Terrific presentation of the looming Social Security crisis.
Pro tip: start collecting at age 62. You won't even break even until age ~84 by waiting, and the program is already in trouble 4 years from now.
ONLY FOOLS AND SUCKERS DELAY TAKING SOCIAL SECURITY
My latest explainer video premieres at 7 pm ET!
We've been paying into Social Security for decades. Now the retirement fund is on track to run dry in 2032, and benefits could be cut by 22% if nothing changes.
So where did all that money go, and why hasn't Washington fixed this? I break down how we got here and what happens next.

Pro tip #3: start collecting at 62, and if you don't need the money right away, and BItcoin makes you nervous, then shovel it all into $SATS (15% fixed yield).
vs the pathetic 2% to 3% Social Security COLA adjustments each year, you get 12% to 13% more return than waiting to collect.
Or, shovel half into Bitcoin and half into $SATS and/or $SATA and/or $STRC.
By age 84, you'll have another $2M or so vs social security at full retirement age (depends on your benefit amount, and which investment routes you take).
Of course they did.
Follow the money.
Brianne Dressen just declared that the FDA and CDC knew the truth about Covid shot injuries by early 2021.
This cover-up was even worse than you think.
“Tinnitus.”
“Elevated heart rate.”
“Trigeminal neuralgia.”
“Prickling.”
“Numbness.”
“Limb weakness.”
“Vision issues.”
“Irritation with the ears.”
“The FDA was getting these signals from inside.”
“The CDC was getting these signals from the V-Safe data.”
“VAERS was getting completely buried.”
“In any other world, this new condition would have been heavily medically documented by now.”
“All of these things were identified in Szarfman’s safety signals that she alerted to her boss Peter Marks.”
“But because the word vaccine is involved, it for some reason can’t be approached honestly, rationally at all.”

In 1994, the evening news reported on a "conspiracy theory" the FDA still won't talk about.
Two parents whose son was crippled by a DPT shot dug through the FDA’s own data, found his lot—and discovered 7 children had died after shots from it before him and 3 more after. The FDA never recalled the lot (despite privately talking to the manufacturers) and to do this day, hot lots continue to enter the market they deny exist. 🧵

We often scrutinize what we eat. But what about the fabrics pressed against our skin all day, every day?
Clothes surround us while we’re awake. Sheets surround us while we sleep.
Yet we rarely consider the fabrics, dyes and detergents we spend our lives in contact with.
My sensitive patients have taught me to pay attention. Here I explain how clothing can affect your health and what to consider changing: midwesterndoctor.com/p/how-y…

Another genius of our age knew his invention was so revolutionary that he had to hide his identity and remove any link between himself and his gift to the world.
Satoshi Nakamoto and Bitcoin.
Recently I was talking with a friend about universal geniuses. And something struck me.
Florence, 1480–1510. Same city, same moment: Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Machiavelli, Botticelli, Pico della Mirandola. Raphael right behind them. They walked the same streets.
Europe, 1600–1700. Galileo, Kepler, Descartes, Pascal, Huygens, Newton, Leibniz. In two generations, we got calculus, modern mechanics, probability theory, and the scientific method.
Athens, 470–320 BC. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Sophocles, Phidias, Thucydides. One century, one city, and the foundations of Western thought were laid.
Europe, 1890–1930. Poincaré, Hilbert, Einstein, Marie Curie, Tesla, Planck, Bohr, then von Neumann.
Always the same pattern. In every great era, the West had 15 to 20 minds of this caliber alive at the same time. People who could touch everything and push the frontier of several fields at once.
Today we have one. Just one. Elon Musk.
And Elon is an anomaly.
Not in the sense that he shouldn't exist. In the sense that the world we built is designed so that someone like him never emerges. Statistically, he shouldn't be here.
Because what forged Elon was an absolutely insane move.
October 2002. eBay buys PayPal. Elon walks away with roughly $180M. Anyone else buys an island and never works another day.
He puts $100M into SpaceX, $70M into Tesla, $10M into SolarCity. Almost everything. On rockets and electric cars, two industries no sane person wanted to touch.
2006–2008. The first three Falcon 1 launches fail. Tesla is burning cash, the financial crisis hits, investors run. He has enough left for one last launch. Just one. He borrows money from friends to pay his rent.
September 28, 2008. The fourth launch reaches orbit.
December 23, 2008. NASA awards SpaceX a $1.6B contract.
December 24, 2008. The Tesla round closes at the last possible hour. A few more days and everything collapses.
That's what a genius is. Not just IQ. The ability to put everything on the table when the entire world tells you it's impossible, and be right.
Now the real question: why do we only have one?
Because a genius needs three things. The freedom to try. The right to get massively rich if it works. The right to fail without being destroyed.
And that's exactly what the collectivist left and the technocrats have torn down across the West for the past 50 years.
They turned success into suspicion. Making a lot of money became a moral failing. Taking risks became irresponsible. Rising above the crowd became an insult to equality.
They stacked up norms, committees, permits, regulations written in Brussels by people who have never built anything in their lives. In Europe, Elon would never have been allowed to blow up three rockets. He'd have been stopped at the first form.
They want to tax capital before it even exists, cap fortunes, redistribute what others created by risking everything.
They replaced excellence with conformity. Our schools produce docile people, not dangerous ones. And a genius, by definition, is someone who disrupts. Their entire system is built to neutralize the people who disrupt.
The result: where we should have 15 to 20 universal geniuses alive at the same time, we have one.
Just one.
And you want to put him in prison.
You summon him before judges, you raid his offices, you insult him morning, noon and night, you dream of breaking up his companies. The man who lands rockets vertically and wants to take humanity to Mars.
You're disgusting.
History won't remember your names. It remembers Galileo, not the inquisitors who tried to silence him.

Half the health food aisle is animal feed with a better label.
Kale used to get dairy cows through the winter, now it gets blended into a smoothie.
Oats used to be what England fed its horses, now they're a superfood porridge.
Millet used to go in the budgie's dish, now it's an ancient grain.
Hemp seed used to be bird food, now it's sold as hemp hearts.
Linseed used to be pressed into cake to fatten cattle, now it's flaxseed sprinkled on a yoghurt bowl.
Field peas used to be pig feed, now they're the protein in a plant-based burger.
Alfalfa used to be hay, now it's sprouts in a wellness wrap.
Brewers' spent grain used to go to the dairy herd, now it's sold as upcycled flour.
Bran used to be the horse's mash, now it's a breakfast cereal.
Swede used to be fed to sheep in the field, now it's a heritage root on a tasting menu.
For thousands of years every farmer knew the order: the plants went to the animal, and the animal went to the table.
Somewhere along the way you were sold the animal's dinner and told to be grateful for it.
The cow is eating the same diet as your nutritionist, and only one of them is turning it into steak.

In Britain your cat has a legal right to the diet her body was built for, and you have a leaflet telling you to eat the opposite of yours.
The law says a cat must be given a suitable diet, and a suitable diet for a cat is meat, because she cannot make her own taurine and goes blind without it.
The law says a zoo lion must be fed like a lion, so the keepers throw in whole carcasses with the bone and the hide still on.
The law says a zoo gorilla must be fed like a gorilla, so when the biscuits made them fat the keepers took the biscuits away and gave them leaves.
The law says a dog must be given a suitable diet, and an owner who fails it can be prosecuted.
The farm vet balances a dairy cow's ration to the gram, because too much grain twists her stomach.
The horse is kept on grass and hay, because one sack of oats too many cripples him.
Every one of those animals is fed by the same rule, that a body should get what its species evolved to eat.
Then there is you.
Your official plate is a third starch, a third fruit and vegetables and a corner for meat, drawn by a committee, and the hospital, the school and the care home all serve it.
No law says a human must be fed like a human.
Every animal in Britain is protected from the wrong diet except the one who wrote the protection.
As for "moron", what I observed over years of All-In Pod was a man-creature incapable of complex structured thought, whose childlike viewpoints were best enjoyed as entertainment. Never could figure out how David Sacks could make it through a show with him.
