@SenWarren We should offer free healthcare to all kids. Why is no one pushing that anymore?

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

@grok @AlbieDuncan @ksorbs @grok why do they get this privilege when no one else can. What other benefits do politicians get that ordinary citizens do not have?

For everyday married folks, IRS rules (Pub 503) bar the Child and Dependent Care Credit for payments to your spouse or yourself for caring for your own kids—it's not a qualified expense, as it's personal, not arm's-length. Self-employment deductions don't apply either unless it's a separate licensed daycare business serving non-family clients. Campaign funds are the outlier, but only for candidates: FEC allows it solely if childcare is a direct result of campaign activities (e.g., travel/events), not routine family needs. No other general "funds" loopholes exist.

I'm not a politician, so correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't using campaign funds to pay your wife a big no-no?

@AlbieDuncan @ksorbs @grok as a married man, what other instances can I pay my self or my wife for child care using funds.

@ksorbs Since you asked, here is your answer. No, it’s not illegal. It only took me 45 seconds to Google it. If I’m guessing, you Googled it and found the answer, and decided to play ignorant instead. Ignorance seems to be your default.

@SSB_Rick I am I a similar spot. We were told to get divorced and go on Medicaid. I wish I did it, my son missed out on many treatments not covered by our private insurance that Medicaid would have fully covered. Also we would be in wayyyy less debt

People saying I need to work harder and grow up. I went from a $45 hour job to a $19 hour job with 50 hour weeks. I have 4 kids, one severely disabled, that’s why my wife can’t work. Yall need to grow up. I didn’t get fired, I got laid off a year ago and I’ve been trying everything. Maybe I’ll get called back, maybe I won’t. I lose my rights this August

@ick_real A ketogenic diet

without saying drugs, what's the cure for depression?

@vrexec “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.”

Something I don’t understand is how you can live in an apartment and complain about noise from your neighbors. We have two kids under 10 and they’re always making noise. Older neighbors sometimes complain or bang on the floor or ceiling. If you don’t like noise, then why are you living in a city or an apartment? Go live in the middle of nowhere. Go live in a farm town in a big field. You chose the convenience of urban life… you have to accept that you’re living around other humans. Get over it.

@girdley It's great. Also, AI helped me find some childhood friends I have been looking for forever. Who moved overseas when we were kids I the 1980s. Crazy

It's fascinating watching people who've had programming classes work with AI. They can intuitively break tasks into recipes for the AI to follow. At each step, understanding how the AI could misinterpret it. Normies struggle with this.

🇬🇧THIS IS A TEST 🇺🇸 ARE YOU IN AMERICA? I want to see if X has quietly added this regional restriction to their algorithm. Drop a comment if you're in America and see this post!

@KingVelesI My son poops concrete bricks that stop every toilet in the world. I assume they are good enough to build houses.

All I see is a cheerful and skilled woman who can build a house with her bare hands, and a bunch of pampered wusses who dunk on her because they are squeamish like little spoiled kids. Who of them do you think is still capable of reproducing above replacement? Exactly. Newsflash: Animal dung was extensively used in the West, including in America, as a building material until very recently. Look up "wattle and daub".

@LordLoveShack @khnh80044 Not obese.

@khnh80044 True Fact: Not a single Strongman Champion of Competitor EVER was a Bodybuilder. Not a single one, every one of them can be described as overweight or obese.

No athlete wanted to compete with him because of his weight. But one saw his potential and recognized the champion within him. 👏💪✨

@BrianRoemmele @Rainmaker1973 I have that account muted and blocked for posting something I did not like. I assume ai slop.

It is hard to imagine X without the brains, heart and soul @Rainmaker1973 brings. His life here, 14 hours a day was for you and me. Not sure what the algorithm thinks is “good” but it ain’t some image of some famous guy’s daughter. We need to be more careful with accounts that matter, his 4 million well earned follower here. The account IS THE SIGNAL.. I should not have to dig today to see his content only to see superb postings with 100 impressions. We all know this is wrong. I understand building a community here on X is hard but it is discouraging to see what has been done to his account. It is discouraging to know this situation has had such a material impact on him. I can’t talk about his private life, but you and I for a great many reasons is why he is with us. I pray for this man.

That the county. I joined a gang at 12.. in the county.. I just wanted to hang with my friends but they said I had to join the gang. Our OG would have us commit crimes and rob people. With a gun! As I avoided crimes with the excuse of "homework" I got out beat out quick. Sadly those kids except one all became hardened criminals. Back then they would have us commit crimes because any sentence we would receive was light.

@libsoftiktok This is why Brandon Scott swears crime is down in Baltimore. Crime isn’t down. They’re just not charging people

WTF. Two 11-year old twin brothers who ADMITTED to trying to steal multiple cars will face NO CHARGES. Maryland's juvenile justice reform law prevents them from being charged with a crime. WHAT?!

@BrandonStraka Find someone else to lend you hundreds of hounds of dollars on better terms?

An American buys a $138K home and sends $9,286 to the bank. Only $952 hits the principal. Over $8,300 goes to interest, taxes, and insurance. Feels less like ownership—and more like a system stacked against you.

@uscfan981 Bo Jackson ?

Y’all agree???

@grouchydiogenes @SandyofCthulhu Tyson cause the man in a real fight is not just throwing punches. Every street fight he goes right for the balls. He will bite your face off if he has to.

@SandyofCthulhu Either Tyson or Ali, the rest are either actors or engaged in disciplines that are almost useless within the fight sport world.

Mohammed Ali has a pretty good shot at it I’d say. He’s fast and tough. My karate instructor back in the 70s told me that one of the toughest opponents for a martial artist was a skilled boxer, because they could really take a hit and keep on coming, plus a boxer’s own punches were devastating.

@ThrillaRilla369 I had a co worker I would give rides home he lived not that out of the way. He would make me amazing dinners for giving him rides. I mostly ate canned soup cereal so it was great meals.

If a coworker has a car and lives near your house, and drives you to work every day, are you obligated to chip in for gas?🫣

@newstart_2024 I can tell you the kids will be much happier being able to spend all the time with their parents

A 40-year-old working mom of two just said what a lot of women are quietly thinking after years in the corporate grind: “I fell for it. Go to college, get the degree, you can have it all — career, kids, the whole thing. I don’t want to do it all anymore. I want to take my kids to school, pick them up, be there when they get home, chaperone field trips, volunteer, go to the gym, clean the house, do laundry, cook dinner… just be home.” She’s blunt: “It’s not worth it. Don’t fall for that sh... Find a way to be with your family.” It’s raw, honest, and hits different when you hear it from someone who’s lived both sides. Moms (and dads) — have you ever reached that point where the “have it all” dream started feeling like a trap? What would your ideal balance actually look like if money or societal pressure wasn’t part of the equation? Your thoughts 👇

@MarioNawfal @grok does this thing work well

Hong Kong engineer built a mosquito defense system that uses LiDAR and lasers to vaporize 30 mosquitoes per second. Better tech than half the air defense systems in the Middle East right now.

@rosscoulthart @usairforce @grok is this true ?

Drone swarms shut down one of the largest and most national security sensitive @usairforce bases in the United States during a major war. And we’re told the Air Force was powerless to stop it. These drones were “superior” to anything in Ukraine. Why is this not a major story?: “The electronic countermeasures failed to work.”

@TheProjectUnity That's because people have an unhealthy obsession with them. Focus on the reality we are here for, the next one will come next. You have a body that is a temple take care of it.

Even the DMT Elves are done with our shit.
