I love Samuel Sey and will do everything to help him. I also stand behind ICE and the very difficult job they have in protecting our country. I know Samuel does too. His response to this whole episode has been nothing short of admirable. I’ll share more info as soon as I’m authorized to share.

What I think is crazy about this Samuel Sey situation is that his supporters use the most apocalyptic rhetoric about anyone who they consider wrong about it. Like "Have you no fear of God?" Or denying the salvation of people. This is the thing that gets that response.

We run 11 storage sites in low income areas. Some things I've learned: Being poor is traumatic. Customers who miss payments are stressed all the time and are really anxious trying to pay their bills. Being poor is expensive. Customers will pay late every single month and willingly pay fees. They think, the bill is due on the first, but I get paid on the 15th so the fee is unavoidable. Paying early / on time is a foreign concept. If they get paid on the 15th, prepaying next month's bill when they have money seems crazy. They know how to play financial defense. They lock their debit cards and unlock only when they make a payment. They chargeback valid charges when they really need money and then apologize and makeup the payment. They rely on friends and family "run this $45 on my son's card, let me see if my brother has some money on his card" etc. You can only fall for a sob story so many times. Customers will say their son's very last toys are in the unit, we will tell them they can grab them today. Then well...they can't come for a couple days, then a week, then their brother is out of town who was going to help them... The only way to deal with low income customers is to have strict SOPs and never make exceptions. Every time we've made an exception for someone it's gone poorly. You become both frustrated by the self defeating activities of some of these customers and saddened by the difficulty going on in their lives. We totally love our customers and are always trying to help them where we can, but if you're the type of person who is used to only dealing with white collar labor / high income friends, you will have some adjusting to do to make your business work in these areas.

Warhound, a defense‑tech startup founded by Palmer Luckey and Ben Lamm, has raised $200 million in seed funding to genetically engineer war dogs for the U.S. military. Lamm is responsible for the de-extinction of the dire wolf which died out ~10,000 years ago. Warhound will find top dogs and then biobank their genetic material before cloning the proven dogs. The company will take the cell lines for top breeds like Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd before editing the genes to make the dogs perform better and improve “things like speed and agility or enhance olfactory sensors for bomb sniffing and whatnot.” Luckey’s Anduril will supply the dogs with advanced body armor, ear coverings, and other military technology like EagleEye, an artificial intelligence military helmet. Anduril is also reportedly working with META on battlefield augmented reality eyewear. Lamm says the genetically modified dogs with advanced equipment will not only make the dogs safer, but will also make the human handlers safer. The first Warhound puppies will reportedly soon be cloned and incubated and will be born in early 2027 and then will begin training.
