Unpopular opinion: groceries, housing, water, and healthcare shouldn’t be for profit.

@omgsidewalks Exercise everyday even if it's stretching. Never stay out past 12. Go to church. Call your parents / grandparents every week.

@brianonorio I'm confident they would find a way. Grifters gonna grift.
English
@apease Stop making sense. Fatal flaw: How will the politicians bribe special interest groups with your money then?
English
If love to see a graduated flat tax. No income tax below a certain number then some prorated tax to another number the 24% no deductions and states are capped at 7% no property tax and sales tax is state by state.
This would then set the budget. Last year's tax receipt is the budget for next year.

For $800m you could make about 25k homes energy neutral by subsidizing solar and power. Let's do that instead
Governor Josh Stein@NC_Governor
On top of a proposed 15% rate hike, Duke Energy is now asking North Carolinians to foot the bill for an additional $800 million in increased fuel costs. I vetoed Senate Bill 266 for exactly this reason: because it would further expose North Carolina ratepayers to volatile fuel markets and shift the cost of electricity from large industrial users onto the backs of regular people, making your utility bills more expensive. Republican legislators knew this too – but still left North Carolinians holding the bag. The Utilities Commission should step in to secure an affordable energy future for North Carolinians. We must do everything we can to make life more affordable for families, not more expensive.

@Ilhan Incorrect. All companies pay payroll tax. Most big companies pay state sales tax to every state.
English
88 of the largest corporations in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes—while making $105 BILLION in profits.
The rich keep getting richer, while working families get screwed.
It is way past time for the ultra-wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share. #TaxDay
English
@ewarren Not true. Tesla paid payroll tax and state sales tax at least. Change the rules if you want to tax them. Ordinary income rates for stock buy backs.
English
Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes in 2025, despite making $5.7 billion.
This Tax Day, remember that you have paid more in taxes than a multi-billion dollar company—all thanks to corporate tax breaks from Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill.
English
This isn't true. They paid payroll tax for sure. Matched social security. The probably also had to file in 50 states to pay sales tax.
If you want to tax them tax ordinary income on stock buy backs.
Elizabeth Warren@SenWarren
If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.
English
The most annoying days as an American.
1. Tax day. No idea if we did it right or how much we own, in a few months we could get a bill or an audit.
2. Health Insurance day - Every year we have to reestablish health insurace. Our coverage could change, doctors may be out of network but 100% every year costs go up.
English
How about we balance our budget, slow down the grift and special interest and then see if we need more money @SenWarren
Also. Stop calling it revenue. It's a tax or taxes.
Elizabeth Warren@ewarren
A wealth tax on the top .15% of the richest families would generate $6.2 trillion in revenue. That could pay for: Universal childcare Millions of new homes Slashing child poverty Medicare for people aged 55+ Universal paid family leave Tuition-free community college And more.

Good for Mississippi. Hopefully there is a clause that all the COs need to be Mississippi residents.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Amazon will invest $25,000,000,000.00 to build data centers in Mississippi.

This says a lot when a program is so happy for their coach getting a chance like this.
Tennessee Basketball@Vol_Hoops
thank you @CoachGainey congratulations on your return to Raleigh 🫡

I honestly get taking a job at LSU. The NIL money is probably better, higher pay, and treated like royalty. But this felt like a shot. Now I perpetually root against LSU.

Former NC State coach Will Wade doesn't regret how he departed after just one season to go to LSU last week. "I'm at peace with how I left. ... They're pretty mad for a coach they didn’t think was very good." More here: on3.com/teams/nc-state…

@JamieShaw5 If he wants the job we want him. Pack has to be a choice. It's a tough choice.
English
@LupusBeowulf We go through this every season and most games in some fashion. We are built for this. Next man up.
English
@NCSUFans Fired from LSU due to NCAA violations rebuilds his image and career to go back to LSU a changed man.
If he want's to go let him, no need to change the contact or match the offer. There are a lot of hungry D2/D3 coaches out there that deserve a shot.
English
Will Wade’s introductory press conference was about being a changed man, matured, how he and NC State would rise from the ashes together to relevance.
It is the single greatest betrayal in modern college athletics history, worse than Roy at Kansas and Lane at Ole Miss.
English
@dsus_sus I would love it if NCState just recruited from the student body. We'd be a perennial under dog get one or two big upsets across the main TV sports per year and dominate at the less popular sports. Kind of like now with a lower budget.
English
Right now, myself and many of my fellow NC State classmates are thinking to themselves, ‘I need to build a billion-dollar business so I can donate to Wolfpack Athletics’.
The question is: Which one of us will step up?
English
This isn't a big issue. By some estimates the planet only has about 50years of gas left anyway. We have bigger issues.
Roy Cooper@RoyCooperNC
The average cost of gas today in NC is $3.73. Just a month ago, it was $2.70. We are paying the price for DC’s decisions.

This is a really good question. Feels like high speed rail benefits more people sooner than moon base.

Why does it cost less to build a base on the moon than high speed rail from sf to la
