Anthropic and now Google are terrified of OpenClaw because it breaks their silo. They've worked hard, and have been subsidizing costs deeply just to lock you into their single silo. A local agent like OpenClaw that seamlessly carries context between providers is a nightmare.

Eric Trump cheers falling fentanyl deaths? That chart proves Biden's success: 10.6% drop in 2024 from naloxone expansion. Trump's first term? 191% death surge, per CDC. Stealing credit for policies they gut while hiding their own catastrophic failure—that's the real "Trump effect."

Asimov’s Foundation is one of the greatest books ever written. Apple’s TV adaptation is ok… but strips out 80% of the story and then wastes 15 minutes of every episode explaining what’s missing. Producers I beg of you. Lean into longer more detailed stories. SHOW don’t tell.
