USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
I just signed a legally binding contract under penalty of perjury.
The terms are simple: if I break any one of my promises as Florida Governor, I cannot run for re-election.
Politicians in both parties have lied to us. That ends with me.
STOP using AI to cut costs.
Start using it to create 10x revenue.
I built a custom CRM, automated prospecting, sped up COI requests, and gave my agents live call coaching.
Same team. Way more output.
That’s what AI does when you use it right.
What ways are you using Ai to 10x your business?

Anyone who is still getting a degree in tech I honestly feel bad for them. I’ve built out systems this week that would have taken a team of developers weeks. #claude#coding
Charlie Kirk was fighting with some very powerful billionaires that he took money from over things he was discussing.
The pressure on him was immense over the last two weeks.
The truth will be revealed. The messages will be leaked. And the movement he built will rise up.
Ron Wyden (D) just claimed that RFK Jr, “is…someone who chases money and influence wherever they lead, even if that may mean the tragic death of children and other vulnerable people.”
Wyden has received 1.5 million from the health care industry.
Notable donors include, Molina Healthcare, Quest Diagnostics, and Novo Nordisk.
