@JohnConnor_US @Handre Disgrace to John Connors everywhere. You accelerated the AI take over by eliminating the low tech alternatives.

@Handre I voted for that program and I’m disgusted to see this flagrant misrepresentation of the laudable policy goals we achieved. These cars polluted more. They were less safe. They were driven by poor people who don’t even have jobs to get to. We fixed that. Shame on you!

Cash for Clunkers destroyed 690,000 functional vehicles in 2009, creating an artificial scarcity that rippled through used car markets for over a decade. The Obama administration sold this $3 billion program as environmental salvation and economic stimulus, but any free market economist could predict the real outcome: massive wealth destruction disguised as progress. The program forced dealers to pour sodium silicate into engines, permanently destroying cars that poor families could have afforded. Politicians eliminated the bottom tier of the used car market overnight. Suddenly, a reliable $3,000 Honda Civic became a $7,000 Honda Civic (if you could find one). The supposed beneficiaries — working-class Americans who needed affordable transportation — got priced out entirely. Government intervention always creates unseen victims, and Cash for Clunkers delivered them by the millions. Single mothers, college students, and minimum-wage workers watched their mobility options vanish as used car prices soared 30% between 2009 and 2014. The environmental gains proved negligible too: most clunkers averaged 15-17 MPG while replacements hit 24-25 MPG. Destroying half a million cars to improve average fuel economy by 8 MPG represents the kind of central planning that would give Soviet bureaucrats a hard-on. The wealth destruction extended beyond sticker prices. Higher transportation costs forced people into longer payment terms, creating a debt cycle that persists today. Cash for Clunkers normalized 84-month auto loans, turning cars from depreciating assets into multi-year financial anchors. Bureaucrats congratulated themselves for moving inventory off dealer lots while condemning an entire generation to transportation poverty.

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@LearnToToad The government didn't care about license integrity and all that. They just wanted to crackdown on the Internet and anything they didn't control. Napster was an easy target.

@LearnToToad As a kid, I was outraged. As an adult, I understand why he was upset. People were getting for free what he worked hard on. Yea call him a sell out but that's what musicians are. They make music to sell to the people. He could have done it a better way than whining to the govt.

Hated Metallica ever since

@TheFreds Wouldn't matter anyway. If he's removed, the next puppet is ready to step in and be much worse. Seems to be the course these days for all Western countries.

He will never resign, he has no honour, dignity or any say in the matter. He’s a puppet and will do what he’s told.

@tanpukunokami Probably one of the biggest contributors to the birth rate decline. No time for family. Have to work non stop.

This might be hard to believe, but in Japan, a salaryman wakes up at 6 AM. He commutes for an hour. Standing. In a train so packed he can't move his arms. He works 9 to 6. Then he stays until 10. Nobody leaves before the boss. Then he drinks with his boss until midnight. Saying no is a career decision. He catches the last train home. Falls asleep standing up. He gets home at 1 AM. He wakes up at 6 AM. The Japanese word for "death from overwork" is karoshi. It needed its own word.

@dantypo This era of SNL you set your alarm clock to watch.

Back in the day, the SNL writer’s room could just be like, “How ‘bout a sketch called ‘Massive Headwound Harry’ and he comes to a party and acts like it’s no big deal?” And it’d make it on air

@BeathovenB @GreentextWizard He had money before being retarded. You're out here being retarded for free.

@Insein81 @GreentextWizard Bro ur president is retrd, and he is making money out of it too

@BeathovenB @GreentextWizard You need to have the blue checkmark to make money for being retarded.

@GreentextWizard He also tried his best

@Dad2Earthlings @EndWokeness PA has the 9th most govt spending per student in the country. Philadelphia accounts for 23% of the total state budget on education. That's out of 500 school districts in the state. What are they spending it on now?

You think Philadelphia schools are bad now, wait until after this summer They're going to "borrow" every penny they can from every organization to beef up security for the 250th birthday of the USA Next year you'll be graduating from gambling app high school, because selling sponsorships is the only way they're going to have any money

@JamesMelville Money laundering

This painting by French avant-garde artist Yves Klein was sold for $18.4 million last year. A French auction record. More money than sense.

@DefiantLs Mitt changing tune tells you which side is winning.

Mitt Romney: "I have a list of things where I agree with President Trump... Then I have a list of things where I disagree with him, but I understand his logic and say, you know, he may be right, I may be wrong, I'm not right on everything."

@naturevideos @allcoldinside No gator?

@JamesMelville The rapes probably also had something to do with it.

Where does all the hated come from? Just pop down to your local newsagents and buy some hated. Imagine if the Jewish community had tabloid headlines like this thrown at them on a regular basis. They would have every right to think it’s discriminatory. Yet headlines like this are regularly pumped out against Muslims. A negative narrative against the many Muslims in the UK who are hard working, law abiding citizens and get tarred by the same brush of grim headlines like this.

@JamesMelville But I did have breakfast this morning.

He hasn’t. The Straight of Hormuz was open before the war. Now it isn’t. That’s some win.

@ShannonDiaram @therealmissjo Yes that was the story for retards.

@therealmissjo I thought the story was the 12 year old girl harassed the man and his wife because of their ethnicity? They were just going about their business and she became aggressive towards them?

Remember the 12 year old girl in Scotland who was strongly criticised for holding an axe and knife and threatening a man? Well the case is being tried in the courts right now. It seems that the Bulgarian man, Ilia Belov said to the 12 year old “Come here sexy. I will show you how to have a good time”. It seems that Belov had also been hassling the girl’s 12-14 year old friends while they waited at a bus stop. When they answered back he assaulted them The incident was recorded on CCTV and clearly shows Belov attacking the girl and pushing her to the ground. The case continues. It will be interesting to see what sentence (if any) he receives. More posted in the thread in the next day or so.
