Exactly! I love the freedom of speech, and Community Notes are the best possible way to deal with misinformation.

I have a different view: X has been a night and day improvement over the old Twitter.

Community Notes mean that if you see misleading information, it is accompanied by facts. It even uses notifications to show you corrections to something you saw previously.

Free speech is actually encouraged and is flourishing.

Grok is a world class AI tool.


The US should seize total control of the Strait of Hormuz, including all land necessary to ensure safe passage of ships. The population should be evicted. The US should collect high fees for safe ship passage to pay for everything.

Farmer here. We only run equipment made before 2000 and all of our tractors are from the 1980s. We badly need right to repair.

You should check out Kubota stuff.

I considered one for my last tractor purchase. The depreciation on them is hard to square. Units are selling or 1/3 of the original price with only a few hundred hours on them.

Why not purchase used then? 66% discount for a mint condition sounds like a steal.

That is what brought some interest, but at the same time there are no steals in farming. Although in the end it was largely technical. The M7 wasn't enough frame for my needs, but I didn't really need the HP of the M8 (which is actually a Versatile anyway). Other manufacturers offer models that more closely align with my requirements.

Why not pick up one of these barely-used units for cheap then?

I'm not sure I'd call them cheap. They're in the same price range as all the other brands with used machines of similar spec, plus some premium for being barely used. I am not sure there is any real price advantage. Agricultural markets are pretty efficient.

That might on the surface sound contradictory with high depreciation as that means someone has to pay for an expensive new machine. But they are not really at odds with each other when you think about it.


Office buildings are going the same direction horses went a hundred years ago after the invention of the internal combustion engine.

Without harsh punishments, IE years in prison for all involved, scams and fraud will multiply.

Welcome to skynet.

I am moving my business out of state because of this. Already had a problem with this, I had an employee stealing clients and he even said on a recording he made for his roommate and the roommate made me that he stole them. You can not run a business in Democrat states anymore.

Private equity is not a free market artifact, it could not exist without the government controlling the currency and providing very cheap loans.
