This video is for Bernie Bro Cenk Uygur. Perhaps it will help him begin his journey to economic literacy. During our debate on Piers Morgan Uncensored, he had a near emotional breakdown about Trump’s corporate tax cuts, reciting the same old tired talking points about “helping your rich donors.”... First off, Cenk, your cult icon Bernie Sanders takes millions of dollars from rich donors. But let’s put that aside. Let’s dissect the basic economics of taxes. Corporations don’t pay taxes, they pass them along. To who? Well, to their employees first of all, especially the most expendable ones. They lay off people or reduce salaries. Businesses also raise prices on their products, because they have to. If they can’t lose any employees or raise prices (market driven decisions, after all), then they’ll just go out of business or at best stop expanding. No more new investments in factories, people, or technologies. When you hike taxes on businesses, it’s ORDINARY AMERICANS who pay the price. Cenk doesn’t get this because he’s a millionaire that never built anything except a platform where he derides millionaires. Kind of ironic. Since he wouldn’t listen to me, maybe President Ronald Reagan can help him out. Reagan took office in 1981, inheriting one of the worst economies in American history from another one-term Democrat. He faced runaway inflation, sky-high interest rates, and rising unemployment—American productivity had been decimated by years of government overreach. Reagan knew that more government wasn’t the solution; it was the problem. Watch him lay it out here.show more

@cenkuygur @PiersUncensored Cenk is a soft, emotional beta male. He’s always screaming and crying.

@cenkuygur @PiersUncensored Classic trickle down argument. Corporations don't pass the tax cut on to employees either they give it out to shareholders in buybacks and dividends. Reaganomics ended in a massive recession from ballooning national debt.

@cenkuygur @PiersUncensored I loved Reagan but natl debt grew by 186% during his admin and we haven’t looked back. Tax breaks for hyper wealthy and corps have burdened our kids, their kids, grandkids w/ insane debt ($103K/per person). Cutting spending isnt the only answer and trickle down econs don’t work.

@cenkuygur @PiersUncensored Corporations used the Trump tax cuts on massive executive compensation packages and stock buy backs — the big shots enriched themselves and did nothing for their employees, consumers or to further the interests of their respective companies.

Reporter: What do you make of Donald Trump’s attack on Kamala Harris’ identity? Shapiro: I think it’s offensive and it’s more of the same from Trump. He attacks other people based on what they look like or who they pray to or who they love.. He tries to divide Americans because he struggles with uplifting all Americans. I think it shows profound weakness.. Attacking the identity of the VP doesn’t at all reflect negatively on the VP but shows a real insecurity about Trump. This guy is nervous as hell to face Kamala Harris. He’s already trying to back out of the debate. Part of that is because he knows she’s going to whoop him in the debate… There’s another reason why he really doesn’t want to debate her and doesn’t really want to have a conversation about the issues. It’s because he can’t defend his record. He has a record of failure…I think Donald Trump’s attacks speak volumes about the kind of coward that he is, about his own failings, and say nothing about the great qualifications of the VP

You can set your watch to it. New York City’s new Mayor, Zohran Mamdani, just announced the city is in a massive $12 BILLION financial hole. To fill the hole, he is pushing to raise income taxes on top earners and hike the corporate tax rate to 11.5% making NYC the highest-tax jurisdiction for earners in the entire country. He claims he talked to a millionaire who said they "wouldn't leave" over a tax hike. But economists (and common sense) warn that businesses and wealth are already packing their bags. He ran on "affordability," but it looks like the first order of business is making the city more expensive for the people who pay the bills.

New York is FINISHED 🚨 Zohran Mamdani plans on making new laws saying IT DOESN’T MATTER WHERE COMPANIES ARE HEADQUARTERED, if you do business in New York THEY MUST PAY HIS NEW INCREASED CORPORATE TAX RATE Businesses CAN’T RELOCATE to lower taxed states to save money “What I've proposed is that we raise $10 billion to pay for our entire economic agenda and start to Trump proof our city, because we know he'll use federal funding as leverage over this city. And we will do so in two key ways. The first is to match the state's top corporate tax rate to that of New Jersey. We are at 7.25%. They're at 11.5%. Corporations can pay it over there, they can pay it over here. And the beauty of it is that it doesn't just apply to corporations headquartered in New York City, because when you say this, people will say, well, they're going to go to Florida. Wherever you are headquartered, as long as you do business in the state of New York, you are taxable for that corporate tax. — The second is taxing the top 1% of New Yorkers. We're talking about people who make a million dollars a year or more, taxing them just by a flat 2% tax increase.”

Breaking down the new software tax impact on businesses that California Democrats met in the middle of the night to force through and pass “This is insane — while you were sleeping, politicians in Sacramento went for your wallet again. They just passed legislation to increase your taxes again. Starting in 2027, California starts taxing the software you run your business on, your books, your bookings, your payroll for the very first time. That is a new 7 to 10% tax on the tools that you literally can't operate your business without and small businesses have nowhere to hide from it. This is why Small businesses keep collapsing under the pressure of California and Democratic policies in California. The politicians in Sacramento have stopped caring and representing the people” Let me break down the real cost of this to businesses For a: Small business this is about $1,500+ per year in new taxes Medium size business this is about 15,000+ per year more in new taxes For a large business they are looking at potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars more per year Unfortunately there’s no way to stop Democrats in California because they rig their elections with mail in ballots so you can’t vote them out

Try and make it make sense. Yesterday will be the day in history when Trump made the poor destitute, the middle class poor, leaving the rich planning how to invest their new ill gotten gains in a new yacht or some overseas tax haven. Wun Dum Fuc about to literally suck billions out of the real economy for billionaires to hoard. Trump is not wrong, the treasury will see an influx of hundreds of billions of dollars, but it will be hundreds of billions made up of YOUR hard earned cash. NOT money from China, Canada or Europe. Republicans have spent decades claiming to be the party of fiscal responsibility. And they have just put in place the biggest transfer of wealth in American history and had a party on the White House lawn to celebrate. If a Dem president had just put your taxes up as a family by $5000, Republicans would be losing their minds today and Fox News would be playing their outrage on a loop. But because they’ve just arranged to steal the money from middle and low income families, they are celebrating and calling it ‘Liberation Day’. They should be calling it ‘Fiscal Subjugation Day’ All they’ve done, is liberate $5000 from the bank account of every working family in America, in the biggest act of deception in modern American history. This is not me spreading misinformation. It’s a simple FACT. He lied to voters on the campaign trail when he said he would lower the cost of living. He’s just done the opposite and has the audacity to call the catastrophe about to hit the bottom 95% of Americans, ‘minor disruption’. He’s convinced millions of people who swallowed his lies, it’s a small price to pay for bread and water tomorrow. Just pause to think about that for a moment. This is a president who is quite literally about to take food from the mouths of hungry children in America, while tanking an economy that was the envy of the world following the pandemic. Ask yourself this simple question, who benefits most in times of crisis and economic instability? Rest assured, it ain’t the middle or working class. If you are on a fixed low income in America today, you are part of Donald Trump’s ‘Final Solution’. If you’re a millionaire or a billionaire, you’re planning which tax haven to stash the proceeds of crime in, from the biggest fiscal criminal act in modern times. In Trump’s Robin Hood tale, the Sheriff of Nottingham is having a banquet today while the merry men in his thiefdom prepare to starve. There’s no ‘happy ever after’ in this horror movie. It took Joe Biden four years to put America in economic pole position in the world. It’s taken Wun Dum Fuc, eight weeks to burn it to the ground on a Casino bet, with the lowest economic odds of success in modern history. Let’s remind ourselves, how did his last Casino venture go? Well now America is his new casino bet. The wheel is spinning and Trump has placed all YOUR chips (because let’s face it, he never bets with his own money), on 0. Oh and did I mention, Russia and Belarus got no tariffs. This brings a whole new meaning to the term ‘Russian Roulette’. Remember, there’s just one bullet in the chamber, he’s just spun it and the gun is at the side of YOUR head not his or any of his rich friends. Hold your breath America. Tick, tock, tick tock, tick tock. 🎥 TikTok -

How Jeffrey Epstein rose from maths nerd, to a financial fixer for elites, to the boss of blackmail: ‘If you look at Epstein’s operation, what it looks like to me is that it’s a criminal operation on a number of different levels. Epstein is an interesting case because where does he come from? Well, he doesn’t come from a wealthy family. He doesn’t come from an influential family. He was a Long Island kid who was good at mathematics…he was a kind of smart, nerdy kid who made friends by doing their math homework. You’re not popular because you’re a jock. You’re not popular necessarily because you’re that good-looking or you dance well. You’re popular because you can do other people’s math homework and get them to pass. His whole career is ingratiating himself to wealthy, powerful people. What did he do as a financial advisor? Look at it. Just stand back and look at what he did. And what he did was that he helped them dodge taxes. He also helped them hide money. He could help people discover money that had been hidden abroad. He could help them hide money. If you do one, you can do the other. And that’s how he moved as a kind of fixer and arranger into the realm of the rich and powerful. And in that process, either he or other people who were working with him found out that these people can be compromised in a number of ways. And so then you start installing cameras in your residences, in the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There’s only one reason you do that. It’s fairly simple. The only reason why you collect all of this video information on your rich and powerful friends is to potentially use it as leverage against them. You don’t have to actually use it. You simply have to make them aware that you have it and could use it.’ -Prof. Richard Spence on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW:

$BREAKING: I followed the trail of Mark Carney’s money-laundering scheme I’m writing to you from a tax haven called the Isle of Man. I’ve never seen any place quite like it. It’s a little island between Ireland and the UK, home to 85,000 people. And it’s famous for two things: its annual motorcycle race, and billionaires avoiding their taxes. That’s why I’m here: because two and a half years ago Mark Carney set up a shell company to avoid paying taxes in Canada. The Isle of Man has very few taxes — no capitals gains tax, no inheritance tax, no wealth tax. Income tax is just 22%. Corporate taxes are 10% or less. But the Isle of Man does something more important: it allows oligarchs from around the world to pay taxes on their global income to the Isle of Man. So they can operate around the world, but choose to pay a fraction of their real tax obligation in the Isle of Man. And perhaps the most important feature of the Isle of Man’s tax scheme is the secrecy. Anyone can set up shell companies hiding the true ownership of any business. That’s why this place is full of Russian oligarchs, international drug dealers and semi-legal online casinos. They can hide their tracks. Which brings us to Mark Carney, the chairman of Brookfield Asset Management until just a few weeks ago. He set up a complex corporate structure to avoid paying Canadian taxes. To him, taxes are for the little people. In the video, I show how I searched the corporate registry to find Brookfield IOM’s address, and to find the identity of their sole director: an 88-year-old man named Leslie Commins. The registry gave the address of Brookfield IOM’s headquarters, but it wasn’t in an office tower, or an office at all — it was just Leslie’s small apartment. Of course, 88-year-old Leslie Commins isn’t the real owner of Brookfield IOM. He’s what they call a “straw man”. Of course his apartment isn’t the world headquarters of Brookfield IOM. Of course the whole thing is a sham, to pretend that Brookfield IOM does business in the Isle of Man, so it can pay its global taxes there. Hey, wouldn’t it be nice if you could do that? If you ran a barber shop, or farm, or restaurant, and instead of paying all the taxes and regulations Canada piles onto you, you could just have a guy in the Isle of Man saying that’s your world headquarters, so you’ll pay all your taxes there? It’s obviously tax avoidance, which is why so many shady characters put their money in the Isle of Man. Like Mark Carney. I thought it was eye-opening to see how casually the man who was “selected” to become our prime minister, engages in unethical tax-dodging for his well-connected friends. And remember, Carney has never answered where he personally paid taxes last year, or the year before, or the year before that. Did he pay them in the Isle of Man, or some other tax haven? Obviously that’s a question that the CBC would never ask. (I put eight questions to the Liberal Party in writing today, but obviously they wouldn’t answer these questions, no matter who asks them.) We’ll keep at it. REPORT by Ezra Levant 🍁🚛:$

Yes on the videos we have so far. The initial encounter was him filming them. There was no gun being brandished. They jumped out of vehicles to go to try to intimidate him. Unfortunately there's no video yet between then and when they had them on the ground. When they had him on the ground they were pistol whipping him, at first it looked like a baton, but it's actually a gun. They had him down with at least five officers. You got to wait for a second so he tried to stand up they shot him in the back he was motionless after they shot him in the back. Then there were four more shots or more after that unloaded into his body from a posture of standing above him. Not a defensive posture. He's supposedly has a gun. It looks like ICE took something out of a holster. So it's likely that he did have a HOLSTERED GUN in an open carry state that is not a reason to shoot someone to death. He was not brandishing it -- again it was his camera. That was the reason for the initial approach was to intimidate him about his camera. It is perfectly legal to film ice This is out not murder once again. Now there is some sort of speculation on social that a gun was dropped and a bullet went off. That would be the ICE AGENTS who took the gun out of his holster. I'll post some videos for people to see in the order that they happened.

When people say things like ‘Why are people worried about wealth taxes that will never affect them’ it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how the economy works and why even people who aren’t rich, don’t want wealth taxes. Wealthy people like it or not, are amongst the most economically productive people in our country, the top 1% of earners contribute 30% of our income tax receipts. The top 1% are responsible for approx 340,000 jobs in the economy etc. Wealthy people are also best placed to restructure their tax affairs to avoid wealth taxes and the most geographically mobile in our country, leaving for them is as easy as rearranging dates in their calendar. There is a wealth of comparative data from other countries showing wealth taxes are economically damaging, difficult to implement, expensive to administer and never raise the levels of taxes promised. There is no country in world that has ever raised anywhere near the £25 billion cited as the potential amounts that would be raised from an annual wealth tax. If the wealthy leave that impacts our tax base, which inevitably means that everyone else who isn’t wealthy, has to pay more tax. If they leave they will shift their strategic focus and capital to wherever they go, which means that money that would otherwise would have been invested in the UK will go elsewhere. This is precisely why other countries like Italy have tax regimes specially designed to incentivise wealthy people to come, they understand that having wealthy people is great for tax receipts, job creation and economic growth. It’s very disingenuous to assume the reason why people don’t support wealth taxes is because they believe they will one day be in the 1%. They don’t support wealth taxes for the most part because they understand they simply do not work. Zack Polanski is a dangerous man who isn’t even clear in his own mind why we need wealth taxes. His commitment to wealth taxes is ideological rather than evidence based. In the interview he explains that there’s a lot of the wealth in the city of London yet at the same time maintains that wealth taxes aren’t needed for raising tax revenues but are principally for reducing wealth inequality. So you mean to tell me the goal is the force some of the most economically productive people to leave so that we can all be poorer collectively but be more equal? In a country where 53% of households take more out of the state in benefits than they put in, what do you think will happen to the tax burden for working /middle class people if the top 1% leave or restructure their tax affairs in such as way that reduces their exposure to the UK. We are already at a post world war high when it comes to the tax burden and we are in real time seeing the damage it is doing to business and investor confidence in the UK economy. Yet you somehow think that levying even more taxes will have no impact on ordinary people?

When people say things like ‘Why are people worried about wealth taxes that will never affect them’ it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how the economy works and why even people who aren’t rich, don’t want wealth taxes. Wealthy people like it or not, are amongst the most economically productive people in our country, the top 1% of earners contribute 30% of our income tax receipts. The top 1% are responsible for approx 340,000 jobs in the economy etc. Wealthy people are also best placed to restructure their tax affairs to avoid wealth taxes and the most geographically mobile in our country, leaving for them is as easy as rearranging dates in their calendar. There is a wealth of comparative data from other countries showing wealth taxes are economically damaging, difficult to implement, expensive to administer and never raise the levels of taxes promised. There is no country in world that has ever raised anywhere near the £25 billion cited as the potential amounts that would be raised from an annual wealth tax. If the wealthy leave that impacts our tax base, which inevitably means that everyone else who isn’t wealthy, has to pay more tax. If they leave they will shift their strategic focus and capital to wherever they go, which means that money that would otherwise would have been invested in the UK will go elsewhere. This is precisely why other countries like Italy have tax regimes specially designed to incentivise wealthy people to come, they understand that having wealthy people is great for tax receipts, job creation and economic growth. It’s very disingenuous to assume the reason why people don’t support wealth taxes is because they believe they will one day be in the 1%. They don’t support wealth taxes for the most part because they understand they simply do not work. Zack Polanski is a dangerous man who isn’t even clear in his own mind why we need wealth taxes. His commitment to wealth taxes is ideological rather than evidence based. In the interview he explains that there’s a lot of the wealth in the city of London yet at the same time maintains that wealth taxes aren’t needed for raising tax revenues but are principally for reducing wealth inequality.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, says that US Government raising taxes doesn’t do anything to help the average American He says raising taxes does nothing because Congress just launders the money to their friends, special interest groups and “17,000 lobbying groups” “I don't know anyone, and you guys in the room, you might be Democrats, Republicans who thinks that sending another trillion dollars to Washington D.C will actually improve anything. So when you say raise taxes, if you said raise taxes and directly give it to the people who need it, do it. That does not happen. It goes to all these interest groups, and they give it to their friends and all that.” “Which is why the people are considered a swamp. It's kind of a swamp, the 17,000 lobbying groups. But bank companies are guilty too. They're just fighting for their one self-interest as opposed to what's good for my country”

RFK Jr: “If we were gonna go to war, say WW2 … they had to go to the public and say we’re gonna raise taxes to pay for this war” “They wouldn’t have supported it for Vietnam. They wouldn’t have supported it for Iraq. They wouldn’t have supported it for Ukraine. Or, they had to … sell war bonds, which was another way of getting the public to pay the cost of war. But they had to be straight about it. Everybody had skin in the game. Now, they don’t have to do that at all. They don’t even declare war. They just say we’re gonna spend $200 billion on a war with Russia, but we’re gonna get Ukraine to bring the war, we’re gonna kill 600,000 of their kids in a war we can’t win. We’re gonna be able to sell all our weapons to Ukraine. So, BlackRock owns Northrop Grumman, General Dynamics, Boeing, Lockheed, all of the military contractors, they’re making the money on the war. They have the contract for rebuilding Ukraine, they’re gonna make another half trillion on that. And they’re the big donor to the Democrat and Republican Party. This whole thing is fixed and it’s rigged, and they don’t even have to come to us and say we’re gonna have another one of these wars. They just print the money. It’s all a very incestuous and corrupt problem. Bitcoin is not only an off-ramp to this inflationary highway, which is the highway to hell, but it’s also a way of restoring integrity to our government. It’s a way of restoring personal freedoms. The middle class can insulate itself from inflation, which is just a form of government theft. I’m gonna do a basket of hard currencies, platinum and gold and other hard currencies, and begin issuing at least a class of Treasury bills that are anchored to hard currency, let’s say the first year 1%, and then maybe the next year 2% and watch how that goes. I would like to have the federal government begin to buy Bitcoin and over my term in office, ultimately have an equivalent amount of Bitcoin that we have gold. If we want to save our democracy, we need to decentralize it.”

Peter Lynch on why predicting the market is a waste of your time: The pitch is simple. Stop trying to forecast the economy, and start studying what the market has actually done. Lynch is blunt about where investors waste their energy. People try to predict the stock market, which he calls a total waste of time because no one can do it. They try to predict interest rates too, but as he points out, if anyone could call interest rates correctly three times in a row, they would be a billionaire, and there simply are not that many billionaires on the planet. The economy is no easier. During the high inflation and unemployment of 1981 and 1982, no one predicted the worst recession since the Depression. His conclusion on macro forecasting is sharp: "If you spend 14 minutes a year on economics, you've wasted 12 minutes." The point is not that this information would be useless. Of course it would help to know what the market or interest rates will do next. The problem is that you never actually get to learn it in advance. Even Alan Greenspan, Lynch notes, cannot predict long-term interest rates. So where should your attention go instead? Toward specific, knowable facts tied to the businesses you own. Scrap prices. Hotel occupancy rates. The price of ethylene. Aluminum inventories. Home affordability and housing stock data. The unglamorous details that actually tell you something about a company's reality. Then comes the part most investors get emotionally wrong. Lynch argues you should study history so you stop being surprised when the market falls, because it falls constantly. The numbers he lays out: In the last 93 years, there have been 50 declines of 10% or more. That means a correction shows up roughly once every two years. Of those 50 declines, 15 were 25% or more. Those are bear markets, and they arrive about every six years. His framing flips the usual fear on its head. Declines are not the threat. They are the opportunity, because they let you buy companies you understand at lower prices. He is also clear-eyed about the people who claim to have seen each drop coming. They often predict these events dozens of times before one finally happens.

Van Hollen: And as we were talking, one of the government people came over and deposited two other glasses on the table with ice.. they looked like margaritas and if you look at the one they put in front of Kilmar, it actually had a little less liquid than the one in front of me. To try to make it look, I assume, like he drank out of it… But this is a lesson into the lengths that President Bukele will do to deceive people about what's going on and it shows the lengths that the trump administration, the president will go to because when he was asked about a reporter about this, he just went along for the ride. So, the white house and the president have been lying about this case from the beginning

The scary part is that Stephen A Smith strong suit is supposed to be basketball. It’s just embarrassing. This is the guy you give all this money to and he doesn’t even know the basic facts about a team. ESPN can sit here all day and tell me his ratings. People are “hate watching”. Or even worse, they are watching to mock how bad it is. It’s akin to the later years of Mike Francesa at WFAN. Where people watched to hear the crank calls or to watch him falling asleep at the mic. It’s getting to that level of bad for ESPN when it comes to SAS. I don’t know anybody that watches him because they think they are getting anything substantive out of him. And that isn’t sustainable. I say it all the time. People don’t know what they like, they like what they know. Not. One. Person.

Tell me again how the victims of this storm don’t need any help? There are people that have di€d just lying there. There are people trapped with no water or food. Governor Josh Stein where are you? Why are people in authority threatening to put quailfied people in jail when all they want to do is just help. I’m seeing video after video of people who are equipped to help in a situation like this. Why are they not allowed to help? Is it better to just let these people die? To top it off, another hurricane is forming. If it takes the same path, what will these people do? If anyone had any delusions that your whether or not your government cares about you, this should eliminate all of those erroneous thoughts.

Jeff Bezos makes a powerful case for ZERO taxes on hard-working, low-income Americans. He said the government shouldn’t be asking a nurse in Queens making $75,000 to send ANY money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology instead. BEZOS: “A nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year pays more than $12,000 a year in taxes.” “Does that really make sense?” “So people talk about making the tax system more progressive. How about we start by having the nurse in Queens NOT pay taxes?” “Why is a nurse in Queens who makes $75,000 a year paying more than $1,000 a month in taxes?” “That’s $1,000 a month that could help with rent or groceries or anything.” “And by the way, do you know what that all adds up to? The bottom half of income earners in this country pay only 3% of the taxes. It’s only 3%!” “We can find 3%. So we don’t have...it’s a small amount of money for the government. You know that.” “And the more I thought about it, to me, it’s kind of absurd that we’re doing this.” “We shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington — they should be sending her an apology!” “It really makes no sense.”

Marc Andreessen: “I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices.” “We spend a lot of time working with our companies on pricing,” a16z co-founder Marc Andreessen explains. “It’s really this magical art and science that a lot of companies don’t take seriously enough.” Marc continues: “A core principle of pricing is that you don’t want to price by cost if you can avoid it. You want to price by value. Especially when you’re selling to businesses, you want to price as a percentage of the business value you’re creating.” He gives the example of building an AI that can do the job of a programmer, a lawyer, or a radiologist: “Can you price by value and get a percentage of what otherwise would’ve literally been a person? Or equivalently can you price by marginal productivity? If you can take a human doctor and make them much more productive because you give them AI, can you price as a percentage of the productivity uplift?” Marc argues that high prices are under-appreciated by founders: “The naive view on pricing is the lower the pricing, the better it is for the customer. The more sophisticated way of looking at it is that higher prices are often good for the customer because the higher price means the vendor can make the product better, faster. Companies with higher prices and higher margins can actually invest more in R&D and make the product better. Most people who buy things aren’t just looking for the cheapest price. They want something that’s going to work really well.” Marc also emphasizes this point in an interview in Elad Gil’s High Growth Handbook: “What I hear from companies is, ‘Oh, we have an awesome moat, and we’re still going to price our product cheap, because we think that’s somehow going to maximize our business.’ I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. I’m always urging founders to raise prices, raise prices, raise prices. First of all, raising prices is a great way to flesh out whether you actually do have a moat. If you do have a moat, the customers will still buy, because they have to. The definition of a moat is the ability to charge more. And so number one, it’s just a good way to flesh out that topic and really expose it to sunlight. And then number two, companies that charge more can better fund both their distribution efforts and their ongoing R&D efforts. Charging more is a key lever to be able to grow. And the companies that charge more therefore tend to grow faster. That’s counterintuitive to a lot of engineers. A lot of engineers think there’s a one-dimensional relationship between price and value. They have this mental model of commerce like they’re selling rice or something. It’s like, “My product is magical and nobody can replicate it, and I need to price it like it’s a commodity.” No, you don’t. In fact, quite the opposite. If you price it high, then you can fund a much more expensive sales and marketing effort, which means you’re much more likely to win the market, which means you’re much more likely to be able afford to do all the R&D and acquisitions you’re going to want to do. And so we always try to snap people into a two-dimensional mindset, where higher prices equals faster growth.” Video source: a16z (2026)
