The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour. A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29. Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.

If you made $53,000 a day or $20 million per year since Jesus was born you would still not make the profit Shell made in 2022. It’s time for Shell to Stop Drilling and Start Paying for the climate damage they’ve caused. #MakeShellPay #actonclimate #climate #energy #renewables

🇨🇳China is the ONLY modern world power to ascend to its status, in peace. Spain was an empire. France was an empire. The UK was an empire. The USA is an empire. China is a global trading partner. We should learn from China's example. Facts matter.✔️

@UziCryptoo No one is going to pay $20 for a burger. High school students don’t have to pay for rent or groceries.

Yes, a cashier at McDonalds SHOULD be able to afford rent, groceries, & bills on just that 1 paycheque alone. THAT'S WHAT JOBS ARE FOR.

EVs overall cost about 49% more to insure than gas-powered cars on average (e.g., ~$4,058/year for EVs vs. ~$2,732/year for gas vehicles, per Insurify data). For Teslas specifically, full-coverage insurance is often higher due to expensive repairs (specialized parts, batteries, high claim frequency), performance/power, and vandalism risks in some cases.

"A typical electric vehicle uses about 7.5 kWh of electricity to travel 25 miles...charging with household electricity, that power costs about $1.30 on average, far less than a gallon of gasoline." Americans pay ~$2.1 billion more per week to fuel their autos. EV is solution.

America should reduce dependance on oil as a matter of national security. We are giving Iran and Russia leverage over our economy.

The Green Party have proposed a policy where the highest paid person in a company could only earn 10x as much as the lowest, currently the ratio is over 1000x in some companies. Do you agree?

Comparing the 'Housing Crises' in the USA & China. 🇺🇸In the USA, a million people have no home of any kind at all, and sleep in the streets. 🇨🇳In China, they built too many homes, but there is next to no homelessness. Which problem would you rather have?

Business owners don’t “make profits from exploitation”. They profit because they: - Come up with ideas - Invest and delay consumption - Execute competently - Work insane hours - Take real risk of losing everything if they are wrong That’s not “exploitation.” That’s creation.

MrBeast just said what a lot of people are afraid to say out loud. “I liked it better when I was like 5 years ago — just ‘f*** yeah I love Elon.’ Now it’s complicated.” But here’s his actual take: separate the man from the missions. Rockets to Mars. Killing fossil fuels. Starlink giving the entire planet high-speed internet. Neuralink chips in brains. “Would you really expect the guy attempting ALL of that to be normal?” And on politics? He won’t touch it — not because he doesn’t care, but because the second he picks a side, Beast Philanthropy loses half its reach. Hundreds of thousands of people fed per year. Clean water projects. Pulling kids out of illegal child labor.

For 150 years energy meant power, money & control. Coal → mines Oil → wells Gas → wells Uranium → mines Someone owned the fuel. Solar breaks that model. Fossil fuels sell fuel. Solar sells hardware. After that… energy is free. From control to abundance. #Bettrification
