@Bigqadi Only high school kids working entry level are getting paid minimum wages. If a grown ass moron is on minimum wage, you’re the problem.

In the 1930s, average rent was $18 a month. At $0.25/hour, you could pay rent in 72 hours of work. Today, to pay $1000 rent at the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hour, you gotta work 138 hours.

🚨BREAKING: MACRON DELIVERS A DIRECT STRIKE TO TRUMP France just executed a masterclass in economic warfare. Macron’s central bank sold its last 129 tonnes of gold held in New York vaults then smartly replaced it with European bullion. Result? €13 BILLION in pure profit locked in. All of France’s 2,437 tonnes of gold reserves are now secured in Paris. No more foreign custody. Full sovereignty. Gold home where it belongs. Europe is quietly fortifying its position. This is how you play the long game. Source: Banque de France / RFI

@jarvis_best How are you going to run/maintain it ? Who are you gonna tax then?

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could build this entire high speed rail network—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@hell_line0 You experienced all this while sitting in East Pakistan?

Millennials watched their parents lose everything in 2008. Then got handed $100K in student debt. Then got called entitled for wanting a living wage. Then survived a pandemic in our prime years. Then got priced out of every neighborhood we grew up in. And y’all really wonder why we’re not okay? We’ve been in survival mode for 20 years straight and nobody even noticed.

@dcpetterson @just_another_jo We all know what a moron Merrick Garland is. Law and order went down to the crapper while we had him as the attorney general. Another bullet dodged there. Only regret is having that DEI moron on the bench. On the bright side avg black American women have lower life expectancy.

@just_another_jo Obama tried that, with Merrick Garland. McConnell wouldn't even allow hearings, knowing that Garland would have sailed through almost unanimously.

Rumor has it Justice Alito will retire at the end of this SCOTUS term (i.e., sometime this summer). So Trump will have appointed 4 of the 9 Justices. If you'd have elected Clinton in '16 and Harris in '24, by this fall there'd be 7 liberal Justices on the Court. Fuck you all.

@dcpetterson @Markcava I’m so glad Americans aren’t as stupid as democrats and dodged the bullet both times.

@Markcava Unfortunately, they can't. Republicans control the Senate. All it takes is a majority vote, that can't be filibustered.

@sabine_fauth @JulianRoepcke Europeans are so great, why can’t they fund their own wars? Why do you need a handout from America? Maybe make your illegal immigrants work a little more and generate more revenue to pay for your wars? Oh they don’t work? Surprise surprise. Allloooo ekbar! Boom 💥

@JulianRoepcke Während Israel unter Trump weiter seine 3,8 Milliarden Dollar Jahresgeschenk fürs Landschaften-Planieren kassiert, guckt die Ukraine in die Röhre. Sie bekommt keinen Cent.

Die Rettung eines abgeschossenen US-Piloten im Iran hat die USA etwa 300 Millionen $ an Ausrüstung gekostet. Beeindruckend und bewundernswert, was dem US-Militär das Leben seiner Soldaten wert ist.

@sabine_fauth @JulianRoepcke Fight your own wars. Europeans have proved that they aren’t really our allies. Meanwhile Israel and US friendship is thicker than blood.

@FS801209 @14martinc @Faytuks Actually no, Pakistani army refused to even take back the dead bodies of their soldiers after they died during the kargil war in 1999.

@14martinc @Faytuks Of course we would. And I bet that if your military has any sense, it would reevaluate the cost and the risk for putting 100s and 1000s on the ground in Iran using this as a use case. It is not about rescuing your own. It is about what it'll incur to send them and bring em back.

"In a final twist after the weapons officer was rescued, two transport planes that would carry the commandos and the airmen to safety got stuck at a remote base in Iran. Commanders decided to fly in three new planes to extract all the U.S. military personnel and the airmen, and they blew up the two disabled planes rather than have them fall into Iranian hands." -NYT

Income tax rates should be 0% for poor people, 25% for middle class people, 40% for rich people, and 70% on every dollar past $10M. There should also be a 5% wealth tax on anyone with more than $1B in assets.

@TrumpChibi @MorticianShines @schafer_von @rmtimber @TheQuartering @Xemployeessuck And what culture is that?

@Chaman228 @MorticianShines @schafer_von @rmtimber @TheQuartering @Xemployeessuck What about a culture that treats children as objects and status symbols?

aaaaaaaaaand he's dead

@TrumpChibi @TheQuartering The fact they don’t have issues with rape of underage girls by grown men is pathetic. And what’s more pathetic is Muslims coming to defend it.

@Chaman228 @TheQuartering And where in either the Bible, the Talmud, or the Koran is age an issue?

@WeSee2024 @MikeLevin

@MikeLevin Ugh…very badly! They hate America and can’t understand why Trump was elected TWICE and why he hasn’t been removed yet. Answer….he didn’t win! He had Russian help BOTH times and he’s dug in like a tick!!

This is truly insane, and it should be front page news across America.  Denmark secretly deployed soldiers to Greenland prepared to blow up airport runways to stop a U.S. invasion. They brought blood supplies to treat the wounded. France, Germany, Norway, and Sweden quietly coordinated against us. This was not a drill. This was our closest allies preparing to fight Americans. Let that sink in. NATO allies. Countries whose soldiers have fought and died alongside ours for decades. They looked at this president and decided they had to prepare for the worst. Fewer allies does not make America great. It makes us more isolated, more vulnerable, and it hands Russia and China exactly what they have always wanted: an America abandoned by its friends. The American people deserve to know how badly this president has damaged our standing in the world.  bbc.com/news/articles/…

@KanchanSin86282 @MikeLevin He is doing what’s in the best interest of his country. Democrats seem to disagree because they never treat Americans as their own and will go out to support foreigners. But not this president. He is for the people of America.

@MikeLevin The way President Trump is behaving in international arena, countries are taking every step to thwart his expansionary tactics, and rightly so. And he is not trustworthy, is the biggest lier of all times, and can't be counted as a friend.

@TrumpChibi @MorticianShines @schafer_von @rmtimber @TheQuartering @Xemployeessuck A religion that supports rape, treats women as objects and forces others to submit or be killed has no moral compass, never had it.

@MorticianShines @schafer_von @rmtimber @TheQuartering @Xemployeessuck Who is y'all? Seriously. I really want to know who you're referring to.

@TrumpChibi @TheQuartering A religion that supports marriage of 6 year olds with adults never had a moral compass.

@TheQuartering Unafraid to die a martyr like the early church. But the US is using tactics an Islamic fundamentalist regime would employ: Threat and coercion. The difference between Islam and the US? Islam has not lost its moral compass. It's not biblical, but it's very respectable.

@daeshikjr When billionaires and businesses have to pay more, they just increase the prices of the goods and services they sell. There’s a reason a McChicken costs $4 now in Seattle, that used to cost a $1 up Seattle jacked up minimum wages.

instead, less than two weeks after legislation passed, JSN signed a mega extension lol

Silence from the anti-millionaire tax crowd who swore the tax would cause the Seahawks to relocate. Instead, less than two weeks after the legislation passed, it’s been announced that the Sonics are coming back.

@daeshikjr @PSoundAdvice1 When they have to pay a billion more, don’t you think they’ll just jack up the seat prices even more? Hardly any common folk can afford tickets for Seahawks, and that was before this Super Bowl win. Imagine the prices next season.

@PSoundAdvice1 lol do you think if you keep tweeting for them the 1% will have your best interest in mind?

@WallofWTF @TonyGoldoni2003 @Bitcoin_Teddy You’ll always be miserable because you think your issues are someone else’s problems. Work hard and get shit done.

@TonyGoldoni2003 @Bitcoin_Teddy Out house ≠ $50k debt + $10 eggs + rent that eats 60% of your check Your dad’s ‘struggle’ came with affordable everything & pensions at the end. Ours comes with DoorDash tips & therapy bills. Not the same game fam 😭

Older generations say “we all struggled in our 20s.” No, you didn’t. You didn’t pay $3200 for rent and $10 for eggs. You didn’t graduate into $50K student debt and $0 job security. Gen Z isn’t dramatic. They’re drowning.

@colleenaschwab @komonews I’m tired of Palestinians coming here to lecture us. Go back and live in your dream land

@komonews Anyone bitching about the taxation of the upper class, needs to stop, as we should really increase taxation to the rates prior to 1980, but we haven't and for that, you should be quiet and grateful for the wealth you do have, as over 60% of Americans make less than 60k.

Seattle business leaders are reacting to Washington's new "Millionaires Tax" bill that passed the state house Tuesday. The Washington State Budget and Policy Center estimates it would hit as many as 30,000 Washington households to bring in about $4 billion per year for the General Fund. Under the plan, people making more than $1 million per year would pay a 9.9% tax on income above that threshold starting in 2029. #komo #komo4 #komonews #seattle #washington #millionaire #tax #incometax
