Entitlement reform is the ultimate 3rd rail, everyone knows it's necessary, but no one wants to touch it.
We've built a tool that allows you model out Social Security reform and see the impact against GDP.
Refund all payments with interest? Sure thing!
End immediately or with a 30 year glide path? Check!
Safety net for existing retirees? Customizable.
Here is one scenario, what is yours?

For nearly my entire life, I've been told that the GOP will never win Hispanic voters unless we support open borders and amnesty.
And yet, it was the guy who ran on building the wall and deporting illegal aliens that won the largest share of Hispanic voters for a Republican candidate ever.

I grew up on food stamps in rural Kentucky. I have founded a company that makes clean, safe nuclear energy. I have created hundreds of jobs and will create thousands more. My family and I have bled sweat and cried to build this.
The idea that you can just steal this from me is awful and evil. You are not the good guys

Get married, have kids, and stop partying into oblivion.
Leave a legacy, be courageous.
Happy Sunday
God Bless all the parents out there

A wedding is not a performance.
It is a deeply human and hallowed rite. It is a sacrament rooted in something older than trend, older than taste.
It is not about control. It is not about ambiance. It is not, ultimately, about you.
Invite the children to it.

Thank goodness for some validation: CoStar just released a fact-based deep dive proving Opportunity Zones are working—you don't have to trust me anymore.
Article can be found in comments
Here's what the data shows:
▪️Surge in apartment openings in OZs since 2017
▪️23% of all apartments under construction today are in OZs (up from 12% in 2017)
▪️$40 billion+ raised across 2,000+ Novogradac tracked Qualified Opportunity Funds, with 75% targeted at residential
With the 2026 sunset looming, the case for OZ 2.0 is undeniable:
▪️Permanent status with rolling deferral windows
▪️Deeper targeting for the most distressed tracts
▪️Expanded incentives beyond capital gains
Policymakers, media—and yes, WSJ—this is your cue.
It's time to elevate Opportunity Zones from experiment to enduring policy.
Who's ready to make OZ 2.0 happen?

As much as everyone underestimates the difficulty of reindustrializing the United States, we underestimate the creativity, work ethic, and dynamism of the American people even more. Deregulate and watch what the kids can do

Dear X Support: @Support @elonmusk
I writing and others are Retweeting this to implore you to spend the time to restore Lyn Alden’s access to her X account. She was hacked and can no longer access it because the hacker changed the parameters. You think she has access. But she does not. Lyn is a brilliant engineer and commentator on investing and Bitcoin. She has over 700,000 followers!!!

This is gold from @joe_rigney
4 possible responses of leaders facing criticism:
1) Thick-skinned and hard-hearted;
2) Thin-skinned and soft-hearted;
3) Thin-skinned and hard-hearted;
4) Thick-skinned and soft-hearted.
The best leaders cultivate #4 as a virtue which makes them unequally qualified to lead others.

I had never heard of Larry Sanger @lsanger until today (thought I use Wikipedia a lot!) but this account of his philosophical journey to Christianity had me gripped to the last word larrysanger.org/2025/02/how-…
