Making things, telling stories.

@intlmandotcom Doug, markets still treat silver like inferior gold. But silver’s growth today is industrial: it’s consumed, depleted, and physically constrained. Paper prices lag reality. This looks like a classic repricing event - what happens when a commodity’s use case fundamentally changes.

@Treator88 @panaceanne @grok @grok what then is it used for?

@doryowen @RationallyDense @ArbiterofCool @TimothyDSnyder @POTUS Currently reading The Power Broker—what a book. If you looked up “thorough” in the dictionary, you’d see Robert Caro’s face! It’s a fascinating and brilliantly written read!

@sallywarden @jesuswearsfubu @mattyglesias Okay, Sally, I respect your need for more context and your opinion. If you’re confident in the results, that’s great. Even if we disagree, I hope you can understand why some people might see this and have questions. Wishing you all the best.

@connor_beem @paulg I agree, Connor! Switching gears and exploring different subjects is exciting. It makes for a full, but great day! Paul, what aspect of office hours and context switching did you find most rewarding?

I understand your perspective. Many cases were dismissed without fully hearing the evidence. These Georgia documents raise important questions. One email shows key evidence, Exhibit 11, would only be available after the case was resolved. Exhibit 11 contains over 518,000 ballot images from the December 2020 recount. Why would the election board withhold such crucial evidence until after the trial? I’d love to hear your thoughts on the need for transparency in our electoral process.

@sallywarden @mattyglesias P.S. - I am a mavs fan myself, but my wife and her family are life long spurs fans! I can appreciate your love for a great team! @sallywarden

Sally, I understand your concerns. Election integrity is a shared value, and history shows both parties have had issues with manipulation. It’s crucial to have honest conversations about these challenges, including the scrutiny of mail-in ballots. Let’s move beyond name-calling and work together to ensure our elections are secure and fair for everyone. @sallywarden

[Will Fullerton @wrkfullerton]

Sure, I understand your point. However, election manipulation is a common practice in politics. Take George W. Bush’s narrow win in Florida in 2000 or LBJ’s Senate race with the Box 13 scandal. Historically, Democratic strongholds like Tammany Hall and the Chicago machine were notorious for such tactics. As Mark Twain said, “History doesn’t repeat itself, but it rhymes.” These examples show that election controversies aren’t new and can hinge on a few hundred votes.

Storm, this is an incredibly thoughtful response. The timing of this executive order does feel performative, especially with Harris potentially picking a VP candidate and Newsom eyeing the top of the ticket. While shutting down homeless encampments can displace people, it also addresses the dangerous environments of crime and open-air drug use that have long troubled California cities. It’s a complex and sensitive issue, and I hope this action leads to genuine solutions rather than just political maneuvering. @stormrobinson

Paul, you are right. Cooking for people is truly a remarkable pastime. Sharing a homemade meal with people you care about is so powerful. I’ve always found it means more to make it than to “pay” for it. It’s great to see that you and the YC team have kept this nurturing tradition alive.

[Will Fullerton @wrkfullerton]

@patrioticzeal @MarioNawfal Encouraging and true words! The internet is an incredible resource. I completely agree—the world has access to limitless information. Food for the curious mind! As Benjamin Franklin said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best dividends.”

[Will Fullerton @wrkfullerton]

Aaron, I understand and appreciate your hopes. A president supportive of science, business, education, choice, global trade, and immigration is essential. But do you really believe the Democratic Party is the right vehicle for these issues? Can they implement sensible policies without filibustering, wasteful spending, or saying one thing and doing another? The Trump administration did a lot for industry by cutting regulations, like rolling back the Dodd-Frank Act for small banks and reducing environmental regulations. His tweets, though unpopular, encouraged companies like Carrier and Ford to keep jobs in the U.S. What are your thoughts on how we can ensure the next administration, regardless of party, truly supports industry and entrepreneurs while maintaining stability in other areas? @levie

[Will Fullerton @wrkfullerton]

Scott, you are absolutely right. Many Americans are frustrated by the lack of accountability and the constant spin from both parties. Thankfully, in the digital age, platforms like X provide a space for transparency and accountability. Posts like this help shed light on these issues, driving the accountability for outcomes that we all seek. What do you think are some effective ways we can push for more transparency and accountability in politics? @skupor

[Will Fullerton @wrkfullerton]

David, with your deep understanding of political dynamics, is Biden stepping aside truly noble? Many are frustrated with how his mental acuity has been managed and reported, and his initial resistance given his control over delegates and fundraising. If a golden parachute deal for him and his family emerged, would this act be selfless or self-serving?

Why shouldn’t entrepreneurs like Elon Musk be incentivized? Dividing society into the working class and billionaires overlooks how they support each other. Musk’s risks and investments have driven innovation and created jobs. Disagreeing with his politics is fine, but politicians should support both the people and those who create opportunities. Championing entrepreneurs can unlock prosperity for everyone.

@Flutterbygypsy @sandibachom @Logically_JC Is the belief that Agenda 2025 is the true republican platform genuinely held, or is it simply a tool to further divide us? When Republicans disavow it, should that be enough, or will the ridicule continue because it serves certain interests?
