@GTL_310 @mcuban So true. Defund the police.

@mcuban I’ve noticed lots of people with means choose to use private security when taxpayer funded protection is insufficient.

The big lie of “gov sucks at everything “ , is that they suck the most at enforcing performance and costs. You know what’s worse than the gov running a service? Private companies knowing that the gov entities they contract with can’t do shit to stop them from fucking up everything and making a fortune. I’m not saying this applies to every private company. Many do have ethics. Not all. And as an entrepreneur, it’s embarrassing to us all. Need proof ? Look at the Noem ad contract. Look at healthcare. Taxpayers provide 70pct or more of the revenue of the largest insurance companies. Those same insurance companies get fined and found liable for ripping off taxpayers, again and again and again. And they still get to do business with the gov, knowing they can effectively steal money from us all. The fines are a nuisance. And this is healthcare. When they lie, people die. Maybe when we are smart enough to pass laws saying that gov contractors get one mulligan. Two fines from any government entity and you are blacklisted from Gov contracts at the state and federal level for 10 years. That’s when things will change Until then the concept of privatization of gov services like the tsa or post office or .. is just a license for a private company to abuse taxpayers and face next to no consequences.

@Rafa_Mangual I mean. Yeah? Should the locals be paying for more people to come visit? lol. You either have the hotels pay for the campaign directly - since they are the primary beneficiaries, or you pass the cost onto the people who will be visiting. But the hotels run their own campaigns. So

Hang on… Chicago wants to attract more tourists. It has created a marketing campaign to do that; and, in order to fund it, the city is… making it more expensive to stay in Chicago by raising taxes on hotel rooms? Do I have that right?

@MarxistHeathen Kristy Noem is foaming at the mouth right now.

passing a “no killing puppies” law where i just define “killing puppies” to include “being trans in public” so i can accuse opponents of wanting to kill puppies

@oliveegger Jesus and Mary Magdalene

He was a virgin, she was formerly promiscuous, could I make it anymore obvious

And that’s why I don’t listen to people who complain about nyc rent. I pay $1,820, with pre-tax income, a year and can get anywhere in this city. Average car payment, plus insurance, plus registration, plus gas, plus maintenance is gonna cost you more than you save on rent.

@Notwokenow False idols made of chocolate eggs and snowflake Starbucks cups.

Cadbury has changed Easter to “This Season.” But they’re still profiting from selling Easter Eggs. Christianity is not shameful. It is not offensive. Not another dime should be spent on Cadbury products by any Christian. Anywhere. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

I hate myself for engaging with this, but: even with NYC taxes, $3900 in monthly rent, $4200 in daycare and $10k saved you've got about $110k left over for the year for everything else. The answer to "how a family of 3 lives on $500,000 on the upper west side" is "with ease"

I’m not gonna say there isn’t a terrible job market - but when you submit a Resume with the document named, “Mannn this one”…I gotta believe part of it is the applicants.

@hey_mindi Criticizes goodwill for doing what you do more successfully is honestly hilarious.

I love talking about thrifting, reselling and how to make money doing both. If that's your cup of tea, follow along on @hey_mindi

Did you know Goodwill made $2.1 BILLION in revenue last year? They pay executives 6-figure salaries. They pay workers sometimes less than minimum wage via a legal loophole. They get their inventory donated for free then sell it back to the public. The thrift store for “poor people” is one of the most profitable nonprofits in the country.

There’s a guy at my gym who is an extra in the wedding scene, and it cuts to his face fairly prominently. And every time I see him I want to go “ohmygod wait - were you in SEX AND THE CITY TWO!! WITH LIZA!?” And while I think it would be hilarious - I’m positive he would not. Lol

ohhhh I can’t WAIT to see this

@Awildmustang_ Not Colton

who do you think can pull THIS off???

If @NikkiGlaser had any balls - she’d have @TheLisaGilroy join her as a “comedy double” at the golden globes as a bit.

If you invite me to a pool party - I’m in the pool. FOH with that.

Cher and the post office

@SereseUK @AndrewGold_ok @HelenWebberley By that logic - trans fats are actually good for you!

Trans (Before the ideological capture) literally meant "Too the other side" or "Across and beyond". So a trans women, is by definition a man that "moved to the other side" so still a MAN. The only thing that changed was how they identified. If they were a "Women" you should be able to remove the trans adjective and it still be a WOMEN. That isn't the case. She made a false comparison.

Is a trans woman a woman? 🤔 Dr Helen Webberley gives her view... @HelenWebberley

Girl I’m bored let’s exit a subway station and come to an abrupt stop at the top of the stairs

This Chappell situation kind of feels like the sort of PR nightmare Wanda Sykes would have to clean up for Chase Dreams on The Other Two

I will not. I do not trust computer illiterate boomers and critical thinking illiterate college grads to find what’s obvious.
