What will be the straw that breaks the camels back? Tonight I’ve read about how we now have proof Trumps name was redacted in the Epstein files, Trump openly pressured GA house to commit election fraud, 30 people died in ICE custody, and CBS is censoring the “Inside CECOT” 60 minutes episode. #trump

“Our 2nd amendment right is costing us our 1st amendment right.” Dylan Page via TikTok
There is a responsibility associated with every right. Unfortunately we are not all responsible which is why we need laws. We have virtually no gun laws and because of that it’s infringing on other rights.

Here’s what I want to understand. Think of how much money you currently make. Now double it. How would your life change. Now multiple it by 5 instead. Or actually by 10. How would your life change? Most likely you still would not be a billionaire. How can you justify having that much wealth?

Extremely unpopular opinion: Snow White is Disneys best live action adaptation. Outside of Gal Gadot I loved everything about it.

I love that the same people who say to trust that billionaires know what they’re doing are the same people who do not trust doctors, economists, judges, and other experts in their respective field.

I'm a big fan of Barcelona's "superblocks", designed in part to reduce traffic and create spaces for humans rather than cars to interact. This intersection was traffic clogged a few years ago. Our cities can be better places to live.

Hypothetical Robin Hood Scenario in the US: Put a wealth cap of $1 billion per person in the US.
- 835 billionaires impacted ~ .00032% of population.
- 258.3 million adults in US
- $19k redistributed to each adult
- median net worth ~$120k
- billionaires would still make 7,142x the median

Just saw a video talking about how Trump is suing the press and how dangerous that is. I wholeheartedly agree but it’s made me wonder how media outlets are held accountable. I feel a lot of misinformation is put out from both sides just to get a reaction.
So what is the solution?

Pressure: Meta faces lawsuits of $7 bill for monopoly and ad fraud.
Opportunity: Meta donates $1M to Trump, meets w/him, and benefits as Congress bans TikTok for reasons that are unfounded.
Rationalization: Actions framed as protecting US interests

I’d love to see a platform that debates controversial topics between 2 experts in their respective fields. It needs to be fact based and moderated to keep civility. We need to start seeing both sides and have ALL the facts.

TikTok is not a publicly traded company; however, Meta is. The same members of congress that voted to ban TikTok also have large amounts of shares in Meta.

Unpopular opinion. I thought Thor Ragnarok was so unserious when it came out, but people loved it. I gave it a 2nd chance and it grew on me. Then L&T is made with the same playbook and everyone hated how unserious it was. I couldn’t have been more confused.
