I buy a bagel sandwhich everytime I roll through MPLS. Since I don't work there, I'll have to find somewhere else to eat now. RIP @Brueggers we had a good run.

Was drinking with a British Army bro and he's telling me about getting hammered with some Michigan political guy named after a grocery store and said he ripped a stunning 12 minute karaoke set of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and I just know that's gotta be @PeterMeijer 😂
Cracked a rib at 3am on Veterans Day in NYC, I guess it's been a while since I properly celebrated my holiday lmao

It is amazing that Uber is becoming the thing they had to fight (cabbie/medallion lobby) for the business model to work (reduce wage margins) and now want to prevent the next leap of innovation. Round and round we go..
Uber is pulling off a masterstroke, and you're too blind to see it because you're a pandering YouTuber desperate for clicks and views.
Wake up and do better.
Protecting workers in the short and mid-term is the only way society will embrace AVs at scale in the long-term.
Uber is the one player that regulators can work with to ensure that tens of millions of drivers don't lose their jobs over the next decade.
By slowly rolling out AVs as a soft landing for human drivers, we can keep society from burning WAYMOS in the streets.
Are you not watching data centers being blocked?
If you weren't so biased, you would understand that China (CHINA!!!) has stopped giving out AV licenses because of their concern over job loss.
Job loss for DoorDashers, truck drivers and ride-sharing participants will be acute if regulators don't license AVs slowly and thoughtfully.
Everyone understands this but you!
You are far too biased in your thinking, Farzad... To be a true analyst, you need to stop thinking about your book, clicks, and affiliate codes, and level up to think about AV deployment globally.
One flight to NYC and I'm ready to join @kaylahaas jihad against awful passengers.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy centered on individual liberty, consent of the governed, political equality, and the rule of law.
The right wing political influencer wars may look like a blame game following a generational loss but really it's just a fight over market share ahead of the next paid campaign. No one has learned anything and no one will.
An 18% flat tax would produce the same tax revenue, if anyone is interested in everyone paying their fair share.
THE IRS JUST RELEASED THE NEW 2027 🇺🇸 TAX BRACKETS. HERE'S HOW THEY WORK IN PLAIN ENGLISH
Every bracket got a little bigger to keep up with inflation, so you can earn a bit more before moving into a higher rate.
Step 1: Take what you earn and subtract the standard deduction. That part isn't taxed at all.
- Single: $16,600
- Married: $33,200
Step 2: Whatever's left gets taxed in layers.
Single filers:
- 10% on your first $12,800
- 12% on income up to $52,025
- 22% up to $109,125
- 24% up to $208,325
- 32% up to $264,550
- 35% up to $661,375
- 37% on anything above that
Married couples: the cutoffs are roughly double ($25,600, $104,050, $218,250, $416,650, $529,100, $793,650).
Example: You're single and earn $76,600. Subtract $16,600 and you're taxed on $60,000.
- 10% on the first $12,800 = $1,280
- 12% on the next $39,225 = $4,707
- 22% on the last $7,975 = $1,755
Total: about $7,742 in federal income tax, or roughly 10% of what you earned.
Even though you're "in" the 22% bracket, only your last $7,975 gets taxed at 22%.
Hero. Patriot.
For over an hour in 15-foot waves, a Master EOD Tech saved five airmen from drowning.
On June 26, 2021, while stationed in Turkey, Senior Master Sgt. Joseph Riemer, an Air Force Explosive Ordnance Disposal technician, was on a boat trip in the Aegean Sea when a sudden, violent storm trapped several fellow Airmen in churning waters with near-zero visibility and strong currents.
Without hesitation, Riemer dove in multiple times over the course of more than an hour, battling the waves to reach the stranded Airmen, equipping them with flotation devices, and hauling them to safety via a safety line and ultimately saving five lives.
When later asked what was going through his mind, he simply replied, “I’m an EOD technician, and EOD technicians solve complex problems.”
His selfless actions earned him the Airman’s Medal, a testament to the quiet courage of those who protect others far beyond the bomb suit.
Week five of # 4s kindergarten teacher writing me an email threatening to kick him out over shooting space aliens with finger guns. Ma'am he is a 5yo boy raised in a military house. Ignoring the 1st & 2nd amendment issues here idk what you want me to do he's defending earth.
With a blue wave like this the Democrats could lead on things that the American voters want and enjoy a long run of leadership. Going Salem witch trials on your opponents is great for TikTok clips but in 2024 voters rejected that practice, among other misplaced priorities.

Well, I sure am glad that election is over with. Now we can get a brief respite before presidential primary season starts next week.
