There was another video where Donut Operator and some others seek to "DeBoonk!" ... I am weary of anyone who starts with that premise .. we want to prove the "conspiracy theories" wrong ... how about you work from the real scientific angle of "we know nothing" and build up a case?

In this video at 4min, they're deboonking the claim the shooter aimed for the ear. That's not the claim I made in my blog post, and it's also one of the less serious and most ridiculous claims out there. The title "Aiming for America's Ear" is meant to be somewhat satirical; a reference to propaganda.

The claim I made is the shooter didn't aim for Trump at all. I think he shot wide, Trump knew it was coming, and his ear was bloodied when he was covered.

Others are claiming the fireman didn't die at all. I reference a video in the sources (NSFL) on my post that shows him being taken away covered in blood. Then again, he's picked up and carried out covered, not placed on a board/stretcher (there were on-duty firemen/paramedics there; this seems unusual, but then again, it was an active shooter situation), and the guys' uniform was sent to the RNC to display during Trump's speech. The dude's name is misspelled on his fireman's jacket! Did he not notice for years? Did they have no budget to fix it? I dunno .. but I'm not going to dismiss this theory either.

Everyone is reacting emotionally to this one event. The day before Trump's rally, the Israeli Defense Force murders 90+ people at a refugee site they bombed. No one cares about them, just about the Orange Man ... but when he gets installed in the fake selection process, is there any doubt he'll dump a shit ton of more money on Israel, just like he did last time?

First thing is AI.

Is this worth 20 min of watching? AI is not coming for any devs job any time soon (unless you want wrong answers only).

The reason for the tech layoffs is super simple. Companies vastly over hired in 2020 for way too much. My friends in Finance at Amazon told me they were hiring devs for ~220k, not including options. Some Total Comp (TC) got over $300k. That's really insane, even for like a SRE or DevOps person who puts in 50~60 hours a week.

What resulted is pretty much just a correction. Does he get into that in this video? Because if he doesn't, he's skipping the very obvious answer.

My predicts from July of 2022 was that people who were laid off, who work remotely, bought houses in TX/TN/NC/etc. for Chicago and NYC prices .. raising the floor of single family homes to $300k:

I thought eventually we'd see another housing collapse by now. Layoffs would mean people walked away from $1800/month mortgages they couldn't afford and housing would get sucked up by all the Blackrock/Vanguard backed rental companies.

Some of that has happened ... but new housing construction hasn't slowed down here in TN. People are still buying houses. Locals now understand that $300k floor isn't going back down ever. Local wages for skilled workers are rising to grab some of that influx, along with other remote work.

The commercial real estate market hasn't collapsed yet either. I'm not sure if maybe this is being propped up so it will happen under Trump/24 instead so they can blame him, but I have my doubts. I think my predictions didn't pan out.
