It's no secret that Millennials feel burnt out at work, and in life. In a notable poll by global talent services firm Seramount, 77% of Millennials reported feeling workplace burnout. Millennials also have more expectations at home, caring for both their own children and aging parents.As Wes Burke, chief human resources officer at Care.com, told Fortune, "The mental load [of caregiving] permeates the workplace; it goes just beyond the four walls of your home, especially in a more interconnected world. [It] has an impact on attendance, productivity, and overall quality of life for the employee, [while also having] a lot of impact for the employer."Now, Millennials have been given the nickname the "Just Push Through It" generation. Tara Kermeit of YourTango explained, "That 'pick yourself up and just push through' mentality was a staple of millennial childhood. For better or worse, we were taught that no matter how tough things got, we were supposed to push through, brush ourselves off, and keep going." @thepeterguse Millennials have lived through enough chaos that we struggle to feel safe when those small moments of calm DO come around. This is where the real inner work starts. Grab the book and follow my 4 Rs framework so we can finally start planning for a future that was stolen from us! #millennialburnout #millennialmindset #millennialreset It's a stark contrast to Gen Z, who have notably taken an opposing approach to hustle culture, as noted by Upwork, an online freelance worker marketplace. Upwork writer Cassie Moorhead explained that Gen Z is "rebelling against constant grind, avoiding burnout, and prioritizing their well-being," adding that "Gen Z is entering the workforce with different values, behaviors, and expectations."In a discussion amongst Millennials on Reddit, they reacted to the generational "Just Push Through It" label in an honest (and humorous) manner. This is what they had to say:"Hahaha yep, I ignored neck pain for like two weeks and when it finally got loose enough for me to crack it, I gave myself a stroke at the ripe old age of 38. I had somehow dissected an artery, probably by sneezing like an idiot or something stupid, but I had overtime that had to be done." - stefiscool"Big on the 'life goes on, I’ll figure it out' mentality." - MagicVonSwanson"'Welcome to real life' is one I’ve gotten from family members… sigh…" - Virtual_Pitch_3820"Lmao that's why we're all disabled in our 30s in some cognitive fashion. And these mothatruckas want grandkids. Y'all are getting grand cats and grand dogs." - FluffyLucious"For real. I was telling this to my husband the other day bc he asked why our generation is having less kids. I said honey we have been through it our whole lives. So much instability and just trying to weather the storm. We are all tired! Don’t get me wrong, it could be worse. But I’ve learned that what’s easiest for me is to keep my life simple bc nothing lasts forever." - User Unknown Tired Merry Go Round GIFGiphy"It’s so much more expensive to have kids today and parenting is definitely harder. A freaking mailman or factory worker could have a 4 bedroom home and a stay at home wife 40 years ago. Now it takes 2 working professionals to afford that in the same neighborhood. Plus add $15k-$20k for childcare… for one kid!" - White_eagle32rep "I think people are misinterpreting this, encouraging perseverance isn’t a bad thing. Screwing your kid over and telling them to just get over it is a bad thing. I can’t speak for all millennials but our circumstances are certainly unique in terms of our coming of age and our boomer parents who lived radically different lives and had 0 concern or empathy for us." - SnooGoats5767"My parents don’t care nor understand." - User Unknown"Every generation prior and current has been told this. What makes Millennials different than the previous generations is that we're stopping to say "this isn't right" and actually doing something about it. We're putting more focus on mental health than ever before. We're creating a work-life balance as best we can. Though, we're also in a much worse position relative to the previous generations in wealth and purchasing power making that a difficult proposition at best. This is what make us "difficult" for the previous generations. We're calling them out on their bullshit, we're pushing back, and they don't like it." - spiffariffic"Can’t be burnt out if you’re just numb to it all!" - qsdlthethird Im Fine GIF by MOODMANGiphy"Its so funny because a few years ago there was a receptionist at the company I worked for that said that all Millennials do is complain. She said so many don't want to work, just want to stay living with their parents. I was so offended but instead of flying off the handle I said- let me ask you, how much was your home that you bought in the 90s? How much was a college education in 80s/90s? How hard was it to get a decent job at that time? All she could say was that Millennials need to figure it out. We had a major recession in 2008 to approx 2012 and everything is super expensive. So yea that's delayed our lives quite a bit. Also said I think that people that complain about Millennials should talk to the people that raised us. For her that was particularly poignant because her 2 children are Millennials. What hypocrites!" - Saveus1008"Yep, I’ve been through 3 recessions , the world has ended 4 or 5 times and I went bald at 19. Burnt out is an understatement." - Thin_Baker5838"This was my moral code for the longest time. 'Work hard, finish things through, don't quit things early just because it got hard.' it leads to more exploitation." - Pikapetey"That and 'Figure It Out'. My parents barely taught me life skills but kept telling me to figure it out. Now they can’t understand why I don’t plan much. I legit approach my life as 'I’ll figure it out. I always do.'" - PhoenixCore96"The time spent multitasking is a big issue. You used to be either at work or home. Maybe you had to make a phone call or get called into the office, but you're still not really multitasking. A cheat code to do well at work was to not have children. Now our expectation is to parent our 2.5 kids and succeed at work despite dramatically dwindling benefits, so much so that even the DINKs are struggling too. We need a dramatic paradigm shift." - Evan_802Vines

In many families, large gatherings over the holidays or at other times are commonplace, with kids, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, and in-laws getting together to eat, play games, watch movies, and spend quality time together. For others, friends might hold parties or events that involve multiple generations gathering in a home for fun and frivolity.For parents, such events can be a tricky balancing act. Some kids might love big parties, while others get overwhelmed. Sometimes family dynamics can make such gatherings less-than-ideal. And then there are the safety aspects to consider for our children's mental and physical well-being. See on Instagram Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Raquel Martin shares six conversations parents need to have with their children when attending events, even when they take place in their own home. These family conversations are designed to help protect kids' personal safety, both mentally and physically. 1. The bodily autonomy conversationNo one should ever feel forced into giving someone physical affection, even a close family member. Kids don't owe anyone hugs or kisses, no matter who they are. Martin says parents can tell kids, "If someone asks for a hug or any form of affection and you don't want to, you can say no. If you freeze, catch my eye, I will step in." Rule #1: No forced affection. I will always back you up. 2. The teasing conversationMartin points out that there's a difference between playful jokes and hurtful comments. The difference is whether or not you feel uncomfortable. "I tell them if someone makes a comment about your body, your food, your emotions, your voice, or compares you to others, and it makes you uncomfortable, or if anything conversation-wise makes you uncomfortable, that's not joking," she says. "The line is where you draw it." Rule #2: If it makes you feel bad in your body, you do not have to stay. — (@) 3. The secrets conversationSurprises are one thing, but secrets are another. "I tell children there are surprises and there are secrets," Martin explains. "Surprises are safe and temporary. Secrets make you feel scared, confused, or uncomfortable and should always be told to me, even if someone says don't tell. And if you don't know the difference, tell me." Adults should never be telling children to keep secrets, and no one should tell kids to keep a secret from their parents. Period. Rule #3: No person (adult or child) should ask you to keep secrets from me.4. The respect conversationKids might feel afraid to speak up if an elder does or says something hurtful because they've been taught to respect adults or they might worry about getting in trouble. But there are ways to talk about respect that clarify what it is and what it isn't."Tell your children respect does not mean letting people hurt your feelings," Martin says. "Respect does not mean staying quiet when something is wrong. You can be respectful and still say, 'I do not like that, please stop.'" And they can always ask a parent for help in a sticky situation. It's okay for kids to say no to things that make them uncomfortable.Photo credit: CanvaMartin points out that it's important for children to always know where their parents are at events. "If they can't find you, they can't get the help they need."Rule #4: You are not in trouble for protecting yourself. 5. The exit plan conversationMartin lets her kids know that if they ever feel overwhelmed, uncomfortable, or overstimulated, they can let her know. "We can use a code word. We can use a hand signal. You can just come sit next to me, squeeze my arm. We can take a break, or if necessary, we can leave," she tells them.Having an exit plan lets kids know they can count on parents to have their back and to remove them from a situation they might otherwise feel trapped in. Rule #5: You do not have to endure discomfort to be polite. 6. The open door conversation"Let them know you do not play in rooms with closed doors, not bedrooms, not basements, not bathrooms," Martin says. "If someone says, 'It's fine, we're just playing,' you open the door or you leave the room. And if someone asks you to close the door, you come get me immediately." No closed doors.Photo credit: CanvaWhile no one wants to imagine it happening, most sexual abuse is perpetrated by people a child knows, and according to U.S. Department of Justice statistics, about 1/3 of sexual abuse cases involve a family member. Keeping doors open helps keep kids safer. Rule #6: Doors stay open. Always. Gatherings can be a lot of fun, and making sure these conversations happen beforehand can help protect kids so they can create fond memories with family and friends.

For many parents of a certain age, showing their children Home Alone is a crucial moment of family bonding. That even applies to Macaulay Culkin, who stars in the 1990 blockbuster as Kevin McCallister. In a recent interview with the YouTube channel Mythical Kitchen, the actor said it’s been a beautiful experience reliving the movie through his kids' eyes—but, for the time being, he’s resisting the impulse to tell them who played Kevin. "My kids don’t understand yet," he said, noting how they do recognize his wife, Brenda Song, in episodes of The Suite Life of Zack & Cody. "I'm like, 'Yeah, that’s mama.' So they get that. But when they see Kevin, they always call him 'Kevin' because the illusion is still there. Just two nights ago, my son was asking questions. He wanted to see a family photo of, like, all my siblings. So I ran downstairs [and] got it, and immediately his eyes darted to me, and he goes, 'Hey, that kid looks like Kevin.' And I go, 'He sure does, doesn’t he?'" See on Instagram "I’m trying to keep up the illusion as long as possible, like Santa Claus"While Culkin’s son is "starting" to put the pieces together, they still have a little time to live in this sweet in-between zone. "I’m trying to keep up the illusion as long as possible, like Santa Claus, that kind of thing," the actor said. "But I know some kid at recess is going to ruin it [Laughs]."Reliving the film through his children has "changed the game" for Culkin, who sees the "joy" it brings them. "Before, it was a gig," he admitted. "Now it’s something I can sit next to and be proud of and show my kids. I don’t run from it. I don’t hide from it. If anything, I embrace it." That philosophy prompted Culkin to host a recent 35th-anniversary tour behind Home Alone, screening the film in theaters and staging a "fireside chat" Q&A afterward. "I pull kids up there and ask them absurd trivia questions about the movie they just saw," he said. "It’s really fun to kind of get it on the road, get it on its legs, and just seeing how it’s still alive. Those people are parents too, and they’re bringing their kids to it, and they’re appreciating it in a way that it’s supposed to be appreciated." - YouTube www.youtube.com "Hearing him talk like this brings me so much joy"In the interview's Instagram comments, fans weighed in with some beautiful words. "When a legend can finally accept the title, it's a really cool thing to watch ? what an icon""He should be proud too, elite child acting. Iconic timeless movies. Awesome having him in the public space more last few years. What a legend.""Home Alone will never die. Greatest Christmas movie ever!""Man drop another home alone movie???""Hearing him talk like this brings me so much joy""Damn, going from gig to a mantle of pride. I’ve never thought about it that way before."One element of Home Alone nostalgia is more painful than sweet: A YouTuber named "Mistress Melt" recently conducted an experiment to replicate Kevin’s $20 grocery haul from the film, calculating how much those items would cost in 2025 dollars. As you might expect, the total has gone up, but the discrepancy is still pretty wild. - YouTube www.youtube.com

Folks, if you can’t see what’s happening hidden in plain sight on the world stage, I can’t help you! But I’ll try…. Let’s start with this, the announcement that President Trump’s company, TMTG (ticker $DJT) is merging with the premier Fusion Power Company, TAE Technologies: Trump Media & Technology Group to Merge with TAE Technologies, a Premier Fusion Power Company, in All-Stock Transaction Valued at More Than $6 Billion Combined company expects to site and commence construction of the first utility-scale fusion power plant in 2026 Trump Media & Technology Group Corp. (Nasdaq, NYSE Texas: DJT) (“TMTG”) and TAE Technologies, Inc. (“TAE”) today announced the signing of a definitive merger agreement to combine in an all-stock transaction valued at more than $6 billion. Upon closing, shareholders of each company will own approximately 50% of the combined company on a fully diluted equity basis. The companies have posted supplemental slides to their respective websites, all of which can be accessed at tmtgcorp.com and tae.com. Highlights: Transaction to create one of the world’s first publicly traded fusion companies. Deal to combine TMTG’s access to significant capital and TAE’s leading fusion technology. In 2026, the combined company plans to site and begin construction on the world’s first utility-scale fusion power plant (50 MWe), subject to required approvals. Additional fusion power plants are planned and expected to be 350 – 500 MWe. Fusion power plants are expected to provide economic, abundant, and dependable electricity that would help America win the A.I. revolution and maintain its global economic dominance. TMTG’s balance sheet to accelerate the path to power.The transaction will combine the strength of TMTG’s strong balance sheet with TAE’s leading technologies. As part of the transaction, TMTG has agreed to provide up to $200 million of cash to TAE at signing and an additional $100 million is available upon initial filing of the Form S-4. TAE’s next-generation fusion technology is poised for commercial application. After more than 25 years of research and development, TAE has significantly reduced fusion reactor size, cost and complexity. TAE has built and safely operated five fusion reactors and raised more than $1.3 billion in private capital to date from Google, Chevron Technology Ventures, Goldman Sachs, Sumitomo Corporation of Americas, NEA, the visionary family offices of Addison Fischer, the Samberg Family, Charles R. Schwab, and others. Combined company to be governed by experienced management and board. Devin Nunes, TMTG Chairman and CEO, and Dr. Michl Binderbauer, TAE CEO and Director, plan to serve as Co-CEOs of the combined company; Michael B. Schwab, Founder and Managing Director of Big Sky Partners, is expected to be named Chairman of a planned nine-member board of directors. Nunes said, “Trump Media & Technology Group built uncancellable infrastructure to secure free expression online for Americans, and now we’re taking a big step forward toward a revolutionary technology that will cement America’s global energy dominance for generations. Fusion power will be the most dramatic energy breakthrough since the onset of commercial nuclear energy in the 1950s—an innovation that will lower energy prices, boost supply, ensure America’s A.I.-supremacy, revive our manufacturing base and bolster national defense. TMTG brings the capital and public market access to quickly move TAE’s proven technology to commercial viability.” Binderbauer said, “Our talented team, through its commitment and dedication to science, is poised to solve the immense global challenge of energy scarcity. At TAE, recent breakthroughs have prepared us to accelerate capital deployment to commercialize our fusion technology. We’re excited to identify our first site and begin deploying this revolutionary technology that we expect to fundamentally transform America’s energy supply.” Transaction Details Under the terms of the merger agreement, TAE and TMTG shareholders will each own approximately 50% of the combined company at closing, stated on a fully diluted equity basis. Based on TMTG’s trailing 30-day VWAP share price as of market close on December 17, 2025, the transaction values each share of TAE common stock (on a fully diluted basis) at $53.89 per share. Upon closing, Trump Media & Technology Group will be the holding company for Truth Social, Truth+, Truth.Fi, TAE, TAE Power Solutions and TAE Life Sciences, among others. The transaction, which was approved by the boards of directors of both companies, is expected to close in mid-2026, subject to customary closing conditions, including shareholder and regulatory approvals. TAE Technologies, a Leading American Innovator Founded in 1998, TAE’s next phase focuses on deploying commercial, utility scale fusion energy. Planned power plants would provide reliable, affordable, carbon-free electricity and industrial heat without the risks of nuclear meltdown, radioactive waste, or proliferation. These advancements position TAE to offer dispatchable, affordable energy at a time of surging power demand. In addition to its fusion business, TAE has two partially-owned subsidiaries — TAE Power Solutions and TAE Life Sciences. The power business has developed innovative energy storage and power delivery systems to serve multiple industries, including A.I. data centers, industrial users, and electric vehicles. TAE Life Sciences has developed a biologically targeted radiotherapy to treat cancer patients. The TAE team consists of more than 400 employees, including 62 Ph.D. holders. The company has been granted over 1,600 patents, reflecting its leadership in fusion innovation. Binderbauer is globally recognized as a pioneering scientific mind, credited with more than 100 technology patents and numerous awards. I am pretty sure that growing up in school they told us that whoever finally cracked the code to Fusion Power would bring unlimited and cheap energy upon the whole world! Is that what just happened here? It also seems to have huge ties to Nikola Tesla, who we all know President Trump’s uncle John Trump ended up with all his research and technology. What are the odds? Then we have this from Devin Nunes on TruthSocial giving us an inside look on what TAE is and how it works: Watch here: CNBC reports $DJT stock is surging (DISCLAIMER: I own and have been buying $DJT since 2024, always expecting something very special would happen with that stock): Trump Media and Technology Group on Thursday announced a merger agreement with TAE Technologies, a privately held fusion power company, valued at more than $6 billion. The all-stock deal, expected to close in mid-2026, will result in shareholders of each firm owning approximately half of the combined company. Trump Media shares — which have plummeted more than 75% since their January peak — rocketed 33% higher after the opening bell. The major pivot for Trump Media, which operates President Donald Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social, comes as America’s race against China for artificial intelligence superiority has fueled massive energy demand. There are currently no commercial plants producing electricity using fusion, a futuristic technology that carries the potential to generate abundant energy without the risks associated with nuclear power. The merger would create “one of the world’s first publicly traded fusion companies,” according to a press release. Trump Media “has agreed to provide up to $200 million of cash to TAE at signing and an additional $100 million is available” upon signing a regulatory filing known as a Form S-4. Trump Media Chairman Devin Nunes and TAE CEO Dr. Michl Binderbauer will serve as co-CEOs of the combined company, according to the release. In a conference call later Thursday morning, Nunes said that the merger aligns with Trump Media’s “America-first principles” and its strategy of seeking “combinations that bring transformative technology the potential for significant, long-term value creation and dramatic societal impact.” Ok so now I want to break it down in really simple and easy to understand terms… And no one better to do that than my friend BitcoinBen.

It’s Bitcoin Ben here for the daily. What in the pluck is going on? Well guys, I think we got a pretty good hint of what the pluck is going on with energy. Last week we learned Trump’s company, Donald J. Trump Media. What did they buy? Did they buy Oracle? Did they buy Open AI? No. What did they buy? They bought a fusion company. Not a nuclear fission company, a fusion company. Now, for those of you who had been paying attention to fusion, this has supposedly been just a pipe dream. Just you know man, if we could just get fusion. Although the technology has been around since actually Nikolai Tesla, who’s originally really hinted at fusion. This has been around a long time guys. The knowledge of fusion, the usage of fusion, has actually been around for a long time now. Why didn’t they implement it when we could originally do it? Because remember, a lot of fusion companies in the 60s and the 70s were actually purchased and then shelved. A lot of them they’re like, “Oh, it’s we’re going to buy it so we can shove it because it isn’t really applicable in today.” What they basically said was the energy grid isn’t capable of handling fusion. Let me translate. It will ruin oil production. It will ruin our energy industry. That’s what it would do. Let me explain what one fusion plant can do. One fusion plant can replace the energy of about a thousand Hoover dams. Let that sink in. And remember, this is not nuclear, so it isn’t a threat. What it basically does is it uses water and a couple of other chemicals to generate energy that has no nuclear threat. And remember, this is what’s critical to really wrap your head around with a nuclear plant. If something goes wrong, the nuclear energy doesn’t quit. We have a nuclear meltdown with nuclear energy because you can’t shut off the energy. With fusion, if there’s an issue, it quits making energy. So there is no risk at all. And let me put it this way. All right. The amount of energy in one barrel of oil, a fusion plant—this is rough calculations—a fusion plant can generate the equivalent of one barrel of oil, which is approximately I want to say it’s 100,000 joules of energy. A fusion plant can generate that in less than 1,000th of a second. That means every second the fusion energy plant creates 1,000 barrels worth of energy of oil. They’re basically saying that the US will need approximately eight fusion reactors for all of America. And the only reason we need eight isn’t because of energy generation, it’s location. It’s actually because America’s so big. That’s it. Four of them could run all of the energy and future energy needs of America for about 150 years. Energy is about to become super cheap. Why do you think oil, inflation-adjusted, is about 11 or 12 dollars a barrel right now? All right. In real dollars or in what it costs right now, it’s sitting at about 55 maybe 60 something. But in real inflation-adjusted, it’s about 11 dollars. What this means is energy is about to be abundant. Absolutely abundant. We won’t have an energy problem to talk about today. We’ve all heard we are moving into an age of abundance, and we are. They are absolutely correct. Right. I saw a chart this morning that by the year 2032—there we go. There. I’m back. All right. Sorry, guys. Now, let me put it this way. By the year 2032. That’s six years away. Let me say that again. Six years away. One agent for one hour. Listen closely. One AI agent for one hour will have the productive capability of one human for over 1,200 years. Let that sink in. One human for one day has a production capability of this much. One AI agent in the next six years will have the production capability of one human for 1,200 years. That AI agent will have that level of production in one day. Let me elaborate on that. That means within the next six years, because remember we are going to have hundreds of millions and billions of AI agents. This is what I don’t think that people realize. This is going to move so quickly. If you are not watching YouTube on AI and AI agents and how quickly this is evolving, do so. Absolutely. Absolutely. And humans will be running multiple agentic AI agents. Yes. And that’s just people. I’ll have several AI agents. So you will have an AI agent on your phone and you will, if you choose, allow your AI agent to hear everything you hear. Listen to every conversation. Read every email. Read every single text. Read every everything you hear or you ingest. It hears it, ingests it. And then you hit it and you can get advice on something. “Hey, I got a call from blah blah blah. What do you think about that call?” Well, it seems like blah blah blah. And remember, that’s just AI. That isn’t even including robots. Next year, you’re going to see a rollout. Elon’s already said a million robots out in the world by the end of next year. I ordered one. I have a reserve on a robot. I done put my bid in. This is so important that we realize the age of abundance is going to do this. And let me explain. This is why I wanted to do this. In an age of abundance, the only thing that holds its value is limited supply. Let that sink in. In an age of abundance where everything is easily duplicated, the only things that hold their value and do not hit a deflationary wall are anything with a fixed supply. So what’s the game for the future? Creating the economy for whatever product is a fixed supply. What are we actually doing? This show is about economics. It’s about Bitcoin. It’s on inflation. It’s on macro. It’s on micro. I talk about everything. The only thing that I have talked about that is limited supply in this new world is actually Bitcoin. That’s it. That’s it. There is nothing else in this environment right now that is a fixed supply. Now, in the future, you’ll have stuff that is a fixed supply. Watch for it. And I think Taylor Swift is putting in, will if she hasn’t already, limited supply music, videos, and songs with AI encryption so you can’t record it. This is the future. Anything about—this is why I have promised every single one watching this show, you will never see an AI of me. Unless someone else makes it, it ain’t going to be me. My show will always be live. Hear me, flesh, no AI. Because in an age of abundant—dude I watch shows on YouTube that are literally AI agents doing the show and they look real. I can still kind of tell they’re AI, but there’s a couple of them that are really good. In the future of abundance, what does that really mean? In an age of complete abundance, guys, Google this: they are growing tomatoes that usually take like six or nine weeks. They can grow a tomato in like four days. They’re shrinking the grow time. It’s incredible what’s rolling out now. A lot of average people, not like you guys—you all are engaged. You are watching. You are learning. You are like, “Oh, okay. This is going on. That’s going on.” Keep your head on a swivel. There we go. All right. Sorry about that, guys. What you do is you look for limited supply. That’s what you’re searching for. All right. You yourself are limited supply. All right. Other than you and the Bitcoin and a few other cryptos, which I saw Litecoin out there in the chat—you’re damn right, 84 million—the fixed supply other than you. There’s not going to be much else that is a fixed supply. Labor is no longer going to be a fixed supply. We had to wait 18 years in order to grow a human. And that human, when it went out into the workforce, it had to learn how to work. It had to learn how to manage its time. The lag on human intelligence and efficiency is long. Going from a little kid until you were able to produce, you have at least probably 14 years there. We have to grow those little bastards, right? With a robot, dude, Tesla is creating one new robot every 10 minutes. It’s like a Bitcoin block except with robots. And middle of next year, they will be producing one robot a minute. One robot a minute. Guys, we don’t have to teach these robots. They’re hooked to the cloud. As soon as a brand new robot is switched on, it links with the cloud. It has the most current knowledge of the whole network. You don’t have to wait for the robot to learn how to do your freaking dishes or cut your grass or drive your car. Watch for this. Robots will be driving cars. Yes, we will have cars that drive themselves. Those of us who have regular cars, our robot—whatever you can do, the robot can do. Hang on one second. Orange juice. Okay, I have a few notes. Oh, shout out to Patrick. He sent me a text this morning. Everyone who has an Uphold wallet, Uphold’s information was compromised. So, they have your email address, they have your login information, they got everything they need in order to get your stuff. So, please go on X and look on Uphold’s X account. They have information for you to get a hold of Uphold so you can get your stuff straight. All right. Uphold wallet. Next topic. All right. Oh, here we go. Right. This is a little something I’m very interested in. In about a month, there is an AI company that’s going to launch where you can interview and have a conversation with historical people. You go on their website and you can have a conversation with George Washington because the AI has every single piece of written and documented material George Washington ever put out. They also have Albert Einstein. I think they have Nikolai Tesla. I don’t know for sure. They have not announced the website yet, but when this thing goes out, absolutely, I’m going to interview George Washington. I’m actually going to record it and do it on my show. Now, will it actually be George Washington? Of course not. But it will have all of his writings, everything he ever said. And the AI will be able to judge his opinion on things. Oh, I know exactly what I am going to ask George Washington. “What do you know about the Illuminati?” Because he wrote several letters about the Illuminati. I want to find out what hypothetically he may think of the Illuminati. That’s just me. Hey. Oh, there you go. That’s a good one. Lena, I want a conversation with Leonardo da Vinci. Absolutely. Ask that guy what he knew about the Rosicrucians. And if you don’t know who the Rosicrucians are, give that a Google because Leonardo da Vinci was involved with that. Hey, this is the future and next year is going to be incredible. And when I say incredible, I don’t mean good. I mean it’s going to be incredible what you witness. Because you’re going to witness. And trust me guys, people who are my age, this is blowing us away. When I was a kid, we didn’t have cell phones. We still had rotary phones. All right. Then when I was a really young kid, we didn’t even have personal computers. That didn’t really roll out until I was about eight. So I went from having no cell phones and maybe six channels on TV to now. Now we have internet, we have cell phones, we have AI, we have Uber. I don’t know if I told you guys this. I saw a video on X of a young woman who has never used an Uber, only used Waymo. So, she’s never had an Uber driver and she’s sitting there explaining how weird it would be riding in a car with a stranger. That’s a different perspective, guys. I still think that Uber is amazing. Like, wait, I press an app and it comes and gets me. I remember taxi days. And I’m still amazed with the stuff we got right now. Hell, I was amazed with YouTube in the early days. I’m like, wait, so I can just type in something and watch other people talk about it? And now this young woman had never used an Uber. Uber is old technology to her. Like, “Oh my god, who uses Uber? You got to ride with a stranger? What if he rapes you?” And then I’m thinking, wait, so Uber is now obsolete, at least in San Francisco? Guys, the Overton window didn’t gradually slide. It’s on the other side of the house. I’m 50 years old. I’m not that damn old. And in the last 50 years, the amount of advancement has been incredible. But watch the show last week where they basically said the amount of advancement we have had since the telegraph—that was 1850 something—the amount of advancement from the telegraph to the modern cell phone era is like 140 years. In the next 20 years, we will have twice as much technological advance than we did in the last 140 years. There’s one thing humans aren’t good at: rapid change. Humans don’t handle that well. In the next 20 years, we are going to have the equivalent of 280 years worth of technological advances. Over in China—and this is no joke, Google it—they’re flying taxis. I was going to do this show while I was driving, but I decided not to because I wanted a good clear signal. Look at me now. See the technology that we have in front of us. Yes, it is going to be abundant. We are going to have a ton of production and a lot of deflationary prices, right? This is why they are going to be able to print so much money, because productivity is going to skyrocket. The next 20 years, think about this guys: we are about to have two or three times as many robots as we have humans. That means we will quadruple our production without increasing our consumption. Humans eat. Humans shop. Humans smoke. Humans drink Red Bull. Humans drink coffee. A robot ain’t taking a smoke break. It is absolute 100% production and the only consumption is energy. They don’t eat. They don’t piss. They aren’t going to call you and say, “Oh, I can’t make it in. My kid’s sick.” No, they never leave the factory. It ain’t like they’re heading home. You don’t have multiple shifts of robots walking in. “Hey Joe. Hey Bob.” They aren’t hanging out at the water fountain talking about each other. “Did you see Bob’s new robotic leg he got? Yeah, it’s all upgraded.” None of that. All they do is work. They just produce. They just produce with zero consumption. Yeah, that’s funny. We should program lazy robots. No, no, no. We have those already. They’re called humans. This is where we’re going, guys. Productivity is going to quadruple at least. And that’s just with robotics. That’s with physical AI production. I watch a show, Jordy Vasser. Jordy put out a video yesterday. Watch this. This dude’s older than me and he’s all into this AI usage. The stuff that he’s breaking down and explaining about AI and how he uses it—he produces probably four or five times the information every week that he did pre-AI in less time. So he’s upped his production four times and he’s an old white guy like me. He ain’t even got the hustle no more. Because once you hit about 45 or 50, your hustle kind of rolls back on you until AI. Because now AI is going to create a medicine that makes your ass look like you’re 21 again. It’s all software. We, physical us, we are software. We are programmed software. That’s it. Our programming reflects our physical image. You change the program, you change the physical image. We are just AI in a physical form, and the physical form is sensitive to erosion. I watched a show the other day. They were basically explaining, look, we know what to do now. We just have to do it. There’s a guy, David Sinclair, he’s huge in anti-aging. This guy’s lab—I think they said that the average age of a mouse is about 18 months. They have a mouse that’s four years old and still alive. And it looks young. It doesn’t look all ratty. It looks like a young mouse. And they are launching—I’m not bullshitting you—watch moonshots from this week. There we go. I’m back. Sorry guys. All this technology and Elon can’t get me a clear signal. Come on, Elon. You’re better than this. All right, guys. I am going to wrap this up, but let me shrink this into one very quick message. In the age of abundance, what is valuable? The Bitcoin. And this is why I’m launching our mining company because in the future, what will be produced that will be the most valuable? The Bitcoin. Because everything else has an unlimited supply, guys. And yes, silver is going crazy. Absolutely. And guess who’s ramping up their silver production? All the silver miners. The more it’s worth, the more they dig out of the ground. I’m not saying silver is bad. I own silver. Silver is good. So is gold, but it ain’t Bitcoin. It isn’t true fixed supply. Look at that. Silver 69.52 a troy ounce. I’m telling you guys, the future be bright. Okay. If you’re interested in shares of the mining company, give us a call or send us a text 941-391-3882. Or there’s a link right under here for bbccshares.com. All right everyone. Have a great day. I’m almost to Florida. I got about 10 hours left. Love you guys. See you guys tomorrow morning. Bye-bye.
