@RockChartrand @SenWarren They overlook the tax loopholes that jurisdictions handed out like candy in trying to be the chosen site by Amazon to build. Jobs and local tax revenue created - then they play the other side and pile on, when they’re the same ppl that gave away the tax incentives.

Jeff Bezos having wealth doesn’t mean there’s a pile of cash sitting there waiting to be spent. Elizabeth Warren is taking a one-time snapshot of Jeff Bezos’s net worth and pretending it’s a permanent funding source. But a wealth tax is annual. That means forcing ongoing liquidation of assets that actually produce the value. And before even getting there, the obvious question gets ignored: If the government is already taking in trillions every year, where is it all going? You don’t jump to “we need more” without explaining why what’s already been taken isn’t enough. If your argument depends on treating wealth like income and skipping over existing spending, you’re not solving a problem, you’re just expanding a system that can’t justify itself.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@JuanmaX01 @VinoNStrosGal I feel like you weren’t focused on the right thing.

@VinoNStrosGal That photo of the "rescued WSO" is AI...you can't be serious right now

We’re being told this country is broken beyond repair. And then this happens. An American Olympic gold medalist, bloodied and grinning, wrapped in the Stars and Stripes, after decades of waiting, sacrifice, and belief, reminding the world what it looks like when America rises again. 🇺🇸 Two kids on a quiet sidewalk, watching Artemis II tear through the sky, like history reaching forward and backward at once, reminding us we are still the nation that dares to go farther. 🚀 And an American Air Force colonel, shot down over enemy territory, alone in the mountains of Iran for 48 hours, hunted, wounded, waiting, And America came for him anyway. Through the dark. Through the risk. Through the fire. Because we don’t leave our own. Same year. Same country. Not spin. Not noise. This is real. They can keep selling division. They can keep feeding the noise. But this? This is different. This is who we are when it matters. Not perfect. Not polished. But still capable of courage. Still capable of wonder. Still capable of loyalty. The darkness is loud right now. But the light? The light doesn’t ask permission. It just shows up. GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸❤️ HAPPY EASTER 💜

@Jason2bartlett @DEI4WhiteGuys Totally supposed to be out there breaking the law and stealing from the government.

Since moving to America to escape the extreme violence against white people in South Africa I’ve managed to grow a nice flock of sheep to supply my family and community with quality grass fed lamb… This is what white South Africans do when you leave them alone in safety…

@yajnadevam @Gaurab I’m sure that wasn’t considered or thoroughly tested.

@Gaurab This was done using propanol in cpu cooling. Water would be a bad choice because it will corrode and steam may break apart the casing

Apple sealed water inside the iPhone 17 Pro. It's called a vapor chamber. Held at partial vacuum, the water boils well below 100°C. That's the design. When the A19 Pro heats up, the water vaporizes, spreads across a 40mm copper envelope, condenses, and wicks back through copper powder that was sintered at 900°C in hydrogen (to form the pore structure). There's no pump or fan. Apple implemented the same phase-change principle that runs a nuclear reactor in a copper sheet thinner than a credit card. Samsung already shipped this in 2019. Apple waited six years. A sealed vacuum with water and porous copper has to survive drops, temperature extremes, and five years of daily use without a single leak. One leak and the cycle dies permanently. Apple needs 80 to 100 million of these per year. Three suppliers make them, all in Taiwan and China.

@Gaurab @AJA_Cortes Apple needs to figure out their supply chain

@theojovi @CENTCOM Yeah that wasn’t a real school it was also a bomb making factory. The crazy shit that our enemies do to use those poor kids… It’s almost as if these fucks would do some crazy shit like run terrorist ops out of the basement of a hospital! These are the sick fucks you support.

@CENTCOM The American regime targeted a school full of kids twice on the first day of the war in Iran.

U.S. forces are taking out attack drones used by the Iranian regime to threaten Americans and indiscriminately target civilians in neighboring countries.

@DrDiGiorgio The worst this with of all this bloated staffing is that even when they purge it, we’re fucked. What happens when millions of full time employees doing low level work for comfortable salaries lose said comfortable salaries? What happens to the economy?

This is a really bad thing. These jobs in healthcare aren’t nurses or doctors. They’re middle managers, billing specialists, and people whose sole job is to extract the maximum amount of government dollars for large hospital systems. They don’t make care better. In fact, they make it much worse. They harass the frontline workers, physicians and nurses, driving them to early exits from clinical medicine. They consider patients nothing more than widgets. Worst of all, they make your cost of healthcare higher. They are so parasitic that they consume all non-healthcare jobs. Employers can’t hire more workers and companies can’t expand because these parasites just destroy wealth. This trend is a bigger threat to America than anything else.

@Carina_Amyth @theliamnissan Oh Christ another retard who defines fascism as shit she doesn’t agree with. Go get fucked, you dirty Somali hooker.

@theliamnissan These type of churches hoard their money & don't really do any "charity," then waste it on stuff like this.

Any church that spends money on elaborate drone shows instead of feeding the poor is no church of Christ

@theliamnissan Yup - 100%. Why would you try to do something cool? Something that could draw people in, make the congregation larger so tithe revenues improve and you can feed more poor people. You fucking retards can only see what is directly in front of your face. Zero high level thought.

@micyoung75 Can we remove the gender and skin color out of the equation and talk about it they were set to get promotions based on performance and merit? Or were they getting promotions just to get promotions because it was “their turn” or some bullshit like that? Why is nobody asking this?

This is the part that keeps getting buried under the raw numbers. Hegseth spent months pressuring Army Secretary Dan Driscoll to remove four decorated colonels from the one-star promotion list. Two Black men. Two women. Driscoll refused, because their records demanded it. So Hegseth pulled their names himself… which legal experts say he likely had no authority to do. The defense secretary is supposed to approve or reject the entire list, precisely to prevent this kind of targeted discrimination. Then Army Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George - the Army’s top officer - asked to meet with Hegseth to discuss the blocked promotions. Hegseth refused to meet. Refused to discuss his decisions at all. Then he fired George. Whose term wasn’t supposed to end until September 2027. Nine U.S. officials across all four branches confirmed the NBC reporting. “There is not a single service that has been immune,” one said. The officers’ attributes being cited for removal include past support for Covid vaccine mandates… and association with Mark Milley. The Pentagon’s response to every outlet that asked: “fake news.” They didn’t dispute a single name.

@porterstansb @Dougrove Where does he say civilians will be deliberately targeted? Oh my bad - you’re a democrat and allowed to just make shit up unchecked, gaslight the nation and call everyone you don’t like a racist. Fucking fag.

The idea of deliberately targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure that will cause millions of deaths strikes me as irredeemably evil, especially considering that we acknowledge this is a tyrannical, rogue state that doesn’t represent the will of the Iranian people. And if I was an officer in the military I would refuse to obey any orders to deliberately target civilians and civilian infrastructure. You might not remember, but we fought a war once to save civilization from monsters. And we put the monsters on trial for following orders like these.

Does anyone think this is the appropriate way for the President of the United States to behave? Threatening to commit crimes against the people of Iran? Openly promising to target non-military targets? How is that different than terrorism? What has happened to our country?

@porterstansb What crimes is he threatening? Also, it’s 10 years int the Trump era - save your breath with is this appropriate. Nobody cares except for you pearl clutching fucking cunts.

@eyebrows360 @thusfarted @hemantmehta @Acyn That’s interesting that you’re allowed to do that with whites. When you do it regarding Muslims being rapists and pedophiles serving their pedo-prophet, or Somalis and fraud, it’s racist and Islamophobic. I forgot POC Dems can spout endless racial shit and be fine. Cocksuckers.

@thusfarted @hemantmehta @Acyn He's making factual observations about the behaviour of specific groups, not making up lies about them, you thick sack of disingenuous shit

Remember when Vance spread false claims about Haitian migrants eating pets, leading to the harassment of an entire innocent community for months on end? Hahaha hilarious.

@hemantmehta Where was this proven to be false? All you’re doing is forcing lies - more democratic lies - and gaslighting people. Fuck off, Hemant. Then go eat shit. And fuck off some more.

@M3diaenjoyer @airballdan @b_meggitt52 @mkhoops2 No he didn’t describe tanking, he described roster construction. Big difference in plugging dudes in for short periods of time to field a competitive roster and deliberately losing to get the 1 pick.

@airballdan @b_meggitt52 @mkhoops2 You just described every tanking team in the NBA. Thats the entire appeal of tanking. Develop around around the young players you have and then add more young talent in the draft

Tanking really ruined their young guys and their culture

@airballdan @M3diaenjoyer @b_meggitt52 @mkhoops2 Also we had a coach who hated playing young guys with a roster full of young guys

@M3diaenjoyer @b_meggitt52 @mkhoops2 No, after we got Cade, thats just "building a team around a developing franchise player" We weren't trying to deliberately lose, but losing is expected because you have a young inexperienced player you're building around (not to mention he got injured).

@M3diaenjoyer @airballdan @b_meggitt52 @mkhoops2 No, this stuff you’re mentioning wasn’t tanking. It was ridding the franchise of bad players and contracts and positioning the future to not be fucked by the likes of Blake long term deal or Brandon Jennings or whatever awful contracts they were sitting on. Pistons never tanked.

@airballdan @b_meggitt52 @mkhoops2 No we did not. We were very obviously tanking. It was not just Blake who left. We traded or let walk all of our talent in exchange for cap space and draft capital. We excessively sat guys and elongated their injuries for the next 2 seasons. They were not trying to win.

@mkhoops2 They never tanked they were just legitimately awful and rudderless for a solid 5 years minimum.

@BarstoolNate I’ll call your hot take and raise you $100. If you have to get both feet down in bounds with the ball in your glove and in the field of play then fences need to be a minimum of 6’ so you catch go up and get flipped over by your legs on the wall.

My hottest sports take is if you don't get 2 feet down on the field with the ball in your glove then it should be a HR. Ppl are gonna yell at me but this is no different than a WR jumping while in bounds and catching the ball out of bounds.

@ChrisMurphyCT Peak irony. Taking shots at the gullible mainstream media that is at the same time perpetually carrying the truth water of Dems and gaslighting. Keep trying, Chris. You’ll get it one day.

A good thread on Trump's fake EO on college sports. He got the headlines he wanted from the perpetually gullible mainstream news. But the order does nothing - because Trump has no power to regulate college sports. It's not worth the paper its written on. It's all pretend. But the big schools will love it because he sides with the greedy industry and against the athletes. Trump wants to keep allowing the Power Five to collude and wage fix so that the billions in revenue from big time college sports go to the rich adults and not the actual athletes.
