Exactly. We (the US) don't have the bandwidth to be everyone's savior. Maybe focus on ourselves first... it's getting tough here to tread water for young families.
Let's say Trump escalated and eventually liberated the Iranian people. What makes the Iranians special? Shouldn't we do the same for the good people of:
North Korea
Sudan
Turkmenistan
Syria
China (let's be honest, they are oppressed)
No thanks. Focus on QOL here at home.
Shout out to the billionaires - the people that gave us Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, X, Netflix, Spotify, Tesla, Uber, Airbnb, Stripe, Zoom, PayPal and everything else we rely on.
Becoming a billionaire is the market’s way of saying you’re the goat, you did something awesome.
Now compare that to government, which makes everything shit - healthcare, education, business…
And yet the socialists insist the answer is fewer billionaires and more government.
Instead of “drive safe” I tell my wife to “keep FSD on”
And my wife just confessed that she can’t go back to driving a car that doesn’t have FSD.

Absolute best feature of iOS 26 that nobody has mentioned:
The swipe up to unlock attempts face ID AND displays the keypad to input your passcode at the same time.
I may only save 10 to 20 seconds on a given day, but it feels like weeks.
@ChrisDungeon Seems like everyone in our X niche now posts their detailed content behind paywalls. I totally understand but it’s a shame. With Reddit being garbage nowadays too, I typically get my TSLA updates from assuming the inverse of yahoo finance notifications is true 😂
@anyatrades No shade intended, just a potential explanation: maybe your relevance naturally peaked during the post-covid degen market AND before porn was legalized here.
Just a few minutes ago, President Trump signed an Executive Order to establish a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve.
The Reserve will be capitalized with Bitcoin owned by the federal government that was forfeited as part of criminal or civil asset forfeiture proceedings. This means it will not cost taxpayers a dime.
It is estimated that the U.S. government owns about 200,000 bitcoin; however, there has never been a complete audit. The E.O. directs a full accounting of the federal government’s digital asset holdings.
The U.S. will not sell any bitcoin deposited into the Reserve. It will be kept as a store of value. The Reserve is like a digital Fort Knox for the cryptocurrency often called “digital gold.”
Premature sales of bitcoin have already cost U.S. taxpayers over $17 billion in lost value. Now the federal government will have a strategy to maximize the value of its holdings.
The Secretaries of Treasury and Commerce are authorized to develop budget-neutral strategies for acquiring additional bitcoin, provided that those strategies have no incremental costs on American taxpayers.
IN ADDITION, the Executive Order establishes a U.S. Digital Asset Stockpile, consisting of digital assets other than bitcoin forfeited in criminal or civil proceedings.
The government will not acquire additional assets for the Stockpile beyond those obtained through forfeiture proceedings.
The purpose of the Stockpile is responsible stewardship of the government’s digital assets under the Treasury Department.
PROMISES MADE, PROMISES KEPT
President Trump promised to create a Strategic Bitcoin Reserve and Digital Asset Stockpile. Those promises have been kept.
This Executive Order underscores President Trump’s commitment to making the U.S. the “crypto capital of the world.”
I want to thank the President for his leadership and vision in supporting this cutting-edge technology and for his rapid execution in supporting the digital asset industry. His administration is truly moving at “tech speed.”
I also want to thank the President’s Working Group on Digital Asset Markets — especially Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick — for their help and support in getting this done. Finally Bo Hines played a critical role as Executive Director of our Working Group.
