Priceless.
It doesn't affect me much at all now, though my wallet has become thinner in direct proportion.

Maria Shriver obviously comes from a very political family and has supported candidates for office, like her now-former husband Arnold Schwarzenegger and Barack Obama, but for the most part she has always chosen to focus on storytelling and journalism.
She has clearly hit her limit and has just posted this video about President Trump’s post and comment about Rob Reiner.

every god-fearing generation of men maintain and uphold The Wire Box, a strategic reserve of technical entropy from which the anonymous will rise up and become the prophesied Chosen Wire in Our Time of Need.

Capitalism doesn’t assume humans aren’t greedy. It assumes they are and refuses to give them power over others.
That’s the point.
Greed under capitalism is constrained by consent. You only get richer by offering something others voluntarily choose to pay for. If you stop providing value, the money stops.
Greed under collectivism is unconstrained. It’s backed by force. You get resources whether you create value or not, so long as you can moralize need or capture political power.
Also, capitalism doesn’t pit competition against cooperation. Competition is how we discover who can cooperate best. Every successful business is a massive act of cooperation with customers, workers, suppliers, and investors. It just isn’t coerced cooperation.
And the claim that capitalists never give back is empirically false. Private charity, philanthropy, reinvestment, and voluntary aid explode under capitalist systems and collapse under socialist ones.
What you’re really saying is this:
You don’t trust individuals to choose generosity. You trust the state to enforce it.
That isn’t moral. It’s just replacing voluntary cooperation with compulsory obedience.

I need you to listen to and share this story - of how Trump is preparing to abandon Ukraine in exchange for Russian money for his billionaire friends.
It could be the greatest corruption of American foreign policy in our history. Russia gets Ukraine. Trump's friends get rich.

Yesterday I did a video about how @YouTube might censor free speech. Today they took down this video describing how streaming piracy is winning back against corporate greed in the streaming wars. Go figure. Please watch it here instead, and let YouTube know what you think.

Mainstream media's review of @Tesla's FSD (Supervised) after using it public roads in Australia:
"To have this car drive me around Brisbane for an hour, we're talking in the city, motorway, spaghetti bowl of on-ramps, it handled it so well. It was mind-blowing."

Let’s stop acting like a market cap value is the same thing as a cash value.
Suppose I create a company that does nothing, issue 100 million shares, and then sell one share to my friend for $10.
In theory, you could say i’m a billionaire. I own 99,999,999 shares, and the last price was $10 a share!
In reality i’m not a billionaire because i’m probably not going to be able to sell all 99 million shares of a fundamentally worthless company for $10 a piece.
This is why claims that Grok has hundreds of thousands of dollars of its own shitcoin are highly exaggerated. Were it to actually attempt to liquidate those holdings, it would not secure the full nominal value as the price would crash.

I've never worked harder in my life, clocking in 65-70 plus hours a week. The sheer dedication and effort from our team at SpaceX is nothing short of extraordinary. Every person is fully committed, giving their all to make Starship our ticket off this rock. We are relentless, clothes drenched in sweat, but we keep going. It's hard, and there are moments when you have to remind yourself why you're doing it. But every launch reignites that drive, making you want to push harder and harder.
I'm ready to hear the sonic booms of super heavy as it comes back to the tower. The next launch is going to shake the foundations of what mankind thought was possible. If the Super Heavy booster is successfully caught, it's going to send ripples across the world, showcasing just how serious we are about this mission. This isn't just about reaching space, it's about redefining the limits of human achievement and pioneering a new era of exploration. We are on the brink of something monumental, and together, we will make history.
Keep pushing, one step at a time.
