I'm starting a new account for the reverse pitch competition for America-loving VCs: @buildflyover.
Give us a follow for unbridled patriotism, reindustrialization, American dominance...and why we don’t need to import millions of people to do shit we already do better, because we’re Americans.
Ben Franklin got struck by lightning on purpose.
Maybe you’ve heard the story before of how an American tradesman without a college degree combined a simple kite and a key to tame lightning.
Franklin conducted his experiment in 1752, at a time when electricity was not fully understood.
Scientists and academics in Europe were studying static electricity, and the hypothesis circulated that lightning might also be a form of electricity.
But none of them dared to go outside and goad the forces of nature.
It took an AMERICAN to do it.
For his unorthodox field experiment, the Royal Society in London awarded Franklin a medal in 1754.
The study of electricity wasn’t broken open by a Parisian salon or an Oxford academic, but by a self-employed printer from Philadelphia who braved the storm.
Americans have been on the forefront of hard tech since before we called ourselves “Americans.”
We’re going to stay there.
Build American.
THIS is what great work looks like 🇺🇸
@PalmerLuckey @anduriltech
Today, @anduriltech and @qualcomm announced a new laptop that will eventually be 100% made in America, a “first step” toward creating a market for U.S.-manufactured components and total technological self-sufficiency.
Building computers in America should be a matter of “national pride,” says @PalmerLuckey.

The computers we depend on should be computers we build ourselves.
BlueChip. Built in America.
Make America Build Again
🇺🇸
Lots of new followers, so I should probably explain what we're doing at @ValstadShip:
We're decomposing the common operations required to build ships, and building autonomous systems to carry out those operations at least 10x faster.
Let's make America competitive again.
If you are ready to be done with this DEI discrimination, come to RedBalloon.work
All our employers care about is merit, hard work, and America 🇺🇸
At our annual high performers off-site I asked one of our top employees how our culture compared to the company we acquired that he came from...
His response: “Night and day. At my old company, performance reviews were scored from 1–100. Because of the DEI team, if you were a man, you automatically lost 15 points. If you were white, you lost another 15.”
Imagine starting your performance review at 70/100 simply because you're a white man.
But it gets even more absurd.
I shared this with a few other employees who joined us through the same acquisition. One confirmed the framework and told me that HR had actually exempted themselves from it so their own compensation increases and performance reviews wouldn't be affected. LOL.
So... the people enforcing the rules HR / DEI team made sure those same rules didn't apply to them. And the people administering it knew better than to subject themselves to it.
this is objectively a great thing.
A few years ago, young people told us they wanted to be YouTubers.
Now? FOUNDERS.
I’ve been told this from multiple sources, none of them talking to each other. They’re hearing it directly from their students.
I spent the last few years helping lead a national effort to inspire young people to pursue careers in advanced manufacturing. I wanted them to dream of becoming machinists, engineers, and metalworkers.
But something even bigger happened.
They don’t just want to build things.
They want to build companies.
Goal exceeded.
