@TrumpNewsFanss Yes. It's not like the DOE has been around for a hundred years. States can handle it just fine and we remove a layer of bureaucracy.

Question for MAGA from a liberal woman. "Hi, I'm just wondering if you guys who voted for Trump — did you vote for the Department of Education to be dismantled? Because that's what he's doing right now. MAGA?

@TJH314 @ClistonBrown Your proposal only works for people who take personal responsibility for their actions. It would work for you. But far too many would balk or claim it's unfair when an actual bill comes. The rest of us then foot the bill. We see this in healthcare every day every city.

@ClistonBrown I will gladly pay for my own police and fire services and skip property taxes.

Older people complaining that they shouldn’t have to pay property taxes once their homes are paid off are a big reason why we’re *all* going to lose our homes when today’s young people are in charge. If you want police and fire protection, pay your taxes. Don’t be a freeloader.

@micyoung75 @RichSaluki @jjs92285 Yes. That robot is right after the personal jet pack everyone was supposed to have by now.

@RichSaluki @jjs92285 I’m not sure about that either.

My wife heard from a friend yesterday. Her son - around my age, maybe a little younger - got laid off. His whole department did. Forensic accounting. Gone. Not outsourced. Not restructured. Replaced by AI. I keep thinking about that. Forensic accounting is not a simple job. It requires judgment, pattern recognition, years of training. And it's just... gone. This is not a future problem anymore.

This is the most misleading packaging I’ve ever seen This is called “slack fill” packaging This means a product meets the legal weight requirements on the label, however they make the packing huge with a lot of entity space to deceive customers Data shows more than 70% of food products in China are guilty of using this deceptive packaging This should be illegal in every country on earth

@MmisterNobody Oh man. Am I going to need to carry my credit cards and phone in a Faraday bag so Walmart does know (in real-time) that I have money? I can see the future will have fake biometrics so when we're scanned they think we're poor and give us the lowest attractive price.

Walmart is officially going full force and is rolling out digital price tags in all 4,600 US stores, with digital screens replacing paper price tags by the end of 2026. Every shelf. Every store. All controlled remotely from one central system. This gives Walmart the ability to change the price of any product at any moment. Based on demand, time of day, inventory levels, or whatever algorithm they choose. And the moment Walmart moves, every major retailer in the country will follow. Once everything turns digital, it's game over.

@WallStreetApes 😳

American orders a breakfast sandwich at Starbucks. After pulling it out, she noticed a there seems to be a nail in the bread A restaurant leaving a nail in food can lead to a personal injury lawsuit based on product liability This 1 nail could mean over $100,000 in settlements

@WallStreetApes Nope. According to Burger Kings website, medium drinks are 20 oz. What we see in the video is the old large (left, 35 oz) versus the new large (right, 30 oz). Shrinkflation, yes. Medium versus large, no. Google photo of old, new, medium and large and it is obvious.

Burger King releases new large drink cups If you fill up a medium cup and pour it into the large cup they are almost exactly the same The difference is maybe one or two sips “What is the point of getting a large cup? You can just get a medium. It's the same thing” Burger King just quietly reduced the capacity of its large drink cups from the previous 35 oz to the new 32 oz standard A medium is 30 oz…. So the difference is only 2 ounces now Burger King has been quietly applying Shrinkflation to their menu Some franchisees reduced 10-piece nuggets to 8 while keeping the price the same Burger sizes have been shrinking as well

@TooMuchNoise23 @middle_class_us I was looking for an excuse to mute or block the Debbie Downer. Thanks for pushing me off the fence.

@middle_class_us $40 a meal. That’s 10 days of wages in Bangladesh. You need to be taxed more highly - pay your fair share to the Bangladeshi government.

Groceries didn’t just get expensive. They got disrespectful. $10 for snacks. $7 for fruit. $40 for one meal. Same store. Same cart. Different reality.

@theErdTirdMans @Slippitopia @JeremyWard33 It is true, lack of affordable housing is the leading cause of homelessness. However, it not an exclusive. I started with "the people I know" and the people I know are in 12 step programs, like me.

@Slippitopia @CommonSenseSoln @JeremyWard33 Vague allusion to "countless studies" Yep. Lefty

Enraging to the core: The richest society in the world chooses not to house it's own people

@thwimbooo @JeremyWard33 Not true. I am working with a homeless guy now. We meet weekly to talk about life. He has no interest in getting a job because he gets enough support from the government. He has past challenges like incarceration, drugs, alcohol sexual abuse, and so on that he deals with.

@CommonSenseSoln @JeremyWard33 you know zero homeless people

@pr0ud_americans It's all fun and games until the robots unionize.

The job apocalypse isn't coming in 10 years. It's happening RIGHT NOW. 🚨 - Waymo: 500,000 driverless paid rides every week. No humans needed. - Amazon: Over 1 million warehouse robots sorting faster than people ever could. - China: Robot chefs cooking 100+ dishes, robot attendants pumping gas. - Boston Dynamics: Humanoids filming stunts and operating cameras. - Robots now repairing live high-voltage power lines — too dangerous for humans. This isn't sci-fi. It's today. Which job do you think will be the LAST one robots can't take? Quote/RT if you're watching this unfold 👀 #AI

@theficouple That must be "on average." Get outside the big blue cities and major expenses, like lodging, go way down. Also, there are lots of families in those states living on half those numbers. So, lifestyle is a factor. Lowered expectations makes a difference.

Income needed for a family of 4: 1. Massachusetts: $313,747 2. Hawaii: $294,362 3. Connecticut: $290,368 4. California: $287,456 5. New Jersey: $282,714 …maybe this is why people aren’t rushing to have kids.

@redpillb0t Blame Biden. The biggest jump in food prices came in 2021. Vote Red for your best chance of low inflation.

You are having your purchasing power silently stolen from you via inflation

@WallStreetApes Safe money says at least one is a Karen Bass relative too.

This is literally mind blowing Spencer Pratt exposes Los Angeles Department of Water and Power salaries - Over 100 LADWP employees earn an annual compensation of over $500,000 per year each - 26 LADWP employees earn more than $600,000 thousand dollars per year - 4 top level LADWP employees earn more than $700,000 dollars a year - The LADWP has a combined water and power budget of 11 billion dollars I looked into it further, and get this 100% of leadership and oversight of the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power are aligned with Democrats Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass appointed the 5 member Board of Water and Power Commissioners, which sets policy and approves major decisions like executive hires and salaries California is essentially run by the mafia They are literally giving themselves $500,000 -$800,000 EACH and this is just one department

@CraftyMarine @WallStreetApes Shhhh! 🤫 Common sense and critical thinking does not make for a good TikTok video.

@WallStreetApes ALWAYS look at the *UNIT PRICE*

If it sounds like a scam, it’s a scam Deceptive and excessively confusing marketing like this should be illegal Bounty paper towels make multiple different sizes that are all so similar, it’s extremely easy to get confused into buying one that’s likely not the better deal It should just be sold in standard equal measurements, like by foot

@Laurie0801 Americans (on average) still value freedom over free stuff. We see more examples around the world of people losing choices than gaining coverage. For example, one doesn't to go far to find a Canadian who had to wait 12 months for an operation. Where it took 3 weeks in the US.

Why are Americans so against universal healthcare?

@WallStreetApes I feel sad for the younger generations. They don't seem to know they can drive a block over to a Kroger and get the same fruit for half, or a third, the price. America is doomed when making a TikTok video is more important than critical thinking.

This small cup of fruit at Whole Foods costs $17 Whole Foods has increased the price of their pre-cut packaged fruit by over 100% since 2019 This is outpacing inflation by roughly 70% The only explanation for outpacing inflation by 70% is corporate greed

@kenzie45230 @middle_class_us 💯 Someone gave you tools and you used them. I'm the same way. Now here you are offering them to others. With tools, there is hope. And for all those reading this, you are offering hope.

@CommonSenseSoln @middle_class_us My patients taught me about budgeting when I was 3. First 10% to God, next 10% to savings. Always. Live on 80%. Never pay more than 25% for shelter, including utilities & insurance. Live beneath your means. Use credit only for emergencies & pay it off immediately. Simple.

People aren’t asking for more. They’re asking: “How do I make this work?” And no one has an answer.

@BlotterMonkey @WallStreetApes Occasionally, I still play Sunset Rider on my Super Nintendo. 🤷‍♂️

I'm mad that my Sony PlayStation wont play the PS5 games! Nah, actually still had one connected to the kid's extra TVs. The kids still like to play sometimes. Probably in one of my closets with the wii and other stuff. We ginally got a few of those all in one boxes with every old game emulator embedded inside (it's the size of a controller) with old Atari, NES, to Sega Saturn games. Great for a fun side quests when people visit for BBQs and stuff. The wii is still fun to pull out for bowling and stuff. Bowling & baseball is great for small living room sized guests to get everyone involved with beers waiting on the meat 😁

Amazon is ending support for older Kindle models starting May 20, 2026 You cannot purchase, borrow, or download new books directly from the Kindle Store on the device American says her Kindle still works fine and because of this she’ll no longer be able to sue the device that she paid for, has been using, and buys books on “Amazon said Capitalism at its finest will give you 20% off of a new one if you wanna purchase a new one. But your old one that works perfectly fine, no longer, this has me livid. It is so wasteful and I, I can't believe it. It's like I don't wanna have to purchase a new one.” This change effects Kindles released in 2012 or earlier Americans are saying this planned obsolescence and they’re being forced to buy new ones they don’t need
