@UziCryptoo Welcome to Employee Pillar Prison. Getting more grim every day.

In my area, In-N-Out and Chipotle are hiring around $20/hour for new workers.
Let’s say you even land full-time at 40 hours/week: $20/hour = $800/week
That’s $3,467/month before taxes.
After just 12% in federal taxes, you’re left with about $3,051/month take-home.
Now here’s the reality: Average one-bedroom apartment is around $2,000/month.
So even working full-time in fast food, 65% of your income disappears to rent alone.
That leaves you with about $1,050/month for:
• food
• transportation
• insurance
• phone
• savings
• emergencies
This isn’t a “budgeting problem.”
This is a cost of living crisis.
Working full time should never mean barely surviving.

@Houseofyogi One of the few airlines normal people could afford to fly on.
English

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren
She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.
Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.
JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.
The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.
For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.
Warren said no.
She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.
Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.
Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.
510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.
14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.
And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.
Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.
40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.
And the math ain’t mathing.
Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.
That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”
So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?
Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.
Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.
Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”
A win.
14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.
And she’s taking credit.
This is socialism in 2026.
A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.
She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.
She cost you ten times that in real life.
She didn’t protect consumers from anything.
14,000+ will go from working to welfare.
She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.
Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.
She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

🚨HEARTBREAKING: A former teacher in Gaza, now 54, has lost everything in the ongoing israeli genocide, his home, his dignity, and two of his sons. Today, he spends his days carrying water just to survive.
In Al-Zaytoun, Gaza City, and across the strip, clean water is scarce. All 2 million people are facing a man-made, systematic water crisis, where access to a basic human right is being weaponized.

@hakanboyv I wish someone with power could make it stop. All these innocent lives. Children being kidnapped, crushed, gunned down. It is horrible. These children are aware, they can’t even comprehend what is happening.
English

@hippyygoat My heart hurts for those kids. Oh sweetheart you do not deserve it. Your the innocent of enraged men with a power complex. Years and years of humans abusing the principles of religion to plunder land, enslave people, and practice genocide. The reasoning for Noahs story.
English

I am so heartbroken.
Israel has just shot my 30-year-old aunt in the chest while she was sitting with her three young children in a school shelter in Jabalia Camp. She is in critical condition; the bullet pierced her chest and exited through her back, devastating her lungs and spleen.
At the moment she was hit, she was holding her one-year-old son. He fell from her lap as she collapsed and was found bleeding from one of his ears.
I just spoke with my uncle, who told me that Israel has been using subsonic bullets lately. He said his sister is the second mother in the camp to be shot in the chest today.
Please pray for her and our family. Her husband was abducted by Israel in November 2024, and we still have no word on his condition.

@TolentinoTeach Old school teachers are good teachers, unfortunately most schools don’t allow old school teaching. Too many other requirements like paperwork, behavior reporting, video approval, etc.
English

During my first year of teaching, there was a veteran teacher near my classroom with nearly thirty years of experience. She was methodical, well prepared, deeply professional, and ran a calm, well-managed classroom.
One day, I watched our assistant principal—someone who hadn’t taught in a classroom for over a decade—reprimand her for the way she managed her students.
I was stunned.
Sadly, this wasn’t an isolated moment. It reflects a pattern that shows up far too often in education: veteran teachers being treated like children by people who haven’t run a classroom in years.

@valuetainment By when? Seems like he would need multiple shuttles or a lot of pregnant woman.

@PaulRudnickNY This is so much deeper. Philanthropy is broken. Money donated for a cause is used for other things. Donate $10k after admin costs and unnecessary capital assets the intended recipient receives maybe $1k of it. Medicine is the same way. Cut the middle man and let it flow.
English

@creation247 I strongly agree with this. Kids need diversity and female teacher cliques formed in the schools become way too overwhelming.
English

Public schools need more male teachers
Only 20% of teachers are male
This is a national epidemic
Principal Jon@Principal_Jon
What is the #1 thing you would change in public schools?

@Ahmed_Nashwan_ Absolutely horrible. Brothers and sisters trapped in a box unable to flee from any borders. When is enough enough?

Elon Musk just read the scoreboard on American education.
The numbers are not disappointing.
They are damning.
Musk: “Our educational results have gone downhill ever since it was created.”
The Department of Education was established in 1979.
Before it existed, America was landing human beings on the moon.
After it was created, literacy cratered, math scores collapsed, and the country dropped on every international ranking that matters.
Half a century of decline under a single institution’s watch.
Musk: “If you create a department and the result of creating that department is a massive decline in educational results, you’re better off not having it.”
This is not a policy disagreement.
This is a fifty-year performance review with one outcome.
Termination.
The institution designed to educate your children spent that entire stretch making them measurably worse at everything.
The system was never built to produce genius.
It was built to produce compliance.
Standardized tests. Standardized curricula. Standardized humans.
A factory that punishes the child who questions the answer and rewards the one who memorizes it.
They convinced an entire country that without a federal committee, children would fall behind.
The committee is the reason they did.
Now something is arriving that makes the entire debate obsolete.
Artificial intelligence is not a tool for the classroom.
It is the classroom.
An infinite tutor that adapts to a child’s exact speed, exact curiosity, exact potential.
It does not burn out by third period.
It does not teach to a test written by a bureaucrat who hasn’t touched a classroom in twenty years.
The establishment will tell you AI in education is dangerous.
That it needs oversight. Regulation. A committee.
They are not protecting your children.
They are protecting their authority over what your children are allowed to learn.
AI does not make the Department of Education more efficient.
It makes the Department of Education extinct.
The curriculum is leaving the hands of the state and landing directly in the hands of the individual.
Every child on earth is about to carry a teacher with infinite patience and zero agenda in their pocket.
Available to anyone with a signal.
The era of the standardized human is ending.
We are about to find out what a mind becomes when nothing stands between it and everything it was meant to know.

@MAGAMAHACindy Property taxes aren’t even really about the value. They fund roads, schools, hospitals, etc. Your paying more money for all that stuff because of rising prices. Costs are rising so house values have to rise so taxes still cover the cost. 🤯
English

Hypothetically…….. We are being taxed on money we never made.
Let that sink in.
If I bought my property outright for $160,000 in 2009
Now the county says it’s worth $446,000.
Did I sell it? No.
Did I make a profit? No.
Did I get a check for $446,000? No.
But my taxes jumped like I did.
That’s the problem.
This isn’t income.
This isn’t cash.
This is a number someone decided on paper and now I’m being billed for it.
If my stock portfolio doubles, I don’t pay taxes until I sell.
If my income doesn’t increase, I don’t magically owe more income tax.
So why does owning a home work differently?
Why am I being taxed on unrealized gains?
A house isn’t just an investment, it’s where people live. And this system means you can do everything right, pay off your home, and still get squeezed harder every year because of a number you never turned into money.
You don’t truly own something if you can be taxed out of it.
This isn’t about “services” or “inflation.” It’s about being charged for value you never received.
It’s time people start to notice.

@JDU_News Yet men are upset that women aren’t like in the bible. The woman have to provide, protect, raise and finance. Then they expect commitment, loyalty, respect, and gratitude.
English

@AlmasriHaifa Congrats…that is impressive. I’d love to go to med school. I just can’t see having to redo a bachelors to improve my gpa then having to do 8 years after that when I am already getting old. Over 50 trying to keep up with 20 year olds.
English

@pubity The problem is they think drilling a width of curriculum will better prepare the kids. They teach a bunch of stuff but don’t teach how to research or think. The internet is too unsafe to allow for kids to research indepently so they simply don’t teach them to use it correctly.
English

@StuartBlitz Wouldn’t insurance be a huge issue with this?
