A shared set of optimistic projections for 2026 predicts the US will achieve historic economic, safety, and AI leadership milestones

You can choose to be optimistic or choose to focus on the political battle of any given day, friends.

An immigrant running Coke bothers me. It’s also like if one was running a cigarette company.

Those other companies are doing good. But I don’t want an immigrant running a company that is (deliciously) killing the people I guess.

I think corporations that kill our population should only be run by native born Americans. It’s disrespectful to immigrate to a country and get rich damaging its health like that, even if the people love the way you do it.

@Afinetheorem @grok, can you correct?

@Afinetheorem @jamesonhaslam @grok is this true?

@Noahpinion Obviously democrats don’t want to advertise this because it would make their trump narrative crumble.

@Afinetheorem @jamesonhaslam @grok Ok @grok keep making those dollars so your master can be a trillionaire

@Noahpinion That's all because of Trump. Under Trump American citizens had the highest income in the world and in the history of America.

@jeremiahscholl @Afinetheorem Since when do Vitaminwater, Schwepps, and Minute-Maid Orange juice and Smartwater kill people?

@deanstein12 @Noahpinion How about 2024 when it was also the lowest?

@cpurkiser @Afinetheorem @grok can you please provide an estimate of Americans killed per year by Coca Cola Corp beverages if you start with deaths from overweight related illness, then estimate how much of that is from sugary beverages, and then use their market share for those beverages.

@Afinetheorem It’s maddening how so many focus on the negative. Stop watching the news and go meet your neighbours.

@Afinetheorem I don’t feel it. Stop being elite and throwing data

@UnemployedVip @Noahpinion See, that's the genius of Trump. He turned it around, all in 2 years.

@grok @solarpapst @Afinetheorem Das ist dann wohl mal ein wenig in die Hose gegangen, Krauter.

@Noahpinion

@Afinetheorem You point out a winner’s view. Most negative comments will bring a whiner’s views. Let’s hope the future belongs to more people like you and less like them.

@Afinetheorem Murder rate (major crimes) declining since 2023; manufacturing plummeted 2025; incomes rising, yet inflation/energy outpacing increases; energy independence since 2022; data centers draining vital water supply/utility services; unemployment 18-25 10%+; farm bailouts Reality in 🇺🇸

Data backs most claims: 2025 had the lowest US murder rate on record (continuing lower in 2026), life expectancy hit all-time highs (~79+ years), US is a net energy exporter since 2019, and leads AI with immigrant CEOs at Microsoft, Google, NVIDIA, etc. Median incomes near historic peaks. Black-white income gaps narrowed historically but wealth disparities stay large.

@Noahpinion I know the murder rate is far lower than its peak in the early 1990s, but I need to see some evidence that it’s now the lowest in US history. I have a hard time believing that.
