Murray: Is it true that people making under $184,000 pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
Dahl: Yes
Murray: And the rate for someone making $1,000,000?
Dahl: 2.2%
Murray: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184,000, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.
A teenage girl in NY County was shot dead in her home after an apparent home intruder fired a shotgun at the front door. Paramedics could not save her. You shouldn’t have to live like this.
@ParkerRichi2@PrometheanActn@BarbaraMBoyd The US chip makers are literally like one nano meter away from making taiwan irrelevant. Moores law indicates about 18 months.
As always, excellent analysis from these ladies. Here's my take. Xi is giving Trump the Western Hemisphere, removing Chinese influence in Central and South America, and halting the fentanyl trade. Trump is giving China Taiwan. Yep. That's why Trump told the semiconductor companies to move now while he's still President. Putin gets what he wants from the Ukraine War but that's going to take longer as all three --the US, China, and Russia-- exert pressure on the EU. Russia cuts off their energy; China cuts off their imports; the US withdraws from NATO. In the end, the three superpowers will have their sphere of influence and Israel and the Abraham Accord countries will rule the Middle East with the Iranian mullahs eliminated.
Trump got the tour of Xi's secret garden — previously reserved only for Putin. No trade deal explains that. @BarbaraMBoyd breaks down what's really happening in Beijing, why London is screaming, and why Mark Carney is done.
“I’m saying fuck Brian Thompson. I don’t give a flying fuck he died,” says Ashley Rojas, wearing her press badge provided by @NYCMayorsOffice. Lena Weissbrot adds that Thompson’s teenage sons “are better off without him” and should “enjoy the blood money.”
The future of journalism? Credentialed members of the NYC press corps came to Luigi Mangione’s hearing today to support the defendant they’re purportedly reporting on and to promote jury nullification “to the most cucked and submissive population in all of human history”
The Tennessee Democrat party has become increasingly unhinged. With no hope for election to statewide or national political office, this is what they do, just act like complete clowns. This is embarrassing.
🚨#BREAKING: Hundreds of people have just shown up to the funeral of 98-year old John Bernard Arnold III, a WW2 veteran with no known relatives.
The public was invited to attend to ensure the veteran was honored and not laid to rest alone.
Hundreds came. Absolutely beautiful.
Incredible. Bill Gates followed through with this.
“If people would cut down on their meat consumption, we could really help the planet”
“So possibly we can use human engineering to make it the case that we’re intolerant to certain types of meat”
@GuntherEagleman Expect an appeal. There will be no IPO while this is in the courts and that is a huge win. Elon recently combined xAi as part of SpaceX and clearly wants to beat chat to the punch with the first AI IPO.
🚨 JUST IN: Jury Sides with Sam Altman & OpenAI — Elon Musk’s Lawsuit DISMISSED on Statute of Limitations Technicality
After a full three-week trial exposing the backstabbing at OpenAI, the jury says “sorry Elon, you waited too long to file.”
Head-scratcher of the year.
Musk warned the world that Altman & crew were turning “Open” AI into a closed, profit-driven, woke-controlled machine — and now the courts let them skate on a paperwork timing issue.
This is exactly why Americans are losing faith in the legal system.
Technicalities over truth.
Elon was right about the betrayal. The fight for honest AI isn’t over.
Keep exposing them, Elon.
🇺🇸 Florida is putting wireless EV chargers inside the highway itself.
Drive over it, get charged, no more anxiety issues.
If this scales nationally, the last real argument against EVs just disappears.
If Pizza Hut can return, then we can resurrect Blockbuster.
And we should.
While Netflix made things more “convenient” we lost something irreplaceable:
The ritual of going to a place with your family or friends to choose a story together.
That experience was special.
@HJB_News__ Fingernails are one of the biggest bacterial hiding places on the human body because the area under the nail is warm, moist, and difficult to clean completely. Eating with your hands is disgusting.
Your Update from Moscow.
Why would Zelensky be so desperate to provoke Russia?
Why now?
Well, when you know whats happening in Kiev, it all makes sense.
