> I’ve spoken with several VCs who confidently claim that companies won’t need to hire anyone in the next year or two because AI will handle everything.

VCs jobs rely on following and hyping trends. You can safely discount most things they say by a lot.

> one would have to be rather daft to assume that a country with such absurdly high taxation did not have tax evasion as a key pastime - although probably not as aggressively as in places like the US

The US has lower taxes so by your logic we would have less evasion. Unless you’re making a judgement on Americans.

Same as wearing a MAGA hat in San Francisco or New York City.

You’re being downvoted and I know why: I ran into so many people in the Bay Area that felt that pets were sufficient substitutes for kids. It’s not even remotely the same level of love, emotion, and wholeness.

I was very scared of this happening but it didn’t. I’ll be so sad when they move out but will be exciting to see what they do with their lives.

> The world was good, but the world was no longer full of all these possibilities. What, then, fills the void where possibility once lived?

Children fill this void

Have kids. Scary and a beat down at first but man they’re amazing and give life a whole new meaning.

Really start listening to your body more than you ever have. Little bumps and bruises take longer to heal and can turn into permanent aches/injuries if not treated right.

Maintain your network. Your network is maturing and becoming incredibly value.

Thank goodness! I don’t know how anyone thinks this isn’t a good idea for America.

> Overall, I view this is as an admission to US populace and the world that the US is a weak-minded country that can easily be influenced by propaganda.

That is quite a silly assumption to make

Any recommendations?

And the other side comes in and rabidly tries to bring down the cyber truck. You’re somewhat blind if you can’t see how ironic your statement is.

Being anti cyber truck is also a political statement. It’s just a truck but for some reason it tends to trigger so many people because it’s “ugly” even though there are plenty of ugly cars (G wagons, Kia Souls, new Broncos, etc) that don’t elicit such a strong response.

If you drive a Kia soul I’m not sure your opinion on if a car is hideous is valid.

So effectively offshoring carbon production to places that don’t care?

One is certainly more visibly political while the other is much harder to see. Seems like even you are confused by it.

> despite unlimited levels of political hostility, abuse, and algorithmic shenanigans from the ownership

This was happening before Musk bought it but now that it’s coming from the socially unacceptable side of the political spectrum people don’t like it

We basically had the same scenario then. Trump should be easy to beat if the Dems put up anyone with charisma who seemed normal and likeable. Kamala didn’t have these things and many believe she didn’t deserve the nomination in the first place because of how it went down (no primaries). Dems also pandered to the far left way too much and weirded out many never trumpers and independents but that’s another issue entirely.

> And perhaps just return to running a white male as candidate...

This isn’t why people aren’t voting dem. Did you forgot that Obama was elected? People don’t want to vote dem because Dems have moved significantly to the left and are supporting crazy policies.

> It's the one topic that actually gets bipartisan support.

Gee I wonder why. Every single US senator takes AIPAC lobby money.

It does, thank goodness. Otherwise it would come from Saudi and other despots. We should be producing as much as we can in the US to quit funding horrible regimes.

Why would our planet be dead in 1000 years? And why did you decide to have children if you believe that?

So you think Tesla, PayPal, SpaceX and whatever else succeeded in spite of Elon?

Feel free to stop taking flights, delete your Amazon account, and never buy another plastic-based product again.

Wanting to preserve an existing culture rather than replacing it with others isn’t immoral or wrong.

You could say the same about the South China Sea before the Chinese started building islands out there.

Maybe he meant he doesn’t care about it so he wastes it on super expensive things. Simple definitional misunderstanding

Now Twitter has both left and right propaganda instead of just left wing propaganda. Bummer.

WFH productivity was probably high at first but then people realized they could move to Tahoe and hike/ski during the workday.

Way to stereotype bald, overweight, and 50 year old+ people. This is an absurd post.

Or even less than the % we give to Israel
