It is absurd that Chris Rufo, who has done great work showing how DEI stacks the deck against whites, is now telling whites to get jobs in companies that have been biased against them for years. Mr. Rufo is married to an Asian.
For what it's worth I always found him and others to be more like opportunists who capitalized on a movement for personal gain/branding. Anti-DEI does not mean pro-white. I guess better to learn this later than never.
All this begs the question: what exactly does Johnson propose should be done, and why do those things require white identity politics?
looking to politicians or gurus is the problem. Better to focus on building personal wealth, starting families, and so on. No one ifs gonna throw you a lifeline . As far as the GOP is concerned, losing some White evangelicals is a worthwhile tradeoff if it means getting more votes elsewhere.
It's funny to hear Trump reading out this stuff in a complete monotone, like he's bored or sleepy. 500 billion dollar investment... meh, who cares? He does seem to like Altman though, thinks he's the biggest expert in AI. I suspect Altman has used his maxxed out corporate charisma on Trump as well: https://x.com/levie/status/1881838470429319235
He could not sound less enthusiastic. Maybe he is tired or something given everything going on now.
Amazing how as recently as 2008 the $750 billion bank bailout was unpresented, and now $500 billion is an afterthought. goes to show how much bigger the economy is and how these fears of debt are mostly hot air or unacted on. The people who have predicted debt collapse for the past 20+ years keep being wrong.
I predict far fewer deportations than expected. Same as in 2017 when everyone overestimated what Trump would do vs. what he was actually capable of doing ,which was not that much. Also, Elon and others in his inner circle are strongly pro-immigration.
No crypto reserve, or any plan at all or mention of it. I predict it won't happen. This is setting up to be a major disappointment. The one thing a lot of donors expected or hoped for is absent.
no executive order for btc reserve (yet), which was way hyped-up and his donors expected.
Not really because the 'back the blue people' are generally going to side with the Jan 6th protestors anyway.
The POTUS has no way of knowing if someone is under investigation or will be investigated, so the preemptive pardon covers this before the statute of limitations runs out.
i said retired. I thought there was no ambiguity
Letting Enrique Tarrio out of a 22 year sentence is reprehensible imo. Kinda increases the incentives for doing political crimes now.
being sentenced 22 years was reprehensible. This pardon commutes it to something more reasonable and commensurate with the crime that was committed. Even BLM protesters whose actions resulted in deaths got shorter sentences.
amazing how history repeats https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-us-canada-38057104
you have to assume your enemies are really smart and also really stupid . starved for controversy, the media has to create it
consider that someone may not be working, such as retired, and wants to save money by moving somewhere cheap. expat communities are a thing
yeah, if you making solid 6 figures in Bay Area tech, then it's worth it to stay put.
consider the possibility that an opinion doesn't have to apply to everyone or all circumstances
Will he give hit bitcoin and 'tech people' what they want?
I always ask people: if not the United States, where would you go? And where would you invest?
Unless you tethered by your job, live elsewhere where it's cheap but always invest in 'Big Tech'. Nothing beats tech as far as returns are concerned or Bay Area real estate. But otherwise, America is too expensive and you can save tons of money living aboard and than using the saved $ to invest in FAAMNG.
he's a professional public speaker and rehearsed it
Military spending acts as a deterrent and to enforce American interests abroad, so it's worthwhile even if unused .
no one cares. it's evident that when even celebrities can launch coins that crash and burn and not face the consequence that the threat of the law is a paper tiger. The worst worst thing that can happen is it's a civil matter and he pays a fine. afik no one has been prosecuted for promoting or launching a coin.
crazy how much this shit has gone up--even now $trump is higher than it was yesterday at this time.
Smart move by him. Anyone who is even internet-famous should launch their own coin like this. Free $ pretty much .
After Jan. 6th and other incidents, no one taking any chances.
agree. trump saw, correctly, there would be huge demand for this. he's not making any promises. The disclaimer on this thing is huge, which 99.999 percent of ppl who buy this will never see, let alone read in entirety. his bases are covered.
If the plates cost $1000 and you can eat from them that is like $5 of utility vs. a $995 loss. The vast majority of collectibles have no utility, because to remain valuable they cannot be used. many cannot even be displayed for fear of being stolen or breaking. MTG cards again being a notable exception to this which offer gameplay utility.
the price keeps going up. the performance is better than 99% of 'legit' coins . sure it can crash, but this is true again of legit coins. Trump is savvy enough to play into this demand. he stuck to his pledge in 2024 of not selling DJT stock.
put a small amount $ in. this way if it crashes you will feel good about not having put more, but if it goes up, all good.
both. obviously it would be good for the price
