Watch The X22 Report On Video No videos found Click On Picture To See Larger Picture Thousands of workers at the IRS combined owe a total of nearly 50 million in overdue taxes. Trump's tariffs are working, China is panicking and now they are making fun of American's. Big Fail. Trump confirms the economic target,the Federal Reserve, it is time to end the endless. The [DS] says the quiet part out loud, they are working with AG to try to keep Trump in court for the next four years. Their plan is now failing which means they will be moving to the next phase. Trump's counterinsurgency is building, the MAGA movement is gaining support. Bongino sends another message letting everyone know they are working behind the scenes. This is bigger than anyone can imagine.   (function(w,d,s,i){w.ldAdInit=w.ldAdInit||[];w.ldAdInit.push({slot:13499335648425062,size:[0, 0],id:"ld-7164-1323"});if(!d.getElementById(i)){var j=d.createElement(s),p=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];j.async=true;j.src="//cdn2.customads.co/_js/ajs.js";j.id=i;p.parentNode.insertBefore(j,p);}})(window,document,"script","ld-ajs"); Economy https://twitter.com/LizMacDonaldFOX/status/1912112506631332319  2,484 IRS contractor employees owed taxes, with 1,729 not on payment plans. Despite the IRS's authority to terminate employees who willfully fail to pay taxes, only 20 of the 70 agents identified as willfully avoiding taxes were terminated. And: Between 2004 and 2024, the IRS identified 1,650 IRS employees who willfully violated tax laws. Offenses included improperly claiming dependents, repeatedly failing to file timely tax returns, and falsely claiming tax credits. Despite a 1998 law mandating termination for such violations, only 39% of the 1,580 employees caught evading taxes between 2004-2013 were fired, resigned, or retired, while 61% received lesser penalties such as suspensions or reprimands. This, as Democrats demanded $80B for 87,000 more agents and workers to audit you to pay for record government overspending. That's now been cut to $38B. https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1912086393527951866 https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1912205461908004882 How come the chinese sound like the Democrats, Calling the people of the US names Taiwan President Sounds Hopeful About First Round of Tariff Talks Taiwan's President Lai Ching-te,  , indicated that the first round of trade talks with the Trump administration has gone "smoothly." That's a hopeful note, especially given that Taiwan is a major manufacturer of semiconductors - which are essential in the operation of almost everything these days. The first round of talks between representatives of Taiwan and the U.S. was held on Friday.   Source: redstates.com https://twitter.com/unusual_whales/status/1912136074618372229   Canada has announced a temporary six-month relief from counter tariffs on U.S. goods used in manufacturing, processing, and food and beverage packaging, effective as of April 15, 2025. This measure aims to ease supply chain pressures and support Canadian industries by reducing costs for businesses reliant on these imports. The relief applies to goods that cannot be sourced domestically or reasonably from non-U.S. suppliers, and in cases where exceptional circumstances could severely impact the Canadian economy.    https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1911868130168647861  No, A 50% Tariff Doesn't Mean A 50% Price-Hike The tariff doomsday machine is roaring again.  This time, it's over talk of a 50% tariff on certain imports. Predictably, the panic-peddlers are out in force, warning that such a tariff means retail prices will skyrocket 50%.     a tariff applies to the transaction value, not the final retail price.  The transaction value is what the importer pays the exporter, plus freight and insurance.  That cost is just the first step in a long supply chain.

More than 80B animals are slaughtered every year. How Factory Farming Ends, a 10-part Vox series, explores the past and future of the movement against factory farming.

Are Airbnb bans actually hurting renters, homebuyers, and your local economy? The truth doesn't seem so obvious, but new data shows the unintended consequences of banning Airbnbs and short-term rentals, especially in big cities. To get a take from someone inside the industry and with plenty of data to share, we invited Taylor Marr, Senior Housing Economist at Airbnb, to the show to explain how Airbnbs affect the economy, affordability, and housing supply. For years, there have been claims that short-term rentals take away housing supply from renters and homebuyers and, as a result, inflate rents and home prices in nearby areas. But new data is saying something very, very different. Today, Taylor talks about how Airbnbs and short-term rentals change a local economy, the amount of money this type of local hospitality provides to small businesses, and why affordability ISN'T improving in areas where Airbnbs are banned. We'll also discuss the age of “experiences” and how hosts can earn more by catering to a new kind of traveler willing to spend. Do you have a short-term rental or want to make money with one in the future? Then don't miss this episode! In This Episode We Cover: A short-term rental market update and how Airbnbs are faring in 2024  Airbnb supply and whether or not the short-term rental market is oversaturated  Tips for hosts to take advantage of “experiences” and make more money from their vacation rentals  The $80B impact Airbnb has on local economies and the real result of banning them  How Airbnb is working with local governments to IMPROVE affordability and tourist spending   And So Much More!

Listen in for a fascinating exploration of how private equity has evolved over the last few decades as LionTree Managing Director Antal Runneboom sits with Brian Ruder, Partner and co-Lead of Global Technology Investing at Permira, a worldwide investment firm with over $80B of assets under management. A long-time leader in tech and consumer internet investing, Permira's portfolio includes Allegro, Genesys, Zendesk, Informatica, Adevinta, NDS, LegalZoom and ancestry.com - as well as a pending acquisition of Squarespace. Their discussion charts the course of private equity, from acquiring companies that “nobody wanted to buy” and steering clear of software companies in the 90s to catalyzing some of the best known tech companies operating today. Brian touches on everything from the current regulatory environment to the disruptive opportunity that AI presents for investors and companies alike.

Noticias Económicas y Financieras Ahora es casi seguro que el Banco Central Europeo bajará los tipos de interés antes que la Reserva Federal, contraviniendo la tendencia del banco central estadounidense a la hora de liderar la política monetaria. Los funcionarios del BCE prácticamente han confirmado que el primer recorte se producirá en su reunión de la próxima semana, ya que la inflación se ha acercado a su objetivo del 2%. Esto contrasta con la falta de confianza de los funcionarios de la Fed en una flexibilización en el corto plazo. La startup xAI de Elon Musk ha recaudado $6B en una ronda de financiación de serie B, lo que ha elevado la valoración de la startup de inteligencia artificial a $24B. Antes de esta ronda de financiación, la valoración de xAI era de $18B. Los nuevos fondos se utilizarán para llevar los primeros productos de xAI al mercado y desarrollar una infraestructura avanzada. Entre los inversores se encontraban Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, Fidelity Management y el príncipe de Arabia Saudita Alwaleed Bin Talal. La inversión se produce cuando la empresa de inteligencia artificial busca desafiar el dominio de OpenAI, con el lanzamiento de su chatbot Grok el año pasado para rivalizar con ChatGPT. OpenAI está valorado actualmente en alrededor de $80B. $HES Los accionistas de Hess decidirán hoy sobre su venta planificada de $53B a Chevron $CVX, que se espera sea una votación reñida, ya que los inversores siguen preocupados por la disputa en curso con Exxon Mobil $XOM por el bloque Stabroek de Guyana. Si bien el asesor de poderes Glass Lewis recomendó que los accionistas votaran a favor del acuerdo, Institutional Shareholder Services les dijo a los inversores que se abstuvieran de la votación hasta que surgieran más detalles sobre el arbitraje. Se espera que al menos tres accionistas se abstengan, pero los asesores de Hess parecen confiados en conseguir suficiente apoyo de los accionistas. El líder del grupo de inversión, Daniel Jones, ve una atractiva oportunidad de riesgo/recompensa en medio del drama de las fusiones. A medida que los países reservan cada vez más fondos para apoyar la fabricación nacional de chips en medio de una feroz competencia, China ha creado un fondo de inversión en chips de alrededor de $48B en la tercera ronda del fondo de financiación respaldado por el gobierno. El gobierno central de China y varios bancos y empresas estatales han invertido en el fondo. El impulso a la inversión se produce en medio de restricciones estadounidenses destinadas a restringir el acceso de China a chips y equipos avanzados, incluidos los utilizados en trabajos de inteligencia artificial. Otros países que han intensificado sus esfuerzos para impulsar la fabricación nacional de chips para mantenerse a la cabeza en la carrera de la IA son Estados Unidos, Japón y Corea del Sur. Los envíos de iPhone de Apple $AAPL en China se disparan en medio de descuentos. Elecciones de la UE: Meta $META agrega funciones al rastreador de información errónea. Mester: La Reserva Federal debería usar más palabras, conectar los puntos.

#RafiFarber - 1970s Are Repeating for Gold, Too, Not Just Silver Last week Rafi Farber detailed how the silver market is playing out the late 1970s almost exactly, and how we are currently situated in 1978. Well, it's not just silver. With gold at new all time highs and silver lagging, this was also the exact same situation of that year. History is repeating, and we should not be surprised, as human nature does not change. Meanwhile, the Bank Term Funding Program is closing up next week, and one month later, about $80B in emergency loans from the Fed come due. The problem is, the Treasury's those banks turned in for all that cash, are even more underwater than they were back then. The Fed's balance sheet will necessarily shrink by at least $80 one month from now, and this as the reverse repo facility comes close to zeroing out. Gird your loins, as they say. It's going to be an interesting springtime for gold bugs and silver apes.

AI is taking over everything we know from Google and Microsoft !This episode is brought to you by The AI Business Transformation Course - If you want to learn how to implement AI across a business or if you are looking to advance your career with AI knowledge - this is the course for you! This jam-packed news episode covers some major AI developments from Google that have people wondering if they're poised to dominate global AI.

1. Gravy Stack app - new app to teach kids about money and how to create value, and fight the war on entitlement. Teaches families/kids how to save, earn, and invest in a fun way. Rolling out Feb 29 is the new "freemium version". ALLOWANCE TEACHES KIDS NOTHING   2. Markets - inflation data came in at 3.1%, which is pretty good, but the market was expecting 2.9% so we had a sell-off. DIVERGENCE DOW THEORY - S&P 500 near all time highs still while DOW "trannies" and financials are well off their best levels. NOT BULLISH.    However, if housing is removed from the CPI equation the inflation rate would be in the 1% range. This is not B.S. because of the way they calculate rent. In reality, rent is flat to down but the way the equation works they are using backwards data which is still pulling inflation higher.    3. Social Security optimizer - free analysis at peakwm.com/gruber   4. Retirees often include a travel budget as part of their retirement goal. Saturday my 8th grade boy and I are going skiing. Turns out it is cheaper to fly to Italy to go skiing than it is to go to Colorado or utah! So that's what we are doing! Everyone thought in the internet age the travel agent career would be doomed. Instead, only the strong survive. Must add value and I would not be able to take this type of trip if not for our travel agent.    5. NO LAZY MONEY - money markets still at 5.25% or buy short term treasuries and avoid that brutal state tax.    6. election is less than 9 months away - a collection of clowns in Washington on the left and right - juicing government spending to reckless levels. Did you know the feds hired 36k workers in january? This is out of control - interest on the debt is $80B per month

Latent Space is heating up! Our paper club ran into >99 person Discord limits, oops. We are also introducing 2 new online meetups: LLM Paper Club Asia for Asia timezone (led by Ivan), and AI in Action: hands-on application of AI (led by KBall). To be notified of all upcoming Latent Space events, subscribe to our new Luma calendar (sign up for individual events, or hit the RSS icon to sync all events to calendar).In the halcyon open research days of 2022 BC (Before-ChatGPT), DeepMind was the first to create a SOTA multimodal model by taking a pre-existing LLM (Chinchilla 80B - now dead?) and pre-existing vision encoder (CLIP) and training a “glue” adapter layer, inspiring a generation of stunningly cheap and effective multimodal models including LLaVA (one of the Best Papers of NeurIPS 2023), BakLLaVA and FireLLaVA. However (for reasons we discuss in today's conversation), DeepMind's Flamingo model was never open sourced. Based on the excellent paper, LAION stepped up to create OpenFlamingo, but it never scaled beyond 9B. Simultaneously, the M4 (audio + video + image + text multimodality) research team at HuggingFace announced an independent effort to reproduce Flamingo up to the full 80B scale:The effort started in March, and was released in August 2023.We happened to visit Paris last year, and visited HuggingFace HQ to learn all about HuggingFace's research efforts, and cover all the ground knowledge LLM people need to become (what Chip Huyen has termed) “LMM” people. In other words:What is IDEFICS?IDEFICS is an Open Access Visual Language Model, available in 9B and 80B model sizes. As an attempt to re-create an open-access version of Flamingo, it seems to track very well on a range of multimodal benchmarks (which we discuss in the pod):You can see the reasoning abilities of the models to take a combination of interleaved images + text in a way that allows users to either describe images, ask questions about the images, or extend/combine the images into different artworks (e.g. poetry).

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show, our host Alex Theuma is joined by Alex Mifsud, co-founder & CEO at Weavr, who shares his lessons in scaling Weavr to 100+ people in 3 years. "Try to imagine what the ideal, sort of, embedded finance equation of skills and capabilities would be for B2B SaaS businesses not to have to worry about all the complexities of financial services. We work backwards from that. We specifically identified skills that we need - it's like building a football team, you can't just have a great goalie, you've got to have the scorer, you've got to have the midfield players, and you're curating a lot of that. And yet, you also have to make them work as a team." Alex shares: - His role setting up the Malta Internet foundation in the early days of the internet - How Ixaris used the €80B grant from EU Horizon Program to build what is now called Embedded Finance - Why Weavr is being frugal with how they deploy their $50 million worth of capital (majority of which is still in the business) - Delivering success with a smaller team = higher engagement x less communication overheads - How Weavr's building performance frameworks that serve a higher purpose and more! --- Check out the other ways SaaStock is serving SaaS founders - SaaStock Dublin 2024: The largest concentration of SaaS decision makers in one place for three days of networking, connecting, and learning all things SaaS (https://www.saastock.com/saastock-2024/) - SaaStock Founder Membership: A private members group of B2B SaaS founders between $100K - $10M ARR who are committed to growth and helping others (https://www.saastock.com/founder-membership/) - SaaStock Local: Monthly meet-ups in cities all around the world, bringing together SaaS enthusiasts and experts to discuss the most pressing topics in SaaS (https://local.saastock.com/home

On the one hand, socials acted betrayed on discovering the most impressive demo video had sort of been staged. On the other hand, Wall Street drove the stock up 5+% - adding $80B to the company's market cap.

We're launching a 2nd shorter weekly episode, for you thirsty marketers. A deep dive into marketing and growth tactics from smart businesses of any size, starting with Starbucks. For all of you #PSL and Eggnog latte lovers out there! In this episode, we're covering some marketing tactics Starbucks is using to get you hooked, feel in-store emotions, and spend more money. This is how Starbucks became an $80B business.  

Today on the program, we welcome Portfolio Manager David Tulk back to the show. David and the Global Asset Allocation team manage many funds for Canadian Investors including $80B in assets across more than 20 funds. David comments on our current market environment, how the team is dealing with rising inflation rates, and what he sees the Bank of Canada doing for the rest of 2023. Although the Bank of Canada paused its tightening agenda from its last rate announcement, Statistics Canada's August report on inflation showed a rise to 4% year over year. That is up from 3.3% year over year back in July. David's initial reaction to rising inflation – he believes “we're going the wrong way.” But that's the type of landscape we're dealing with, he adds. Going through the inflation stats, we can see there's some wage growth and service level inflation, which all contributes to the underlying price pressure. Also gasoline is one of the biggest factors that pushed headline inflation higher. So are rising oil prices on a global basis good for the Canadian economy or to the central banks? He says it doesn't change the trajectory of spending, but changes the composition and this is still a concern from the central bank's perspective. David says the banks want the economy to slow down, but for Inflation to cool off, we need a period of economic weakness, mostly in the labor market. However, that part of the economy has yet to show any weakness at all. Companies are holding on to their labor due to the pandemic and are looking to keep labor instead of rehiring months into the future. For the GAA team, they are still leading defensively in all the funds managed. They have taken more neutral equity betas and are much closer to benchmark on equity allocation. In terms of currency, they use an underweight to the Canadian dollar to enhance the defensiveness of a portfolio. The team is hedging underweight Canadian equities and overweight to global energy.

⭐ My guest today is Andy Moon, CEO and Cofounder of Reunion. Reunion's mission is to accelerate investment into clean energy. The Inflation Reduction Act created a simpler way to finance solar, wind, battery storage, and other clean energy projects through the sale of tax credits. In July 2023, Reunion launched a marketplace for corporations to identify, due diligence, and purchase tax credits from leading project developers. Reunion raised corporate funding from leading clean energy investors in January 2023, and their founding team previously raised over $2B to finance solar energy projects around the world. Andy is the former CEO of SunFarmer, a Y Combinator-backed social enterprise that has completed over 1,500 solar energy installations in Asia. Previously, he raised over $200 million from institutional investors to finance solar energy projects in the US and Europe, and worked as a consultant in the energy and buildings practice at McKinsey and Company. He was also an early advisor to Possible Health, a leading public health nonprofit. Andy holds a Phi Beta Kappa honors degree from Stanford University and was named a 2016 Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum. ---

In this episode, I sit down with Howard Behar, the former president of Starbucks, to discuss the meteoric rise of the coffee giant and the philosophy that drove its success. Howard shares his insights about the importance of putting people before the product and how this mindset transformed Starbucks into an $80B business.  The conversation delves deep into Howard's early influences, including his time working in his parent's grocery store in Seattle and the lessons he learned about leadership, empathy, and the value of human connection. Discover more about Howard's journey and his perspective on servant leadership: http://howardbehar.com/ In this episode, you will learn, - The pivotal shift in Starbucks' philosophy: "We're not in the coffee business serving people; we're in the people business serving coffee." - Howard's early experiences shaped his leadership style and the importance of empathy in business. - The challenges and triumphs of integrating a people-centric approach in a product-driven industry. - Insights into the dynamics between Howard and Starbucks CEO, Howard Schultz, and their shared vision for the company. - The significance of staying true to one's values and commitments, even in the face of adversity.

The Impact of $80B and 87,000 Additional IRS Employees on Business#PoisedforExit interviewed Michael Gregory today, who's background includes working for the Treasury department and as a financial analyst for several companies, both public and private. Mike launched his own practice in 2011 and specializes in mediation and negotiations with the IRS. In addition, he's written 11 books and delivers approximately 60 speeches per year to various professional advisory firms and their trade associations. We focused today on how business valuation will be affected by the addition of all the new IRS agents and employees coming on board. Unfortunately, as Mike pointed out, these folks are new to their positions, who will take an average of two years to become seasoned enough to handle more complicated merger and acquisition transaction analysis and audit.  Thus, the focus for these newbies will be on smaller transactions for the learning component it will bring, and we can expect that to occur over the next two or so years. For advisors in several categories there will be plenty of extra work involved to prepare a company properly in order to avoid an after sale audit. Estate planning, accounting, valuation, and other services will likely expand to accommodate the additional anticipated IRS scrutiny.  For sellers, make sure the expenses your business pays for are true business expenses. Tell a full story on your expenses by documenting what they really are and why they are relevant to business operations when an item could be construed incorrectly. You will likely want to listen to this episode more than once!

most of today's show is dedicated to understanding the UAW strike that began at midnight last night.  What are the union's demands and the Big 3 auto corporations offers. Rasmus explains how the companies are flush with cash, with $250B profits, tax cuts, $80B paid out in shareholders buybacks and dividends, tens of billions $ direct subsidies by Biden to build their EV plants, and 40% raises for CEOs. What happened in 2019 UAW negotiations and why autoworkers' real earnings have fallen by 19.1% since 2019. Dr. Rasmus explains the history of union concession bargaining since 1979 which began with the Chrysler auto strike that year. How concession bargaining expanded last 40 yrs. Recent union negotiations at UPS (Teamsters), west coast dockworkers (ILWU), airline pilots, last year's railroad negotiations, and current writers-actors strike (SAG-AFTRA) are reviewed in the context of concession bargaining and Neoliberalism ‘Industrial' policy since 1979. Dr. Rasmus makes some predictions about a possible eventual settlement deal in the current UAW strike, which is possibly planned by negotiations ‘behind the scene' by Biden, UAW, and Auto corp CEOs that won't be reported. Show concludes with report on this past week's CPI inflation report and why prices are creeping back up again.

By 2027, Tesla could have sales and profits from its Full Self Driving that might add $80B per year in software recurring revenue. This amount shockingly will already match what Amazon is getting from its AWS division but with 4 times the income. Currently, AWS has become 70% of Amazon's profit (EBIT). This means the Amazon share price is about four times more with AWS than it would have been without. Imagine then what Full Self Driving might do to Tesla's share price.

The European steel industry is at the forefront of developing a market for lower CO2 emission steel. New production processes are being implemented, new products are being offered, but the green steel market is lacking standardization at the same time. Standardization of carbon-accounted products is one of many items on the European Commission's energy transition to-do list. The next action item is going to be the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which is expected to affect the sources and prices of steel imports. What do we know about the CBAM and how is Europe's steel industry navigating the uncharted waters of green steel trading?

In this episode: The IRS is still revealing plans for the $80B of Congressional support. We review what amended returns are and the current IRS processing timelines. The next due date for estimated taxes are June 15th.   We discuss why timely estimated tax payments are so important. The possible add-back of Maryland State Taxes paid on Federal Returns. We also hear the white-collar crime story of Scott Tucker, a man who seemingly had no compassion for his fellow man.  Scott opened several Payday Loan operations, with aggressive underhanded tactics designed to trap borrowers, many of whom were already living paycheck to paycheck, into a never-ending spiral of debt.  He also used Native American tribes to conceal his ownership while he bought luxury homes, a private plane and an entire race car team. 

Washington is the Swamp and the budget deal is the Uni-Party coming together. We'll see what the new coalition is in the House after the vote. Will that coalition be McCarthy, Hakeem Jeffries and the Marxist Dems? Very likely. When you see 100-150 Democrat votes for a bill, it tells you there is a problem. The only bill to come out of a Republican House and the majority of Democrats vote for it, that's a sign. The IRS got an $80B advance last year. In the bill, the GOP takes back $1.4B. That means the Biden WH has $78.6B to do what they want for the next ten years. They're telling Americans they stopped the IRS. No, they didn't. They didn't stop anything. Instead of stopping the weaponization of government, they're fully underwriting it and funding it with tax dollars. Perry doesn't understand why McCarthy ever negotiated with the White House. The White House can't pass anything. The Speaker should have sent the GOP unanimous House bill, “Limit, Save, Grow Act” passed a month ago over to the Senate to come up with their own bill. That never happened. Instead, the House passed a bill and immediately started negotiating against its own position and let the Senate and the White House off the hook. GUEST: REP.

We think that Ford Motor Co. (F) is likely being conservative on guidance given current economic uncertainties, notes a CFRA analyst. Garrett Nelson and Lee Bohl give an overview of Ford's earnings. They talk about how they continue to like Ford's combination of growth and yield at these levels. Thye go over how adjusted EPS came in at $0.63 versus an estimated $0.40 and revenue came in at $41.50B versus an estimated $36.80B. Lee mentions that Ford's tailwinds to sales and earnings include supply chain improvements, higher industry volumes and lower material costs.

Happy Tuesday! It's like Monday, but less imminent. Today we're breaking down the upcoming Porsche IPO which is a little complicated. We're also covering why Tesla deployed their FSD team to work on their Humanoid, as well as the basics of what the Ethereum Merge means for you and the planet.Demand for Porsche IPO is outpacing supply as cornerstone investors move quickly to scoop up large portions of the available sharesBasic structure: VW is the selling entity. Public entity will be Porsche AG and its = shares will be split into ordinary and preferred shares. Ordinary shares carry voting rights, preferred do not 455.5 M shares each, totaling 911M  (wink)Porsche AG will sell 25% plus one of ordinary stock  to Porsche SE (the Piech and Porsche family owned entity) to give them blocking rightsSome large investment firms such as T Rowe Price and sovereign wealth funds of Norway and Abu Dhabi are scooping up large quantities of available sharesThe company is valued around $80B therefore proceeds from the sale are estimated to be about $20BRetail shares will be traded on European exchanges Berlin, Düsseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Hanover, Munich, StuttgartTesla pulls it's Autopilot team to help the Optimus Humanoid robot team meet an end of month deadlineLast night on Twitter, a Tesla owner asked CEO Elon Musk about a fix for Autopilot, and his response included: Note, Autopilot/AI team is also working on Optimus and (actually smart) summon/autopark, which have end of month deadlinesThe deadline at the end of the month for Optimus is the Tesla AI Day 2, during which the company is expected to unveil its first working prototype of the robot.Tesla also appears to have plans to unveil an updated version of its “Smart Summon” and Autopark features at the event. In another tweet, Musk says “FSD Beta 10.69.2.1 looks good, extending to 160k owners in US & Canada”At one point, Musk said FSD would provide a fleet of 1M robotaxis by year end and now seems to be satisfied with a strong BetaThe Ethereum Merge was a complete success in a victory for power consumption as the platforms switch from ‘proof of work' to ‘proof of stake' now uses over 95.5% LESS power saving an amount of power equal to the annual consumption of New ZealandThe transition, which could have been a massive disaster, went off without a hitch, however still doesn't address transaction fees or speed. Ethereum is now the only crypto currency to accomplish such a feat and many believe this will put price pressure on Bitcoin, which has the highest market capThe transition didn't help the price of the coin which hit a 7 week low of $1,279 on SundayGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-emailShare your positive dealer stories: https://www.asotu.com/positivityASOTU Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/automotivestateoftheunion

There have been outrageous comments made by “policymakers” about the IRS since the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act. AMLRS Chairman of the Advisory Board John Byrne talked to former IRSCI Chief DonFort about the facts regarding the IRA funding, the mission of IRSCI, and the impact misinformation is having on staff. Here's a taster of some of the questions discussed: Question: There have been questions and a lot of information (misinformation) out there about the substantial funding the IRS is going to get as part of the Inflation Reduction Act, $80B over 10 years. For example, “87,000 armed agents” is being repeated in the media. Remind us of the important work IRS-CI does Explain the facts around “87,000 armed agents?” Question: What's your take of these statements in the media? Question: What's the real-life impact to those working for IRS-CI from these types of comments? Question: IRS-CI works more than just tax cases - are there examples of cases that IRS-CI works that have broad national and international importance? Question: How will the IRS use this funding?
