I just find it hard to believe that a future trillionaire, who complains about child support for his own kids, will support all of us in the age of abundance with his magic robots and AI that took all of our jobs.

instead of rezoning to allow more homes to be built, I would simply overstate the number of illegal inmigrants by 300% and increase taxes on construction material

JD Vance: "A lot of young people are saying housing is way too expensive. Why is that? Because we flooded the country with 30 million illegal immigrants who were taking houses that ought by right go to American citizens."

What an absurd claim. - First, you think the world’s geniuses shouldn’t be allowed to study here? Prodigies that might shake the foundations of science should be BANNED? Really? - Second, most universities are private, so the State shouldn’t get to determine who attends them!

The ideal number of foreign students in our universities is ZERO. Why would we sell that privilege to anyone—especially our enemies!—to enrich corrupt bureaucrats? So they'll go out of business? Fantastic! Use our taxpayer dollars to build AI training centers in the Heartland.

Man, this is definitely not CGI. UBTECH's shipments this year are around 500 units, and the number shown in the video matches the pace of mass delivery.

Look at the reflections on this bot, then compare them to the ones behind it. The bot in front is real - everything behind it is fake If you see a head unit reflecting a bunch of ceiling lights, that’s a giveaway it’s CGI

This can't be real, even though it says "not teleoperated." The movements are so smooth and the activities so varied. If this is true, China really is ahead of the curve.

Yes, your $350K, 3 bedroom, dream home, in a nice suburban neighborhood had its price driven up by illegal aliens, working for less than minimum wage. Who is stupid enough to believe something so asinine?

“If the proposal goes forward, it would be the latest rollback of one of the president’s key economic policies over growing concerns about affordability.” Administration officials have long insisted tariffs would be paid by foreign exporters, not consumers…

By law, immigration officers cannot arrest people without an administrative warrant unless reasonably believe that the person is likely to flee before a warrant can be served. DHS ignored this requirement in hundreds of cases. Now it'll have to release those people on bond.

Next, another federal judge said he will soon order the release of hundreds of people swept up in the "Operation Midway Blitz" immigration push while it's sorted out if the feds violated a consent decree limiting "warrantless" arrests chicagotribune.com/2025/11/12/fed…

Musk is pivoting from self-driving, claiming Optimus will take $TSLA to a $25 trillion market cap. @Tesla is good at faking demo videos but when Optimus is released into the real world the results are very different. Does this look like an "infinite money glitch" to you?
