@ThirstyyTiger @RnaudBertrand Or when the competing market’s government subsidizes the production of goods to harm other markets

@RnaudBertrand "free trade" doesn't exist when an American worker is paid $20 an hour and a foreign worker is paid $5 an hour and the products from both of these workers is in the same market.

The immense irony of the US now flat out refusing capitalism's basic rule of letting the best products win.

@MorePerfectUS This is definitely satire.

NEW: If Waymo gets its way, 2 million workers will be out of work. When Waymo gets a firm hold on a city, wages go down. Some drivers now have to work 12 hours day, 7 days a week just to get by. This isn't inevitable — but Big Tech is spending millions to make you think it is.

@Bgolf45 @60Minutes Anyone who has ever watched news from Mexico knows this

@60Minutes 🐂💩 they have to hide their identity because they have to protect their families from lunatics..... You have to come into the USA legally..... Every country has laws.... Just like the Wall around the Vatican, you have to come in legally

Cardinal Joseph Tobin criticizes the Trump administration's mass deportation campaign. “When they have to hide their identities to terrify people, when they can actually violate other guarantees of our Constitution and Bill of Rights, well, I think somebody's got to call that out,” he says. cbsn.ws/3Q8MaOA

Either you borrow with proper risk adjusted underwriting, higher rates and denials for bullshit degrees and risky credit, and allow bankruptcy discharge, or you get NINJA loans, and they can’t be discharged. Lenders ain’t gonna lend if you could just not repay the loan, after not having to qualify for it.

Why on earth can you not discharge student loans through bankruptcy?

@HsrRaza @CryptoMikli Raising drug prices shouldn’t have to be defensible, don’t buy it if it’s too expensive. If you need the drug to live, just imagine how bad your life would be if greedy capitalists hadn’t invented it.

Martin Shkreli always wants to rewrite the story as “the media lied.” Even if there was an alternative like Trimethoprim, taking a drug from $13.50 to $750 overnight is still indefensible. You do not get credit for not personally cashing out when you built the system that did it.

Martin Shkreli says he never made a dollar after raising a drug price from $13.50 to $750 “I’d rather not make a dollar, and I actually never made a dollar off that deal. I never took a salary at Turing. I didn’t make a penny from it. The company never paid fat dividends, nothing. It was just a bad deal. No person on earth is that evil that they’d rather make money than let somebody live or die. That’s just not the case” “One thing the media forgot to mention is that there’s another drug that treats this disease that costs about 10 cents. It’s called trimethoprim. But if you’re a reporter, that makes the story less compelling” “If they really had the public in mind, they would say: ‘Attention everyone, this man is raising the price of this drug, but you can take this other drug and everything will be fine.’ But that’s not front page news”

@sugarbets_ @weareXRAYCAT @ronrule There are a few exceptions. Tech engineers, and management. You have to consider cost benefit, many white collar jobs that we’re referring to not only pay less, but come with a significant student loan burden.

@weareXRAYCAT @ronrule You’re telling me the guys swinging hammers and turning wrenches are making good money? What income percentile?

I find it odd how the blue collar career paths most important to society and infrastructure are looked down on by the left, while simultaneously they praise useless degrees like Gender Studies and encourage kids to pursue nonsense like that. What’s the explanation for this?

@sugarbets_ @weareXRAYCAT @ronrule Skilled blue collar work is on average, higher paid than, many white collar jobs. I routinely see plumbers, electricians, resteraunt owners etc earning more than folks with masters degrees. Source, I’m a loan officer.

@ALibertyHome @dnvr_is_burning I hate statistics too *sigh*, they don’t affirm my political beliefs.

@dnvr_is_burning Only people in apartment buildings are behaving antisocial 😂 omg you are fear p0rn

Lakewood voters soundly rejected zoning reform that would have allowed more multifamily development People will always reject density if it's not safe and clean No one wants apt buildings full of people behaving antisocially next door

@kathrwn It would be much cheaper to eliminate the income tax and fire everyone at the IRS. In case you were wondering.

paying $70 to file my taxes and remembering that just two years ago the IRS was on the verge of rolling out a nationwide direct file program that would allow millions of americans to save time and money on filing taxes and also not have to put my SSN and addy in a random website

@JediWeinerDog2 @ManaByte The bible has no bearing on physics, nor physics has any bearing on the bible. If someone misunderstands this. God help them.

@ManaByte Flat earthers believe the Bible teaches the earth is flat and you cannot send rockets through the firmament. Does not matter about what the science claims... It will never trump faith.

There is a reason people do not debate Flat Earthers or Moon landing deniers. It is not because the evidence is weak. It is because the conversation is rigged from the start. You can bring measurements, physics, engineering, independent tracking, international verification, and experiments they can do in their own backyard, and none of it matters. The moment the facts show up, they shout fake, edited, CGI, conspiracy, or “that’s just your belief.” You cannot debate someone who treats every piece of evidence as invalid by default. You cannot debate someone who demands proof and then rejects the proof the second it appears. You cannot debate someone who thinks their personal disbelief outranks measurable reality. A debate requires both sides to accept evidence. Flat Earth and Moon landing denial collapse the moment evidence enters the room, so the only move left is to deny the room exists. That is why people do not debate them. Not because the globe is fragile, but because the argument they bring is. You cannot have a real discussion with someone who decided ahead of time that nothing you show them will ever count.

@komonews Oh don’t worry, successfull people are smarter than the looters. It’ll be fine.

Across the country, at least ten states, including Washington, are now exploring or have already passed an exit or wealth tax to combat revenue losses from residents fleeing to lower tax areas komonews.com/news/nation-wo…

@matteberhardt1 @jeffcosheriffco Are you out of your mind? This is obviously super important. 🤣

@jeffcosheriffco Your agency should have about a million other priorities than some obscure law made by the communist legislature about what's too powerful. Go arrest some illegals and violent offenders, there is NO shortage of them in your jurisdiction. 🤡s

A Growing Concern in Jefferson County: Not Every “E-Bike” Is Legally an E-Bike The Sheriff's Office is seeing a sharp increase in young riders using electric vehicles that may look like e-bikes but are actually much more powerful. Many of these vehicles are marketed online as “e-bikes,” but once you check the specs, they exceed the 750-watt legal limit and are classified as motor vehicles under Colorado law. The concern is not legal e-bikes. It is e-motos, high-powered electric motorcycles disguised as bicycles. Some manufacturers even add non-functional pedals to make them appear compliant. In reality, these vehicles often have motors ranging from 1,000 to 6,000+ watts and can reach speeds of 30 to 65+ mph. What parents should know before buying: • If the motor is over 750 watts, it is not a legal e-bike in Colorado • 750W to 4,476W vehicles may be classified as low-power electric vehicles and require a driver’s license, insurance, and registration • Vehicles over 4,476W are classified as motorcycles and require a motorcycle endorsement, plus licensing, insurance, and registration • Riders can face fines, and unregistered vehicles may be impounded • Adults who knowingly allow, aid, or encourage a minor to illegally operate a vehicle may face criminal charges, including Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor, a class 1 misdemeanor Not every “e-bike” is actually an e-bike. Before you buy, check the wattage and know what the law requires. For more information on e-bikes and electric vehicles: jeffcosheriffco.gov/safety/e-bikes

@BlakeEWilliams @sola_chad YES

Most but not all were taught, but as a Protestant you believe in “verses versus verses” and so won’t accept the verses that support these things but instead rely on different verses to justify whatever it is you want. Imagine the chaos that would ensue if the people that wrote the Constitution didn’t provide for the existence of a Supreme Court to settle any interpretive differences as regards the Constitution. Oh wait…..you don’t need to imagine what that would be like, you can see it clearly displayed amongst the FORTY THOUSAND and ever growing number of Protestant sects, all claiming verses of the Bible to justify their positions on myriad issues of worship, moral teachings, marriage and family, theological differences, etc etc etc.

If that’s true, then why didn’t Jesus or the Apostles teach any of this? · Purgatory · The papacy · Relic veneration · Praying the rosary · Transubstantiation · Prayers to the dead · Sinlessness of Mary · Confession to priests x.com/vitus_osst/sta…

@EiratheIntern Why don’t you start? Like right now. Get off the internet and do it.

The way we treat uncontacted tribes is a crime against humanity. We should be contacting *every* uncontacted tribe and give them modern medicine. Any argument against is just a noble savage fantasy from rich academics.

@herman_codes @Rightanglenews If that’s the case, it’s called disparate impact and I’m fairly certain it’s a civil rights violation.

@Rightanglenews So did he actually say that or just that he's taxing higher wealth more and they're typically white

BREAKING - NYC voters are shocked as Zohran confirms he will be moving forward with his campaign promise to tax White people at higher rates to help alleviate burdens on black residents. “The wealth of a White household in the city is $200,000, while that of a black is $20,000.”

@SBakerMD George Soros. Favorite, Elon.

Who is your least favorite billionaire?

@901bootleg @romanhelmetguy Did you grandfather have student loans? Did he finance new cars regularly? Did his house Have AC? Did he go on vacation abroad regularly? How many big screen TV’s did he have? What was his average credit card balance?

@romanhelmetguy Yeah but my grandfather worked 40 hours a week for a salary that paid for his house, food including meat, and his five children without my grandmother having to work. So why now do two people have to work 60 hours a week to afford rent and food?

When Marx published the Communist Manifesto in 1848, the average laborer in Paris worked 12 hours a day 6 days a week, spent 80% of his income just on food and the rest on rent but still couldn’t afford any meat, and had to have his wife and kids work as well just to not die.

@fmfclips Just so everyone’s aware, this does work, but be near a bathroom.

Taking a single high dose (25–30g) of creatine not only reverses the cognitive impairment caused by 21 hours of sleep deprivation, it can boost brain function beyond fully rested levels Neuroimaging reveals the mechanism: ->High doses of creatine quickly replenish brain energy stores, enhancing neuronal function and metabolic efficiency under extreme stress This makes high-dose creatine a powerful tool for situations like jet lag, red-eye flights, and unavoidable sleep loss

@SBakerMD Same!

@EwoodTerraces @onestep4ward @Mrs_ARockstar What is fair is what people are willing to pay.

@onestep4ward @Mrs_ARockstar This tweet should be framed and hung on every street corner so that people don’t ever forget what parasitical profiteers you lot are, you don’t charge what is fair, you charge what is spare (even if it isn’t spare).

Can someone explain why it’s legal to do 3% increase on rent each year, when our pay is not going up 3% each year? Like I’m literally being priced out of my apartment where I live where am I supposed to go?
