“Mamdani has built nothing. He is a taker, never a maker”
MIC DROP 🔥
We tax cigarettes to reduce smoking.
We tax alcohol to reduce drinking.
We tax fuel to reduce driving.
What do you think happens when you tax employing people and running a business?
Focus on what you can control.
Build something. Anything.
A product. Yourself. A family. Your community. A team. Relationships.
Or help someone else build theirs.
Don’t complain. Don’t play the victim.
Ever.
What are you building?

I hope this post stops someone dead in their tracks and I ask them a very simple question. If you're unhappy or anxious right now, has it hit you that it's possible that what you've been consuming the last year, two years, three years, four years has a direct impact on your unhappiness, your dissatisfaction? Has it even crossed your mind that if you listen to or follow people that constantly talk about what's wrong and who to hate and what to hate and what systems to hate and what things to hate and what individuals to hate, that you've now been in a hate bubble? I could not recommend more for all of you to start listening to practical positivity a lot more 💙🧡🙏
David Friedberg: California’s Voting System Looks Fraudulent, But It’s Working Exactly as Designed
@friedberg believes California’s extremely loose election laws enable “appointments” not free elections.
Why? The voting data in LA makes no statistical sense.
“ Pratt's post-election mail-in ballots declined by 1/3.
So statistically, the population of people that send in their ballots late reduced for Pratt by 1/3, increased for Nithya Raman by 80%, and Karen Bass 10% less, if you just look at the mail-in ballots before and after election day as a comparison.
I don't know if there's a sociopolitical way that you can assess those statistics and assume that these are individuals casting their individual vote for who they think should be Mayor of LA.
Basically, the concentration of incremental votes that Nithya Raman got came around the Skid Row area in Los Angeles.
But when you look at the basic statistics of what happened in person, mail-in before, mail-in after Election Day, it becomes a real statistical quagmire on how did this sort of a sociopolitical shift happen in such a way that it did?
Now, there was a report published, and they highlighted the 2018 California midterm elections and the challenges that they saw arise in that midterm election because of some of the legislative changes that were made.
First, California Assembly Bill 1921 legalized the practice of unlimited ballot harvesting in the state. What that means is that any individual in the state of California has the right to go and collect ballots from any other individuals, regardless of relationship, fill them out, and send them in.
California, two years later, 18 months later, also passed a law that made it permanent that every person registered in the state of California would get a ballot, so tens of millions of ballots then get mailed out.
Then there was another series of laws that were passed that said anyone can register to vote. You don't need to prove your citizenship. You can use a gym membership card as an example.
So anyone can register to vote. There is no proof of ID when you get a ballot. There is no demonstration that the person who fills out the ballot has anything to do with the individual who's supposed to be voting that ballot, and it is legal for an individual to go out and collect hundreds or thousands of ballots, ship them in, and they will all qualify in these kind of mail-in ballot voting processes.
So there's nothing illegal or fraudulent going on. In fact, the system is operating exactly as intended.
It has been set up and structured in a way that with the right construct, you can get an individual appointed, not elected, but appointed to a particular role in government under a, quote, ‘free election’ in California.”
@pmarca UBI will only be perhaps short term in nature. The future is in the hands of the few oligarch corporations. They will be financing their population for consumption. Your pay will require your participation and "work" within their network(s). No free lunch! Nice hamster wheel
BREAKING: CA Democrats just voted down my motion to stop AB 2624 — the “Stop Nick Shirley Act.” This insane bill would make it a crime for citizen journalists to post videos of left-wing groups engaging in fraud. An unconstitutional law to hide fraud from taxpayers! WATCH:

Bitcoin's mining difficulty is at an all-time high, making the network more secure by centralizing power into the hands of a few mega miners. The protocol's own success is threatening its core premise of decentralization. You have to admire the poetic justice.
I was pretty upset when I got into my new model X, mostly the unexpected costs in my prior leased X. I had to pay for a full set of new tires on my returned lease which is pretty silly and unexpected. Awareness was everything if I was aware of this before committing I probably would have still committed. But because I wasn’t and nobody bothered to educate me it left a super bad taste in my mouth.
The falling out was inevitable. You don’t land rockets backwards or get cars to drive themselves by suffering fools gladly. This interview with @SharylAttkisson was taped on March 27th.
