Fed Up Guy

@the_finas Absolutely nothing. But put 'Africa' as your location in your Bio, and just be transparent about it. There are THOUSANDS of Africa based accounts complaining about Social Security, US Taxes, US Housing, Boomers, ... all pretending to be US citizens facing the day-to-day.

@FedUpGuy5 Whats wrong with you being an African on X… I really don’t understand you people …

My wife sat me down last month. I had just closed my best trading week of the year. $18,000 in 3 sessions. She said “I need you to get a job.”“A real one.”“Something with a title and a schedule and somewhere to be.” I showed her the trading account. She looked at it for 4 seconds. Then said: “I do not care about the money.”“You play PlayStation until 4pm.”“My friends ask what you do and I do not know what to say.”“You have no structure. No colleagues. No office. Nothing.”“It feels like living with someone who gave up.” $300,000 to $500,000 a year. 2 to 3 hours of actual work. And the woman who knows me best looks at me like I am her unemployed husband who refuses to get a job. The market rewards results. The people around you reward the appearance of effort. Those two things are not always compatible.

@darrelltalksfi Oops, missed that.

@FedUpGuy5 I cover that in the thread

“I make too much money for a Roth IRA.” I used to think that too. Then I learned there’s a loophole the IRS built right into the tax code. It allows high earners to contribute even if they are above the income limit. Here’s how it works:

@RadioGenoa These fake videos are annoying. 1) why are they filming 2) so she supposedly ate 2 lobsters and 30 oysters This is a horribly written script and acting. 1 hour in the kitchen pays off the $84??

She orders a lobster and oyster lunch, but then says she doesn't have the money to pay.

@MarketPalmer_ Not everyone. Many people will always be priced out of the market. But I am looking forward to Tesla Optimus coming out. I will be an early buyer!!!

Be honest: Do you think everyone will eventually own a robot to help them around their house? Or is that a fairytale being sold to us?

@JennuhMarilyn I think the responses indicate that most people think you are delusional with a mental illness. But if you want to play dress up, that is your business. But a 5yo with a brain nowhere near developed should be making a life changing decision.

When I was 5 I would pray to God to change me into a girl. I was homeschooled by Christian Fundamentalist parents, completely sheltered from the outside world and yet I knew who I was Trans kids aren’t “groomed by trans people”. Denying trans kids healthcare is evil and inhumane

@JennuhMarilyn List of activities and ages that the law deems you are old enough and mature enough to make the decision: Drink - 21 Smoke - 18 Buy a gun - 21 Get a tattoo - 18 Vote - 18 But sure, a 5 year old that thinks they may become a superhero can make the decision about changing genders

@heresanorder @AbakpaJob He is already living in Africa

@AbakpaJob And there are places where gov't either doesn't exist or where it's so minimal it's essentially meaningless. Parts of Latin America, the Caribbean, most of Africa. You could exist in a place where the gov't doesn't tax you. I guarantee the quality of life would be less.

I can never understand the concept of "TAXES" we are literally paying the government for existing WTF?!?!

@AbakpaJob Take it up with the Gov't of whatever African country you belong?

@FluentInFinance So you are talking a monthly payment on the same value house, so the difference is in Interest Rate, although the post you referenced was about home value, not payments. Why are interest rates higher? Printing mass money, gov't spending during Covid and runaway inflation.

A $500K mortgage is now about $3,150 a month. A $500K mortgage was about $2,000 a month in 2021. Over $1,000 more each month for the same home.

@JSS2445 If those guns are legally owned, are legal (eg, no automatic), and the owners pass the regulations of the Fed and State (eg, no convicted felons, domestic violence), and they live in a state with allowed concealed carry, then they are fine.

Yall love the 2nd amendment as long as black ppl don't partake of it

@omgsidewalks Introduce this in Africa where you are from and let's see how it works

Yes, it's completely abnormal for people to spend more time at work than with their families. We need a 4-day, 32-hour workweek with livable wages. There is no reason people should be working this much. The working class deserves to live their lives too.

@JamieBonkiewicz Are we equating deportation with extermination? Sending them back to their legal home with sending them to a gas chamber to be killed? Just want to ensure I am understanding your analogy.

One of the first things Nazis did was dehumanize the people they targeted. This post is about ICE.

@yesadok @AbakpaJob Your tax dollars pay for it

@AbakpaJob Libraries are the only defense left

It’s so exhausting living in a system where nearly every place is designed to take money, every moment is supposed to cost money, everything is about money. It’s like our entire lives are just for rent, nowhere to sit down for free, nowhere to rest, then you pay again.

@jeremyct And I call you an African based troll account:

I’ll say it again. The average American works 47 hours a week. Not 40. 47. Gets paid for 40. Those 7 extra hours every week are 364 hours a year. That’s 9 full work weeks of free labor you give your employer annually. They call it dedication. Economists call it wage theft. You call it keeping your job.

@BarryLMorgan @NotAvgLiberal @Martina It happened, under Biden:

@NotAvgLiberal @Martina

This is Trump’s America. Where you choose between rent, And your health. Fuck Trump. And everyone who voted for him.

@NotAvgLiberal YOU STUPID SCHMUCK...This happened during the Biden Presidency in Jan 2024. You are so hell bent on voicing your hatred of Trump, you don't let facts get in the way.

@amelia_tweetz If you only had a device in your hands that would explain everything...

Serious question for people who understand economics. If inflation is only around 3.5%, why does it feel like food costs 2x, rent is through the roof, and everyday life is way more expensive than a few years ago? What exactly is the inflation number measuring? Feels like regular people are living in a completely different reality.

@UziCryptoo Is your solution that society, AKA taxpayers, are supposed to pay for this person to sit at home so they can make memories? My wife didn't work because we prioritized it, lived responsibly, and could afford it. Stay home if you want to stay home, but don't ask me to pay for it

"Moms don't want to work anymore.." Actually Mom's don't want to pay $2,400 a month for someone else to watch their kid hit every milestone. They don't want to miss the first steps because they were on a Zoom call at work. They don't want to ask for time off to take their sick baby to the doctor. Moms don't hate working. They hate working in a system that pretends their family doesn't exist.
