If the wife of the murdered CEO of UnitedHealth is upset now, just wait until she gets the emergency room bill

The actual cure for student loans is simply to make the schools hold the loan. If the school is on the hook for the loan, it has a real interest in a) charging a price that reflects the future earnings of students and b) taking reasonable measures to ensure the students succeed

I will lower your taxes by reducing waste in our $70B + budget. Maura Healey has spent over $3B on illegal immigrants and will spend $2B on a courthouse in Springfield. This election is about who can lower the cost of living and taxes while bringing back jobs. This is my skill set as a business leader.

Hearing of big news that’s about to drop on data centers soon… Recent risk management strategies placed on data centers to now require milestone funding payouts are causing massive shortfalls on projects as inflation is pushing up costs far faster than expected. Generators and electrical equipment have risen as much as 400% in a year, steel and concrete up. Debt sponsors are now having to abandon projects at their midpoint or find alternative financing for the shortfall until the next tranche can be released. Many data centers are seeing this happen, including an OpenAi $ORCL project in Michigan that already required an additional $9 billion from the project start date, ballooning from $7 billion to $16 billion with more increases expected. The chip costs ballooned to an extra $40 billion as of June for the data center. It’s gotten far worse for Oracle and many other datacenters like $META and Neocloud/SPVS.

If the ocean has arrived at Dedham that really is bad

Hartnett: Today’s "AI Big 10" (Mag 7 plus Broadcom, AMD and Micron) is 41% of US market cap, which is where all previous major bubbles peaked

Juuri nyt on käynnissä massiivinen psykologinen operaatio saada Euroopan väestö kannattamaan sotaa Venäjää vastaan Ukrainassa. Operaatioon kuuluu median propagandaa, jota synnytetään niin, että joku henkilö X esittää väitteen, jonka apinamedia toistaa ja näin synnytetään keinotekoinen uhkakuva. Somessa on tuhansia botteja, jotka kohtuullisen hyvin imitoivat ihmistä, ja luovat kommenteissa illuusiota keskustelusta. False flag operaatioita tapahtuu. Drooni siellä ja täällä jne. Todellisuudessa Venäjä ei pyri mihinkään sotaan Eurooppaa ja Natoa vastaan, ajatus on jo lähtökohtaisesti järjetön. Saamme tämän sammumaan vastakampanjalla. Botit kannattaa napsia pois saman tien. Ne tunnistaa kun hieman selaa mitä postaavat, ei mitään ihmismäistä sisältöä.

FUN FACT: We are paying more money for worse versions of ALMOST everything because private equity firms buy up beloved brands, cut product quality to the bone, hike prices to squeeze out margins, and leave a trail of debt-ridden husks behind.

In 2005, Oneida shut the flatware factory in Sherrill, New York. A town that had made silverware for MORE THAN 100 YEARS was supposed to be finished. Two men refused to let that happen. Their names are Matt Roberts and Greg Owens. Roberts had managed that factory. Owens was another former Oneida manufacturing manager. When the company ended U.S. production, they bought the plant and the equipment and reopened it the NEXT DAY as Sherrill Manufacturing. They did not have a giant rescue fund. They did not have a Hollywood ending waiting. They had a building, some machines, and a workforce that knew how to make forks, knives, and spoons. At first they kept making product for Oneida. Then Oneida pulled the remaining American work and sent it overseas. That should have been the end. It wasn’t. They took government flatware contracts to keep the lights on. In 2010 they filed Chapter 11. They sold unused equipment. They sold space they could no longer fill. They leased back only the part of the factory they could still run. They came out of bankruptcy in 2013. Then they did the thing that saved the company. They built their own brand: Liberty Tabletop. They sold 18/10 stainless flatware straight to customers who wanted tableware MADE IN THE UNITED STATES. Not through a department store that could drop them overnight. Direct. Today Liberty Tabletop is the only company still manufacturing stainless steel flatware in America. Same town. Same trade. U.S. steel. About 70 jobs. They did not bring back 2,000 workers. Nobody did. What they saved was the last line. If you want American-made forks and spoons, this is the factory that still makes them. Support Liberty Tabletop. THIS is what keeping manufacturing in America actually looks like. 🇺🇸

$NVDA is already backing $133 billion of debt, and now basically stuck guaranteeing every dollar of debt that Neo-clouds and OpenAi borrow. Add on the $125 billion guarantee coming and Oh boy. Nvidia isn’t going to be long for this world either.

AI is a godsend for people who want to be artists but lack something to say and are too lazy to develop the skills to do so

AI Art and Gen AI is so funny because it's basically like giving a megaphone to a person so they can announce how untalented they are as loudly as possible.

Even grok thinks something is amok here.

Delcy Rodriguez messed up. She thought Venezuelans would be behind her no matter what she did bc of her proximity to Maduro. Turns out, they’d rather burn Venezuela to the ground than let her sellout the country to Trump.

Laughed out loud this morning for a full minute at how hard Wall Street and Silicon Valley are going to eat shit

Never forget, Nvidia $NVDA replaced Enron on the S&P 500 in November 2001. Both used special purpose vehicles (SPV) to hide their debt and circular financing. Jensen Huang was also accused of account fraud in 2000 and 2001, after an SEC inquiry found they had falsified their financial results.

In 2003, feminist journalist Norah Vincent spent 18 months living as a man in a social experiment to see if life was really easier for men. She ended up in a psychiatric hospital instead. Disguising herself as a man named "Ned," she altered her voice, flattened her chest, and wore prosthetics to pass as male in everyday life. She joined a men's bowling league, lived in a monastery, and even went on dates with women. Expecting to expose male privilege, she instead discovered men who were lonely, emotionally shut down, and shown no sympathy by anyone. After 18 months as a man, Norah suffered a severe depressive breakdown and voluntarily checked into a psychiatric facility. She concluded that "men are suffering," admitting the experience made her appreciate being a woman more than ever. She struggled with depression for the rest of her life. On July 6, 2022, Norah Vincent died by assisted suicide in Switzerland. She was 53.

They made it impossible for normal American kids to get into medical school, then said we needed to import a bunch of foreign doctors because there was a”shortage.” Why? Because becoming a doctor was one of the ways smart working class kids could lift themselves out of poverty.

Started drawing again last night and I'd like to make it a habit
