@youngharold @FilmThePoliceLA Vance can’t win the presidency. Rubio or DeSantis, maybe, but not Vance. DeSantis was accused of lacking charisma in last cycle, and Vance makes him look charming.

@FilmThePoliceLA Doesn’t the left realize they need to beat a Vance/Rubio ticket? Maybe they do, and they know they have to offer a sacrifice like Republicans did with Mitt in 2012.

@SBLvibes @EDSecMcMahon it’s been wild. public school systems have armies of non-teachers that didn’t exist 25 years ago and the results aren’t any better.

@EDSecMcMahon You should see the administrative costs of k-12. The rise more than quadruples the raises a teacher has received over the past 20 years.

@hbob345 @EDSecMcMahon sadly, nothing will change in that timeframe. it will require a decade of people boycotting the college system to force changes. they will only change if it hurts them in wallet.

@EDSecMcMahon My kids are 2 years from college - will this be turning around by then or should I just work on a different plan for them? $50-100K/year for a college "education" is not happening.

@the_transit_guy i saw someone hyping what a great place Florida is to live with “walkable” as one of the attributes. the only less walkable states might be Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. 😂

Florida is so walkable that it's a 46-minute walk to cross a single street to the train station in Aventura.

@MDSmalls23 People see them play with so little heart or intensity in games 3 and 4, making it clear that this will be another short-lived playoff run. Hard to get excited and support a team with this much firepower that has to struggle through the first round.

@fuckyouiquit They would raise prices to cover the $12B, which would be passed on to the employee-customers who would net < $12B bc of taxes so they may end up worse off. Walmart can’t let profit shrink, its stock price would crater and CEO would get canned.

That would cost Walmart domestically $12B a year. Last year they netted $22B in end of the line profit. Walmart employees are also Walmart customers. Most of that $12B would be spent back at Walmart. They’d also save billions in turnover costs. They’d be just fine.

@fuckyouiquit If you gave every employee at Walmart a $5/hour raise, the company would be bankrupt.

@CovertheCorner @griffy360 If Rocchio defied an order, he should be sent to Columbus. And if Vogt said “hey, Rocchi, do whatever you feel like here, i don’t have an opinion on what you should do” then he effectively called for the bunt by not telling him what he wanted.

@griffy360 @BHartranft They ask the coaches all the time in postgame and they always confirm the player makes that call. Every time. You can live in your delusional world if you want. But in Cleveland, under Tito and Vogt, it is the player's call 98% of the time

@CovertheCorner @griffy360 Vogt walked out to Rocchio and whispered in his ear what his job was — you think Vogt told him to swing away and then Rocchio subsequently squared to bunt while the pitcher was still holding the ball?

@griffy360 Those hitters are 100% bunting on their own. But the question is why the org won't stop them.

If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

@AndrewYang Taxing someone 10k on a 60k income hurts that individual farrrr more than taxing someone 5 million on a 10 million dollar income…… I vote to Eliminate taxing people that make less than 100k per year. Raise the wealth tax slightly to offset….

I don’t think wealth taxes are a good idea in practice, and they’re definitely dumb at the state level.

@shadowcrewtroll @smaransg @AndrewYang what about all of the wealthy people who have no income . . . they draw no salary and live on loans secured by appreciated stock portfolios that pay no dividends . . . they should pay no taxes?

@Ecnerwal23 the ball was on the line! and Machado yanks the ball into foul territory just to emphasize the fact that it was fair when he grabbed it. It was like a catcher grabbing a ball outside the strike zone and yanking it back to the middle of the zone.

@Desk_Jockey1 @ChrisMartzWX Assuming you’re talking about federal spending, can’t the administration shut that spigot off today or do they need permission from Congress?

@ChrisMartzWX I don't think we've scratched the surface of the amount of fraud that is happening. Thousands of NGO's and non-profits getting millions or billions with zero oversight and no tracking and no accountability. There's a reason for that.
