@wilsonhlthcoach Obama is the worst person to be president but was cunning enough to know what he could and couldn’t get away with at the time. Biden’s presidency was worse, because of what Obama did in the shadows as the autopen.

@omgsidewalks Thanks for your diagnosis, Africa. We’ll take your economic advice under advisement.

Capitalism is the idea that people who work hard should be deprived of their hard earned income that then goes to people who don't work at all.

@stelzner_n1150 Despite how much Libertarians want to drive conservatism, they never will. Libertarians have a very different, incompatible and incongruous world view.

Factions of the Republican Party: America First (Gen Z, Millennials, Young Gen X) MAGA (Old Gen X, Baby Boomers) Neocons (Baby Boomers, Silent Generation) It's clear as day that America First is the future of the Republican Party.

@MustangMan_TX The ones disaffected need to leave the state, as they have been.

Is there any reason under the sun to have sympathy for people who suffer under the rule of Democrats whom they keep electing?

@4Day_Week Why is an Englishman using Henry Ford as their example?

It’s ridiculous that we’re still working 1920s hours in a 2020s world. Ford’s assembly line is long gone. The 40-hour week should be too. It’s time for a 4-day week. ⏰

@Sassafrass_84 Everyone knows why.

A good question. It should only take one day. Election day. Period.

@JulieBorowski Actually, it requires agnosticism (at best) and a healthy helping of cognitive dissonance.

Libertarianism requires a high IQ and a high trust society.

@omgsidewalks Africa and South Asia bots are out of control spinning false narratives in the U.S.

“no one wants to work”, of course there's no reward for living in society anymore.

@FloraLuzz_ Gladly

HOW WOULD YOU REACT IF YOU SHOWED UP TO VOTE IN 2028 AND REALIZED YOU HAD TO SHOW YOUR I.D. TO AN I.C.E. AGENT FIRST?

@KhanSaba1278 Is tipping a custom in South Asia?

My husby and I went out to dinner last night, and the bill came out to $200. I left a $50 tip on the table, thinking that was pretty reasonable. But the waiter looked at it and flat-out refused to take it. He told us that if we weren’t willing to leave at least $85, we shouldn’t be eating out in the first place. I was honestly caught off guard. I felt embarrassed sitting there, like we’d done something wrong. We weren’t trying to be cheap or disrespectful — I genuinely thought $50 was a fair tip for that bill. Now I keep replaying the whole thing in my head, wondering if I misjudged it and questioning whether $50 really wasn’t enough.😱

@OrevaZSN A billionaire?! I don’t think any entity or billionaire has ever said that. And are you talking West or Central African francs? 😂

The most successful brainwashing I’ve ever witnessed is the idea that anyone can become a billionaire. Some of you genuinely believe you'll get there one day, so you defend the ultra rich and oppose taxing them.

@MmisterNobody North America just ain’t what it used to be is it?

Nobody smiles anymore. It feels like most people are running on autopilot, glued to their smartphones and disconnected from the world around them. You see it everywhere: airports, offices, restaurants, gyms. People move through the same routines, following scripts handed to them by society, rarely stopping to question anything.

@0xDavecryps I’m sure he appreciates your condolences from Africa.

A friend’s dad bought a house in 1991 for $58,000. That same house is worth about $1.35 million today. He’s the only child. For years, he quietly assumed that house would be part of his future someday. Last month, his parents sold it. The money is funding their retirement. He found out over dinner. Just sat there. Nodded. Smiled. Said, “Good for you, Dad.” Then he went home and did the math. $1,350,000. Gone before he ever saw a dollar of it. The baby boomer generation didn’t just win the housing market once. They bought homes when they were affordable. Then they sold them after decades of appreciation. They won it twice.

@chron Don’t understand why sexual preferences have anything at all to do with baseball.

⚾ The Texas Rangers celebrate everything from Whataburger to Barbie nights, but one tradition remains absent from their schedule. While every other MLB team is hosting an LGBTQ+ Pride Night in 2025, the Rangers are once again the league's lone holdout. Fans, advocates and longtime supporters say the absence continues to stand out as Pride Month begins. 🔗 Read more at bit.ly/449yXIz #TexasRangers #MLB #PrideMonth

@MikeMatthewsua @ThrillaRilla369 😂 Likewise… good bloodline.

@mitake111 @ThrillaRilla369 Nice last name too!

I'm not jealous of rich people. I don't need a gold leaf wagyu steak to feel complete. I'm angry that a handful of people hoard all the money while the middle class shrinks and poverty reaches crisis levels.

@skumWgmi They call them boomers in South Asia too?

Boomers are the first generation to enter adulthood richer than their parents and leave their children poorer than themselves. In human history that has never happened before. They didn't build the American dream. They borrowed against it. Gen Z is paying the mortgage.

@Cantrushit A lot of opinions in Nigeria.

Boomers bought houses for 3x their salary. We skip coffee and still get called entitled. The house didn’t get more expensive — the system did. Change my mind. 💸

@omgsidewalks The system in Africa?

This system doesn’t reward labor; it exploits it. The myth that poor people just need to “work harder” is nonşense. Most poor people actually work longer hours doing harder jobs for lower pay.

@middle_class_us I think the true failure is in plain site. “Go to college… get a degree… work hard” should have been, “work hard… earn a degree that pays or learn a trade… work hard… learn what makes people in your space successful… be smart… work hard”. Trust funds are few… compete.

The cruelest part of what happened to Gen Z is not the debt. It is not the job market or the rent. It's that they were handed all of it while being told the tools that built previous generations still work. Go to college. Get a degree. Work hard. Buy a house. Save for retirement. Every single piece of that advice was written for an economy that no longer exists. And the people still giving that advice built their entire lives in the economy that does not exist anymore.

@Cantrushit When comfort, convenience, and socialism are embraced, while work, sacrifice, and capitalism are rejected… you get what you get.

Did boomers really fuck us over, or was the economic situation they grew up in one-in-a-lifetime and unsustainable?
