I like to talk about $TSLA, vegan life, crypto, and getting caught in the rain.

Starlink is providing high-speed internet to a community tech center in Île-à-Vache, a remote island off the coast of Haiti, connecting hundreds of students and teachers to reliable connectivity for the first time 🛰️❤️

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.

And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.

One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.

Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.

If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.

Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.

Alternatively

There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.

To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.

It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)

Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.

Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up

But

They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks

Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

@TeslaBoomerMama Robinhood

10% of requested + 9 shares

Top level RH client and holder of a very nice chunk of TSLA.

Made no difference.

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@TeslaBoomerMama @Ivan_S3XY I hold many TSLA shares on RH.

Got 10% + 9 of SPCX.

I'm not feeling the loyalty.

From the title page...

"Which is to show unto the remnant of the house of Israel what great things the Lord hath done for their fathers; and that they may know the covenants of the Lord, that they are not cast off forever—And also to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations—And now, if there are faults they are the mistakes of men; wherefore, condemn not the things of God, that ye may be found spotless at the judgment-seat of Christ."

@NarnianAttorney @FischerKing64 The one described in the old and new testament.

Which one do you worship?

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@NarnianAttorney @FischerKing64 Ahhh so you don't believe in faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism, gift of holy Ghost.

Good to know.

The Tesla Cybercab is ~3.4 times more efficient than a Waymo I-PACE.

The Cybercab is built from the ground up as a Robotaxi. The Waymo is a retrofitted platform with a sensor suite that adds excess weight, drag, and constant compute/sensor power draw.

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@NarnianAttorney @FischerKing64 I'll be so happy when I hear evangelical Christians talk about faith in Jesus Christ, repentance, baptism and the gift of the Holy Ghost like Jesus taught instead of Greek theological mumbo jumbo that no one understands.

Still waiting...

A Tesla is twice as likely to reach 250,000 miles as a Subaru

It does seem that the LDS are being unfairly singled out here. If the essential criterion for Christianity is Trinitarian theology, why do the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Christian Scientists, Oneness Pentecostals, and even Quakers (in some instances) get a pass here?

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@LDS_Dems It's definitely a slight against the church, but it reflects what evangelicals think about the church regardless of political persuasion.

I'd be really mad if I was Community of Christ on the old list.

@BradleyKSherman @teslaownersSV You're not posting this because of a raging case or EDS/TDS, right?

Right? 😂

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@RandomLDS Here it is directly from the Bible:

“And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone: for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought: But if it be of God, ye cannot overthrow it; lest haply ye be found even to fight against God.”

Still can’t believe this was a real chart 😂

@nicoraytruth I sometimes hear members of the church say they aren't comfortable with Brigham Young - almost like they wish he hadn't existed or led the church.

Ridiculous.

Just ask yourself what would have happened if there was no Brigham Young.

It's obvious.

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@PeacemakingSt @UchtdorfDF What a communicator!

Perfect answers for every single question.

Open. Positive. Clear on differences, but not using it to diminish others.

Incredible.

@martypartymusic One day it might be true, but they're running out of time.

@Alice_MiaX Two things are true about Cathie...

- Her research is incredible and often right on the money

- Her trading is horrible and she should just close down her ARK funds

[Spiffy 🍴🌱 @spiffyman]

@Alice_MiaX Ummm...

Yuuge mistake, but Euros are gonna Euro. 🤷‍♂️
