You have all this thanks to the taxes paid by workers, households, and businesses.

Hate me or love me, but your office and my office are different. This is just the truth so I’m going to say it. You work from a cubicle. I’m working from a boat, sitting in a hot tub, watching a seaplane fly over me. You’re working to build someone else’s dream. I’m working to build my own. You have to worry about the next meeting, the next email, the next task someone gives you. I have businesses willing to sponsor me on 𝕏 for a single post and pay me amounts that many people have to work months for. And this didn’t happen overnight. I spent years building my own brand, my own audience, and my own businesses. But that’s the difference between spending your life building someone else’s dream and spending it building your own. You have to wait for your shift to end to go home and spend time with your kids. My kids are right next to me. We’re working together, learning together, using Grok, asking questions, and experiencing life together. You count down the hours until you can leave work. You count down the days until the weekend. You count down the years until retirement. I don’t want to spend the best years of my life waiting until 65 to finally start living. I’d rather be dead, for real. I’m living right now. And that’s what people don’t understand about freedom. It’s not about owning the biggest house, the nicest watch, or the most expensive car. None of that shit really matters when you actually get it. It’s about owning your time. It’s about being able to work from anywhere. It’s about being present with your kids while they’re still kids. It’s about looking up when a seaplane flies over you instead of being too busy staring at the clock waiting for your shift to end. Technology like Starlink made this kind of life possible for me. I can be in the middle of the water and still work, build, learn, create, make $ money, and stay connected to the entire world. My office has no walls. My income isn’t decided by a boss. My schedule doesn’t need anyone’s approval. My kids don’t have to wait until I get home to spend time with me. And I don’t have to wait until I’m 65 to start living. We are not the same.

Shuler: This Labor Day, shit’s too expensive. That’s what 94% of workers told us in our new poll. Four out of five say paychecks aren’t keeping up with the cost of living—groceries, rent, child care, gas. This is happening, by the way, in a country where CEOs now make an average of 312 times what the median worker makes. CEOs got a 21% raise in one year. Who else gets that? Democrat, Republican, Independent, whatever your politics, this economy isn’t working for working people. So how do we build a better one? The answer is growing the power workers have, joining together, building our numbers so we can demand more. Last year in our State of the Unions, we said we’d put together the single biggest year of action in our history. We talked about organizing everywhere, getting more young people into our movement, bringing people together around unions and what we’re fighting for. A year later, we have more union workers in this country than we’ve had in 16 years. Nearly half a million workers joined a union last year, almost all of them under the age of 40. So this June, our unions voted to double down and organize 2 million more workers into unions over the next five years. We’re going to deliver a workers-first AI agenda, making sure technology works for working people, not just billionaires and corporations. We’re going to keep fighting for good housing, better pay, health care and retirement, and bringing good union jobs to everyone. But these things don’t just happen. The labor laws in our country are rigged against workers trying to form a union, so it’s harder to organize. It’s harder to win on AI when we have politicians, Republicans and Democrats alike, who cash checks from big tech CEOs instead of doing their job and regulating them. It’s harder to build worker power when the people in charge are working every day to undermine the movement that gives working people a voice. That’s why these midterm elections matter. If we don’t right the ship in November, it gets that much harder to build an economy that works for all of us.

Brian Armstrong explains how he built Coinbase on nights and weekends while working at Airbnb Brian first advises those who are currently employed to not build your project on company hours or on your company laptop: “If you build it on company time or on the company hardware, the company probably owns the IP.” Then he describes his schedule for working on Coinbase while still working full-time at Airbnb. “I would often work [at Airbnb] until 7pm. I’d come home, eat dinner, and then I would work from 8pm to midnight. I would do that maybe 3-4 days a week on weekdays. And then on the weekend I’d work Sunday afternoon for 7-8 hours.” Brian did this consistently for about a year and a half until Coinbase was far enough along for him to get seed funding from Y Combinator. “It sucked. I mean I was tired after the full day of work [at Airbnb]. But this is where determination comes in… At that moment in time, I was in my late 20s, and I was like, ‘I really want to try to build something important in the world.’” When asked how he maintained friendships during this time, Brian replies: “I was pretty intense about it. I would say I sacrificed friendships for it. It’s not like I was just never responding to people, but I’ve seen this happen to various people. They get to a certain point in their life. Sometimes they turn a certain age where they thought they would have more done by then or maybe someone in their family passes away and they’re like, Oh my god, time is finite. It’s precious. And something happens where they’re like, ‘I’m going to get this done, no matter the cost.’” Brian tells those out there who might be in a similar situation: “Go hard at it. Finish your book. Launch your thing. Just start doing stuff - and even if you don’t know what to do, just do anything, because action will produce information and it’ll help you get to the right thing.” Video source: Steven Bartlett (2022)

Caller : “I am 65 years old and have made poor financial decisions throughout my life. I have no substantial savings my wife has about $10,000 in her 401k, and I have a couple thousand, I have two credit cards, a car loan, and a mortgage. Total debt, including the mortgage, is $137,000. Dave Ramsey: “Whats the mortgage detail?” Caller: “The mortgage is a 15-year fixed rate, set up for half a payment every two weeks, which means in a year I've made 13 payments instead of 12. Since we have no retirement plans, I'm trying to determine the best way to proceed to eliminate all debt.” Dave Ramsey: “What's the balance on your mortgage?” Caller: “115,000” Dave Ramsey: “how long into the 15 year?” Caller: “8months” Dave Ramsey: “Okay. So, it's brand new mortgage Well, doing a bi-weekly, you'll reduce the 15 to about 11 just on the bi-weekly thing that you're doing that that has the same effect of paying an extra payment a year.” “You've got $22,000 in other debt are you guys still working? And what you make?” Caller: “yes sir, the two of us together make about $105,000, first time we surpassed $100,000” Dave Ramsey: “Good news. I would just leave the biweekly mortgage alone and let it run. Let’s work the Baby Steps. “Your $1,000 starter emergency fund is already there. Baby Step 2 is listing your debts from smallest to largest. You have $22,000 in non-mortgage debt, and you need to have that paid off in under a year.” Caller: “I can have all of my unsecured debt, excluding the mortgage and the car, paid off in three months.” Dave Ramsey: “At least $2,000 a month needs to go toward your debt, not counting the house. That’s $24,000 a year. With what you’ve shared, you can be completely out of non-mortgage debt within a year.” “You’ll have plenty of room in your budget, so I want you living on beans and rice, rice and beans for one year. By age 66, you’ll be debt-free except for the house, Then you’ll build an emergency fund with three to six months of expenses. After that, you’ll focus on paying off the house and building your retirement nest egg.” “By around age 72, you’ll probably have about $200,000 saved for retirement, your house will be paid off, and you’ll be completely debt-free. You’ll just need to keep working for a while cause your broke.” “As long as your health allows you to do that, it’s what we're going to do, work those baby steps exactly the way they're laid out.”

This is mind numbing and very scary when you realize this is a DA office and they are this ignorant on the laws and upholding the rights of the citizens. This is the kind of situation that should keep every citizen up at night. ​We are looking at the District Attorney’s Office in Colusa, California.—the literal epicenter of law enforcement and legal prosecution—and yet, the people working inside seem to have a collective amnesia regarding the U.S. Constitution. ​It is absolutely mind-boggling to watch public servants, including sworn investigators like Ryan Hudson and Chris Liston, stand there and attempt to steamroll a citizen's rights based on "office policy." Let’s be very clear: A policy is not a law. You cannot "policy" away the First Amendment just because a camera makes you feel "uncomfortable" or "negative." ​ It starts with staff members physically trying to block the lens. In a public lobby where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, this isn't just rude—it’s an attempt to suppress a protected activity. ​ They constantly cite "privacy" as a reason to stop the recording. However, when you are a public official conducting public business in a government building, the courts have been extremely clear: the public has a right to document you. ​ Notice the shift in tone when they can’t find a legal reason to stop the film. They pivot to calling the auditor "uncooperative" or "difficult." Since when did exercising a constitutional right become "uncooperative"? ​If the people working for the DA don’t understand the basic legal framework of our country, how can we trust them to prosecute cases fairly? If they are this willing to ignore your rights when a camera is pointed at them, imagine what they’re doing when no one is watching. ​This isn't just about a guy with a camera; it’s about whether our public officials answer to the law or to their own egos.

Michael Crick just delivered one of the most INSANE arguments I’ve ever heard on LBC. Ian Dale asks Laila Cunningham what she thinks about Rachel Reeves’ reaction to being heckled on the forecourt, after Reeves declared she loves Britain. Laila says that people take issue with it and think we have a party that doesn’t love the country as much as that man in the van: “We have a Prime Minister that went after veterans in his previous job. He went after people who fought for this country.” Michael Crick jumps in with the preposterous claim: “That’s because he loves our laws!” Then sneers: “There are different ways of loving your country. Loving your country isn’t always putting up a flag on the back of your van.” So according to Crick, Keir Starmer’s role in the witch-hunt against British servicemen is actually a sign he loves Britain. This includes working for free as a barrister on human rights cases arguing the ECHR applied to British forces in Iraq, which opened the floodgates earlier, then as DPP overseeing IHAT with years of harassment, endless probes, and stress on troops who risked everything for this country, plus his current moves on Northern Ireland legacy issues that risk reopening lawfare against more veterans. Because nothing says patriotism like weaponising the law against our own veterans. This is the same pattern with human rights lawyers like Starmer: they’re a massive reason the country is in the state it is. Constantly shielding criminals, blocking deportations, tying the hands of government on immigration, and prioritising foreign offenders or ECHR rules over the British people who just want safety and control of their borders. They obstruct what needs to be done at every turn. The fact Crick thinks this should be celebrated as proof of how much Starmer loves this country shows how utterly out of touch these so-called political experts are.” Clueless elites defending a system that puts lawyers and offenders first, while sneering at ordinary people showing basic national pride. One side gets that loving Britain means defending its people, its history and its symbols. The other side thinks it means lawfare against its defenders, and under Starmer’s current regime we’ve seen plenty of the latter.

This week has been like so many over the last six years - another round of threats and intimidation from Pakistani gangsters and Bangladeshi Islamists desperate to silence me for speaking out against the gang rape of working class White girls by Pakistani men. Scratch beneath the surface, and you’ll find their links to The Labour Party politicians every time. The latest Islamist preacher targeting me? He fronts a litter-picking group funded by Oldham Council. And Greater Manchester Police? Neck-deep in covering for these criminals. Every crime I report vanishes into thin air, no matter the evidence I provide to Andy Burnham’s police force. Ask yourself: is this just incompetence, or does exposing The Labour Party criminality come at a price? Let’s be clear: their threats won’t stop me. But without the numbers behind this movement, we won’t secure the National Inquiry we need. My name is Raja Miah MBE. For six years, I have led the campaign that exposed how Labour politicians shielded Pakistani rape gangs. Without your support, this fight ends and they win.

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents showed up at a work site in Brownsville, Texas, claiming to be looking for two people… and ended up illegally handcuffing TWO U.S. CITIZENS, throwing one of them against a truck, threatening to arrest him again, and scanning everyone’s faces to determine their “status.” In the video, ICE showed up looking for two people. They asked the foreman if he knew them. He said no. Then, they asked if they could talk to the other workers about the people they were looking for. The foreman said, “If they want to talk to you, they can.” And then an ICE agent tried to scan the foreman’s face to run him through their system. The foreman told him he was not allowed to just scan his face. The foreman then walked over to one of his workers’ trucks, where ICE agents were surrounding the work vehicles at their work site. He asked what was going on. He repeatedly asked who they were looking for, and told them the people they claimed to be looking for were not there. The agent responded, “Well, we want to make sure.” The foreman told them, “Well, we aren’t them. You all need to leave.” And then an ICE agent threatened to arrest him. “You need to settle down or I have to put you in cuffs.” Except this man was not threatening them. He was not attacking them. He was not even raising his voice. He was standing there, asking questions and telling government agents to leave his workplace, after they had already expanded their investigation beyond the two people they claimed to be looking for. So, the ICE agent threw him against a truck and handcuffed him. A U.S. citizen. And after they released him, he asked for the agents’ badge numbers. And the agent responded by threatening to handcuff him AGAIN. The government cannot simply show up, invade your workplace, surround your vehicles, demand access to people who are not the subjects of their investigation, scan your face, and then arrest you because you object to what they are doing. The First Amendment protects your right to question government agents and verbally protest their actions. The Fourth Amendment protects you from unreasonable searches and seizures. And an arrest cannot simply be used as punishment because an officer does not like the fact that you are standing there, asking questions, or asserting your rights. Then the foreman saw another person ICE had in handcuffs… He told them they needed to let him go because he was not the person they were looking for. The agents eventually released the person they had in handcuffs… after scanning his face and discovering that he was also a U.S. citizen. The government is creating situations where people are expected to silently obey armed agents, who refuse to explain what they are doing… while they violate your constitutional rights… and then punishing anyone who dares to ask questions. When the government tells you that your only options are blind obedience or punishment… you are not living in a free country.

Equity vs Token In 2022 the dual-capital raise structure (equity + token warrant) got standardized in crypto and in its consequence forever hardcoded venture funded tokens to drift to zero. Tokens are now deployed to speed run liquidity for investors and founders, and are a rescue string to pull for investors once the equity investment doesn't look bright. The dual-capital raise structure made tokens the inferior vehicle over the equity, and even though both are usually marketed to retail as the same thing, the value proposition differ immensely. We now see this trend reverse after years of I'm happy to release Street's research paper today alongside Ash : "Bifurcation of Equity and Token in Cryptocurrency Markets". Read here: Venture Capitalists usually try to hide this or not talk about it because it's an uncomfortable topic admitting that the tokens have no Information, Governance, Economic or Litigation Rights and the people buying it for more than $0 are literally just speculating on these rights existing at some point. From a fundamental perspective one could argue that the fair value of all these coins is 0 + the odds of the team ever giving the token holders rights. You can convert your already live token to easily without redeploying or changing code, if you are interested go to and we'll talk with you or shoot me a PM. We take 0bps fees & pay for all the legal fees. We work together with the best security lawyers and the same SEC litigation lawyers that represented Ripple in front of the SEC. Our international legal stack is with firms that are working with Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Chase and every large bank in the US. Street & ERC-S stands for quality. It's time to be courageous and provide your token holders with actual value & not just a slop token that has nothing to do with your business.
