Being ex-Microsoft, it’s still a shock to see that Windows & Devices isn’t even one of Microsoft’s top three businesses anymore.
At $17.3B in revenue it’s smaller than LinkedIn ($17.8B) and Gaming ($23.5). Let alone the real moneymakers like Azure ($98B) and Microsoft 365 ($88B).

the nation-state that will dominate the future of humanity is whoever decides to start secretly raising children in an isolated environment with no LLMs and a bunch of pre-2021 software engineering books. China is probably already doing this.

A 30 year mortgage of $150,000 at 6% results in an INTEREST of $173,757. Same Rate for 50 years result is $323,764 INTEREST
So instead of just paying a bit more than DOUBLE for your house with a typical 30 Year mortgage, with a 50 year mortgage you would be paying TRIPLE!

The American political class is so disconnected from voters that they don’t realize that regular folks are totally down with a giant pan partisan jail cell holding everyone involved with Epstein’s crimes.

I don't think people realize how much a trillion dollars is.
Let's say you get paid a million dollars per day. That's a lot, right?
If you spend none of it and pay no taxes, you'll have a trillion dollars in approximately two thousand seven hundred (2700) YEARS.
No one should have that much.

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.
