@RBReich 30 billion dollars is a lot of money for 1 year. How many people would this benefit, the entire population of the US? I’ll wait for an answer…

Without ACA subsidies that Trump and Republicans let expire, 1 in 5 ACA enrollees have been dropped from coverage after failing to pay premiums. It would cost about $30 billion to extend the subsidies for a year. Meanwhile, Trump’s war on Iran has already cost at least $29 billion. Priorities.

@allenanalysis Donald Trump earned a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the University of Pennsylvania no Cracker Jack ring as far as I know.

🇺🇸 🔥BREAKING: Trump and Xi Jinping are reportedly considering a deal to allow China to invest $1 trillion in the US. To build factories on American soil. Against the advice of his own aides.

@FreedomHasWon Right, unless they are going to pay you advertising fees every month have them remove that crap.

I did this the moment I got my new Toyota home. Stripped it of every dealer badge. At least no badge inside the gas door. My older Camry had one there. Unbelievable. If you are a dealer just stop or pay me $1,000 a month in advertising.

@GovKathyHochul @NYCMayor Did the rest of New York State agree to you bailing out NYC and giving them free daycare?? I’ll wait for an answer @GovKathyHochul

From day one, I’ve said that when New York City succeeds, New York State succeeds. Today, we’re announcing new state aid to stabilize New York City’s finances and close their budget gap. Together with @NYCMayor, we’re making free universal child care a reality, investing in public safety, education, and infrastructure, and protecting the services New Yorkers rely on every day.

@grok @HateTheState76 @YourAnonNews And how have you come up with this 12 billion dollars to fix this shortfall? Inquiring minds would like to know, I’ll wait. Or are you robbing Peter to pay Paul and waiting on handouts from Albany and you’re going to be worse off next year. Time will tell.

No, not in a sustainable way. Mayor Mamdani's office claims a balanced FY2027 budget addressing inherited multi-billion-dollar gaps (around $5-12B cumulative projections) via agency cuts, unallocated "savings," reserve draws, and hoped-for state aid/revenue tweaks. But today's release includes placeholders, and the comptroller has flagged reliance on one-time fixes that don't fix structural overspending. Official details are at nyc.gov.

NYC Mayor Mamdani announces that they have fully balanced NYC's budget, reducing a $12 billion budget deficit to 0. While funding parks, libraries, safer streets and making historic investments in public housing. But... communism...

@CARN0N Right and if you think it comes to America they are only going to charge 46k. If you do I have a bridge to sell you.

No wonder America bans Chinese vehicles. This SUV at its top spec costs only $46,000USD in China. - Industry-first floor heating system - 4D mechanical massage seats - 6 seats, 1,605km of range, can fit up to 40 suitcases...

@middle_class_us Do what everyone else did or is doing that wants to get ahead. Get a second jobs work side gigs downsize, no one needs a 58k car get a used one for 8k, get roommates etc. I can go on and on but you get the idea. Save money advance in life.

Stop telling young people to “build wealth in their twenties” when they can barely build a sandwich. Cars cost fifty thousand. Degrees cost fifty eight thousand. Rent eats eighty percent of their check. What exactly are they supposed to invest after buying gas, food and a broom closet?

@BarackObama @MichelleObama @ObamaFoundation I will not be paying to go to a library, good luck with that.

Michelle and I can’t wait for you to visit the Obama Presidential Center! Starting on June 19, the Center will be open to the public, and you’ll be able to check out the Museum along with public spaces like a new branch of the Chicago Public Library with a reading room, a two-acre playground, a fruit and vegetable garden, and more. Tickets available at tickets.obama.org.

@SenSanders @SenSanders how long have you been in congress and what if anything have you done to fix this. All I hear from people like you are tax the billionaires one time then it will be a tax every year then it will be tax the millionaires but you do nothing to fix the issues.

We have more income and wealth inequality in America than ever before. Meanwhile, we rank 34th in the world in childhood poverty, 20% of our seniors live on $15,000 a year or less and 800,000 Americans are homeless. We need a fundamental change in our national priorities NOW.

@TrpstrLeonOG They don’t if they have a real job working at Starbucks or McDonalds if for after school or extra money for retirees not to support a lifestyle

There is no reason a full-time worker should need: a roommate parental help side hustles a cosigner just to afford a basic one-bedroom in the city they work in. At that point the economy is not “challenging.” It’s broken.

@ProudSocialist If it ever happened it would be in stocks and options not cash. 10 Trillion seems excessive and I doubt would pass any shareholder or board vote.

$839 billion is not enough for Elon Musk. He wants $10 trillion. 1 person hoarding TRILLIONS is just bad economics. That money belongs to workers who can then go out & stimulate the economy. Trapping wealth at the top creates historic poverty & wealth inequality at the bottom.

@ShangguanJiewen And this is fake, disappearing cars, I guess that’s how they do it in China.

Even on the craziest mountainsides, Chinese infrastructure is stellar. This is socialism. This is China.

@BitcoinSapiens No it’s not. These are entry level jobs never meant to support a lifestyle. It’s basically fun money when you’re a teenager or retiree. You’re supposed to move up the food chain and make more money. If you think otherwise you are part of the problem.

Yes, a cashier at Starbucks SHOULD be able to afford rent, groceries, & bills on just that 1 paycheque alone. THAT'S WHAT JOBS ARE FOR.

@SenSanders How much do you pay in taxes @SenSanders The problem is you will waste the money you get from a one time tax and then say you need to make it permanent. All while you line your own pockets.

While the billionaires get much richer, 60% of working class Americans struggle to afford food or housing. Millions are losing healthcare. Yes. The very rich should start paying their fair share of taxes. That’s why I support the California Wealth Tax on billionaires.

@UziCryptoo Chipotle and In-N-Out are not meant to be a full time living it’s for high schoolers or retirees wanting some extra income. It’s a starter job you’re supposed to move up in salary as you get older more experienced, higher education etc.

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.

@RBReich It’s pretty ridiculous to be paying 70% in taxes @RBReich How much would you be paying? I’ll wait for an answer.

A history of the top marginal tax rates on the wealthiest Americans: 1940: 81% 1950: 84% 1960: 91% 1970: 72% 1980: 70% 1990: 28% 2000: 40% 2010: 35% For 50 years, corporate backed politicians in Congress have slashed taxes to line the pockets of their wealthy donors.

@ZacksJerryRig @Tesla @ZacksJerryRig do you even own a Tesla anymore? With all your hate I’m going to say no but I’ll wait for an answer.

This baloney is so annoying. I didn't pay for 'lite' I paid for FULL SELF DRIVING. @Tesla is kicking the can down the road long enough for the cars to be obsolete, wrecked or out of warranty. Such a giant middle finger to us early adopters. You HW4 people are next btw. Watch how they treat HW3. @elonmusk is a fraud.

@C_S_Skeptic I don’t think it happens in the near future anyone traveling to mars and staying there would have a hard time returning to earth with current technology.

Musk is the greediest asshole on the planet. Full stop.

@jacksonhinkle You should move over there then. Let us know when it happens.

🇨🇳 Communism is more superior than capitalism. China is PROOF!

@aakashgupta That’s nice wait another 12 months and the crown will go to someone else. If you have enough money pretty much anything is possible.

Bugatti just lost its all-time speed record. To the Chinese EV in this video. 308 mph at Papenburg, on a battery. The Chiron Super Sport had held the record for six years. 1,600 hp, 8.0L W16, four turbochargers. Bugatti needed every horse of that to hit 304 mph. BYD's Yangwang U9 Xtreme did 308 with four electric motors and a battery pack. Marc Basseng, the driver, won the Nürburgring 24 Hours. He said the run was "technically not possible with a combustion engine." He's right. A combustion engine produces a power curve that peaks at a specific RPM and falls off either side. Past 9,000 RPM the valves float, the connecting rods stretch, the pistons can't reverse direction fast enough. The W16 is the absolute thermodynamic ceiling of 100 years of internal combustion. Every mph past 290 cost exponentially more engineering for diminishing returns. The U9 Xtreme uses four electric motors. Each produces 744 hp. Each spins to 30,000 RPM. No valves. No pistons. No connecting rods. Total system output is 2,978 hp, almost double Bugatti's W16. Power-to-weight is 1,217 hp per tonne. The motors were never the hard part. Mate Rimac said this years ago. The constraint was always the battery, because to deliver 2,978 hp into four wheels you have to discharge faster than any production EV ever has. BYD built the world's first 1,200-volt production car. Everyone else uses 800V. The Blade Battery runs lithium iron phosphate cells with a 30C discharge rate, ten times what a conventional EV battery handles. Heat generation falls 67% versus 800V at matching output. That last number is the whole game. Heat is what kills high-power EV runs. Other automakers derate within seconds at full power because the battery cooks itself. BYD's architecture lets the Xtreme hold maximum discharge long enough to actually approach the aerodynamic limit of the chassis. Bugatti spent 20 years engineering the W16 to its physical ceiling. BYD spent 18 months building the architecture that cleared it. They're making 30 of them. The crown for fastest production car on Earth has belonged to Bugatti, Koenigsegg, Hennessey, SSC. All combustion, all European or American. The crown is Chinese now, and it runs on a battery.
