This isn’t true and is a nice internet trope. Never mind that “wealth” can evaporate as quickly as it’s created, the numbers don’t make sense at for “borrow until you die”. If you think it does I challenge you to do it. Instead of selling

You realize USAID has been a conduit for CIA activities pretty much since its establishment? I mean the hint is the fact its head sits on the National Security Council. Why does a friendly aid organization need a seat at that table? USAID

Why would pay taxes on paper wealth? That argument is disingenuous but no doubt the author intended it to be.

Nothing is uninsurable for the right premium. And there is plenty that can be done to reduce the fire risk to bring premiums down. CA is hardly the first place to have a high fire risk.

My writing is backed up data and sound arguments. I’m guessing “what your writing merits” says more about your inability to do the same.

Do you feel the same when Biden did it? “ in the days after Joe Biden was inaugurated, data.gov showed about 1,000 datasets being deleted as compared to a day before his inauguration, according to the Wayback Machine.”

Well wait, there isn’t evidence to suggest someone is deleting data, the website is just down. Second, as of last week Trump hasn’t appointed a new Director for the CDC yet. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cdc-who-is-in-ch

No, I telling you the CDC people are the same ones who were there under Biden. They haven't been replaced. They might be replaced, but they haven't been replaced yet. Sure, they might be "scared", but being scared isn&

No, it's malicious complaince. You can read the EO here: https://www.whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/01/defe... Beyond a few specific documents, nothing in there requires the CDC to pull down al

It is terrifying. Especially since the Executive Order didn't require it. Why is the CDC taking down data when it's not required to do so?

Wait a second. The EO in question doesn't require that all mentions of more than two genders be taken down (beyond a few specific policies). The CDC immediately pulls down data that went beyond the requirements of the EO . And now Dem

In no way is “right people” commonly defined as “people who will commit genocide”. These types of arguments aren’t good faith and are actually quite boring.

This seems like an overly paranoid worldview and an attempt to blame me for your "doom and gloom" view of the world. Right people as in "people who will do the job they are paid to do", with the wrong people being "

That's seems like a claim not root in an understanding of how businesses work. If a company invest $3B to become profitable, it seem entirely logical that they can use those expenses to offset any future profit. If you don't don&#

It wasn’t very relevant. First comment asked “we’ll need to wait and see if the admin can deliver”, then next “do we? Or do we have data to go on?” and my comment “he has run several successful businesses” followed by “his character is bad”

This seems like a super important observation. If the number of dataset saw a massive jump (50%), then back down a week later, that seems more like the correction of an error.

Funny how you call it "leveraged" when it's just fund raising. He's built numerous building from scratch. He gathered investors, built, then operated or sold. Sound familiar?

My original comment was "Trump has run several successful businesses, and with a 50+ year career several failures as well". I'm not interested in arguing about the comments someone else made.

The question wasn’t whether he’d “fit in” with YCombinator. But it makes sense that you’re answering every question with another and the one that accused him of being a grapist. You're grasping at straws to avoid admitting he's a

In the 1930’s? Pretty well? How has it worked out since then? I count a 100% failure rate.

Trump has run several successful businesses, and with a 50+ year career several failures as well, which I’d imagine a entrepreneurial board like HN wouldn’t hold against him.
