You know exactly where you tax dollars go, right?? Yeah, of course not! But... WHY? Wouldn't we be better citizens if we actually knew what was happening...? In this week's episode of Hello Tomorrow, I get real with you about government budgets, why they're opaque, and what we should do instead.

Many of us have already seen the solution for this problem of budget opaqueness... in a now-deceased online personal finance tool! #MintforTheCommons

Three things for leaders: 1) Using A.I. as a cost-cutting tool will accelerate the consumer collapse. Don't do that. 2) Your workers are carrying ambient anxiety; name it directly or lose their trust. 3) Protect the space A.I. creates, don't re-spend it on more work. It's where wisdom grows.
The U.S. is completely, utterly alone in the way we give citizens healthcare. It's an abomination. But did you know, it was also... a total accident??
I get really sick of "mainstream media pundit"-type folks dropping the ball when they could stand up for people and for good ideas. In this clip, I give the Hard Fork Podcast a good forking, and tell you exactly why an A.I. Shared Wealth Fund doesn't require the "U.S. to transform into Europe." 🙄
Problem #3 with space: we're getting the order very, VERY wrong. I love Star Trek. But in Star Trek, humans didn't go to space to ESCAPE the Earth. They went there AFTER fixing a bunch of big-ass global problems. We need to get this order right, too, y'all.
Time to talk about my favorite World's Fair: 1964 in New York City! This Fair was a mess in many ways, but it's also remembered fondly by many. More than that, it teaches us something profound about the important role government plays in fostering optimism.
Did you know the U.S. actually passed a law to PREVENT more World's Fairs?? After 1984, the World's Fair story in the U.S. becomes a huge bummer... ...and I believe we are ALL worse off because of it. Here's why.
"Hey you, Luddite! Yeah, you!" I had NO idea this is who the Luddites actually were. ...or that I actually AM one. "Hey you, Luddite! Yeah, you!" I had NO idea this is who the Luddites actually were.
Did you know we held a World's Fair right in the middle of the Great Depression? 1933, Chicago. The audacity feels hard to process... and yet... 39 MILLION PEOPLE CAME. What's going on here??
Do you have any idea what a "trillion" is? Spoiler: No, you don't. Because you can't... our brains just don't work that way.

Da hat der #Bundesrat die mit der Finanzierung der #Entlastungsprämie Belasteten kurzerhand von selbiger entlastet, indem er für den Taschenspielertrick aus dem Finanzministerium, das Geld anderer auszugeben, um sich als Retter der Spritpreisbelasteten auszugeben, den monetären Zapfhahn zudreht. ⬇️
How do you decide which books to keep/donate? I have a LOT of books, so pruning and carefully growing my library is essential. I try not to go too book buying crazy, but I'm weak for my fellow indies authors' books. #booksky #bookishthings #bookish

If you say the US has no interest in continuing war in Iran, and Trump is only doing it to serve Israel and the Gulf State tyrannies he loves and that enrich his family, you'll be called an anti-Semitic conspiracy theorist. But then Trump just comes out and says it himself:

Replying to @chloe_c_84 I agree! So frustrating, but really really sadly, not surprising.
We need term limits not just for the Supreme Court, but for Congress. No one should serve for a lifetime or even decades. If we actually want a government that represents the will of the people and responds to today’s challenges, we need new leadership, and that means term limits.
Earlier this year I saw for myself the incredible work which the Hospital at Home team from the John Radcliffe Hospital do. I was shocked to hear that their funding is now being cut and asked the Government how this was compatible with their transition to community care.
