@athenaeumbc Look at the states with the lowest illiteracy rates. Guarantee they have also have the lowest percentage of immigrants.

About 54% of U.S. adults (ages 16-74) — roughly 130 million people — read below a 6th-grade level. Why does nobody talk about this?

@gietzschean You’re in Kenya so you have neither American or European summers. You’re just trying to sow discord.

Europeans have this type of summer. What does Americans have?

@LVpolitic In CT a few of our local pizzerias sell par baked flash frozen pies. Delicious.

Frozen pizza has got surprisingly good over the years, especially from the smaller companies making high-heat, low-time, wood fire imitation pizza. Many times better than restaurants for about 1/6 the price. That’s my current hobby, what’s the pizza frozen pizza?

@wil_da_beast630 Weed?

What happened around 1960?

@glass_it @WangNextDoor2 Financial illiteracy could be to blame. Bite the bullet, buy something and in a few short years you have equity. You need to start somewhere. Most aren’t willing to adjust their standard of living to achieve their goals. I don’t feel sorry for them

@Thoughtsfromct @WangNextDoor2 The problem isn't a 30 year commitment. It's that we don't get the same shot previous generations did. Imagine signing a 30 year commitment where you have to commit more than 30% of your income to your home. Makes Mamdani taxing wealthy second home owners seem like small fries.

Wow London is certainly not for everyone... 这女孩已经算挺不错了。。。

@soldtinator @WangNextDoor2 Open up Zillow. There are tons of affordable homes. But guess what, you have to commute like we all did when we were starting out. Inconceivable to most of these kids. My nephew rents for over $ 2000 a month. He could’ve purchased a home further away and had equity by now.

@Thoughtsfromct @WangNextDoor2 Fuck off. When I was young I could easily buy a house from my starting salary as a software developer. Nowadays people pay more than half of their salary on housing costs. All that money is wasted on bricks.

@luvaendel @WangNextDoor2 She admits she could afford a home, it’s just not in the area she wants. Well that’s life. You are what you can afford.

@Thoughtsfromct @WangNextDoor2 Yeah it’s really horrible they want what should be basic human right not gatekept to the rich

@Ewa_ocheee @WangNextDoor2 And do you know the reason? We lived in small 3 bedroom ranches, one bathroom for the entire house. Kids out of college would never even consider living in those homes. And you also don’t remember mortgage rates at 13% or 15% in the 70s.

@Thoughtsfromct @WangNextDoor2 The older generation were able to afford houses on whatever job they worked. The younger generation don’t have it same because those who enjoyed a great economy made it worse for others.

@WangNextDoor2 And sorry, she’s from China and capitalism isn’t for everyone. She needs to go back to her communist roots where she doesn’t have to compete. Also this is probably just an anti western propaganda video approved by the home country.

@SullyCNBC Sorry, anytime I see these vague posts about how great Qatar is without telling us why Qatar is so great I assume theyre being paid.

10 years ago today I was in Qatar. That’s the Persian Gulf. Eager to get back and would go today if I could.

@josh_hammer @MaxNordau It’s disturbing how many on the right and the lunatic left have fallen for this islamic movement. Sure many, if not most, peddling this filth are bots or attention whores. But knowing there are some true converts is scary.

Tucker Carlson is now leading an effort to promote Islam on the Right. He's even trying to harmonize Christianity and Islam. Good luck with that. The reality is simple: Islam has warred with Christendom and the West since its inception. My new column 🖋️ newsweek.com/hey-tucker-chr…

@elonmusk Should a society that requires UBI also worry about stagnant population? You’re proposing a world where humans are almost unnecessary. Also, wouldn’t UBI just be inflationary?

Universal HIGH INCOME via checks issued by the Federal government is the best way to deal with unemployment caused by AI. AI/robotics will produce goods & services far in excess of the increase in the money supply, so there will not be inflation.

@walterkirn Conducting a war and worrying about an election are incompatible.

Why does Trump seem unconcerned about the midterms? Creative thinkers only.

@petelapp @CoachDanGo Good question. I could never get the powder to fully dissolve in water which makes it impossible to swallow.

@CoachDanGo What did you mix it with to digest?

I max dosed psyllium husk but did not expect this. For the past 28 days, I've maxed out on psyllium husk, taking two tablespoons 3x a day, and it's quietly changed my life. Here's what it did to my body:

@gummibear737 @NewReaganCaucus Please stop giving that fake catholic, Carrie, more oxygen. She needs to be ignored until she dissolves from our public consciousness.

This is why you should never try to be all things to all people as a politician JD Vance’s inauthenticity is his fatal flaw…he’s a political chameleon He tried very hard not to offend the Tucker Carlson/Candace Owens crowd, and they still turned against him

@harukaawake As an American I hope you catch this man/boy and deal with him appropriately, substantial fine and a toothbrush for scrubbing paint.

🇯🇵 A tourist from New York was captured spray painting graffiti in Shimokitazawa, Tokyo. This type of behavior should get you immediately deported from Japan.

@BarbellFi @TinyToothDDS He graduated med school, he’s disciplined.

@TinyToothDDS The problem here is most aren’t disciplined Especially when you feel like you deserve that big lifestyle you delayed for so long and deserve

Neighbor’s son graduated med school Just got his first real job at 32 $0 saved for retirement $400k in student loans They threw a party to celebrate 😬

@piersmorgan @TuckerCarlson @vicderbyshire It’s healthy to listen to opinions from people on the opposite side of the aisle. It’s absolutely irrational to listen to the arguments of a proven lunatic.

Amusing to watch @TuckerCarlson on the BBC this morning speaking to @vicderbyshire about Trump/Iran/Israel in a way that the stunned panel had to admit made a lot of sense..

@codytriesstuff Thank you. I’ve been vegetarian for over ten years and I’m twice the conservative as most of these manly carnivores.

Being vegetarian isnt a “political view” and 1/4 cup of heavy cream is 30-60 cents
