicator of a civilization that forgot why it was alive

@Nominal_io @ShinkeiSystems More affordable sushi? I’m here for it

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@data_atx Nah lots are too small for that

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@wholemars Well my reasoning was more math related. Bought a 2025 X in the 6 seat option. When I bought it, I was able to get the 6 seat configuration ($6,500) for free with the purchase of FSD. So I got FSD and 6 seat configuration for 8K instead of 14,500. Felt right to do it that way

@_delconte Ran into a bug looking at premium football seating. When trying to 'learn more' about the Longhorn Lounge via a chat, I am redirected to the Denver Broncos premium seating website. Here's a video: https://t.co/2gKXhkRli0

@Jason Just need more family friendly venues in Austin!

@LoewyLawFirm They need to, very simply, build an algorithm publicly sourced in the off season, then give that algorithm with weights to a computer like BCS era, and remove human bias from making the decisions. That’s about it

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@HulkCapital So if you’re young (say a toddler) is putting a little bit of money into it now a smart decision to capitalize on long term growth of bitcoin?

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

will home prices be discounted for cyber monday?

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@AJA_Cortes We’ve started using a healthshare plan (liberty healthshare) and while we have to do a little bit more legwork up front, we are saving so much money on costs. Normal health insurance killed us

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@carebearkieran He’s needed to hire an OC for three years

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@NashTalksTexas It’s been bad for a few years, too. I’m hoping we can right the ship, but for being an “offensive guru” five years in still struggling in the red zone is tough to stomach.

[Jordan @jjohnsonATX]

@elonmusk the main difficulty/confusion I have now is understanding my monthly premium if I switch to tesla insurance.

If the monthly premium adjusts for your driving once you have it, can we get an idea of that adjustment before based on our FSD driving? The base rate currently is high
