YC and dropout culture have convinced us the ideal founder is 22, straight out of school, but the data tells a different story.
Some interesting data:
- An MIT study of 2.7 million US founders found that the average founder was 47 when starting a company that later exited through an acquisition or IPO.
- The same study cited that the founders of the fastest-growing 0.1% of U.S. startups were 45 years old on average when they started their companies.
- A 50-year-old founder was approximately twice as likely as a 30-year-old founder to produce an acquisition or IPO.
- Founders with at least three years of relevant industry experience were twice as likely to build a top-0.1%-growth company as founders with none.
So it seems that experience is one of the strongest advantages a founder can have.
Two lessons here:
1. It's never too late to start
2. It might actually be TOO early to start; getting work experience is worth considering

BREAKING: Every Democrat in the Senate just voted to BLOCK a bill banning stock trading in Congress, which also had a requirement for Voter ID attached.
Democrats want to cheat in the elections.

Ranchers in northwest Montana were waiting up to two years for a kill date.
Five families bought the plant instead. USDA-backed loan, 2023.
Four packers kill about 80% of US cattle. When the local plant retires, the nearest option is 250 miles away.

58% of America’s cattle inventory sits in drought.
57% of the hay is dry right along with them.
This isn’t a price problem. It’s a grass problem.
The herd was rebuilding, then flash drought tore through cattle country.
When grass dies, ranchers sell cows. That’s the squeeze.

China has been stealing technology for decades. Yet western companies have continued to set up shop in the country.
Huawei stole code and user manuals from Cisco in the early 2000's. Even worse. Using a combination of hacking and literally planting listening devices it was able to destroy Nortel.
A company went to China to grow blueberries. Local companies stole patented plants. The US company is now being destroyed. Why did we let this go on for so long?

Retail beef fell 2%. Finished cattle fell 15%. The consumer saved $0.14 on ground beef. The rancher lost $589 a head.
Same animal. The gap is the packer's margin.
One of the four companies that kills 80% of US beef took the spread while the cattle side got crushed.

Ingredients and contaminants found within Apeel have now been linked to the most deadly brain disorders and cancers.
This includes toxic solvents and heavy metals such as:
☠️ Lead
☠️ Arsenic
☠️ Cadmium
☠️ Mercury
Apeel is a synthetic coating, funded by Bill Gates, which is sprayed onto fruits and vegetables to preserve them for longer.
You may be unknowingly consuming it since it was approved for organic produce and does NOT require mandatory labelling.
And you can't wash it off.

Trump's 25% beef discount won't reach the shelf.
That 661M lbs he let in free is lean trimmings the Big Four blend into ground beef.
Cut an ingredient 25% and the discount flows to the packers, not you.
Ranchers need a price signal to rebuild the herd, not cheaper imports.

“Lab-grown” eggs are already in products at Walmart and Target.... made by genetically modified yeast, not chickens.
Genetically engineered yeast programmed with a chicken gene sequence to pump out ovalbumin in giant fermentation tanks.
FDA gave it a “no questions” letter — GRAS approval. Still an egg allergen. It’s already in baked goods, protein bars, pasta, sauces, and dressings.
Labels may say “egg white protein (from fermentation)” or “animal-free egg white protein.”
It is still an egg allergen. People with egg allergies will react. Vegans who think “animal-free” means safe will get a surprise.
This is not an egg. It’s a recombinant protein made by GM microbes, scaled with pharma fermentation partners, and quietly inserted into the food supply.
Read every label. Real eggs come from chickens. This comes from a tank.

.@POTUS signs an Executive Order to support farmers' ability to butcher, process, package, and sell their meat across state lines:
"We're going to give farmers and ranchers the right to process their own food... so they don't have to go through the Big Four processors."

Dish Network is about to be extremely unpopular
Dish Network technician confirms they are the ones doing the majority of the Flock Safety Camera installs across America
Dish Network is installing the Flock mass surveillance network
Dish was picked as a partner to do the installs because Dish has a large national force of outdoor technicians experienced in pole mounting, cabling and similar work with satellite TV installs. Flock’s own materials say they use third party for installs. Looks like we found who

Screwworm was eradicated from the US in 1966.
Aug 24, USDA reopened the Mexican cattle border anyway.
The parasite is back in Texas and New Mexico.
Ranchers carry the risk. The border does not.

President Trump just ordered U.S. flags lowered to half-staff nationwide for a full week in honor of Dolly Parton.
That is extremely special. Presidential half-staff orders are almost always reserved for presidents, vice presidents, justices, members of Congress, governors, or major national tragedies. Pure entertainers and cultural icons almost never get a nationwide presidential directive like this!
Whitney Houston only got state-level recognition in New Jersey, and even Elvis didn’t receive a formal federal order of this scope.
A weeklong national tribute for the Queen of Country is genuinely rare. It underscores just how deeply her music, philanthropy, and larger-than-life presence cut across America.

Balls in your court now, @HarmeetKDhillon
Will you send investigators to Hastings Charter Township to investigate these claims and ensure clean voter rolls?
Or will "monitors" somehow catch by simply watching elections like they have for decades?
Hastings Charter Twp, MI Clerk David Olson makes public plea to Feds to help him remove non-citizens placed on voter rolls by crooked MI SOS @JocelynBenson that he says he can’t possibly find or detect.
This clerk’s plea for help comes after SOS whistleblower revealed the details to Barry Co. Sheriff Dar Leaf @HarmeetKDhillon 🇺🇸

Why is beef in America so much more expensive than beef that has to be packed and shipped into the US?
#Nebraska 2 Minute Warning I may be the only one who is not disappointed in the Trump announcement today to eliminate more US Cattlemen. I don't support his decision I say it follows his pattern put forth by the WEF 2035 plan.

Get ready to gulp down chemicals so toxic that even China rejected them...
Holly at Altitude retweeted
On March 19, 2026, Chinese customs rejected a 22-ton beef shipment from an ArreBeef plant in Argentina after finding it contained chloramphenicol, a dangerous chemical banned in livestock production since 1995.
Guess where Trump says America will now be getting our beef in order to "bring down beef prices" driven through the roof due to his tariffs?
