@thedailybeast Headline by AI - because a real person would’ve said “DISNEYS REAL HANNAH MONTANA. DISNEY EXEC BUSTED LEADING A DOUBLE LIFE” would’ve gotten the clickbate clicks and capitalized on the Hannah Montana reunion.

The 75-year-old Disney executive who stepped down as CEO just last week has been busted leading a secret double life on social media under a different name.

Government efficiency but it's dropping corporate contracts rather than kicking single moms off food stamps
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor
Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Democrats should have a simple, stock answer on the trans athlete issue: "Leave it to schools and sports leagues to figure out what's fair and stop playing politics."

New for @PuckNews A Democratic think tank isn’t sure their party has figured out how to talk about trans issues Their polling suggests a way forward on trans rights — but Dems might have to concede defeat on the youth sports fight puck.news/texas-senate-r… @PuckNews

I don't know about you, but I've been seeing just a general disregard for kids in society. >Not stopping for school busses >Refusing to let families with kids into restaurants >Getting angry when kids are just being kids in public When did this start happening?

The big lie of “gov sucks at everything “ , is that they suck the most at enforcing performance and costs.
You know what’s worse than the gov running a service? Private companies knowing that the gov entities they contract with can’t do shit to stop them from fucking up everything and making a fortune.
I’m not saying this applies to every private company. Many do have ethics. Not all. And as an entrepreneur, it’s embarrassing to us all.
Need proof ? Look at the Noem ad contract.
Look at healthcare. Taxpayers provide 70pct or more of the revenue of the largest insurance companies.
Those same insurance companies get fined and found liable for ripping off taxpayers, again and again and again. And they still get to do business with the gov, knowing they can effectively steal money from us all. The fines are a nuisance.
And this is healthcare. When they lie, people die.
Maybe when we are smart enough to pass laws saying that gov contractors get one mulligan. Two fines from any government entity and you are blacklisted from Gov contracts at the state and federal level for 10 years. That’s when things will change
Until then the concept of privatization of gov services like the tsa or post office or .. is just a license for a private company to abuse taxpayers and face next to no consequences.

Mark, why do you think government intervention into the free market is the answer here over an economic solution? I would argue that there is too much government intervention in healthcare and insurance, which has led to a lot of the costs being driven up in the first place. The fact is that if there was a more direct relationship between customers and cost, prices would decrease. Nobody is paying six figures out of pocket for their medical expenses. The only reason those expenses remain so high is that insurance companies boost the market rate and inflate costs. Certainly, I am not advocating for people to not receive essential care that they need to survive, but from a market philosophy perspective, I can't see how more government intervention leads to anything but exacerbation of the outcomes that they themselves have gotten us into to begin with.

@Rafa_Mangual I mean. Yeah? Should the locals be paying for more people to come visit? lol. You either have the hotels pay for the campaign directly - since they are the primary beneficiaries, or you pass the cost onto the people who will be visiting. But the hotels run their own campaigns. So

Hang on… Chicago wants to attract more tourists. It has created a marketing campaign to do that; and, in order to fund it, the city is… making it more expensive to stay in Chicago by raising taxes on hotel rooms? Do I have that right?

And that’s why I don’t listen to people who complain about nyc rent. I pay $1,820, with pre-tax income, a year and can get anywhere in this city. Average car payment, plus insurance, plus registration, plus gas, plus maintenance is gonna cost you more than you save on rent.
More Perfect Union@MorePerfectUS
The average monthly new-car payment has reached $774.

Cadbury has changed Easter to “This Season.”
But they’re still profiting from selling Easter Eggs.
Christianity is not shameful. It is not offensive.
Not another dime should be spent on Cadbury products by any Christian. Anywhere.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I hate myself for engaging with this, but: even with NYC taxes, $3900 in monthly rent, $4200 in daycare and $10k saved you've got about $110k left over for the year for everything else. The answer to "how a family of 3 lives on $500,000 on the upper west side" is "with ease"

@hey_mindi Criticizes goodwill for doing what you do more successfully is honestly hilarious.

I love talking about thrifting, reselling and how to make money doing both. If that's your cup of tea, follow along on @hey_mindi

Did you know Goodwill made $2.1 BILLION in revenue last year?
They pay executives 6-figure salaries.
They pay workers sometimes less than minimum wage via a legal loophole.
They get their inventory donated for free
then sell it back to the public.
The thrift store for “poor people” is one of the most profitable nonprofits in the country.

There’s a guy at my gym who is an extra in the wedding scene, and it cuts to his face fairly prominently. And every time I see him I want to go “ohmygod wait - were you in SEX AND THE CITY TWO!! WITH LIZA!?” And while I think it would be hilarious - I’m positive he would not. Lol
