@PEoperator As Aquinas says, “to love means to consistently will and choose the good of the other”.
You’re 100% right - life is not about you.
To know God is to know love.
The covenant of marriage between a man, a woman, and God will enable more personal growth, done right.
@BoringBiz_ 1000’s of stories of well-intentioned, first-time college graduates in their families, who took on massive debt to obtain an RN/MSN/NP etc. from top universities to achieve a career goal within their desired medical fields while overcoming a family legacy hurdle.
@curious_founder Apple Newton, maybe? Both hyped by FOMO (from an enterprise standpoint), but limited by primitive tech. High token costs & errors mirror the Newton's pricey, flawed software.
@signulll Success depends on political willingness to accept slower growth in certain government outlays and to tolerate creative destruction in regulated sectors; without that, the arithmetic of high debt-to-GDP remains unfavorable regardless of ideology.
@DonMiami3 Predictive, reactionary….or manipulative?
prediction markets can be manipulated with 10-20 million dollars spread within hundreds or thousands of people.
@RetardDecoder China decoupling, attempting to reindustrialize, Bessent manipulating markets, US leveraging control of global shipping lanes and energy corridors, tariffs weren't necessarily inflationary, renewed executive measures on border/asylum restrictions.
8.2/10
@realErikDPrince And then..
1. Secure the border and enforce the law first.
2. Shift to transparent, individual merit and economic contribution.
3. Enforce strict public-charge and self-sufficiency rules.
4. Simplify the statute and reduce administrative discretion.
@Seanfrank Depends if we want to win or lose.
Print + keep post-’71 = China supplying/building our military.
OR
Restructure to gold = inflate & reshore.
Can’t do both.
@PeterMallouk The problem is CPI can accurately tell you that the price of a standardized basket has risen only X%, while simultaneously failing to tell you how much more money a real household needs to maintain its actual standard of living.
@lacontroller LA pours enormous sums into homelessness/housing programs with little to show for it - billions that audits cannot fully trace, high costs per outcome, and continued street deaths and disorder.
@lacontroller Exhibit A for why LA needs radical performance-based reform: stop lighting money on fire through unaccountable channels, protect core safety and infrastructure with measurable results, and stop prioritizing the perpetual management of failure.
