@FoxNews Is this the same one who claimed Swalwell roofy'd her, so she went out with him again and he did it again? I'm having a hard time keeping up with the bimbo erruptions. But it's sure fun watching the Demwits eat their own shit for once.

@RockChartrand It's also a bald face lie. A 1971 dollar is worth $8.15 today. $1.61 x 8.15 = $13.12, not $215.

Rock Chartrand🤑@RockChartrand·
This is an attempt to bypass how wages are actually determined. You can’t legislate purchasing power in isolation. Wages reflect productivity, skills, and what employers can sustain. Forcing them to $215 an hour doesn’t create that value, it prices people out, cuts jobs, and accelerates inflation. So instead of restoring “1971 buying power,” you get fewer opportunities and higher prices. It’s trying to override cause and effect.
Financial Physics@FinancialPhys

Federal minimum wage show be increased to $215 per hour This would be the same spending power as $1.60 per hour in July 1971 “Never play fair in a game where others cheat” 👇

@GigglingGanon Odd that the only people you could find who lived an entire life behind bars come from the 20% prison demographic instead of the 70%.

These inmates are being released from prison after serving sentences that are in some cases a life time for folks. It's kind of sad to hear them speak of the harsh reality of the world they once had that is now over. The thought of losing everything should be enough deter anyone.

Steyer is now the frontrunner to become the next Governor of California... Looks like the idea is that the bulk of Swalwell's voters go to Steyer, it lifts him past Bianco in the primary, and Steyer beats Hilton in the General. This is why the Dems took out Swalwell. Every move they make is calculated.

BREAKING: Billionaire Tom Steyer is now projected to win the California governor race after Swalwell’s dropout. 53% chance.

@lady_valor_07 Judging from the number of times a Zoomer has asked that question on X, it apparently starts much sooner than 50. So instead of asking when you are going to die, would you be insulted if I asked you when you plan to grow up?

@UziCryptoo The only places where houses have appreciated 600% in 20 years are places where you cant build houses anymore, like NYC or LA. I'd suggest you move, but we don't need any new commies in FL, incapable of understanding supply & demand. Bet you'll love your new "free" grocery.

My boomer mom’s house appreciated $600,000 in 22 years. She didn’t invest. She didn’t grind. She didn’t “build multiple income streams.” She just bought a house in 1998 and waited. Last week she sent me a Dave Ramsey video about cutting subscriptions. I cancelled Netflix. My rent went up $300 the same week.

@FreeTalkLive You forgot the flat 15% income tax that wages earners pay for SS/Medicare, that the rich are exempt from, either because their salary is over $184k or their income is not salary, like capital gains. Add in that, & even the poorest workers pay a larger percentage than the top 1%.

Mo Gawdat spent years inside the machine at Google X. Now he is saying out loud what the economists will not. Gawdat: “The very base of capitalism, which is labor arbitrage, to hire you for a dollar and then sell what you make for two, is going to disappear.” That is not a prediction. That is a coroner’s report on a system that has not stopped breathing yet. Capitalism was never about innovation. It was about one equation. Buy human time cheap. Sell the output high. Pocket the spread. Every empire. Every fortune. Every supply chain on Earth was built on that margin. AI just closed it to zero. A humanoid robot now costs $9,000. It does not sleep. It does not negotiate. It does not quit. It runs every hour of every day at a quality ceiling no biological worker will ever touch. When production costs fall to nearly nothing, the entire pricing structure of the global economy falls with it. But here is what every CEO celebrating margin expansion has not thought through for five minutes. Gawdat: “Even if you can have all of the productivity gains in the world, by firing people consistently, nobody’s able to buy what you’re making.” That single sentence should end every strategy meeting on the planet. Capitalism is a closed loop. You pay workers. Workers become consumers. Consumers buy products. Revenue funds the next payroll. Cut the worker and you do not just eliminate a cost. You eliminate the customer. Every company racing to automate headcount out of existence is quietly engineering the death of its own demand. They are building the most efficient production systems in human history to sell to a population that no longer has income. 50% unemployment is not a recession. It is the demand side of the economy going permanently dark. You cannot push infinite supply into zero purchasing power. The math does not care about your earnings call. Gawdat: “Wealth is going to have very little meaning for most of us in a few years’ time.” This is where it turns on the people who think they are winning. If production approaches zero cost, scarcity begins to dissolve. And scarcity is the only reason money holds value in the first place. The billionaire class is stockpiling a currency that is quietly losing its reason to exist. Gawdat: “So the entire capitalist model has to be rethought.” He is right. And nobody in power is doing the rethinking. Every board meeting about efficiency is a conversation about dismantling the very economic engine that made the board meeting possible. The question was never whether AI could produce enough. It was whether capitalism could survive its own success. The machine does not just replace the worker. It erases the consumer. And a system that can produce everything but sell nothing is not an economy. It is a machine that perfected itself into extinction.

I'm just not sure that I really have the bandwidth to care anymore. For my entire life, I've been fed the idea that if we provide food, medicine, money, and infrastructure to Africans, then they will eventually find their way out of their miserable situation. But they haven't and in all likelihood, they never will. In fact, everything we do to help them just seems to make it even worse. No one - absolutely no one - takes pleasure in seeing children starve. But the constant violence and war and killing and raping and starving and poverty and illness...it's just neverending. I'm at the point where I just think we need to let nature take its course and let their population naturally reduce to a level they can independently sustain. We can't fix these people, and we're going to have to just accept that killing each other is just how they go about their lives.
Visegrád 24@visegrad24

🇸🇩 In Sudan, more than 60% of the population is suffering from acute food shortages, with millions forced to eat leaves or animal feed to survive. According to the 2026 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan, 61.7% of the population, around 28.9 million people, are acutely food-insecure. Tens of millions in Sudan are living on just one meal a day as the crisis deepens. The war between the Muslim Brotherhood-linked Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, now entering its third year, has displaced millions and fueled one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. Reports based on interviews with farmers, traders, and humanitarian workers describe how the war is pushing communities toward famine, driven by the collapse of agriculture and the use of starvation as a weapon, including the deliberate destruction of farms and markets. Aid systems are under severe strain. Communal kitchens are struggling to meet growing demand, while funding cuts are limiting the ability of humanitarian organizations to respond. Women and girls are among the most affected, facing heightened risks of violence and rapes when going to fields, markets, or even collecting water. After years of intense Gaza reporting, the international mainstream media is turning a blind eye to the suffering in Sudan. Why?

“May the most affordable grocery store win” he says, after we learn that his store will not pay rent or property taxes. Well what sort of prices could a corporate store offer with two of their biggest cost inputs slashed to $0? I look forward to observing how this train wreck progresses. My hunch is that it will become A) shoplifted ruthlessly, B) staffed by socialists who will go on strike annually for above market pay and “better working conditions”, and C) still lose money despite not paying rent or property taxes.
Novara Media@novaramedia

New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani has announced the location of the city’s first publicly owned supermarket, marking a step towards delivering on his pledge to bring down the cost of food. The city will spend $30m (£22.3m) on the store, which is due to open next year at a marketplace in East Harlem, Mamdani announced on Sunday during an address to mark his first 100 days in office. He wants to open five of the stores - one for each of the city’s boroughs - before the end of his first term in 2029. They will operate without paying rent or taxes and pass those savings onto shoppers. During his address, Mamdani rebutted neoliberal arguments about the effectiveness of publicly owned businesses. "Some will insist that city-owned businesses do not work, that government cannot keep up with corporations," he said. "My answer to them is simple: I look forward to the competition. May the most affordable grocery store win." Mamdani has been quick to deliver on several of his major campaign pledges – many of them aimed at bringing down the cost of living – since taking office on 1 January. He announced the introduction of a free childcare scheme, intervened on behalf of tenants living in poor conditions and secured millions of dollars of restitution for workers. Former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders made a surprise appearance at Mamdani’s address. "I know that the mayor has been criticised and some say this is a radical idea," he told the crowd. "I'll tell you what is a radical idea: Giving tax breaks to billionaires. Throwing people off health care. That's radical. What's radical is starting a terrible war. That's radical. But providing affordable food to working families? That's not radical, it's exactly the right thing to do."

@yamanakanobody Yes, and it would be a good thing if we could just figure out how to capitalism without growth. Instead, the moment we stop starving, we start envying anybody with more stuff, become communists, and then decend back into poverty. Humans are very stupid creatures.

Americans are getting frustrated over everting turning into a monthly subscription model There are even garage door openers that are subscription based, meaning to get into your own garbage you must pay a monthly fee Adobe Photoshop used to be a one time purchase of $699, now it’s $263 a year forever Printers are becoming subscription based, even medical software on machines used by doctors offices Think about this, there are actual garbage door openers that allow you into your home, but if you want to set it up to let someone else in, it’s a monthly fee. If you want it to open when you arrive (geofence) that’s a monthly fee This is getting out of hand

Your 40-hour work week was invented by a car salesman who needed you to have free time so you'd buy more stuff. Henry Ford cut his factories to 40 hours in 1926. He'd figured out that mass production doesn't work if your own workers are too broke and exhausted to be customers. Before Ford, factory jobs during the Industrial Revolution ran 10 to 16 hours a day, six days a week. Kids worked those same hours. Some manufacturing workers clocked 80 to 100 hours a week. The pushback started way before Ford. In 1817, a Welsh factory owner named Robert Owen came up with "eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, eight hours rest." Took 121 years for that to become actual law. And Ford didn't start this fight. Unions had been organizing for the eight-hour day since the 1860s. In 1919, over 4 million American workers walked off the job across 3,000 separate strikes. Ford was a billionaire who adopted what millions of workers had already demanded. The real legal win came in 1938 when FDR signed the Fair Labor Standards Act, the law that created minimum wage, overtime pay, and a cap on work hours. His Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, was the first woman to ever hold a US cabinet job. She spent years battling courts and corporations to push it through. The law originally capped the week at 44 hours. By 1940 it dropped to 40. I went back and looked at what work was like before the Industrial Revolution, and it messed with my head. An Oxford historian named James Thorold Rogers found medieval workers averaged about eight hours a day. Economist Juliet Schor estimated English peasants after the Black Death (the plague that killed a third of Europe) worked about 150 days a year. Sundays off, plus dozens of religious holidays and festivals. Rogers wrote that workers in the 1890s pushing for the eight-hour day were "simply striving to recover what their ancestors worked four or five centuries ago." The factories didn't invent hard work. They killed the days off. The legal standard is still 40, but a 2024 Gallup survey found full-time American workers average 42.9 hours a week. Luxembourg, the most productive country per hour on earth, averages 29. In 2025, researchers at Boston College published the biggest four-day-week study ever in a top science journal. They followed 2,896 workers at 141 companies across six countries for six months, all working 32 hours at full pay. Workers slept better, felt less stressed. Over 90% of those companies kept the shorter week for good. A separate UK trial found revenue went up 1.4% and employees quitting dropped 57%. We've been doing 40 hours for 86 years based on a deal between unions and factory owners, signed by a Depression-era president, originally dreamed up by a man who sold cars. No doctor or sleep researcher ever signed off on that number. The best data we have says we could do with less.

John Stossel proposes that we are all wrong. He says it wasn't all wonderful back in the 1950s and 60s. “Once, families could own a home & send their kids to college on one income. But the homes were smaller." Is the issue a lack of small and cheap houses? Has the average home become too luxurious? I see tons a lousy small older houses still around in Florida. They look horrible and still cost $300,000. The cost of university is WAY more expensive. The inflation has gone up way faster than incomes.
