“He gets up at his press conferences and talks about how great it is that we’re just slaughtering these Iranians,” says Mike Nelson, a retired Army Special Forces officer. “It’s a weird obsession with death for the sake of it.” Read more: rollingstone.com/politics/polit…

Not at all strange that the World Liberty Financial website no longer has any team members listed. This is what the site used to look like.

$NVDA - HUANG: “MOVE TO CALIFORNIA” DESPITE HIGH TAXES Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang urged people to stay in or move to California despite its high tax burden, saying: “Move to California. Don’t leave. It’s the highest taxes in the world, but it’s OK—the weather is great.” Speaking at Stanford alongside U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna and former national security adviser H.R. McMaster, Huang defended living in Silicon Valley and said he is “perfectly fine” with higher taxes. His comments come as several high-profile billionaires and tech figures have recently left California amid debate over a proposed wealth tax, including Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page, investor Peter Thiel, and venture capitalist David Sacks.

ICE moved detainees out of a Mesa facility ahead of a lawmaker visit, then it returned to being over capacity afterward. Designed for 157 people, it has reached up to 800 between inspections, with detainees packed side by side or even on top of each other “like sardines.”

I think the most reasonable way to balance aesthetic standards and certainty for development is with materials requirements and/or "books" of pre-approved designs In areas with sufficiently high land values you can require masonry, stone, metal etc.

100% agreed Aesthetics absolutely matter. And it’s not unreasonable for people to *want* to only add density to their neighborhoods if it looks “nice”

@CGasparino @PeteButtigieg Again… just admit trump and the fed set it up, the global shock affected everyone, and Biden didn’t help with his rescue plan. That’s what happened.

Wait so Biden didnt spend $9 trillion on fiscal stimulus while the Fed was pumping massive liquidity into the system and @PeteButtigieg didnt go on paternity leave while the resulting inflation caused the supply chain crisis? sad ha!
Grant Roosevelt@GrantTRoosevelt

@CGasparino Wait, so Biden + @PeteButtigieg created an international supply chain crisis? How'd they do that exactly? How'd they cause exogenous inflation? @JoeSquawk is also trying to push this too. Example: we don't punish California for air pollution created by China brought by wind.

The University of Michigan has been measuring consumer sentiment since 1952. We just got the first Iran-afflicted measure for April, and it's at the lowest level ever recorded.

GDP per capita 🤦‍♀️ The most worthless metric of them all. I am not even mad, this is actually genuinely sad. Yes, your billionaires are richer than our billionaires. Congratulations, I guess? lol. Imagine being so brainwashed to believe that just because your billionaires are the wealthiest billionaires in the world, you are somehow part of that exclusive club. And what is more - to truly believe that people in West Virginia are wealthier and have better life than people in Italy or France. Especially nowadays, when half of the population lives paycheck to paycheck, their bills are constantly rising, TWO full-time working parents are struggling with their expenses, and it's only going to get worse. Even a large % of the middle class is one health emergency or layoff away from bankruptcy. This is just not the flex you think it is, and it is genuinely distressful to do this to your fellow citizens, given the struggle so many of them are currently facing.

Europoor is an entirely accurate phrase. America is simply in a different league.
