Contrary to the false history that Americans are taught, Herbert Hoover was a massive interventionist in the economy. FDR took Hoover’s interventions and shot them up with steroids. Trump is a massive interventionist. Someone like AOC or Newsom will take what Trump is doing and shoot it up with steroids. That’s why it was important to have DOGE dismantle the monster. DOGE was stopped. Trump will hand off all his whimsical dictatorial actions to the insane far left at some point. And they’ll really let us have it. image
My friend Dave Decamp on Israel: "They want the surrounding states to be completely broken and shattered so they cannot challenge Israel in any way." Immediately after I heard Dave say this, I realized that Israel is a microcosm of U.S. policy towards the whole world. No other nation is permitted to be capable of challenging the U.S. It's called the "Wolfowitz Doctrine." This is why we Americans are told that Russia and China (and the other nations that don't bow down) are our enemies. So Israel is the micro and the U.S. the macro of the same idea. And unsurprisingly, the U.S. is the military muscle that shatters Israel's neighbors. (Iraq, Syria, Iran...) This is all very bad. America can never be America if this is its foreign policy. And clearly Trump is not the guy to make America great again.
Elon is right here. Two BIG things need to happen though. 1) The West needs to stop the open borders insanity. (To Trump's credit, he has done a good job with this.) 2) The West needs to stop the wars for Israel. Israel uses our weapons to fight its neighbors, and then its neighbors flood into the West. (Trump has done a horrendously bad job with this.) image
There will always be new work. We human beings are never satisfied. We can't be here on Earth. We can find a problem with literally anything. That problem will need to be solved (with a new job). The problem that we face with AI is not that it'll take jobs, it's that we live under the biggest government in the history of the world. It interferes everywhere and messes up everything. Transitioning from one job to another should be easy. But our government does everything in its power to make things as hard as possible for us, so that it can keep expanding its power. In this environment, AI replacing jobs will cause a lot of problems. image
During the Covid scam we all saw human nature in action. Very (very) few have courage; which is why it’s a virtue. Most put heads down until it was safe to lift them up. While heads were down…every BS excuse was propagated to continue the scam (like Gaza). In the case of Gaza, it is virtually the entire U.S. government that puts their heads down. Genocide on their watch; with their hands on the purse strings.
