@Brandon06286565@DumbMoneyTV@icedcoffeehour Besides there is really only 2 ways this could go. Best to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.
I’m optimistic because I already have emergency food for 6 months in a storm shelter and enough ammo to defend Texas! 😉
Maybe. But there are already opportunities for people that see them.
Personally I use AI every day with my regular job, but I also have an AI bot that helps identify swing trade setups. I get a morning briefing that automatically reviews every stock on my watch list and an end of day review that goes over my entire portfolio.
I built a flow analyzer that watches large institutional trades and builds a database. I only have about a month of data so far as I’m building the tools from scratch in my spare time.
I’ve thought about starting an AI business to help small businesses in my area of rural Texas for more passive income.
Like I said opportunities are there, the majority of people just don’t look or don’t want to put in the effort required to start their own businesses. We will see the negatives long before we see the long term positives. But over the long haul, I’m hopeful that humanity as a whole will have the option to work not the requirement. People will be able to follow their passions without worrying about how much it will pay.
Maybe I’m too optimistic, time will tell.
Overall cost of living has increased throughout history. It’s never gone down. My hope is that with advancements in robotics, we will see the cost of goods drop because the cost of production will decrease.
The barrier to entry will be much lower. Anyone with a robot will be able to produce goods from their own home. That increases competition and reduces prices.
You can already see it with AI. The average person can now create an app using plain language. Businesses are built every day, allowing driven people to replace their existing income.
Fair pushback, but the smartphone analogy still works when you check the facts:
Prices: Yes, they dropped dramatically. The first commercial cell phones cost about $4,000 back then (over $12,000 in today’s dollars). Today you can get a capable smartphone for under $200, and even premium ones deliver insane computing power, cameras, and connectivity that would have been science fiction 25 years ago. The meme captures the exact “who would pay $1,000?!” skepticism at the original iPhone launch, and adoption still exploded worldwide in under a decade.
Negatives: Real ones exist. Addiction, mental health impacts (especially for heavy users and youth), privacy issues, and some social disconnection are real. Research backs those concerns.
But the net effect has been transformative. Global instant communication, democratized access to information and education, mobile money lifting billions in developing countries out of poverty, and an app economy worth trillions that created millions of jobs and businesses all came from it.
Wealth sharing: Not delusional. Big companies made fortunes, but consumers captured enormous value through lower costs, free tools, and new opportunities. Entrepreneurs built entire industries on these platforms. Productivity and living standards rose broadly. Tech wealth gets distributed through markets, jobs, cheaper goods, and innovation. That is how these revolutions compound.
AI will bring real disruption and growing pains (just like smartphones did), but history shows these tools tend to deliver massive net positives in capability and prosperity over time. 10x GDP in 10 years is probably hype, but dismissing the progress as “utopia bullshit” underestimates how fast tech scales.
Said just like a woman that has never had a child…
Men sacrifice their bodies every day protecting and providing for their wife and children. Women can deal with 9 months of being taken care of while they grow a baby. Men suffer for a lifetime in silence because it’s what we do… You’re welcome!
@Cissnei72@AmishTerminator@KingKun117@RealPostFolder Because whether you realize it or not, you are parroting the mother. “Well you took care of a kid that’s not yours for this long, might as well continue.”
It’s not anyone else’s business whether the man decides to remain in a child’s life that he has no relation with.
Explain how it’s abandonment when it’s not your child…
I’m not paying for my neighbor’s children, does that mean I’m abandoning them?
If the child wants to have a relationship with a man he thought was his father, that��s on the child and the man. But to say that he is obligated to remain in the life of a child that’s not his makes you just as bad as the cheating mother!
Yea, he must be the first person in history to hold a public office and trade stocks on knowledge he has…
It’s not like Nancy Pelosi hasn’t increased her net worth by $380 million over the last decade. She has been a career politician since 1987 yet has made almost all her money in the stock market. Funny how that works…
It’s rampant on both sides. Don’t act surprised or appalled when the side you don’t like does it!
@LZ_Reeves Exactly. No law forces you to merge early. Most state DOTs actually recommend the zipper merge — using both lanes all the way to the merge point. Studies show it cuts backup length by up to 50% and keeps traffic moving smoother. The guy in the video was doing it right.
In fact “waiting in line” is actually dangerous and frowned upon in most states because it increases the risk of collisions and sideswipes.
@NumbersGuy55@libsoftiktok In Texas your car is your castle. You are justified using deadly force to protect yourself, your family, and your castle (Home and car).
@TalieseMuse@Jenni_F333@mattvanswol Facts? You don’t care about facts… If you did, you would know that ZERO tax dollars are used for the ballroom. It’s all private donations!
Who’s saying he isn’t holding Nvidia or AMD? It’s just not as large of a holding and he already made money from Nvidia last year…
Chip boom is a 1 time sale though. Amazon is a continuing money printer that will use the chips they get to make even more money. Plus Amazon is now designing their own chips to cut out reliance on Nvidia, so Amazon gives exposure to multiple sides of the AI trade.
Roughly 20% of U.S. households (~26–27 million homes serving ~65–70 million people) rely on on-site septic systems instead of city sewers. These are especially common in suburban/rural areas, which is why the lines often run right through backyards. It's actually very common.
Septic pipes are typically buried 2–6 feet deep on average, but many areas (especially warmer climates) allow them as shallow as 12–30 inches since they don’t always need to be below the frost line.
Considering that the grass in the video is dry and yellow, it looks like they are likely in a much warmer state that have frequent droughts, like Texas or New Mexico. This would also be why the line is not buried very deep as it's unnecessary in most cases.
The dried grass also points to the idea that this is someone in a rural setting (with a septic system) as most homes in urban areas have irrigation systems to keep the grass watered...
