@elonmusk They hate what they cannot control...

A totalitarian regime's sole focus is absolute control. Anything that prevents or goes against that control must be destroyed for them to obtain the object of their desire.

I for one, do not intend to give up my freedom.

@elonmusk I agree... I had Grok help me to express my feelings about it.

Today I’m going to set the record straight by explaining my exact posture, point-by-point, on what is probably the most controversial issue of my campaign—a medical safety issue that impacts every one of us. If you take a few minutes to listen, I think you might be surprised to find out how much we actually agree.

[Benjamin Branham @benjaminbranham]

Simulation theory is an interesting topic that gets discussed from time to time.

🤔 Where do you stand on the issue?

[Benjamin Branham @benjaminbranham]

For those of you who do not understand the excessive spending by the government and how we are to be able to afford it need to look into #MMT (Modern Monetary Theory). This is the driving force behind the behavior.

This is how they are planning on being able to handle it...

First, they view money as just a ledger with no inherent value to mess up. The government basically has no debt, it just has control over the entire pool of money. They believe that the government can, and should, spend as much money as they want on things like infrastructure, UBI and other social programs.

Some of them may deny they are socialist, but it is very clear if you understand this principle. I don't have a problem with some social programs, just the way that things are currently being handled.

They view the creation of money on these social programs as just new entries on the ledger and then view taxes as money basically being destroyed or removed from the ledger. The plan is to implement higher tax rates to offset the creation of the new money to try to control inflation.

This all basically boils down to control. They want complete control over the monetary system.

They will continue to treat our economy like this, which will continue to result in increased inflation until the US dollar eventually collapses. This is likely when emergency legislation will approve ditching the US dollar and adopting a new global currency, so that the #IMF and #centralbanks can have global totalitarian control.

At this point we will no longer have sovereignty as a country. If we don't comply with whatever regulations and restrictions are set by them, they will have the ability to cripple us as a country because we will be completely dependent on them, since they control the ledger.

This is the ultimate goal for totalitarian regimes. Centralized power and control... This is the wrong direction for society, regardless if their intentions are what they believe to be in the best interests of society or not.

Greed is the root cause of the majority of our problems in this world. Greed of power is usually the goal. Money is just a tool that is used to exert said power.

Centralized power leads to easier exploitation of the masses. This is bad for society because of the lack of checks and balances.

The United States of America’s strength comes from the distribution of power amongst the states and the ability to govern at a more local level. This world is not one size fits all and it shouldn't be...

We are the salt of the Earth. The uniqueness that we all have to offer is what makes life worth living. Individualism is important to the collective and should be protected.

We've seen what happens under totalitarian regimes in the past. The people who are in control live great lives, while the masses suffer. Do we really want to continue down this path?

I acknowledge that our current system is broken and that we can do better as a society. The top heavy distribution of wealth will not just go away with MMT, it will just reinforce their hold.

We need to address the issue from a foundational level. Starting with changing the way that we determine and collect taxes.

#TheFixforCapitalism proposal uses the lowest paid employee's salary to determine tax rates within each business chain. Your income tax rate is equal to how many times more you make than the lowest paid employee. This tethers the welfare of the lowest paid employee to all other stakeholders. This is the foundation of the change that we need.

Currently we have CEOs who make thousands of times more than their employees make, this is unsustainable and a net negative for society.

We also have businesses who have manipulated our tax laws to avoid paying their fair share. This needs to stop... By changing the method of taxing profits to a corporate tax collected on wages paid, we can ensure that all businesses are paying their fair share.

Transparency and simplicity are the best ways to combat corruption. My proposed system encourages and requires more transparency.

Together we can build a better tomorrow for us all. However, it will take an effort to get to that point.

Join with me and #PausefortheCause! Pause your spending at corporate owned businesses on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month. On those days, shop local and support small businesses. This is something that we can all do to help make a difference. Let’s show them that we are ready for a change.

If this message speaks to you, and you want to help further the cause, please share this with your friends and family members. Share it with your local representatives. Let's make a truly positive difference for our future generations!

@NFT_GOD Grok specifically said that it does not have access to real-time data...

@elonmusk was the data restricted before it went live for most of us? Or are there different versions of Grok with access to real-time data?

[Benjamin Branham @benjaminbranham]

Pause for the Cause!

Let's address the foundation of the problem.

Join our peaceful protest to bring awareness to "The Fix for Capitalism" plan.

It saves the meritocratic nature of capitalism, while adding much needed checks and balances to keep the economic disparity in check.

Don't spend any money at corporate owned businesses on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month and just shop local and small businesses instead.

[Benjamin Branham @benjaminbranham]

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

-Albert Einstein

We need to fix the foundation of our entire system before we will see any true significant improvements.

Our tax code is broken and our society is being run into the ground by greedy individuals.

We need to address this first. Check out the plan at https://t.co/YcMc6yGtOW and see how we can adjust the taxing structure to save all of the benefits of capitalism while adding the needed checks and balances to keep things in check.

It ties the welfare of the lowest paid employee to all other employees, by using their pay to determine tax rates within each company.

It also changes taxing businesses on profits, to a tax collected like Medicare is currently collected using wages to make sure they are all paying their fair share.

Join our peaceful protest to bring awareness to the "Fix for Capitalism" plan. Don't spend any money at corporate owned businesses on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month! Start today! Instead, just shop local small businesses.

Join us in making a better tomorrow for all of us!

Hello Everyone! I hope you are having a great day!

My mission on X is to make quality connections (I'm not a fan of the follower/following labels) and do my part to help make this world a better place.

We, as a society, can do better and we will do better.

I am here to share my positive attitude and outlook with as many people as possible.

I believe that our purpose in this life is to gain perspective, so this is a very high priority for me. I would like to share my perspective and glimpse other's as well.

I tend to post AI art, inspirational quotes, random thoughts, and the occasional picture or video from our homestead from time to time.

I also post reminders for @PFTCOfficial and ways the proposed Pause for the Cause plan can help impact society.

I welcome you to connect and join with me on this journey. Let's venture down this road together and let's make a better tomorrow for all of us.

[Lazy Bee Homestead @LazyBeeOfficial]

Hey everyone! I know it's been a while since I posted here. I am going to try to post more often. It's been really hot lately and I haven't done much outside.

I hope you are doing well and staying cool.

Here's an AI bee for now!

Good morning all!

What forms of appreciation do you find most valuable?

#morningmusings

[Benjamin Branham @benjaminbranham]

Individualism... Is it important to the collective?

If we have a society that values its people, then the people will want to take care of that society. We have over 8 billion unique and beautiful people on this planet. While it is important to maintain harmony for everyone, we need to allow people to be themselves. This is why it was a part of the founding fathers plans for the USA.

An important part of society is also the ability to strive to provide a better life for the people you love. Capitalism in theory is the answer for this, however the current system in the USA is broken and in need of repair.

The reason that Capitalism is broken, is because there are no real checks and balances for the economic disparity that it creates. Corporations are exponentially growing into monopolies and consuming any potential competition.

We’ve given too much control to corporations, and We The People need to take back some of that control, for the sake of our future generations.

I was able to identify from an early age that the main underlying problem we face as a society is the economic disparity that exists from the top to the bottom. The economic disparity is the true cause for the unrest that we have seen growing recently.

Corporations have destroyed the US tax code with lobbying efforts to provide themselves with tax cuts and deductions. The media portrays “race” as the driving force behind our problems, however, the true villain is GREED.

Corporate greed has become the norm… Why? Capitalism depends on people’s desire to innovate and create, to better their own lives for financial gains. Unfortunately, it also allows for corporations to just consume other businesses and collect all of the power for themselves.

I would like to put something in perspective. I worked for a corporation for almost 15 years, with over a decade resolving C-Level executive escalations, and when I left, I made $25.25/hour or $52,520/year. The CEO, with 5 years less tenure, made $54,914,015 in total compensation for 2020…  That's over 1,000x more…

Which means he averaged more money everyday ($150,449.35) than most of the other employees make over a 2 - 5 year timespan. His total compensation when broken down hourly, using every hour in the year is $6,268.72/hr. If we assume that he is only working 75% of the time (every day) and gets paid for 18 hours a day, then he makes $8,358.29/hr. However, if we use a 40hr work week to break it down, he was paid $26,400.96/hr…

When people are born into money, they can’t understand what it’s like to be born poor. Just like most people born poor, can’t fathom the responsibility that comes along with that much money. This is because of the size of the gap that exists, we have to close the gap and make sure that people are compensated fairly and that all of the "wealth'' does not end up concentrated with a small percentage of individuals.

This is a big part of what we are doing with #PauseForTheCause. We are advocating for a progressive income tax that is based on the lowest paid employee’s salary, which also scales automatically and indefinitely. The best thing is that it does not cap anyone’s earning potential, it just levels the playing field a little bit.

I would like to invite you to read the whole plan at https://t.co/YcMc6yGtOW. If you feel like you can support this agenda, then please spread the word and share this information with your friends and family and follow me, hit the like button and repost.

Remember to pause your spending at corporate owned businesses on the 8th, 18th and 28th of each month! Shop local!

The Bird has been freed and now we have the X.

What are your thoughts?

Do you agree with the decision?

Do you miss the bird?

Do you like the X?

Do you think Elon should have incorporated the bird into the X logo or at least kept the blue?

Drop me a comment and let me know your thoughts.

[Lazy Bee Homestead @LazyBeeOfficial]

Good morning all! I know it's been a while since I posted a video. I have several recorded that I need to edit, but here's a quick video from this morning showing my free haul of lumber.

[Benjamin Branham @benjaminbranham]

Good morning all!

Check out my haul of lumber that I picked up this morning!

Feeling thankful!

Hope you have a great day.

[Lazy Bee Homestead @LazyBeeOfficial]

We got two new animals on the Lazy Bee Homestead! Silver Fox rabbits!

They are in their temporary home till I can finish their new home.

#Beekeepers what are your thoughts on using an entrance reducer?

We are located in Arkansas and are just starting out and do not have a hive yet.

Also, do you have any tips to attract a colony?
