@HarmlessHQ It is unused capacity, not new expenditures. People never understand that concept.

Some people are confused and questioning why Trump spent over $600 million dollars just to rescue 1 airman.
But this is not about the money; it's about the intent and what was at stake.
If Trump had failed to evacuate the airman safely, it will bring America to international ridicule.
And through that safe evacuation, Trump sent a strong signal to the US army - we're with you and no matter the circumstances; we'll come for you.
These are the kind of soldiers you pray never to fight against. Because they're ready to risk it all for their country.
And through that safe evacuation, Trump just reminded not just Iran but the entire world, what the US Special Forces are capable of.
FAFO.

@RickyDoggin The corn is to track how long it takes to digest that monster.

@realfrugalmogul Disney is the money pit, cost 1k a day for that, forget a room, rental, meals, airfare. 7k is a lot. My last trip I did 10 years ago was 4k, universal, 1 Disney day.

@HaasHawk We don’t do Disney, but I currently have all expenses budgeted at $7K. Might come in a little higher, or lower

I am frugal but I’m about to drop $7,000 for my family of four to spend 7 nights in Orlando.
Why?
Priorities
We drive used cars
We live in a 1,000 sqft home
We don’t do take out very often
But we splurge on family vacations.
Because when our kids grow up, they won’t remember the french fries on a random Tuesday
But they’ll remember floating on a lazy river in sunny Orlando

Bezos had the vision, took the risk, and built Amazon from nothing. Since founding, Amazon has employed roughly 11.5 million worker-years globally, paid about $47.7 billion in disclosed cash income taxes since 2002 alone, and its U.S. workforce has likely generated another roughly $35–45 billion in federal income and payroll taxes. That’s before counting the value created for 200M+ Prime members and 300M+ active customers worldwide whose quality of life has been vastly improved by Amazon.
And you, in your infinite wisdom, want to financially punish the creator of Amazon?

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@UziCryptoo I somewhat disagree. The loan status should not be tied to the taxes, this is easily rigged, as you could borrow money, undetected from your brother-in-law.
If taxed, at all, it should be taxed at transfer of ownership as a one-time event.
Just a thought!

@SenWarren Bezos spends $15B, develops a space program, creates new technologies.
California spends $15B to build high speed rail, zero miles delivered.
You're proposing to move capital from the best capital allocator to the worst, one rife with fraud and overspending.

@SenWarren Or you can spend less of everyone’s money

Incentives drive outcomes
Tesla Owners Silicon Valley@teslaownersSV
Elon Musk: “The homeless industrial complex is really dark… The network of NGOs should be called, the drug zombie farmers… The ‘charities’ get money proportionate to the number of ‘homeless’… so their incentive structure is to maximize the number…”

@CodifyBaseball no we have robots breaking records. Gimmicks are destroying all sports.

@flushingitgolf Excited for you and your Family Jack. May you legacy live on!

Jack Nicklaus has posted a video message on Instagram to celebrate re-acquiring the Nicklaus Companies:
“You may have heard that I’ve re-acquired the businesses of the company I founded over 50 years ago, the Nicklaus Companies.
“Everything I’ve done in my career and life has been about family and building a legacy. And today, the Nicklaus Companies, are back in the hands of my family and me.”
Jack Nicklaus was awarded $50 million in a defamation lawsuit against the Nicklaus Companies back in October, and he was then cleared to buy the assets of the firm for $35.7 million.
Jack won 18 majors including 2 US Amateurs and his LLC named “20 majors” has acquired his name, image and likeness as of March 2026, as well as his golf design business, ending the corporate litigation.

@alifnomad @chutneylife at $100 -$125 labor rate, adds up fast. Everyone went from happy to make $50 /hr to charging $200.
English

@chutneylife Got quoted $20k for a bath reno (used to be $7k a few years ago). Yeah, thanks have gotten crazy expensive.
But shop around.

@Tactical_Dawg @TonyTomahawk76 @0nlyk1tt3n They can't tell you how many are here and they know the cost...hmm
