    This trend is striking in affluent towns. I live in a town now where no kids work out the local stores, restaurants et al. Go a couple of towns over and the contrast is strong, and it’s only compounding. A real sense of community is lost and a true sense of entitlement is born.

    Ask anyone in 3PL or wharehouses in general and cheap labor is not plentiful. There’s massive shortage with 100% turnover - no one wants those jobs. It’s a > 1T opportunity.

    But he believed mans relationship was between him and god, not via the church. Direct to consumer 😇

    The real message here: founders, do your homework on the process each Investor has as much as you can and cater to it. Everyone is different but they like their process and view it as the “right one”. One firms brownie points is another’s demerit.

    Fuse Energy is monetizing radiation at Q<1 to fund its path to Q>1. Nuclear deterrence --> limitless energy. I wrote 14k words on Fuse, from fusion basics to the nuclear triad to SpaceX. Here it is in one page:

    The science and data is clear about the trauma this creates, we are damaging these kids. There’s no reason for it. As Jeb said, it’s an act of love coming here. Who are we?!

    We’ve had a 70% marginal tax rate for most of our tax history - 1913+. It gradually decreased in the mid 80’s. Even then those were off a much lower base then 10m. Argument makes 0 sense and has no sense of history.

    Commercial fleets have different missions and needs then consumer. Economics to scale from 1 charging station to 50 is non linear with infrastructure needs. This is a tight, cost effective solution to get a fleet on the road. Not really about consumer - but NIO interesting.
