Palmer Luckey is the new "Guy who always makes too much sense!"
Palmer Luckey reveals he considered starting a nonprofit prison system that would only get paid if former inmates stayed out of prison for FIVE YEARS: โGet rid of the incentives to have people returning over and over again.โ ๐บ๐ธ
โI was looking at trying to start a chain of nonprofit private prisons that would compete with existing private prisons using a totally different business model.
Basically, weโd offer to house prisoners for free and only get paid after they were released and stayed out of prison for five years.
The idea was that I could win a bunch of contracts and get rid of a lot of the incentives to have people returning over and over again.
They donโt actually want real criminals. They want people who know how the system works, who will just sit quietly, serve their time, and get their bed paid for.
Thatโs not what I think incarceration should be.โ
Could fixing the American prison system save the United States money. Palmer points out a good topic of discussion surrounding rehabilitation programs and incentivizing the prisons to become far more dependable on achieving these mandates. Incarceration shouldnโt be a fluffy hotel stay.
This could be a riddle: How can you have a Halal winery?
Rep. Ilhan Omar and her husband's winery was shut down for fraud after they apparently sold investors barrels of wine with nothing inside, according to Rep. James Comer.
"From our initial investigation of Omar and her financial disclosure form, there are multiple fronts where you could get a search warrant issued," House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer said to Fox News.
"Not only was there a huge discrepancy in the financial disclosure form, there was the winery that was the big base of her $25 million listing on her financial disclosure form."
"That winery has, according to the press, been shut down because of fraud. They were apparently selling investors barrels of wine to be aged, but there was nothing in the barrels."
Back in February, after reviewing financial disclosures filed by Omar, Rep. Comer sent a letter to Omar's husband questioning how eStCru LLC and Rose Lake Capital LLC went from being worth $51,000 in 2023 to up to $30 million in 2024.
Comer at the time said the discrepancy was very concerning, noting how the California winery and venture capital firm "increased so dramatically in value only a year after reporting very limited assets."
"Given that these companies do not publicly list their investors or where their money comes from, this sudden jump in value raises concerns that unknown individuals may be investing to gain influence with your wife," he said at the time.
A couple of months later, in April, the winery reportedly shut down operations.

You don't get fat from one high calorie meal. It's a series of bad decisions.
We won't save or destroy the country with one election. It's been a series of terrible decisions from both sides that have gotten us here.

Government cannot solve problems because, a majority of the time, it is the problem.

The world needs more billionaires.
More billionaires means more millionaires.
More millionaires means more people making $100k+
The only billionaires in poor countries are the people in the political class.
In free societies, more billionaires means more wealth at all levels.

Until the 1950's you had to put crops in jars of vinegar and store them in a hole underground so you could eat in the winter. We need the youth to stop pretending to be victims and learn how life was and why it's so much easier for them, not harder. xitter.cf/LeeKuanYimby/status/21โฆ

I think the biggest fumble by the U.S. was not putting social security in the S&P 500.
How did so few Americans benefit from the god tier economic growth our country created?
Should've been the default.

If you think Democrats care about lowering the price of gas, just remember that on Day One of the Biden admin, two of the first things they did were cancel the Keystone XL pipeline and halt all new oil and gas leases.

Thank you!
I think Congress wasting our money is a bipartisan thing.
Neither side is willing to impose any self-discipline.

We have Presidents who stay in office for either 4 or 8 yrs. In general, we can survive bad Presidents (we've had several in the last 50 yrs).
But I don't think we can survive corrupt Congressional Reps and Senators who stay in office for 30-40 yrs.
TERM LIMITS on Congress must match term limits on the Presidency.

I don't know if it's just me. But I always thought wisdom comes from understanding that you don't know shit. You may be knowledgeable, but someone out there knows something you don't. Knowing you have to gain that knowledge and learn from others is the heart of wisdom.
