@scottew The only thing scarier is not paying tithing.

It's entirely possible that big tariffs on American consumers won't hurt the economy much and will raise lots of revenue for the government. Also, if this proves true, it seems like pretty good evidence that higher taxes aren't incompatible with a great economy.

Nice thread on the virtues of building community, beginning with one's neighbors. Centering our energy on person-to-person ties creates a strong antidote to blind partisanship and other "us versus them" feelings.

It takes longer but being part of your neighborhood community is the real deal. Church communities are often a shortcut to that, and end up being a genuine community too, but truly living among, relying upon, and serving those with whom you live in close proximity to is such….

I think the definition of "technical founder" is going to get extremely nuanced in coming years.

Also, if you are not a technical founder, you do need a technical cofounder.

While some kids may have overspent their balances themselves, it appears most trx were made by fraudsters who bought cards and PINs from kids on TikTok. Arguably, that means trxs are not unauthorized. Plus kids got paid even if they didn’t know of the ATM/POS fraud.

You're a gene that doesn't do anything and you want to propagate yourself as much as possible over the next 200 years. What kind of creature would you insert yourself into? And which trait do you want to be most associated with?. I think I'd choose sweetness in a small vegetable.

This Senate Banking package is a watershed moment in federal housing policy--chassis reform, Build More Housing Near Transit, Housing Supply Frameworks, & a brand new set of carrots & sticks based on housing production outcomes!. Full @NotebookLM-queryable text in next tweet.
