@bull_japanese @tanpukunokami A taxi in the United States would likely cost the same as a Japan one, but ride shares an option here while it isn't in Japan. I took a taxi one night that cost me $28 for a ride that would have cost me 16 in the United States

@Husky2139 @tanpukunokami Google AI says London and Tokyo taxis are roughly the same cost. Compared to NYC, Tokyo taxis are more expensive for short distances, less expensive for longer distances. I rarely use taxis in Tokyo unless someone else is paying.

In Japan, 2 a.m. Someone misses the last train and steps into a taxi. “Where to?” In Japan, that’s the whole conversation. No small talk. No questions. But when the passenger is crying, the driver hands them a tissue and asks softly, “Are you okay?” When a drunk passenger shouts at him, he bows his head and says, “Please, get home safe.” The average taxi driver in Japan is over 60. Nearly one in ten is past 75. Long after the city sleeps, they are still driving — quiet men, on the other side of the meter, carrying this country home. Nobody will ever know their names.

@financedystop How about don't buy a home in a place you can't do what you want lol

People are ending up in pre-foreclosure because they fell behind on HOA payments. This realtor says she’s heard multiple stories of people racking up $20,000+ in HOA fees and now they could actually lose their homes.

@flyrogo @kpottermn And they did virtually nothing, dropping almost all ppp requirements for forgiveness

@kpottermn That money was used to cover front line employee payrolls and avoid furloughs and layoffs.

Your occasional reminder that U.S. airlines got $54 billion (yes, with a B) in federal bailouts to stay afloat during the pandemic - the vast majority of which didn’t need to be repaid.

@BeamRiverTown @TheLaurenChen We should resolve problems without creating new ones. They should get vouchers like WIC, no buying ribeyes on food stamps

@Husky2139 @TheLaurenChen "We should feed poor people soda and candy so my steak is less expensive" is one of the most idiotic statement on X today. Bravo.

SNAP recipients can still buy soda or candy They just have to pay for it themselves, like everyone else does

@hmn_alchemy @NJTRANSIT The people complaining aren't even going to the game. Everyone who is going to this game thinks $150 is nothing.

@Husky2139 @NJTRANSIT You’re entirely correct. Most humans will not be going. Out of the billions, less than 100,000 will attend each game. Some will be families.

Due to a disabled train near Secaucus, NJ TRANSIT rail service is subject to up to 30-minute delays into and out of Penn Station New York.

@WilsonPlaneSale @Elixxxirrr @DemzDeliver A college degree right now is borderline what a high school diploma was 25 years ago in white-collar work, since everyone is being pushed to have one to even qualify for many of these limited jobs. If an internship is guaranteed for everyone, that means it becomes a checkbox

@Husky2139 @Elixxxirrr @DemzDeliver "Work experience doesn't make you a better candidate" jfc

🚨 All high schoolers in Boston are now guaranteed a summer internship if they want one.

@hmn_alchemy @NJTRANSIT Most families won't be going to the world cup

@NJTRANSIT “That’ll be $900 for you and your family, welcome to New Jersey, come again”

@BuffaloCompact @TheLaurenChen I'm not going to dig through the numerous posts I've seen of it, but here is 1 to satisfy it.

@Husky2139 @TheLaurenChen So the answer was no one? You made up the people supposedly talking about this?

@shipwreckedcrew The US imports a crapton of beef. He raised the prices with his tariffs alone.

Trump can't make cattle appear that weren't bred three years ago because of Biden Admin policies. It takes 3 years from the date of breeding until that beef lands in a market. We are seeing today the result of a decline in breeding in 2023.

@BuffaloCompact @TheLaurenChen Soda spending is estimated at over $10 billion a year, and if they lose, they will lose. They will be forced to lower prices, as there is no longer a government subsidy to support the hiked prices.

@Husky2139 @TheLaurenChen Who said the price of coke is down? You sure you’re not confusing when people were talking about pepsicos stock slide the other day?

@MethIsHellaDope @whackader @TheLaurenChen Snap families have also been keeping junk food prices artificially high. Coke is losing a shitton of money from these new regulations. The problem is that money is not being saved by the government; they will just fill their cart with actual food they don't need.

@whackader @Husky2139 @TheLaurenChen So wait, SNAP recipients are only buying junk food which is why they're so fat and unhealthy and why we need to ban that, but also they're only buying healthy essentials thereby driving the price up?

@BuffaloCompact @TheLaurenChen GOP Logic: HAHAHAHAH Coke is down at the store since they can't buy it with food stamps Also, GOP: Increased spending on meat will not cause any price increase.

@Husky2139 @TheLaurenChen Imagine not understanding economies of scale.

@whackader @TheLaurenChen And now it will get worse. All those sugar-buying snap families you saw? Change that all to the meats we buy every day. Those buggy full of snack cakes and sprites suddenly just became ground beef, chicken, and steak.

@Husky2139 @TheLaurenChen They've been doing that

@Petaybee1 @TheLaurenChen It will also lead to waste of food since Snap recipients will zero out the card, buying good food they don't need, and throw it out when it goes bad.

@Petaybee1 @TheLaurenChen Ok, let's teach basic economics. Let's say $10 billion was spent on Soda. Suddenly, Snap recipients are forced to spend that money on healthy, filling foods. They take that money and spend it on meat. Demand for meat is up; prices go up with it. Soda will go down as well

@realdanihgh @IHateItMost @RepMarkPocan The democrats controlling the House and Senate also make it 10x easier to dispute his lawless EOs in the courts since they automatically have standing to contest executive overreach

@realdanihgh @IHateItMost @RepMarkPocan Did you ignore where the GOP tried to primary him in 2024, but were forced to roll with him when voters overwhelmingly supported him? They tried to wipe their hands of him in 2021 after J6, but he came back. In 2027, he will be a lame-duck president ineligible to be reelected.

FACT: The average family is paying more than $2,500 extra this year because of the Trump Tariffs. FACT: The average household is expected to spend $740 extra on gas this year because of Trump’s war of choice against Iran. FACT: The average family paid over $300 more for groceries in 2025 than 2024. Trump and Republicans in Congress promised to make America more affordable. They failed. Time for change.

@FmrRepMTG Que the "better than Kamala," GOP comments

The U.S. government has to refund $166 billion in tariffs, PLUS interests. Trump said he would be paying Americans checks from tariffs and eventually even replace the income tax. So now not only are you not getting DOGE checks after he cancelled DOGE, you’re not getting tariff checks and paying the interests back on tariffs collected. And you are also paying $2 billion a day for Trump and Netanyahu’s war in Iran. And you are paying on avg $4 per gallon gas and inflation is rising again. The lack of humility and understanding the struggle of regular Americans is astounding to me. Trump and his lackeys demand loyalty and name call and bully yet Americans struggle more and more.

@Aaron0309549493 @ZacksJerryRig @elonmusk They reinvest every dollar into the company, so they never show income.

@ZacksJerryRig @elonmusk How can this company supposedly be worth over $1 trillion and pay no fucking taxes? That CEO needs to be in jail.

Just pay your taxes dude wtf @elonmusk

@maggiemoda Some companies ate it in their profit margins. It would be nearly impossible to figure out who passed it on and who didn't

Sweet, but what about the rest of us who paid for these tariffs in the form of higher prices?
