  • Social security is going bankrupt. Many retirees in FL. If we allow 5-10 year olds to exist, then 60 years from now they are just going to make my share of SS smaller.

    main joke explained: Young working people already pay more in SS taxes than they can expect to receive back in retirement. They support older workers in the pyramid scheme, and many who might view the squid game economics have less than 60 years additional life expectancy. Thanks for coming to my podcast.










  • Mecha Hitler backer of AfD, and “Pardon Derek Chauvin to instigate riots so that we can finally genocide the blacks in America” is hurting auto sales for Tesla.

    Stock price is still very high, because self driving could work (it’s late, behind competition, and underwhelming), humanoid robots could work. He’s also been doing BS transactions between companies he controls to inflate both stock (private market) values, and that BS could expand to Tesla.

    There are several problems with this announcement:

    1. it is a distraction because every other objective is failing. There needs to be a new moonshot announced so that you don’t dump Tesla shares, because you should trust him this time that the new moonshot will be achieved.

    2. Copying Office 365, or improving it, will have new/different bugs for a long time. Unclear why anyone would buy it if the main reason it’s still used is legacy dependencies that worked around any current bugs.

    3. MSFT spying will be (naively) trusted more than MechaHitler spying. Corporate AI in service to US military supremacy and Skynet control over the world is bad for Americans too. Future AI acceptance will not be US mega tech led acceptance. A marketing fight over which company hates Americans the most will harm both brands.

    4. OpenOffice is pretty good for free. An open source local toolchain can add trusted AI integration.





  • The apoplectic establishment reaction to Mamdani is not about the evil of affordable housing or solving food deserts. It is suggesting arrest of Netanyahu.

    States and cities are under fire from federal Republicans that either must resort to higher taxes on some people, or significantly increase desperation levels that will increase crime, and validate more the needs for fascist takeovers of cities/states that don’t fund anti-desperation programs.
