twocents began as a social network where your username is your net worth. We executed a roadmap to bring all the social features you would expect, like feeds, followers, group chats, DMs, and more.
Along the way, we built integrations with major banks, credit cards, mortgage lenders, and credit institutions. We allowed you to connect both your assets and your debt, as well as the shares in your brokerages and the tokens in your crypto wallets. More recently, we rolled out the Transactions tab, allowing you to see all the purchases and deposits that make up your bank accounts and credit cards.
Now, we have Social Budgeting. My favorite feature is the Average Spend Indicator, allowing you to compare how much you're spending on categories like Rent and Groceries to everyone else on twocents.
twocents has come a long way. If you tried it a while back, you should try it again. If you're new, welcome to the party!

NEW: The U.S. has burned through so many munitions in Iran that some administration officials increasingly assess that America couldn’t fully execute contingency plans to defend Taiwan from a Chinese invasion if it occurred in the near term, U.S. officials said.

Multipolarity and the defensive retreat of the US will lead to anarchy.
If you didn’t like Pax Americana, you’ll sure as hell hate what comes after.

Nearly 28 THOUSAND missiles to be acquired in 5 years. Now THAT is a large purchase. This is designed to give Rapid Dragon (missiles dropped from pallets pushed off the back of a cargo plane) serious teeth.
In FY 2027, the US Air Force is requesting $55 Million in discretionary and $300 Million in mandatory (reconciliation) funds for the Family of Affordable Mass Missile (FAMM) to procure 1,000 All Up Rounds covering both the Palletized (FAMM-P) and Lugged (FAMM-L) variants. The FAMM-L will be integrated onto the F16 using three vendors (Zone 5 Technologies, CoAspire & Anduril Industries). The USAF plans to buy a total of 27,910 FAMM-P/L cruise missiles over the FYDP. ⤵️

We need to internalize that we are really bad at most stuff related to the physical economy compared to the Asian baseline, only then can we seriously attempt to get better
Jerking off about how sick the SR-71 was is unpatriotic at this point, what we need rn is honesty

You clearly have never driven a Genesis. That's like pointing to a 911 sticker and saying $150k is crazy for a VW.

Los Angeles’s economy is based on aerospace and shipping. Entertainment is a rounding error.
"The nightmare scenario is playing out in Los Angeles, where a century-old entertainment economy is evaporating with no signs of a turnaround on the horizon. Many worry Hollywood will soon resemble Detroit after the decline of the auto industry"

Proud to announce that Phobos, the second @AetheroSpace satellite, was successfully launched to orbit earlier this morning
We’re partnered with @BoozAllen on this mission to demonstrate capabilities for adaptive event detection using high-fidelity Earth observation data collected on orbit
This will enable satellites to achieve faster, smarter, decision-making on orbit, and is a major step towards building the orbital intelligence layer for defense needs!
