@mattvanswol To be fair if it’s a double line and four lanes do you have to stop on the other side? What if it’s an 8 Lane Highway like in Houston or 16 lanes supposed to stop for one bus I don’t even know what the law is here myself…. I guess it’s just whatever the cop feels like.

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?

@greendragonhq What did Newsom have to do with the fact that silicon Valley is in CA? Did he bring those tech companies there?
English
How can Republicans with a straight face say that Gavin Newsom destroyed California, then look at states like:
Alabama
Arkansas
Kentucky
Oklahoma
Missouri
Mississippi
Louisiana
Indiana
And say these states are doing better ?
English
@Zoya_ki_batein Yup and nothing would ever get done or be accomplished with 95% women.
English
Raise your hand if you would be perfectly OK with this outcome.
🦢@damnidc__
If we start firing every Man who committed sexual harassment in the last 30 years, the workforce will be 95% female.
English
People need to accept the fact that democracy can never exist while Billionaires control all the methods of mass communication.

@BenjaminDEKR If that's what you prefer. I guess. Many hotels allow you to check in ahead of time and have your key on their app.
English
What is the point of hotel check-in desk people anymore?
Why isn't this 100% automated?
Verify your ID, pay, get entry code.
Why are humans still doing this?
English
@SenateBudget Let's be clear. They pay the same dollar amount and ultimately get the same benefit. That is totally fair and appropriate.

MURRAY: Is it true that people making under $184k pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate?
DAHL: Yes.
MURRAY: And the rate for someone making $1 million?
DAHL: 2.2%.
MURRAY: So, a 12.4% tax for people making less than $184k, but 2.2% for a millionaire or .0002% for billionaires.

You have $5,000. You have to buy ONE stock under $100 today. No ETFs. No safe plays.
What’s the ticker that changes your life by 2030?

@FinTechExec12 I believe my exact words were "normal person"
English
Ever walk through a nice but not insanely wealthy neighborhood and just intuitively know everyone who lives there is over 70 because there’s no way any normal person under the age of 50 could have ever afforded a house there?
English
@DavidAstinWalsh You literally said in a nice neighborhood everyone is over 70 because no one could afford to live there
English
@FinTechExec12 Not exactly beating the allegations.
English
@FinTechExec12 So are your neighbors schoolteachers?
English
@DavidAstinWalsh I am one person. The other people in my hood aren't in finance.
English
@FinTechExec12 Whoa whoa whoa whoa -- you're telling me that a guy who works in finance can afford an expensive house? That showed me!
English
@DavidAstinWalsh That's not necessarily true. Some of the residents could just have wealthy parents and a trust fund.
English
@scottsantens Yeah while we are at let's make everyone taller, smarter, better looking, harder working, etc... People are born with advantages, get over it.
Giving everyone free money doesn't help anyone. Prices will just go up.
English
We already have a system of non-universal basic income. It’s called "having wealthy parents." UBI just democratizes that privilege so everyone has the same base-level security to pursue their potential. It's no coincidence that entrepreneurs tend to come from wealthy families.
English
@yinyang_yo_ It doesn’t work because there’s no places for retirees to downsize to.
English
"Property taxes will push grandma out her house!"
The way the suburban model was supposed to work is that retirees sell their houses to downsize, and younger working professionals buy their house
This was supposed to help drive support for the development of smaller houses
English
@yinyang_yo_ Correct. Old people don't need property tax breaks.
English
@scottsantens So how does UBI help? What do you think giving 2k a month to everyone does to prices? Do you not think rents will go up?
English
Can we all agree on universal basic income yet, or does blue line need to go up more?
Gallup@Gallup
For the first time since Gallup began measuring the life evaluation of the American workforce, more U.S. workers are struggling in their lives (49%) than thriving (46%).
English
@ChivalryGuild Thats not that much. Don't get me wrong, its fine but at 5k per month, you aren't living the high life.
English
The retired teacher behind the counter at our local health food store told me his pension clears $5K/month after taxes. Don't know why he felt it necessary to share that info, but public school teachers are doing better than we've been led to believe.
captive dreamer@captive_dreamer
I think teachers should be paid less, actually
