Why Capitalism? Private Property Rights incentivize people to improve their homes and assets; Price Signals distribute this decision making; Profit Motive leads people to smartly create excess capacity to win business share, profit, and wealth for investment, reserves, charity!

@roberto_camp @Samdumbthoughts @DirkMcCoy @rforan23 Yes, it is that risky. He’s already a lottery pick. There’s no incentive to stay, he’s at the maximum threshold he can reach for the draft. Even if it’s only 1% chance things go wrong, it’s not worth it. Incredibly high risk for no reward at all except personal aspirations.

@roberto_camp @c_olin5 @rforan23 Wagler has zero risk coming back. He’s no athletic freak without game sense, rather lots of game sense beyond his athleticism and just normal growth and strength progress will make him an NBA All-Star. The only risk is that his shot stalls like Ayo’s did for a bit- still M$$$$$$s

@townhallcom It looks to me like the only reason for the delay was to allow Trump to “save the day” Monday. Typical Congress taking months to do what they could do on a week.

@townhallcom He doesn’t like “zero” for Border Patrol but I thought the Senate bill funded TSA immediately, Border Patrol has enough funds to operate until a reconciliation bill not requiring 60 votes could pass for Border Patrol later. So why hold this up?

@Neal1125786 @XFreeze In the 30 seconds I’ve thought about this my question is this- which could provide an advantage staying on Mars and being recycled for other use vs. returning?

Everyone thought the future was carbon fiber Elon Musk looked at the physics and chose stainless steel for Starship instead Sounds insane.... until you realize stainless gets stronger at cryogenic temperatures, handles reentry heat better, and costs massively less than advanced composites. It doesn't even need paint He chose a material that is faster to build, easier to weld, tougher in extreme conditions, and built for rapid iteration Classic Elon: ignore convention, trust first-principles engineering, and pick the solution everyone else missed He is taking science fiction and making it real. Building things that only existed in imagination, and pushing them to the absolute limits of physics

@PramilaJayapal Fine, you pay for everything. Oh wait, you can’t afford it? How about history has shown we can’t afford Socialism? It’s not a greed problem, it’s a reality problem, and we need people who know reality, not politicians pandering to dreams for votes.

Let me break this down simply: We have a greed problem. We can afford Medicare for All. We can afford to house every person sleeping on the street. We can afford to make public college tuition free and guarantee access to universal pre-k to every child in America. The money exists. It's just sitting in the bank accounts of billionaires who write blank checks to corrupt politicians to make sure it stays there. Tax the rich. Fund the people. That's it.

@elonmusk Jesus was before Creation. Creation came about so His (insert word that can’t fully describe his perfect glory here) could be known, emulated, and worshipped forever and ever, amen. If you want to use the word simulation, it is equally insufficient but it conveys aspects.

I had dinner once with a top physicist and a top computer scientist and asked what they thought the probability was that we were in a simulation. They answered simultaneously at 0% and 100% respectively. It was like a double-slit experiment, but with humans.
Interstellar@InterstellarUAP

🚨 Simulation Theory: The Double Slit Experiment proves particles act like waves until observed then they snap into particles. What if our reality only "renders" when we're looking, just like a video game optimizing resources? Check out this episode from The Why Files breaking it down, tying it to Simulation Theory. Are we in a sim? This could be the key to unlocking the true nature of existence! The Why Files video did a great job on explaining the Double Slit Experiment & Simulation Theory What do YOU think—real or rendered? Drop your thoughts below!

@JBTradeJournal @thecurioustales The Bible tells us reality was created, that God won’t be proved, that Jesus was before Creation, and humans suck- but God is too great to let us suck forever and we can know Christ’s love and His Spirit. It takes way more faith to disbelieve than believe IMO.

@thecurioustales It doesn’t prove that there is a god Just proves there’s a “design” so it’s more likely we live in a simulation Your “god” could be a alien race or beings living in a different dimension or whatever Doesn’t prove there is a spiritual entity

I believe this is most certainly true. I am uncertain how it will all work out. But secure borders, peaceful Middle East, strong families, and capitalism are ideas I support so I’m still hoping for the best…
Robert Von Allan@CottonsRevenge

@AlexBerenson @realDonaldTrump If you genuinely believe this you really really have missed the boat on what drives Donald Trump. Guy believes in not only MAGA but the legacy it gives him and his family. That means substantive, lasting, demonstrable outcomes that are indisputably his doing.

@Recru1t1ng_Guru I hate to say it, but I honestly think Petro getting 6-8 minutes a game could have yielded us 3 more wins.

@tomselliott @Allfortime0503 States setting immigration policy would be a direct refutation of the Constitution. Differences in welfare programs and cooperation with Federal agencies, OK, but the Federal government will determine who can be here lawfully and no state will be allowed to prohibit their entry.

@Allfortime0503 If the federal govt were defunded, states would return to being truly sovereign states, and thus set their own respective immigration policy

Trying to stay current I watch the Grammys. Beside my usual concerns, they lip synch? Doesn’t seem right, hope the Super Bowl isn’t AI. And BTW all pics and videos edited from reality should be marked differently from unaltered. Congress, what would you say you do around here?

@IllinoisRivals Number 1? What made Jordan (and not even number 1) Jordan, and not Pippen or Wilkins? Keaton has it.

The Keaton Wagler story: 1. Illinois takes a chance on a three-star prospect with just one other high-major offer. 2. He looks good in summer practices. Maybe there’s something here. 3. Wagler might be good enough to crack the starting lineup. 4. He’s better than expected, emerging as one of the team’s top scorers. But will the freshman wall hit? 5. Okay, he's our most consistent scorer. 6. One of the best freshmen in the Big Ten. 7. Could he be a one-and-done? 8. He’s one of the best freshmen in the country. 9. Is he a first-round NBA pick? 10. He’s one of the best players in the Big Ten. 11. Could he be a lottery pick? 12. One of the best players in college basketball. 13. How high in the lottery?

Can you imagine coaching a kid one one on one and a few years later he’s being mentioned as Top 5 (and maybe #1) NBA draft pick as a college freshman?
VWBACERTIFIED@vicwilli

Watching @KeatonW34 get a big time win last night against Purdue while contributing 46 points was easily my proudest moment… We have visualized that moment inside of our workouts for many years …. The moves he’s using in this video will look real familiar…

Today the No. 1 2028 player in IL, 4⭐️ Brady Pettigrew, met the No. 2 2028 player in IL, 4⭐️ Cole Kelly 😳 The two combined for 55 points in front of a packed When Sides Collide crowd 🔥 Cole’s 29 points led No. 9 Neuqua Valley to the 75-69 win over Bolingbrook. Brady finished with 26 📈

The series of events, including the accidental first shot. What one thinks of ICE, or protesters getting into the middle of their operations, will be on the ballot in the midterms. I’d hope we could agree this was very sad and no good reason for it, whatever our view of ICE is.
Joe Redwood@humbdinino_joe

An ICU NURSE who was filming with his cellphone went to assist a woman who ICE SS AGENTS had assaulted for filming them. He helped her up & one of the ICE AGENTS SLIPPED on the icy street - he was then assaulted himself even though he held his hand up in compliance. He was then sprayed & beaten & murdered Even though his weapon had been confiscated by officer Gray coat. Summary : 1. ICE LOOKING FOR A PARTICULAR ILLEGAL 2. Woman filming gets assaulted & pushed down 3. VETS ADMINISTRATION ICU NURSE GIES TO HELP HER 4. Original ICE agent who pushed her Slips down on curb. 5. Pack of ICE SS MADDOGS ATTACK ICU NURSE 6. ICE agents PEPPER SPRAY ICU NURSE IN FACE 7. ICE AGENTS WRESTLE icu nurse to ground & GEORGE FLOYD HIM 8. ICE AGENT Gray coat takes ICU NURSE’s 9mm & exits 9. ICE AGENT YELLS “gun” & ICE SCATTER & Fire 14 shots into ICU NURSE who is LAYING BEATEN & pepper sprayed on his back. 10. After a 90 second pause - ICE SS AGENTS go back to now dying ICU NURSE & instead of giving medical assistance- ICE SS AGENTS are frantically looking for the GUN❓ 11. FINALLY figured out where gun went & Circled the Wagons & kept Local medical & POLICE AWAY FROM SCENE in complete violation of standard procedures & Protocol. THE TAPES WILL TELL IT ALL & someone is guilty of MURDER. 9 MONTHS & 10 days till the ELECTION that make today RIGHT for the AMERICA WE LOST in NOVEMBER 2024.
