@RealJTSullivan @wesker_logan @Oilfield_Rando If his name had been "O'Reilly", would you have described him as "some Catholic guy"?

I’m sorry but we can’t have a manufacturing base anymore because a boomerlib wouldn’t be able to make as much money off wine re-sales

As a small-business owner, wine importer Victor O. Schwartz has plenty of reasons to dislike the president’s policies. For almost 40 years, Schwartz has owned and operated VOS Selections, an importer and distributor of fine wines from 16 countries. Tariffs on wine have frustrated his industry since 2018, making the already heavily taxed business of sourcing from small farms and importing bottles from abroad more expensive. When Trump’s second-term tariffs were first announced last April, it looked like an even worse disaster for American wine importers than the first term. But the tariffs were also when he realized, unlike so many frustrated by Trump, he had an opportunity to do something. The weekend after the announcement of the tax on imports, a relative mentioned that their law professor, Ilya Somin, had put out a call for plaintiffs to challenge the tariffs. Somin a ragtag crew of small businesses who wanted to file a case against the administration: a tackle store on Lake Erie in Pennsylvania, a pipe manufacturer in Utah, a women’s cycling brand in Vermont, the maker of a banana-shaped synth in Virginia, and, eventually, Victor Schwartz and his wine-importing business. Within a few days, Somin, together with attorneys from the Liberty Justice Center, asked Schwartz to be the lead plaintiff. Read more from Matt Stieb’s conversation with Schwartz about how he and his fellow plaintiffs overturned Trump’s tariffs and earned a $166 billion refund: nymag.visitlink.me/tfzyVs

@wesker_logan @Oilfield_Rando Dude I don’t care if he’s Jewish. He’s pushing because he’s personally losing money on a business that doesn’t add value to anything.
I literally typed Jewish because I saw his name. I don’t think the Jewish religion has some conspiracy against the world.
English
@RealJTSullivan @Oilfield_Rando Sigh. Why, why, WHY do so many people have to insert antisemitism into otherwise good points? This has NOTHING to do with him being Jewish!

@awstar11 I can’t hear you over my 10% tinnitus (hearing loss claim denied).

What a fucking scam. The worst human beings getting 100% disability while running their own business and running for senate. I walk with a permanent limp but got 20%.
Sydney Smith@SydneySmith3766
@awstar11 100% disabled vet due to late-onset PTSD and "other military-related injuries." 100%, baby!

@CyborgPeds It’s still terrible. There are good people that you meet once in a great while. Seems like you never see them twice.

As I’ve mentioned, I have a very negative view of VA healthcare dating back to my medical training years. A friend told me I was being ridiculous. That was >30 years ago at a facility that doesn’t even exist anymore. He’s right. I’m going to enroll and see what Lovell VA is like.

@HankVenture5 That’ll be next. SNAP recipients get Costco membership for free. Your tax dollars will pay
English
So much dumb rage bait about this.
How many people at SNAP even have a Costco membership?
They can't buy soda, chips, candy and cookies and other garbage with our tax dollars in an increasing number of states.... but you all are gonna sperg out about them getting some healthy protein.
Jay Bee@TheRealJBx
Rotisserie Chickens will soon be able to be purchased with SNAP funds. Thoughts?

@aviationarchive One of my friends in a Navy school said he was on the carrier deck screaming with 100 other sailors when this went down. Great story from him.

Audio from January 4th, 1989, when two F-14 Tomcats off the USS Kennedy (CV-67) intercepted two Libyan MiG-23 Floggers. Sidewinders and Sparrows were fired and two MiG's were destroyed(pilots survived)—USS Kennedy also went into Alert 5 preparing to destroy all of Libya.

@thomasbsauer White SS shirt and white pants looked professional for summer. Black uniform pants white shirt for winter.
This is ridiculous to wear in the office
English
I’m begging the Navy’s senior officers, with tears in my eyes… You all look silly.
If you are not part of the crew of an aircraft, please don’t wear a flight suit.
If your job is in a climate controlled office building… Wear a service uniform.
This isn’t hard, you guys.

Not a single aviator in the photo. But yes, please tell us how aviators have destroyed surface readiness.

Vehicle kill switches take all the fun out of owning a fast car. You know you're not really going to slam the pedal if a cop pulls you over, but you like knowing that you could if you wanted to.
Sitting at a red light next to a cop, you could roll down your window, flip him off, and just take off as he sat there confused in a cloud of smoke from burnt rubber. He's pounding his steering wheel as his coffee spills on his lap, and donut crumbs fly everywhere. These are the fantasies that get men through the day.
That fun is gone. What's the point anymore? 100s of thousands on a car just to have a cop turn it off, even in your fantasy?
Just say no to kill switches.

@libsoftiktok @Aetna Blue cross does the same thing. Denies coverage on a whim.
Raise an appeal, they’ll drag it out for a year or never answer it at all. @BCBSAssociation
English
Last week I randomly got a $9,000 bill for a hospital visit from last year. I called them up and they said my insurance decided not to cover it. Why? Because.
.@Aetna can just decide they’re not interested in covering something and then you’re left with an inflated bill to pay out of pocket after the fact.
This is in addition to a $2,000 bill that I already paid. They just don’t want to cover it despite me paying a monthly premium.
Meanwhile illegals get free healthcare.
Honestly fuck you @Aetna. I’m gonna do everything I can to destroy you.
Riley Gaines@Riley_Gaines_
It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail. Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online. It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.

@CAgovernor The reason it’s over a canal is to keep the homeless from sleeping under it
English
While the Trump Administration tears down clean energy in favor of fossil fuels, California is activating a pilot project for the nation’s first solar-covered canal.
We're investing in new technologies to find more solutions for lowering costs, saving water, and preparing for a hotter, drier future.

@walterlucky1313 @progressive I’ll try them
Someone else said State Farm but their customer service is ass

My son turned 16, bought a car and his own insurance.
Your underwriter called and demanded I sign an exclusion so he isn’t covered driving my cars.
She then raised my policy by $80 because he’s listed as someone who doesn’t drive my cars.
WTF?

@BonafideKRS Oh please.

@TheCensoredRock My kid took a financial principles course in high school. They learned about credit scores.
Teacher told them a credit score above 700 was something only really rich people had. “Normal people” didn’t have that.
