Three elementary school kids from Oregon aren’t ever going to celebrate a birthday, open Xmas gifts with their family, laugh and play with their siblings or classmates. If that doesn’t sink in as a huge societal failure then we are lost.

In professional sports there’s the concept of a luxury tax. That’s the mechanism that keeps the rich teams from stacking the odds in their favor; creating a level playing field. Why don’t we care about a level playing field for every day citizens by making sure the rich pay the proper tax?

When I think about the four astronauts on Artemis, I think about all the good things humanity could do if we would just band together and take care of each other. We are all on this big spaceship called Earth after all.

If you are looking for evidence of the moral decay of our society, look no further than the Epstein files. The rich and powerful are telling you to ignore the evidence of your eyes and hate your neighbor instead. All the while they are hurting children…

Today, I am thinking about the families that are about to lose access to food. Especially as a parent, I can’t imagine what this means for children across our country. When feeding hungry kids isn’t a bipartisan policy, we have seriously lost our moral compass.

There are two integral parts to the economy, earnings and consumer spending. When spending is high, earnings are generally high, stock market is up and vice versa. Generally speaking when the economy is bad, spending is down because the labor market is down, people are out of work after all.

I think this is a pretty good bet.

Here’s where we’re headed next: 1. Record number of S&P 500 companies pull full-year earnings guidance. 2. “Jay Powell is artificially costing us trillions of dollars with high interest rates, he must be fired.” 3. “Beautiful phone call with my friend President Xi, we’re making a deal.”

My prediction: tariffs drive recession. rate cuts, tax cuts, and bailouts come next. Tariffs are removed. Economy recovers. National debt goes out of control. More transfer of wealth to the rich. US government and tax payers robbed again.

It’s always like Christmas morning when Open AI releases new toys. However, I get increasingly concerned when I see pricing like $200/mo for access to the best toys. I can’t help but feel this keeps the power of AI in the hands of the privileged.
