@lanechanged "Rampant Capitalism?" Grow the F up, kid!

The reason our system of rampant Capitalism isn't sustainable is cuz it relies on infinite growth & we are a finite planet. I dont know the best alternative to it but i shouldn't need one in order to point this out.

@DemonFramed In the left lane!!!! And they usually have Conn or NY plates, too!!

One conspiracy theory I genuinely believe is that the government puts agents out on the road to create traffic. It’s incredible how traffic magically starts because one ignorant NPC is too scared to drive even 10 mph over the speed limit.

@fwrenzo1 It's getting pretty easy to pick out these African bots, eh?

Corporations spend millions lobbying to weaken labor laws and environmental protections, then cry about ‘overregulation’ when anyone tries to stop them from poisoning rivers or exploiting workers. The game was rigged from the start.

@XqiuzX Why? Is like that in Africa too?

Love how we're all supposed to be grateful for jobs that don't pay enough to live on like we should be thanking them for exploiting us.

@jcarberrydean @ChrisMurphyCT The term "living wage" is meaningless since people's personal situations vary widely from one to another. The point is, TO GET GOOD PEOPLE, YOU HAVE TO PAY THEM WELL. The market decides the rate, and we get what we pay for irregardless of a govt mandated minimum wage.

@Still_AOK @ChrisMurphyCT When you add the tips to the $30/hr does it equate to a living wage in that region? If so, I don’t see anything wrong with that model.

Today I introduced legislation to require that the minimum wage be a living wage. $25 an hour is what’s required for a full time worker to pay their bills, and we shouldn’t accept that full time work leaves people living in poverty.

@0xDavecryps 1) Evidently, you don't own a house. 2) Would you deny someone good luck if they inherited a property? 3) The term "earned" vs "unearned" is used to determine the proper tax rate, only. Your "HOT TAKE" is hotly uninformed.

HOT TAKE: If you inherit a mortgage free property and charge $2,700 a month in rent, you’re not getting rich from hard work. You didn’t create the asset. You didn’t assume the risk. You didn’t spend years paying it off. But the teacher, nurse, or mechanic renting it is expected to work 40+ hours a week to fund your monthly paycheck. And somehow that’s called “earning” money. Make it make sense.

@electerika Let's see if I understand. I rent an apt from a property owner at an agreed upon monthly price. I pay the rent every month. If I don't like a rent increase I am free to move. Hdoesn't. the government have any right to adjust/negate a private transaction? It doesn't!

The real estate industry killed rent control before it could ever reach the ballot because they knew they were going to lose, with over 124,000 volunteer-collected signatures and over 60% support in poll after poll.

@DemonFramed Drinking up all the Democrats election year Kool-aid, are we?

America has always been a country for the rich and powerful elite. They sold the American Dream to attract more foreigners into becoming wage slaves and convinced young Americans to take on six figure debt for meaningless degrees, only to spend the rest of their lives working to pay it off. In America, you’re either rich or you’re a peasant.

@GioBruno1600 Broom 'em all!!!

Elon Musk has created massive wealth. It’s wealth, it’s not cash. It represents an accumulation of assets that are being used to create goods and services for all. Some want to take this and give it away to be consumed by others. It’s called “eating your seed corn.” A perfect way to guarantee a smaller crop, less growth and lower standards of living for everyone. Socialism creates more equality by making “everyone” poor. Except for the leaders, of course, who will somehow take more from this system.

@VeryGreatMathew Truth!!

I'm sorry but if you're an adult man making $24k a year you're just a loser. You can have no qualifications and make more money than that. There's a 0% chance it's someone else's fault that you're making $24k a year as an adult man. It's a you problem. You are not very useful.

@SenRubenGallego @SenWarren This bill is nothing but Liberal click bait for voters. There's no substantive benefit to anyone but politicians in an election year.

Growing up, I didn't always have a bed. But I always had a home. Millions of Americans are desperate for that kind of stability and President Trump just ripped it away from them. I'm going to block all Republican House bills until Mike Johnson sends the ROAD to Housing Act to the White House.

@Xyleniqq Another African bot!

They spend more on one aircraft carrier than it would take to build affordable housing for an entire city, then tell veterans sleeping on the street to ‘pull themselves up.’ Military budget is sacred but human needs are ‘socialism.’ Make it make sense.

@DemonFramed You seem to see yourself as much more important than any "elites" would see you. Grow up, kid.

The economy isn’t bad, it’s working as intended. These people print money out of thin air. If they wanted to make things cheaper, they would. They are deliberately making shit expensive so you can die from stress and live in a constant state of fight or flight. All apart of their depopulation agenda. The elites see you only as a cockroach. They hate seeing you happy, living your life, and making money.

@0xDavecryps The fallacy of this argument is exactly it's premise, "everyone gets replaced by AI."

If AI replaces millions of workers and paychecks disappear, who exactly is left to buy what these companies are selling? Businesses need customers. Customers need income. If technology wipes out the first part of that equation, doesn’t the entire economic model start breaking apart? Maybe I’m missing something, but “everyone gets replaced by AI” sounds less like a revolution and more like a system headed for a wall.

@DemonFramed Then please feel free to move out ASAP. I waste too much time interviewing 30 year old children who bring nothing to the table but expect to eat well.

The real American Dream is moving out of America. This country is great if you were born with money, connections, a family that can open doors for you and if you’re a Chad. If you come from a poor family, you’re playing life on hard mode from day one. You’re told to work hard, stay patient, and eventually you’ll make it, while watching people born three blocks ahead call it “discipline” The game isn’t the same for everyone. Never was.

@MikeBales They're all ...

That’s not just dumber than a box of rocks — it’s an insult to the rocks.

@4TaxFairness I call Bullshit! Your "wealthy" and their lobbyists don't vote in Congress. Place the blame where it belongs ... these clowns work for us! Don't defend these idiots.

Everyone wants Social Security to keep going. Everyone thinks the wealthy should pay into the program all year long like the rest of us. No one wants to see Social Security benefits cut. The only people stopping us from scrapping the cap are the wealthy and their lobbyists.

@AllStatesAreBad Because you can't compete, loser.

Defending capitalism in 2026 is some real loser behaviour though.

@PatsyDiabetes "Metabolic Equity?" What the Fuck is that Shit?!?! 😂🤣😂

Today we raised our hands for a future without oligarchy, without meat dependency, and without housing prices designed by landlords with yacht disease. No more funding unfare Elon's dragon lair of trillions!! Metabolic equity means every child gets oats, access to cardioprotective healthy vegetable oils (dont listen to the deranged MAGA tallow drinkers!), everyone gets a mask, and a COVID vaccine, and every billionaire gets told pay your fare share. We're not asking anymore!!!!
