    Another interesting thing about our growth is most of it is AI capex. The mag 7 are spending over a billion dollars a day on new data center infrastructure.

    That has exceeded consumer spending as a proportion of growth.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.

      Indeed. I stumbled into investing in Palantir in Jan 2023. It’s up 2100% now so I just sold 1/3 of it. The bubble will burst one day, I think their PE ratio is like 650 or something.

          Nice. Purchasing individual stocks is an inferior strategy to a well balanced mix of funds, except when it’s not.

          Education is extremely important.

            He’s doubling down on the 1500% cut in drug prices.

            Someone asks Grok to explain:

            A 1500% cut means reducing by 15 times the original price, e.g., a $100 drug becomes -$1400—you'd get paid to take it. Yes, that's a lot, but impossible without negative prices. Likely a misstatement; Trump's actual drug price reductions were more modest, around 1-5% annually.

            Thank you for your attention to this matter.

              While I would expect one of the most prominent business people in the world, and in a business that is specifically tied into interest rates and percentages, I would expect better… But… When we are spending 1500% more on drugs than the Phillipines and 400% more than most European countries, I would expect that most of his voters get it…

                Besides, just think about the alternative.
                Is it still better than the alternative?

                    I hate to be pernickity, but could you confirm that when you speak of "the alternative" you are referring to the election of President Kamala Harris, and not the earth being destroyed by a huge fucking meteor?

                    I was only joking

                      It’s always interesting to see how much these otherwise intelligent people are willing to debase themselves in front of their entire profession (and be complicit in harming the American economy) all in service to Donald Trump.

                      Thank you for your attention to this matter.
