@greendragonhq Amazing how much those "Free" things cost, isn't it?

MAGA is fuming after Zohran Mamdani continues to deliver on campaign promises. Despite Republicans saying it could not be done, daycare for children in New York City is now free saving families $20,000 per child per year. Turns out you can accomplish amazing things when you stop giving tax cuts to billionaires and funding endless Middle Eastern wars.

@Isolveissues @PTBwrites @BFHAHN Government didn't invest it. It spent it. Then left IOU's at the treasury (the famed "lock box") which SS is now cashing in. Does the Treasury have the money to pay SS back? Of course not, it prints more to pay it back.

@PTBwrites @BFHAHN Because the gov’t didn’t invest well and poorly controls its spending.

I *wish* this were an April Fool's joke

@BFHAHN @PTBwrites Legally speaking, they are not entitled to SS or Medicare.

@PTBwrites Misleading headline. Retirees paid into social security and Medicare for their entire working life. They’re simply receiving a portion of that back until they die.

@BillsR_Electric @UziCryptoo The wealth the government steals from you is something you can't invest which in the end makes you more dependent on government along with the loss of your wealth. SS is never explained that way, is it?

@BillsR_Electric @UziCryptoo True we have no choice. But again SS is sold as a particular service the government provides if you make it to a said age. It is designed to "help" you and make you safe. In reality, we pay taxes to fund past payers, now retirees. It is a Ponzi Scheme.

By the time I am 65, over $600,000 will be paid into Social Security on my behalf. That money would have been worth $1.9 million if I had gotten a 5% return. My annual interest would be $95k. The government promises me $3,075/month at age 67, which is $37k/year. HOW IS THIS NOT THEFT??

@KOhonestly @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow How would that start WW3? Are you kidding? Yes we would protect it. We want the oil. And nothing like having a reliable source of it. Canada certainly isn't a reliable partner. Alberta certainly would be.

@SimpletonWill @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow No the US will not protect Alberta you absolute fool!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣that would really start ww3. You freaks are dumber than a bag of hockey pucks. Honestly, your arrogance will be your demise you poor dolt!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣

Canada needs to nationalize Alberta’s oil, problem solved.

@KOhonestly @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow Nor it is it Quebec's or Labrador's either. They can leave. Going to take it from them if they decide to?

@SimpletonWill @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow They actually wont leave because none of the land is Alberta’s dumb dumb

@KOhonestly @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow No you don't get to decide. Alberta wants to decide for itself. It has every democratic right to do so. That is the point of democracy. Simply belonging to a collective of other provinces doesn't mean those provinces can stop their desire to leave. It isn't a suicide pact

@SimpletonWill @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow Sweetheart, they need to get a CLEAR majority, which is NOT 50+1 % . In answer to your question. Alberta is part of Canada. Yes we will stop it if there is no Canada wide referendum. Its part of Canada, we all get to decide, not a portion of a province. Thats not authoritarian.

@PTBwrites @BFHAHN Because it is a Ponzi Scheme. And they always end.

@BFHAHN If they fully paid into it, why is the trust fund reaching insolvency in 2032

@BillsR_Electric @UziCryptoo Would you rather put that $184k into a simple investment acct or into the hands of government? You would have vastly more than $184k if you took the former and you can give that to your family on your death. Or do you get it to government, watch them screw it up and politics?

@BillsR_Electric @UziCryptoo That isn't how SS is sold. But you prove a point. You are correct it is a tax but since it is a tax is it in fact a Ponzi Scheme you are forced to pay into. SS also destroys wealth. It destroys generational wealth for middle class and poor individuals.

@KnightHamilton7 @liz_churchill10 Starmer is the same man who wants to put you in prison for expressing a viewpoint on particular subjects. And you speak of civic safety?

@liz_churchill10 Deep anger toward leaders is one thing, but screaming at public officials in the street creates a volatile environment that threatens civic safety. If this chaos became the new normal, would people want their kids to think this is how we settle disagreements in a democracy.

Britains swarm Keir Starmer screaming “PEDO PROTECTOR” and “TRAITOR” right in his terrified face. This grooming-gang-enabling Asshole sold out British children and flooded Britain with rapists…now the people fucking hate him. Starmer’s finished.

@KOhonestly @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow 2. See 1. 3. No. The US will protect Alberta. And then will extend a hand to any other provinces that want independence as well. Including Quebec, but we don't want them either. 4. Who is going to school them? You? The tyrants trying to overturn the will of their vote?

@KOhonestly @YourAnonCentral @AdamByblow 1. No. But lets for the sake of theory say you are right. If Alberta votes to leave, democratically votes to leave, are you saying you are going to ignore the vote and punish them? Sounds rather authoritarian and tyrannical. So much for Democracy right? Haha.

@ReemAmirIbrahim They paid into it. They have every right to claim it.

The state pension costs working-age Brits over £150 billion a year. Is it fair for young people to pay the highest tax burden in British history to fund every single pensioner? Especially when 25% are millionaires?

@karlmac1 @ReemAmirIbrahim Yes.

@ReemAmirIbrahim Scrap the state & public sector pensions, everyone has to make their own provision. There that was easy.

@rebelxan @krassenstein That is where we are. And you are right. It complicates a rather straight forward issue for no logical reason. The Mongols had a solution to this.

@SimpletonWill @krassenstein People painting literal terrorists these days as rational, and strong leaders as unstable... Ahit like this causes world wars.

BREAKING: Stocks are up and oil down because Iranian President Pezeshkian says: "We have the will to end the war if the necessary guarantees are provided to ensure that the attacks will not be repeated." The problem? That is no way Israel or Trump will ever give those guarantees. Once again the markets are in an alternate reality.

@Ozzyman314 @Acyn Should I point out all criminals the left protects in sanctuary cities? The rapists, murders, thieves, and sexual predators? Not sure why you do that. But you do.

@SimpletonWill @Acyn Only mentally ill maga would cry about crime and then elect a convicted criminal 😂🤣😂 And I’m talking about the violent criminals Dementia Donald Flooded America with with his Autopen Why doe republicans do more to protect criminals than Americans?

Phang: This is so typical of what has happened in this administration. Michael Flynn sued and is now going to be given $1.5 million in a settlement. Ashli Babbitt’s family is receiving $5 million. The Trumps are suing for $10 billion. Five members of the Proud Boys are suing for unspecified compensatory damages, plus $100 million in punitive damages. I mean, that is just a snapshot of the type of bullshit litigation that is happening right now.

@jonathanfg97120 @Acyn If you wanted to help Americans you would shrink government. You would repeal the ACA as that is what is driving up costs. Subsidies disguise the real cost. Subsidizing it just hides the failure it is. Helping people through inflation, isn't helping them.

@Acyn She nails it. Once again the Democrats prove that they are the only party that actually tries to help the American people. And what do the Republicans says about helping the American people like this? "Oh! It's communism! It's socialism," or some f**ked up bullsh!t like that.

Meiselas: How would you vote on a $200 billion supplemental for this war in Iran? Cortez Masto: I would vote against it. That $200 billion in taxpayer money could go toward helping taxpayers. With that money, we could fund ACA tax credits for another seven years. We could fund free school lunches for our children for another seven years. When it comes to another $200 billion for this unauthorized war, I can’t support it.
