History's first trillionaire is a guy who catches rockets out of the sky with chopsticks and beams internet to every dead zone on the planet.
Same guy ships cars that drive themselves, humanoid robots for the factory floor, brain chips that let paralyzed people move a cursor with pure thought, and an AI running on a supercomputer his team stood up in months instead of years.
And the people crashing out about his net worth are doing it on the app he owns. The same app governments spent years trying to censor.
You cannot legislate a rocket into orbit.
No wonder the public has high distrust across government administrations. When something with clear benefits spiritually and physically (yes, there can be negative effects too) is continually labeled Scheduled I, how can we say we live in a free country?
Describing a psilocybin trip as “hallucinating” is a continual disservice to the psychedelic experience. That being said, how many more testimonies, case reports like this and data from clinical trials needs to come out before the probation of psychedelics is ended?
Bezos went on CNBC yesterday and said "You could double the taxes I pay and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens."
And all the bureaucrats and socialists lost their minds.
Promise the teacher a raise. Tax everyone. Launder the money through Washington. Then blame the billionaire. We aren't morons Ro, we've seen this before.
Bezos said the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax.
A nurse in Queens making $75K hands the IRS $12K a year. He said cut it to zero. She keeps her full paycheck. No bs refund, paperwork or shady government program.
Simple.
They won't do it. And you should ask yourself why.
They don't ACTUALLY want to help anyone. They just want to pretend they tried and get your votes while making you hate the ppl they scammed.
They want the money to flow through Washington, the city, every ponzi department and consultant and charity so each one can wet their beak.
By the time it reaches the teacher it's maybe $100, if that...
And then they'll blame the billionaire who hasn't paid their "fair share." Right Warren???
Lets take a gander at Mamdani's education budget.
NYC spends $42K per student per year, 3x the national average ($15K). Highest in America. Florida pays $9K.
NYC spends more per pupil than most people pay for private school or college. Its frickn insane.
The budget has gone up every year, enrollment has gone down. With all that money only 3 out of 10 kids can read in the 8th grade. Cuba can read better english and they speak spanish lol.
So where is the money going? Def not to teachers. but shh, ro doesn't want you to know that.
A starting teacher in NYC makes $65K. Mamdani's city spends $42K per kid, runs a $40B budget. You could pay every teacher six figures with that money and have 12 kids per a classroom. But thats too logical.
It goes to administrators. Consultants. Overtime. Unions. Friends and family businesses. Pensions for people who left a decade ago. Studies about studies. Buildings that take ten years to renovate. Everyone else but the kids, teachers and actual schools
THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY.
Politicians decide where the money goes. Teachers are underpaid because of how government spends money. Not because Bezos doesn't pay enough.
Then they stand outside a billionaire's apartment with a camera and tell you he's the problem.
That's the SCAM.
Ro Khanna says tax billionaires to fund $60K teacher salaries. NYC already spends enough to fund $100K teacher salaries. The money's there, Ro. Your people are the ones who won't give it to her.
Federal level is the same story. DOE spending up 649% since 2000 and kids aren't any smarter. GAO found $186 billion in improper payments last year. $3 trillion in errors since 2003. It’s criminal.
Stop taxing the nurse. No bureaucracy. Just let the woman keep her full paycheck.
Outrage is deflection.
They'd rather she pay.
Because her keeping her own money doesn't fund the machine and they lose the one thing that keeps the whole racket going: a billionaire to blame.
Even with marijuana moved to Schedule III, job drug tests won't change, employers will keep screening for THC like it's still illegal. They shouldn't test for it at all: it's not like alcohol or opioids on the job, lingers for weeks, and punishing off-duty adult use is outdated and pointless. Update the tests already.
Every year we jump forward by and hour and then back an hour in the fall for no logical reason. Everyone (most sensible people) agree it’s dumb. But yet year after year we still do it…..no shot we ever actually achieve a sensible calendar if we can’t stop “daylight savings”
Why do we live by a calendar that barely makes sense?
30 days.
31 days.
28 days… sometimes 29.
What if every month had 28 days
and the year had 13 perfectly balanced months?
Same dates.
Same weekdays.
Every year.
Welcome to the future of time. https://t.co/Trxrdn766z
🚨 Canadian snowboarder-turned-drug kingpin Ryan Wedding arrested after months on the run.
He was an Olympic snowboarder and represented Canada at the 2002 Winter Olympics but became a transnational drug trafficker for Mexico's largest drug cartel: he was on the FBI Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list.
@elonmusk the rocket stuff is sick but have you thought about entering the event ticketing space (add on X feature?) so concerts that cost $80 don’t cost $111.18 after taxes and a $27.18 “service fee.”….advancing humanity one rocket and concert at a time
After the right briefly got Jimmy Kimmel censored, Democrats suddenly became free speech warriors!
But just a few years ago, they demanded government, "Rein in media companies.”

Do you think all the medical professionals arguing the validity of the placebos in vaccine trials (rightfully or wrongly) would be willing to voice support for the placebo used in @MAPS mdma clinical trial?
