Big boss Trump is so skilled, he got his enemies fighting each other. I got an idea. This here is Hunter talking shit sober. I say we get him back on crack and see what else he has to say.

Yes. In fact, the simplest solution to making housing more affordable, and thus alleviating some of the resentment of the youth, is the correct one which is to just build more homes. The reason this doesn’t happen however is much more complicated. First, consider the nature of the city. Suburban commuters commute every day into the city for work but since they don’t live there, they cannot vote there to increase housing supply. Second consider those with voting power in the city. On one hand you have landlords who do not want more housing built and renters who do want more housing built. Surely, renters out number landlords. So why don’t they just vote to increase housing? Because of a mix of corruption and bureaucratic obfuscation. Landowners need only expend enough lobbying capital to outweigh the numerical advantage of renters. The renters also being more numerous makes them harder to coordinate. In other words, a “noble cause” must be invented to subvert the vote of part of the renters to the landlords’ cause. Building a house here will hurt the environment. Building a skyscraper there will put local coffee shops out of business as the area gets manhattenized and Starbucks comes in. Eventually, lots of arbitrary rules and regulations are put in place which don’t actually prohibit building new housing but makes it unnecessarily difficult and costly. This obfuscation makes it difficult for renters to even understand what is preventing new housing from being built. They can’t actually vote to allow new housing to be built because technically building new housing isn’t prohibited. They have to dig through the labyrinthine maze of regulations to finally understand that they need to vote to fuck over the delta smelt or whatever for rents and housing prices to go down. Basically an impossible task. It gets worse. Because if that isn’t possible, what is possible? Something simple to understand but actually counterproductive. Rent control and greater hurdles for eviction. Renters basically vote themselves into greater shortages and higher rents. This is the world we live in.

And honestly, the crackhead comes off as more likable than any of the DINO candidates.

Listen to treasury boss Bessent.

Not even half way to the top.

Leave him in space. The Sun belongs in space.

Yes, in fact, the dems should run a crackhead as their candidate for 2028.

Like I said, weak JPY => more foreigners go to Japan for vacation => the Japanese feeling some type of way => rise of nationalism.

Well that strategy makes no sense whatsoever because obviously republicans are going to win the presidency for 2028 so they would have to wait until at least 2032. The dems are just going to run a throwaway candidate for 2028. Newsom is too old guard plus there is no center left to win as polarization in the populace continues. AOC isn’t smart enough and the left populists haven’t won the dem civil war yet to be able to take control of the DNC and hence fundraising. Mamdani isn’t ripe yet and similar issues as AOC with the DNC. Shapiro, like Newsom, is too centrist and old guard but with less name recognition. Buttigieg, same as those two but also he already had his chance and the dems don’t want to risk running a previous loser. On top of that, all of them would get slaughtered by Vance in the debates and the podcast circuit. The left needs at least one more cycle to brew.

Even if OpenAI fights off all the incoming lawsuits, they will be forced to change their algo away from abstract-mystical affirmation slop which will hurt their growth rate and user retention, crushing valuation. It will also be a nice windfall for other AI competitors as they soak up the market share.
