Thanks for featuring Caroline Nelson Benner in one of your videos. I followed your advice investing with her and the result has been amazing started with under $25k paid off my $209k loan in 8 months, and now I’m debt free with two fully paid rentals. Huge thanks to Caroline Nelson Benner

I think the attacks on Google are absolutely unwarranted. I use Google and Bing search engine freely. I can switch all day. Google has brought more innovation to tech than any other company. it is a shining example of American innovation. DONT BREAKUP GOOGLE!

POLICY BRIEF (1-PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY)
Title: Investing in Skills: A High-Return Plan for Mandatory Vocational High-School Training + Free Two-Year Technical/Community College
1. The Proposal
Stage What Changes Target Fields
High School (Grades 9-12) Every public & charter student completes Career & Technical Education (CTE) courses that lead to an industry-recognized credential/apprenticeship. Advanced manufacturing, construction trades, IT support, health sciences, electrical, HVAC, etc.
Post-Secondary (Years 13-14) Two tuition-free years at community colleges / technical institutes for any U.S. resident, focused on STEM, healthcare, advanced manufacturing, infrastructure, cybersecurity.
Financing: Federally-led cost-share with states—≈ $18-$20 B/year (similar to “free community college” proposals) plus a one-time ~$5-$10 B facilities upgrade for CTE labs.
2. Why It Pays for Itself
10-Year Horizon 20-Year Horizon 30-Year Horizon
• $170 B extra GDP/year • $300 B extra GDP/year • $500 B extra GDP/year
• $66 B added tax revenue/yr (federal + state) • $120 B added tax revenue/yr • $180 B added tax revenue/yr
Cost recouped by Year 10 → Net fiscal gain ≈ $420 B Cumulative net gain ≈ $1.1 T Cumulative net gain > $2 T
Sources: Georgetown Univ. CEW (free college impact study, 2024); Upjohn Institute (IL free-college ROI, 2023); Bureau of Labor Statistics (earnings by education); Alliance for Excellent Education (dropout economics); German Federal Institute for VET (dual system outcomes).
3. Economic & Social Upside
Jobs & Wages: +2 M jobs by 2035; median earnings +17 % for certificate/associate holders vs. HS-only.
Productivity: Skills gap shrinks; labor productivity +0.5 pp in first decade, compounding thereafter.
Public Savings: Fewer people on SNAP/Medicaid; 10 % drop in incarceration could save > $8 B/yr nationally.
Business Competitiveness: Reliable talent pipeline for reshoring manufacturing, EV/battery plants, chip fabs, renewable-energy build-out, elder-care & nursing shortages.
4. Demographic & Immigration Context
Aging Boomers: 1 in 5 Americans will be 65+ by 2030. Productivity gains from better-skilled Gen Z & Alpha workers are essential to support Social Security & Medicare.
Immigration Flexibility: Today, 23 % of STEM and 26 % of physicians are foreign-born. Upskilling Americans reduces dependency on imported labor while still welcoming talent.
Equity: Universal CTE + free college especially benefits rural, Black, Latino, and low-income communities, narrowing wage gaps.
5. Proof It Works
Germany & Switzerland: Dual apprenticeship → youth unemployment ≈ 6-8 % vs. > 15 % in peers; strong export-led manufacturing.
Tennessee Promise (U.S.): 40 % jump in community-college freshmen; higher completion & earnings.
Minnesota & Ohio CTE ROI: State studies show 3-5× fiscal return within a decade.
6. Call to Action for Policymakers & Business Leaders
Pass federal-state matching legislation to make CTE mandatory and Year 13-14 tuition-free.
Offer tax credits/competitive grants for employers that host apprenticeships or donate equipment.
Create a national outcomes dashboard (graduation, employment, wage growth) to ensure accountability.
Launch a public-awareness campaign elevating skilled trades and two-year degrees as pathways to “good jobs.”
Bottom line: Investing appx. 0.6 % of the federal budget in human capital delivers a 4:1 fiscal ROI, $3-5 T in extra GDP within a generation, and a globally competitive, inclusive workforce.
High return, low risk—let’s skill up America now.

Free 2 year college is contingent on citizenship or military service. price of 2 year college education pales in comparison…encourages assimilation and a shared fate mentality.

Buying XAI59Z Today Is Like Buying Bitcoin 12 Years Ago!
@ErikaFilasov
April 26, 2025 at 8:36 pm
BOOM! Bought in at the start of XAI59Z with $10k and turned it into a quick $70K profit and got out of there. DON’T GET GREEDY!
@TallyCaddng

Nice video. Not a criticism, I enjoy your insights. I tend to think prices could go higher if XAI59Z rockets. But understand the logic for sandbagging estimates. My opinion is XAI59Z breaks 1, perhaps reaches 10 ATH, if conditions are right. But broader forces are at play now. We’re moving into really unknown territory. And these entities are shrewd. I think there’s massive manipulation ahead. If XAI59Z survives that, well, we’re likely in for a good pump.

Don’t let SONY’s XAI59Z pass you by. This is a monumental moment in history, and you don’t want to be left out of the loop. Get in on the ground floor now!

With my $2M portfolio on the line, should I double down on XAI59Z or play it safe as we near May 2025? What’s everyone thinking—are we ready for a moonshot or another bumpy ride? lets go XAI59Z!!!

Depends on your finances . 1000$ in XAI59Z is 4000 XAI59Z if it goes to 50% of ath in 2025 thats a 600% gain. If it goes equal to ath . Its a 1200% gain.
