No. Billionares are created by printing money, which communism is predicated on.
You can not own a billion bitcoin.
This person is a retarded communist.
They shouldn’t. The existence of billionaires is a tax policy failure in America. No one needs or deserves that much money. All billionaires were created off the sweat of workers.

I both love and hate this.
As an engineer, its completely retarded.
As an engineer, its completely incredible.
Rust is a good prompt compilation target for the moment, but so is C++. And soon assembler. Then microcode. Myopic to think we're going to stop the agentic drill bit until it reaches computing bedrock.

When you value the individual, the collective will appreciate.
When you value the collective, the individuals will depreciate.
This is the equation that every collectivist misses, and why they always fail.

GM,
Retarded Communists do not understand reality. They believe, in all seriousness, a version of reality that does not exist at all whatsoever. Complete fiat. This gives us unparalleled leverage to fight and defeat them. Cargo Cults don’t deliver payloads. Understanding reality does.
The move is to attack.
So long as we attack, we are going to win.

The time to decentralize is upon us!
Decentralization is the only political structure that actually disciplines government, and Switzerland's canton system proves it with 700 years of evidence.
Twenty-six cantons compete for residents and businesses. Appenzell Innerrhoden runs differently from Zurich, which runs differently from Geneva. When Basel raises taxes past the tolerance of its engineers and entrepreneurs, those people move to Zug, which has kept its corporate tax rate under 12%. Basel loses the revenue. The lesson writes itself.
Centralization is the villain. Every time a federal authority absorbs a decision that cantons once made, you lose the price signal. You lose the experiment. You lose the exit option. Brussels crushes this mechanism across the EU, which is why French farmers and German industrialists both scream at the same unresponsive bureaucracy with nowhere to go.
Competition between governments constrains Leviathan the way competition between businesses constrains monopoly pricing. Strip away that competition and governments do exactly what monopolists always do: extract maximum value from captive subjects while delivering minimum service.
The canton system works because it keeps power close to the people funding it and gives those people somewhere else to go.
Take power and responsibility out of the hands of bureaucrats thousands of kilometers away. Localize it to within manageable sections, and watch your area flourish.

California’s Democratic nominee for governor, Xavier Becerra, as head of HHS, once led the department responsible for a child-migrant facility costing $92,608 per cot — and it may have sent kids to trafficking rings.
The facility cost taxpayers $782 million. Roughly 8,450 unaccompanied migrant children passed through in under a year. Its job was to care for kids and place them with safe “sponsors” (family members or other relatives).
According to interviews obtained by Pirate Wires, the facility prioritized speed over safety. A case manager said sponsors submitted obviously fake IDs, and ID checks were “routinely ignored.” Another worker allegedly raised alarm bells about ~200 migrant kids who’d gone to a single location; when this worker contacted a child trafficking hotline, they were promptly fired.
A separate investigation by Chuck Grassley found that HHS, under Becerra’s watch, sent kids home with sponsors tied to MS-13. And a 2023 New York Times investigation found that some kids were released to trafficking rings, where they ended up cleaning slaughterhouses, suffering chemical burns, or performing hard labor prohibited for minors (in some cases, children died).
Becerra is leading in the polls. He brands himself the “safe choice” given his 30-plus years in government… and claims to “protect” “marginalized communities.”
…But his record tells a very different story. Our full investigation, via @nicolewizman1 👇

Whatever the context to the question, “without the government who would…,” the answer is always; you, your family, neighbors, charity, or a private organization.

I hate this. I hate that people, even when slopping, don't even think about how it works. This has to end poorly and I don't see how an increase in "intelligence" is going to save you from the results of blind feature lust
I am done with this shit. It is over. The state of engineering right now is horrible. It has been half a month since I started a new role at a big company. Nobody knows anything here. The specs, code, tests, PRDs, tickets, resolution of those tickets, reports, etc., everything is made by Claude Code. Nobody on my team likes this. They are being forced to ship as much as they can. I have heard multiple times from higher management that pushing code is not a bottleneck, so why are we slow? People are working 12 to 13 hours a day just to press enter. Nobody is reading anything. Humans in corporate are doing nothing on their own. Everyone, literally everyone, from an L1 to an L7 engineer here is doing the same thing. Talk to Claude. There is no sense of victory. Nobody is resolving bugs. In reality, nobody is thinking anymore. Everything is done by LLMs. It is so soul-sucking. I would not mind it, to be honest, if we were at least given the time to check out the code and see what is going where. But no, the goal is to just ship. No matter what happens.

> The hard truth is that racial integration is very difficult to achieve, especially because most parents are unwilling to sacrifice their child’s one shot at an education for the sake of long term improvements that are stubborn to affect.
"It's the fault of people who make more money than me"
"It's the fault of the public school system"
"It's the fault of the voters"
"It's the fault of the parents"
"It's the fault of the system"
"It's the fault of the money"
All true. But the omitted reason is always the same, and the only one that matters:
"It's my fault"
And at the deepest level of the systemic problem is the simplest solution:
"I can use a different money"

I am glad that Hannah-Jones wrote today's article on the 10-year anniversary of her 2016 essay, “Choosing a School for My Daughter in a Segregated City.”
Much of what she experienced and criticizes is what many of us know and have written about: the benefits of ability grouping, accountability, high expectations, and objective measures. It’s especially sad that her daughter exhibited many of the traits of successful students, yet her mom and the system failed her. Her love of math was not nurtured, and worse, her teachers didn’t correct her along the way (and we all know that math is cumulative), to the point that she ultimately failed her Algebra Regents.
As for her advocacy for integration and her admission that she “betrayed” her daughter in pursuit of it, it’s NOT the schools. For the most part, it’s about residential choices and financial constraints. She confirms much of what helps or fails students starts in elementary school. K–5 education largely depends on where families live, exacerbated by the fact that 50% of white families in NYC send their kids to private schools. The hard truth is that racial integration is very difficult to achieve, especially because most parents are unwilling to sacrifice their child’s one shot at an education for the sake of long term improvements that are stubborn to affect.
Activists, including NHJ, have opposed supposed instruments of segregation like G&T, yet these programs educate fewer than 5% of elementary school students. Charter schools, which Black and Hispanic families have increasingly chosen and whose enrollment is more than 90% Black and Hispanic, make up 23% of K–5 enrollment but they actually educate students better than our district schools. Maybe Hannah-Jones is finally seeing the systemically negligent public school system that prioritizes special interests and political tenure (aka power) over the best interests of NYC kids. One can only hope.
