My $59k Cybertruck delivery estimate changed from July 15 to November/January for Utah delivery. Has anyone else seen similar shifts on their orders? Curious what’s driving the updated timelines – at Solana Beach, CA

David Friedberg predicts AOC will be President and says red states might leave the U.S. if she wins "I do predict AOC will be president. I would say AOC would be my front runner based on the extraordinary cost of living and wealth disparity. Those two things are going to continue to drive the socialist movement over the next 24 months." "And if AOC comes in and they bail out California and they federalize California's liabilities, you're going to see parts of this union, the red states... say, why should we be part of this union anymore?" "We don't want to pay for all of these liabilities that these blue states have accrued and that we are now being asked to bail out. And that is where I think you face a crisis of the union in the years ahead."

they’re not jobs if they’re not valued. they’re not valued if there aren’t customers out there willing to pay them for their great work. needing the government to “create” a job is tantamount to welfare and that level of welfare resolves these individuals to a dependency on the government and lack of economic mobility. and chains our people, collectively, to a more indentured future. you may be well intentioned but you have, and always will, fail to see the destitute folly of government as a job creation engine. i have tried to engage you on this topic, in good faith, with empiricism and reasoning, but you have only dodged my points and pivoted to some populist refrain about the importance of taxation and the evils of productivity-driven success. i can only assume you’re dodging these truths because you and the rest of the politburo leadership have deemed the conversation unsafe speech and put your oligopoly at risk. let’s leave it at that then. perhaps if your ways get their day, we can all bask in the glories of the dark ages ahead.

David Friedberg Explains The Slow Spiral of Socialism “Government programs create an anchor. They are a shackle.” “This is the spiral of socialism.” “The government programs that are meant to provide support to people require an increase in taxation. That revenue has to come from somewhere.” “That taxation ultimately leads to an attrition of economic value in that region.” “Then you have to increase taxation more, and you end up in the spiral.” “And we're seeing this now, not just in New York where Mamdani’s proposing to increase taxes, but across the entire West Coast.” “We talked about the 5% billionaire tax. So yes, that's a problem for rich people. Great. No one gives a sh*t about us.” “But where does this go?” “In the proposed billionaire tax, it actually gives power and authority to the California State Legislature that they can actually redo this wealth tax at a different level and a different rate in the future.” “Think about what that does. It now gives property seizure rights to the California State Legislature to set a value level, so anyone now that's got over $100M net worth, and then it becomes over $10M, and then anyone with $1M net worth, and the state can take 5% of your assets every year.” “Very quickly it becomes the process by which socialism and the socialization of assets that get seized by the government is realized.” “Once you're hooked on the government for some sort of benefit, it's very hard to unhook yourself.” “And it definitionally becomes a spiral. That's what leads to socialism.” “And we have seen it time and again. It's not a big revolution. Socialism emerges slowly.” “Gavin Newsom yesterday on stage at DealBook, talked about redistributing wealth. Ro Khanna is talking about redistributing wealth.” “This is becoming the Democrat party line, and they're going to end up trying to seize this moment to take these socialist principles.”

"A/C is the ultimate American solution to a problem. Instead of accepting nature as it is, Americans use expensive, wasteful technology to artificially change the environment to fit their fat, lazy lifestyles". Yes, this is the definition of technology and civilization, without which 99% of humans - avocado toast eaters very much included - wouldn't live to see tomorrow morning. Good tread on why Europeans are forced to live and sweat like a cavemen in the summer. 👇
1/ A thread about the class dynamics of air-conditioning in Europe. I believe attitudes toward air-conditioning are class markers in many European countries. Air-conditioning is seen as prototypically American, and that's important.
