If any elected leader opposes data centers or the reindustrialization of America, just say you support them in Chinese. Make every reply below their posts in Chinese.
They will eventually go insane.

Comrade,
The so-called “petite-socialist”, that contemptible species of the paper class, the petty-bourgeois layer which Marx so mercilessly exposed, is precisely the social force that clings with all its might to its managerial monopoly over labour. Its sole aim is to perpetuate its privileged position and to suck the last drop of surplus value from the proletarian masses and the poor.
The big capitalist, driven by the iron laws of competition, is compelled to slash costs, to cheapen production, and thereby to deliver ever greater quantities of use-values into the hands of the broad masses of consumers. In doing so he ruthlessly squeezes the parasitic managerial stratum, the very layer of “educated” bureaucrats and socialist careerists who imagine themselves indispensable.
It is a bourgeois lie, a deliberate deception of the workers, to claim that capital is crushing the miner at the coal-face or the labourer at the machine. No! The real, systematic, mass-scale extortion and oppression of the basic proletarian is carried out by the petite-socialist when he seizes the levers of the state.
Under the hypocritical banner of “socialism” he erects a monstrous bureaucratic machine, multiplies supervisors, inspectors, commissars and idlers of every kind, and turns the living labour of the workers into tribute paid to this new exploiting caste.
Thus the “petite-socialist” in power is not the gravedigger of capitalism but its most repulsive and hypocritical offspring ,the direct enemy of the proletariat.

AI is the enemy of socialism. Because it compresses the layers of unnecessary middle managers and administrators and technocrats. Look how eager they are to inject more administration and reduce the thing that decreases it the most.
Democrats won Congress and are starting to talk policy. Their emerging agenda: expand federal healthcare spending while imposing new restrictions on AI.
This combination is fiscally ruinous and we do not need to wait to see 7% yields on 10Y treasuries to reach this conclusion.
Like it or not, AI is our engine for economic growth and expanding our tax base. Like it or not, AI is also our best shot at taming healthcare costs: automating administrative work, expanding clinicians’ capacity, and delivering more care without a proportional increase in expensive human labor.
Look at how demanding the arithmetic already is. Even if real GDP grows 5% every year starting in 2027 - an extraordinarily strong growth assumption (~8% nominal) - and we add no new spending commitments, we'd STILL run a $400B deficit in 2035.
This is an agenda that will lock young Americans into a debt burden that consumes decades of future prosperity: more taxes, more national income diverted to interest, and less room to save, invest, and build wealth as we age.
If you are under the age of 50, think long and hard about your future. If you have children, think about the country they will inherit. A vote for this platform is a vote for leaving the next generation worse off than your own.
Every policy decision entails tradeoffs and I didn't hear an outstanding alternative proposal in 2025/2026. But these are your views and you're over 50, you should be ashamed. If these are your views and you're under 50, you should spend some more time thinking about your views.
My real blocker in launching products is finding more PMs/ceos that can be obsessive in the pre pmf phase. I think of PMs as CEOs.
Nearly everything you build will fail. The only variable under your control is how fast you iterate and keep pushing, and without a lead that can actually do this for 2 cycles, you are order magnitude less likely to succeed.
My advice to startup founders is that post pmf companies look completely different then pre pmf.
Pre pmf CEO/product lead needs to micro manage and get into everyone’s business. Until the people revolt because they are so busy dealing with actual growth problems and know better than the CEO.
I was force pushing code and telling ICs what to code until one by one the demand was breaking things that they knew how to fix better than me.
The best I can say is that all my ideas were directionally right and the ways they were wrong were fixable later.

an entire L1 blockchain is preparing to migrate to Solana!
@ZetaChain plans to shut down its Layer 1 on December 9 and move $ZETA to solana, pending governance approval.
here's the breakdown:
- $ZETA migrates 1:1 as a native Solana token.
- existing holders retain their token balances.
- ~55M ZETA in undistributed emissions scheduled for burning in 2027.
governance voting closes November 7.
another interesting example of projects choosing Solana's existing infrastructure and user ecosystem over maintaining their own chain.

Friedrich Hayek’s seminal book The Road to Serfdom is a warning against the dangers of government central planning, collectivism, and state control. It is a foundational text for modern libertarianism, but it also captured the imaginations of politicians and rival intellectuals.
John Maynard Keynes, Hayek’s chief macroeconomic rival, read the book while traveling to the Bretton Woods conference. Surprisingly, Keynes praised it as "a grand book," writing to Hayek that "morally and philosophically I find myself in agreement with virtually the whole of it."
Milton Friedman championed the book as a masterpiece of political philosophy. He frequently wrote introductions for its anniversaries, noting that The Road to Serfdom was essential for demonstrating that economic freedom is an indispensable prerequisite for political freedom.
Margaret Thatcher viewed the text as a moral awakening during her university days. It provided her with the philosophical ammunition needed to challenge the British post-war socialist consensus, ultimately defining her premiership's commitment to privatization and deregulation.
George Orwell also famously reviewed the book, offering unique praise. Orwell agreed with Hayek's thesis that state collectivism naturally breeds tyranny, noting that central planning gives "a small minority of bureaucrats" unprecedented power.
Hayek’s central message transcends ideological boundaries: even when well-intentioned, government planning sets a society on a path toward totalitarianism, tyranny, and the destruction of personal liberty.

Sorry guys. Software engineering and programming are dead. You just need to have perfect specs, unchanging requirements, an agentic deployment framework for high frequency releasing, and engineers with good taste and judgement.
