The way we continue to erode the economic foundation of the working and middle class, you’d think today’s corporate elite are betting that AI agents and robots will soon take over not just our jobs — but our role as consumers and debt holders too.

If U.S. healthcare spending matched peer nations (≈12% of GDP vs. 17.6%), we’d spend $1.5 T less a year — about the size of Australia’s economy.
We pay the most, cover the fewest, and live shorter lives. That’s not freedom — that’s inefficiency.

Candy CPI up 9.8% year-over-year. This #Halloween, I’m implementing “micro-treats” to teach fiscal discipline. One M&M per trick-or-treater — inflation’s real, kids.

Remember when Nvidia was just the company that made your graphics card run Half-Life smoother? Now they are the half-life of the entire AI economy—$5 trillion later.

Only 4 of the 25 largest cities in the Americas are in the U.S. The rest? Latin America dominates this map.
A reminder that while the U.S. leads economically, LA leads demographically.
- U.S. metros sprawl across multiple cities
- LA megacities are hyper-centralized
- Population ≠ prosperity

Fun fact: Living presidents can’t appear on U.S. coins. So Trump’s commemorative silver dollar might have to feature his old friend Jeffrey Epstein instead.

Healthcare used to be a benefit. Somewhere along the way it became a privilege.
In 2026, Obamacare premiums will rise 18%. For a 55-year-old Arkansas couple making $85K, premiums will jump from $7k this year $30k next year.
How can the wealthiest country on the planet be okay with that?

This game of pretending only one side commits political violence is reckless. The U.S. is a well-armed tinderbox, and most of us don’t have 24/7 security teams. Stop normalizing violence. Stop excusing it. We’re all at risk when this becomes partisan theater.

Imagine an LLM trained just for seniors — answering tech questions calmly, step by step, no sighs, no judgment.
Resetting the Wi-Fi for the 17th time? Still cheerful. Explaining Zoom again? No problem.
Huge market! Real need!

The Hyundai engineer fiasco is so damn embarrassing. Imagine being a pro business president and letting something like that happen on your watch. If I was Trump, heads would be rolling inside of customs and immigration enforcement. No excuses.

Being an early adopter means bragging rights… and endless waiting screens. My FIOS Wi-Fi is blazing fast, but Apple’s servers are saying that my phone needs two days and my Mac eight hours to update. Patience is the hidden cost of living on the bleeding edge.

In today’s America, the line between racist and opportunist has nearly vanished. Too many are willing to exploit hate if it wins them power, clicks, or cash.
