Everyone gets stuff wrong...NOT the point. If you listen to these asshats you have 'filter failure'
What makes Chamois @chamath awful is the depths he went to be enrich himself being wrong while yapping like an expert

On the latest Odd Lots episode on midterms, @TheStalwart remarked on tech bros’ tendency to “update their priors”. I decided to check out the latest All In on the same topic.
I agree with Chamath. I think he got it totally wrong including this latest take on what happened with midterms. He might need to “update his priors” some more.
Yes there’s something structurally broken about the economy and the systematic inequality. But that’s a longstanding issue that’s been true for years if not decades. It’s not why TX/SC/KS or even Mississippi voted for Dems. Texas went blue across the board.
Surveys and exit polls show very consistently the top issues motivating voters. Wealth inequality or begrudging the rich weren’t one of them. In fact, in CA the bluest state voters rejected the wealth tax in two separate propositions.
I think the one thing Chamath does extremely well is his tonal delivery and I mean that sincerely. Whatever he says he says it with confident authority like he’s researched it carefully and arrived at the contrarian truth. And clearly it works bc @theallinpod is #1 by listenership.

Everyone’s talking about who paid what influencer to post what on X.
It’s trending.
Some of us, who declined every single offer, have been telling you this long before it was cool to do so.
I know most of them.

something big is about to change and nobody is ready for it
91% of all tokenized stocks lead back to one broker.
Tokenized stocks total $4.60B today and $4.17B of that is backed by real shares held at a single US broker called Alpaca Securities.
- 7 issuers use it - Binance bStocks, Ondo, xStocks, Robinhood, Reality, Coinbase and those shares at DTC, the central US securities depository. On the company's books, the owner is Cede & Co., and not you.
- Securitize and Backpack take a different path, through RQD Clearing but still ends at DTC.
- Superstate and Securitize’s ISTs are the only one that skips both. The shares sit on the company's own register, with no broker and no DTC.
In total, that’s 4.7M token holders across those 7 issuers, and one broker between all of them and the real shares.
Now you know.

In 2025, Chinese shipyards built 52.6% of the world's cargo-ship tonnage. U.S. shipyards built 0.01%.
On Changxing Island near Shanghai, two neighbouring yards build gas carriers and giant container ships for customers worldwide, and naval ships alongside them. May satellite ous ships, 2 cruisers, 3 destroyers and 2 frigates there under construction or maintenance at the same time. Five years ago, part of the site was open fields.
Between 1941 and 1945, American yards built more than 2,700 Liberty ships, the largest class of ships ever built, all from one standard design. They were all-welded ships. Builders prefabricated deckhouses, double-bottom sections, stern frames and bows, then shipped the sections by rail to yards run like car assembly lines. The first ships took about 230 days. By mid-1943 a Liberty ship took 39 days.
By 1943, American yards were launching three Liberty ships a day.

The MAHA movement's clearest bipartisan win is food additive reform. Major companies representing about 40% of the industry pledged to phase out petroleum-based synthetic dyes under federal pressure. States including Texas passed laws requiring warning labels on certain additives, restricting them in school meals, and limiting SNAP purchases of candy and soda—measures that drew Democratic co-sponsors and votes. Polling shows 70%+ public support across parties for tighter rules on food chemicals.

If America removed onerous restrictions on CNG (Compressed natural gas) vehicle conversions, station builds, and fast+slow fill compressors, we'd instantly be a stronger safer country.
The LNG Lobby and the powers that be blocked it as they prefer to liquefy it and export it.
China went from 6k CNG vehicles to 20M+ in <20 years.
India now has dozens of CNG car models straight from OEMs.
In the USA - we are the mecca of natural gas - we have 65M homes with it piped into the home.
Installing slow fill overnight compressors and converting gasoline vehicles to CNG would be a trivial exercise.
The conversion cost in the USA is 7k-12k and the cost to build a CNG station is in the millions because of onerous regulations.
