That Gen Z is the first generation that is dumber than its predecessors is no longer an opinion. It is scientifically established, as is the cause.
Listen to neuroscientist, educator and bestselling author who specialises in human learning and brain development, Dr Jared Cooney Horvath:

You save up $5,000 of your own post-tax income, buy lumber, and spend three weekends building a deck in your back yard.
A county assessor drives past your house, notices the wood, and re-evaluates your property.
Your property tax bill goes up by $500 a year. Forever.
Did your new deck put $500 more wear and tear on the county roads? Did the fire department need a new engine because you have a place to put a grill? Did the local police deploy an extra cruiser to your street?
No.
You paid for the materials. You did the labor. You improved the neighborhood.
We don’t talk enough about how outrageous property taxes can be!

If you just let us keep our money instead of taxing the fuck out of our paychecks, you wouldn’t have to invent federal social programs to help working families — you’d eliminate the rampant fraud and potential for abuse. 🤔
End the income tax. End of story.

Everyone shouts "Tax the Rich"... but look at the facts.
A $150k earner pays around $30,600 in federal tax.
A $25k earner pays about $1,200.
It takes 25 people on $25k to contribute what one person on $150k does.
So why drive high earners out of the U.S. when they already shoulder most of the burden?
The problem isn't how much tax is collected.
The problem is how much the government wastes.
Stop blaming the rich.
Start holding the government to account.

He's 26. Apple offered him $8.4 million for the tongue-controlled retainer he 3D-prints in a San Diego apartment on a $180 Prusa. He said no
The retainer sits inside your mouth like an Invisalign tray. Inside it: a miniature accelerometer array wired to a Bluetooth LE chip, all encapsulated in medical-grade epoxy he sources from a Kearny Mesa dental supply company for $28 a bottle. It reads tongue and bite pressure patterns at 240 samples per second, translates them into cursor movements and click gestures, and streams the output to any device paired over Bluetooth. Total hardware cost per unit: $47. He wears his own retainer eleven hours a day and hasn't touched a mouse in six months
He posted a demo video to Reddit r/AssistiveTech in October showing a full 47-minute Cursor coding session controlled entirely with his tongue and bite gestures. The post hit the front page in nine hours. An Apple Accessibility engineer found it through a Hacker News crosspost three days later. Tim Cook quote-tweeted the demo the following Wednesday - called it "the accessibility hardware Vision Pro should have shipped with." Apple's business development team wired an $8.4 million acquisition offer to his lawyer in November for the retainer design, the embedded firmware, and a three-year exclusivity contract that would make Apple the only distributor globally. He declined the offer in December. His public statement was seven words: "This should be open. Everyone needs it." He open-sourced the firmware and STL files on GitHub the same day
Apple Vision Pro burned $3.5 billion in R&D on the premise that spatial computing input requires their proprietary hand-tracking silicon and their multi-year hardware roadmap. Neuralink raised at $2 billion on the same premise for neural implants. Tobii runs at $340 million selling eye-tracking hardware to accessibility clinics at $12,000 per unit. He runs a Prusa in a San Diego apartment printing a $47 retainer that a nine-year-old with cerebral palsy in Argentina downloaded and printed at her local library last week
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The described $8.4 million Apple offer and open-sourced tongue-controlled retainer are unsubstantiated with no corroborating evidence. A similar commercial device, MouthPad, is sold by Augmental for $1400 and is not open-source. augmental.tech augmental.tech/news

We The People need our own Great Reset.
Term limits in Congress.
Abolishing the IRS and the Fed.
No more foreign aid.
Ending foreign influence in our elections.
Removing all invaders.
This would be a great start, but I think the smart ones could add a few more.

The strange thing about celebrating the 250th anniversary of Independence Day is that we live under a more tyrannical government now than the one that the founders fought for independence from.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio just said the quiet part out loud.
Americans work 40+ years…
Pay taxes.
Follow the rules.
Build the country.
Then retire on $800, $900, maybe $1,000 a month.
Meanwhile, new arrivals can allegedly receive more support from the same system they never paid into.
Read that again.
The people who built America are being pushed to the back of the line.
This is not compassion.
This is a government priority problem.
America First was never just a slogan.
It was a warning.
Who comes first?
The taxpayer… or the system?
