@shavil0mi @iwelsh @stephenituruka Tens of Millions of people don't have insurance, and tens of million others have high deductibles so they still have to pay for it.

GDP doesn't mean shit.
Example: you can get an MRI scan in China for about $50, same day.
Food costs less, rent in most cities is less. A 5 star hotel in China (same chain) costs 1/10th as much as in America. You can get a good electric care for about 20K, etc, etc...
The c in causal stands for Cory@coryfromphilly
Chinese infrastructure photos are wild because they seem so advanced, except then you're reminded that China has a GDP per capita similar to Mexico. Impressive 30+ year gains, but what this tells us is that infrastructure is actually kinda easy to do!

@jasonbourne4206 @ulfgardleo @simracer2025 @BladeoftheS Okay. I've only worked in residential, not as familiar with how hail effects large commercial projects. But I'm sure they have insurance too and at the end of the day 95% of the material in the panels destroyed can be recycled.
English
@gratefulmann @ulfgardleo @simracer2025 @BladeoftheS I'm chatting about utility solar. Rooftop yeah you can't do tilt panels anyways so it's just luck.
English
Solar panels work for 40-60 years.
Wind Turbines work for 25 years, at which point they only need their blades replacing, 5% of the cost, the actual turbine will last for centuries by which point it will be completely outdated.
Fossil fuel defenders only have lies.
Stokdog@stokdog
Renewable is a lie. Wind & solar hardware is non-renewable garbage. Build once for trillions. Works ~20 years if you're lucky. Then dead. That's your "green" future. ONE BIG SCAM. Hit โฅ๏ธ if you agree

@wallstreetluigi @shavil0mi @iwelsh @stephenituruka I've done it. I used to live in San Diego and I went to Tijuana for dental work. It was literally 1/10 of the cost.
English
@gratefulmann @shavil0mi @iwelsh @stephenituruka this is why americans are now going to mexico, colombia, turkey for health services. 1/10th of the cost
English
@jasonbourne4206 @ulfgardleo @simracer2025 @BladeoftheS I live in Colorado and used to be in the solar industry, if hail destroys the panels it is going to destroy your roof anyway and your property insurance will cover both.
English
@gratefulmann @ulfgardleo @simracer2025 @BladeoftheS Depends where you are, in Texas hail can reach 3 inches across pretty frequently. Panels that can tilt are pretty much standard for utility installation there. They get the worst hail storms in USA. Most places don't worry about baseball sized hail.

@JasonHeppl21333 @LeratoPhoko1 @777Bfantastic @esjesjesj No a waitress is not a servant, try to disrespect your waitress and you will get kicked out of the restaurant and banned for life.
English
@LeratoPhoko1 @777Bfantastic @esjesjesj But he called them slaves... Servants are not slaves... the waitress who served you last at the restaurant was a servant... Stop trying so hard to be a victim or is that the only tactic you have... Tsek!

He literally grew up with black slaves serving him

BREAKING: ๐บ๐ธ๐ฟ๐ฆ Elon Musk says South Africa has "extremely racist laws."
English
@ulfgardleo @jasonbourne4206 @simracer2025 @BladeoftheS That is not true. The vast majority solar panels built now a days are more durable then the average roof. This the reason your property taxes don't increase when you get solar because the insurance companies consider the panels protecting the roof.
English
@jasonbourne4206 @simracer2025 @BladeoftheS The reported average lifespan is pretty much dominated by the risk of hail or other extreme weather in that region anyways.

@ggreenwald @NYCMayor A โcareer leftistโ? Heโs way more than just a leftie. Heโs antiAmerican, anti Christian, and would LOVE to have a Muslim majority NYC and USA. And Islamists hate LGBTQ+.
English
Depicting Hasan Piker as some sort of radical jihadist Islamist who wants to kill all gay men is genuinely one of the most hilarious things I've ever heard.
Same reaction to when they tried to depict Zohran "the NYPD is anti-queer" Mandami as determined to impose sharia law.
John Podhoretz@jpodhoretz
Hasan Piker would likely support Tim Millerโs murder on the grounds that he is gay man with children. And then support the murder of his children, as he supports the murder of mine for being Jews. Nice going, Tim. Youโve sold your soul. Enjoy the cash.
English
@abandontheearth @shavil0mi @iwelsh @stephenituruka Depending where you live. In NYC an MRI is like $10,000 while in rural areas it's like $2,000. Our healthcare system makes no sense.
English
English
@shavil0mi @iwelsh @stephenituruka So after 3 days you can purchase an MRI. That's not bad. In the USA it's like an entire month salary to purchase an MRI for most people.
English
@iwelsh @stephenituruka And you get paid like $17/day in the factory

@joni_askola This might be the dumbest comparison I've ever seen. Read a book sometime.

A clear example of the horseshoe theory in action:
These two people hold very similar views on foreign policy.
Both support Russia, China, Iran, and their proxies.
One is a far-left streamer, and the other is Trumpโs Director of National Intelligence
English
@8bkq7nk76h @TBLV23 @OnlyinFlorida2 @EdKrassen They will just export the oil if someone will pay more then Americans. Almost like corporations only care about profit and don't care at all about helping the USA.
English
@TBLV23 @OnlyinFlorida2 @EdKrassen because of global markets. if it's more expensive to buy foreign oil, people will switch to domestic which increases demand, making domestic oil more expensive but still cheaper than importing
English
BREAKING: The U.S. government will now insure losses up to $40 billion for oil tankers transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
But they canโt insure you if you get cancer or have a heart attack.
Big oil is more important than your life in Trumpโs America. Did you vote for that?
English
@jeaki @ggreenwald Are you going to sign up to go fight? Na bet you're too much of a pussy

Letโs face it GreenGlen. We are in our villain era. The Iranian government has been a menace for 40 years. Many world leaders, including our own presidents have allowed them to grow into the cancer that they are. I, for one, am here for it. I say we
1. Bomb them into the stone ages
2. Take all the yellow cake in that shit hole
3. Take all the oil we can carry
4. Dare anyone to stop us
5. Watch twats like you wring your hands about it.

Notice how quickly all that bullshit about liberating Iranians disappeared, and now it's all about bombing them back to the Stone Age, destroying their bridges and universities, poisoning their air and water, and stealing their oil.

@Cyberdragunz @Tmac89132 @ThatEricAlper Stop crying and find another job. If your current job isn't paying market rate then you should quit. Plenty of people switch jobs every 2-3 years for higher wages.
English
@gratefulmann @Tmac89132 @ThatEricAlper Doesn't always work that way. Minimum wage in my province has been climbing far faster than my pay rate has, to the point where in another couple years if the pace stays the same, I'll actually be below minimum wage as a healthcare worker
English
@Mike831210 @ThatEricAlper True but their burgers are cheaper then most companies so just shows what can be done when a company cares about their employees.
English
@gratefulmann @ThatEricAlper 160-180 but I stand corrected. They are also way higher than the industry standard though
English
@Mike831210 @ThatEricAlper No it's a manager of a single location, you do not need any degree, you can be promoted from a burger flipper to assistant manager and then manager.
English
@gratefulmann @ThatEricAlper I donโt care if you believe me. Iโm telling you what I make. Yes a regional manager of a franchise will do well. A burger flipper is not the same. A manager needs a business degree and experience.
English
@Mike831210 @ThatEricAlper I don't believe you, it says online the average pay for lineworker is $80k but you can make close to $200k as a manager at an in n out.
English
@gratefulmann @ThatEricAlper Falseโฆ. I make comfortably more than that w overtime. Top pay takes about 10 years to get to

An American citizenโs baby canโt become a Chinese citizen by being born on the soil of China. Can anyone explain why a Chinese citizenโs baby should be able to become an American citizen by being born on the soil here? Itโs absolute insanity.

@d33r3driv3r @joni_askola It wouldn't change anything in that regard, the bottom 50% only hold 2% of the wealth in this country. Trying to tax poor people is like squeezing water from a stone.
English
@gratefulmann @joni_askola As long as we go back to the same tax laws we had then with the same write offs and deductions that resulted in basically the same effective tax rates we have today. And then ensure that the bottom 50% are paying more than 3% of the taxes

Trickle-down economics was a 40-year scam.
It delivered no additional growth and left workersโ wages stagnant.
Instead, it produced massive inequality and flooded politics with billionaires, directly fueling todayโs populist anger.
A total failure
