This was an incredible speech.
SECRETARY RUBIO: “Nationalism” became a dirty word. So we tore down our monuments, we condemned our own history, and in too many places we taught our children to be ashamed of the countries they would inherit. In the process we opened our borders, and outsourced our industry, and allowed our militaries to wither and to decay.

i seriously doubt people comprehend what this means
*10 million Optimus per year*
that's the equivalent of a whole nation of robots that could eventually work tirelessly, ~24/7, without needing to be trained individually, with the intelligence of a nobel prize winner, that only improve with time, that build and repair each other, that do not need holidays or sick leave or a raise, and that will just work without complaining
a new industrial revolution is coming, the scale of which we can't comprehend
The Optimus factory construction at Giga Texas is progressing rapidly.
It'll be a massive 7 million sq ft facility with a targeted capacity of 10 million Optimus per year. Initial production is planned to begin in 2027.
The Fremont facility, planned for 1 million per year, is expected to begin production this year.
This one scene captures so much of what’s wrong with America right now.
About a month ago, our apartment management was swapped overnight with no notice. The new corporate team is worse in every way: colder, less competent, and they couldn’t care less.
Packages have been going missing or sitting unannounced. Yesterday I found one in the package room. While I was there, a delivery driver who barely spoke English got into it with a leasing office girl. She started cussing him out in front of residents, including my wife and me. After he left she kept dropping f-bombs to the front desk about him.
Corporate takeover. Unprofessional staff. Foreign labor that can’t communicate. Zero basic decency. All of it in the lobby of a building people actually live in.
“As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.””

The Falcons effort today is giving a run for being worse than their 2nd half effort in Super Bowl LI. 😂 #KeepPounding
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”

I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.
Took a year to “problem-solve” and the solution was to just paint a crosswalk onto a street without actually fixing the cracks in the concrete 🤦♂️ typical leftist government success story right here.

In other words, "broken windows" policing works. If you prosecute people for the small stuff, you pick up most the people who do the really bad stuff - and prevent a lot of crime before it happens.
Of course then you get "over incarceration," and the pendulum swings back again.
The numbers here are insane:
In the L.A. Metro system, 97% of people who committed a violent crime evaded the fare. In D.C., 99.5% of those who committed a “Part 1” crime (homicide, rape, robbery, arson, or motor vehicle theft) had dodged the fare.
In New York, MTA CEO Janno Lieber says that “virtually all” crimes are committed by fare evaders.
Saw the new Spider-Man again last night, this time in 4DX. Awesome experience, super fun format. Been an @AMCTheatres A-List member for about 7 years now and it continues to be one of the best value subscription services I have.

Nobody against data centers understands data centers.
Nobody against Flock cameras understands how they work or what they do.
Nobody demanding Medicare for All knows how Medicare currently functions or what it would cost.
Nobody saying “tax the rich” knows how much the rich already pay in taxes.
Nobody saying “seize the means of production” knows how to build or maintian the means of production.
Nobody saying “fund education” knows how much we already spend on education.
Nobody saying “no new wars” understands geopolitics.
Nobody saying “ban corporate landlords” knows what percentage of homes corporations actually own.
Nobody saying “developers are greedy” understands why housing costs what it does.
Nobody demanding price controls understands what happens to supply when you cap prices.
Nobody saying billionaires could “end homelessness” knows what governments already spend on homelessness.
Nobody saying “just build public housing” knows what it costs government to build a single unit.
Nobody demanding free college knows how much universities already receive from taxpayers.
Nobody saying “just nationalize it” can look at what the government already operates and understand why that's a bad idea.
Modern politics increasingly rewards having the strongest possible opinion about something you have spent the least possible time trying to understand.
The American voter increasingly demand sensationalism and they have no idea how wealthy they are compared to the rest of the world.
They may end up being the cause of their self inflicted belt tightening and they are in no way ready for an ounce of actual poverty.
We need immediate competence to take over sensationalism and social media, especially tiktok is the enemy of that.
What an insane time.
According to Grok:
“The video is the official Blue’s Clues & You! Pride Parade sing-along, produced by Nickelodeon and released in late May 2021 for Pride Month. Aimed at preschoolers and toddlers (roughly ages 2–5), it features an animated version of RuPaul’s Drag Race star Nina West as a drag queen host leading a parade of animal families that include two mommies, two daddies, non-binary “babas” (dolphins, one in a power wheelchair), and transgender beavers while singing about various LGBTQ+ identities.“
There is none holy like the Lord: for there is none besides you; there is no rock like our God.

More fun(depressing) facts:
The Empire State Building went up in 13 months.
The Baltimore Key Bridge still isn’t rebuilt more than 2 years later.
…
The Golden Gate Bridge was built in just over 4 years.
California High-Speed Rail has taken 18 years, tens of billions of dollars, yet still has no operational high-speed trains.
We used to build great things quickly.
