Super super cool. He used Fable/Codex to pass smog. The kids will be alright.

Honest answer: it varies wildly by location, but recent 2026 data (SmartAsset using MIT living wage + 50/30/20) puts a comfortable household income for two adults + two kids at $188k in the cheapest state (Mississippi) up to $330k in Massachusetts. Most states need $200k+. A more grounded estimate using actual BLS spending + savings lands closer to $130-175k median. 2027 will be a few percent higher with inflation. Median US household income is still only ~$88k, so "comfortable" is well above average.

People are so soft they’re banning creatine. They could never handle the old days. We used to do lines of NO-XPLODE for sport. The original formula. The one made out of meth.

For a century before steam, ships went where the wind let them. This video uses the CLIWOC database: more than 250,000 noon positions copied from Dutch, British, Spanish and French ships' logbooks between 1750 and 1855. First every voyage is folded into a single year, so the fleets move with the seasons. Then the tracks build up into the full century. The routes are wind routes. Ships bound for the Cape swung far west towards Brazil to get round the calms and the southeast trade winds, then ran east before the westerlies. Dutch ships for Batavia followed the Brouwer route through the Roaring Forties before turning north to Java. British ships fill the Indian Ocean on their way to India and China, and Spanish ships head for the Río de la Plata and the Caribbean.

The same guy who is calling for Elon Musk to be executed says he took a “giant dump” in the front seat before selling it because of Elon. These people are not mentally stable. Elon Derangement Syndrome.

There’s no joke here or punchline. Chapelle hasn’t told a joke with a punchline in like 20 years. Now he just wanders around the stage trying to be some kind of midwit philosopher, delivering a bunch of safe “edgy” opinions in a self-congratulatory way like a late stage George Carlin. A totally insufferable unfunny hack. Wildly overrated for his whole career. Chapelle’s Show does not hold up at all. He came up with like two funny sketches and that’s it. The media treated him like Jesus back in the day because he was a black comedian making jokes about white people. If you go back and watch some of that stuff now you’ll be shocked by how much it sucks.

Deflation is much worse than inflation!

SpaceX and Tesla have prospered in Texas, because we were not constantly operating under an oppressive and extractive state government. And I need to be close to the factories, so that I can walk the floor in person. That’s why the first major SpaceX factory was in LA and first major Tesla factory was in SF Bay Area. As California became increasingly difficult, due to extreme taxes and overregulation, we moved our major domestic expansions and HQ to Texas.

People get things wrong. My issue is how people going from being catastrophically incorrect and smug to showing up the next day and scolding everyone else.

Even if you raise wages, that would just cause more spending and inflation. They really have to make prices go down via deflation. However, with $40-41 trillion in debt, it isn't possible without default Inflation entrenched, they eventually cut rates and print
