It’s crazy how far Apple has fallen

Look, Curtis Sliwa doesn’t care about New York other than as a political vehicle. This is typical of politicians and not surprising. What’s impressive is that Adams actually dropped out! wsj.com/politics/elect…

This is probably the only set of stats from the NY election you really need to know.

Kathy Hochul is the Worst Governor in America. Under her failed leadership, New York is the most unaffordable state in the nation with the highest taxes, highest energy, utilities, rent, and grocery bills. When New Yorkers were looking for leadership from our Governor, she bent

I’m honestly astounded anything kinda works. Very remarkable. Everyone should be more grateful

I was writing some code the new-school way yesterday, prompting gpt-4.1 through aider, and for whatever reason my mind flashed back 50 years and the utter freaking enormity of it all crashed in on me like a tidal wave. And now I want to make you feel that, too. In 1975 I ran

Sad to see Ro Khanna become another politician who has no economic literacy. Now hold my 🥃 Your case for a billionaire wealth tax falls apart on every key point. You say founders like Jensen Huang would not be deterred by a 1 to 2 percent annual tax on unrealized gains because

Ro Khanna Chamath Palihapitiya why not just raise income tax rates? because your real intent is not to just “provide healthcare”. you’re masking that you are proposing the creation of, for the first time in the 250 years of this American republic, an organized government seizure of private property from

NYC's annual budget is twice Tokyo's, and Tokyo's quality of life is about 100 times better than NYC. Tokyo has twice the people. NYC's budget is $120b per year, GREECE spends $85 billion per year and they have A FUCKING ARMY AND A NAVY.

Actually Zohran, there is another ‘revenue lever’ totally within our control, it’s called CUTTING SPENDING. The choice here is not just ‘how to raise taxes’ — the choice is actually between continuing to spend on an endlessly upward trajectory with little benefit, or

Because Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani has no idea how to balance a budget, and the adults in the room won’t let him TAX THE RICH, he’s getting destroyed from every corner of the city on his fantasies to HIKE UP PROPERTY TAXES on homeowners, he’s coming for our safety by proposing to DEFUND &
