@tonyc920 @JewishWarrior13 As we well know, politics is cyclical. Let’s not burn all our bridges in those areas. They know they’ll have to start stepping up militarily over there. If they don’t, it’s on them but the austerity that will have to be done there will be shocking to their population.

The BIG 3 in Europe,... (Germany, France, and UK) have all turned into left wing socialist countries. We have much better allies with Poland, Romania, Czech Republic, Israel, Saudi's, UAE, and others. Let's invest with them and cut ties with these liberal countries that have taken the protection we provide them for granted. It's high time we reevaluate who our friends are and cut ties with the back stabbers.

🚨 NATO spokesperson, Alison Hart: We are working with the US to understand the details of their decision regarding the American forces stationed in Germany. It appears NATO was caught off guard by the announcement tonight of the American move to withdraw 5,000 soldiers from Germany.

@mitchellvii I’m not in LA but hell, folks, you have little to lose letting him try and fix things. It’s not like it’s a lifetime position. Maybe he can actually work with the people to get some good done there.

Wow can you imagine Spencer Pratt being the mayor of Los Angeles? What are your thoughts on this?

@Billofrights9 @oneleftshoe @Electroversenet Monterey California area. Last one was a doozy and testing has found in many of the agricultural fields around the plant after it went up. Heavy metal crap I guess settled in the soil from the smoke and ash.

@FreakinWeasel @oneleftshoe @Electroversenet You have, where? It’s very rare. Also for large scale battery plants they are using sodium technology. They don’t need the density of lithium batteries. Much cheaper and no fire risk at all.

California has built one of the largest solar fleets in the world. Panels are strewn across deserts, rooftops and valleys, costing taxpayers billions of dollars. It was promised as the power of the future. But then the duck curve hit. Solar floods the grid during the height of the day, far more than California can use, so operators are forced to dump gigawatts of "green" power. Then the sun sets and solar output collapses to zero, just as evening demand spikes. California then scrambles to fire up gas plants to keep the lights on, with billions more spent on this backup generation. The world's solar capital ends every day running on fossil fuels. A 24-7 gas grid would cost far less to construct and maintain than solar, and it would actually work 24-7.

@HillChris98203 @CuriosityonX Or he’d talk em into vaporizing 40% of us! 😳

@CuriosityonX Bill Gates, I'm assuming they'd vaporize him on the spot.

If aliens requested a meeting with a sole individual to represent the human race, whom should we send?

@MrJHolliday @CuriosityonX

@CuriosityonX I'll give it a shot. Boy I hope they won't probe me...

@Tardhump @Rightanglenews And a lifetime ban from holding any government post, elected or otherwise.

@Rightanglenews Candidates running that use threats violence or target political opposition should be hit with a 10yr sentence Those who hold a pos should get 15-20yrs No lvl of gov or pos should be held by ppl like this

A Pennsylvania Democrat senate candidate Raymond Chandler has been arrested after leaving multiple voicemails threatening to kill Senator John Fetterman’s 13 year old daughter and President Trump. This is who they are.

@TheJgriff73 @archer_rs Every base gonna be a Superfund site, just like here when they close bases.

@archer_rs Outstanding… American citizens want them out and European citizens want them out…. Then it should happen quickly…. Only caveat is Europe has to buy the bases off of us, or we blow them up on the way out

American media discovering Europeans are not in any way upset to see US troops leaving is very funny to watch.

@Billofrights9 @oneleftshoe @Electroversenet And at some point, they’re going to have battery fires there like we have only theirs are much larger farms. We really need better tech for batteries in mass.

@oneleftshoe @Electroversenet China increasing solar and storage exponentially. By 2030 they’ll generate more solar power only than USA total energy consumption

@TukiFromKL Out of curiosity, did any of the dead people contribute to their party of affiliation? Seems an easy way to institute fraud and launder some money.

34,000 dead people on North Carolina's voter rolls.. and everyone's screaming fraud.. These aren't people who died in North Carolina.. the state already removes those weekly through its health department.. these are people who registered in NC.. moved to a different state.. died there.. and NC had no idea.. because America runs 50 separate voter systems that don't talk to each other... fifty states, fifty databases nd completely zero sync.. Visa knows you're dead within 48 hours.. your bank freezes your account before the funeral.. but the system that runs American democracy can't share a spreadsheet across state lines.. every time someone proposes a national voter database both parties kill it.. Republicans call it federal overreach.. Democrats call it voter suppression.. and the dead stay registered.. the only fraud is convincing 330 million people this is the best system the richest country on earth can build

@omgsidewalks In our case there was too much inequity. Some people HAD to come to work. Logistics and technical support, that required both managers and janitorial staff to come in as well. So for a long while people stayed home, some work got done but there was zero metrics to measure it.

We actually had an incredible opportunity to make remote work the global standard, and we blew it. What really happened? Why did so many companies go back to the office?

@ick_real Those were Breakfast dinners. Zero vegetables but big stack of pancakes and sausage on a big electric griddle.

Did anyone else have “fend for yourself” nights growing up? When mom just didn’t feel like cooking and let everyone figure out their own dinner ??

@RealAssPig @alex_libertybtc @BitcoinSapiens Still bigger than my first apt. 😁

@alex_libertybtc @BitcoinSapiens And he can live in the Bitcoin for 30 years!

a friend’s boomer parents bought their home for $67,000 in 1993. Today, it’s worth ~$1,200,000 and he’s their only son so he thought he’d be a millionaire when they die but they just sold the house last week to enjoy their retirement 💀

@miles_commodore I remember when a guy like this got things done in his position. Find common sense, middle ground solutions, make deals over dinner and finally make policy everyone could benefit from. Sadly we’re not in that time anymore.

How do you feel about this guy?

@RL9631 @MJKlesi @jnottah Lot of loud bang sticks for one guy with an acoustic stick.

@MJKlesi @jnottah Question is… How many cops do you need to take down a guy with a stick?😂

🚨Dramatic takedown in downtown San Diego. A 25-year-old parking attendant was sitting on an electrical box near the Tailgate Padres Parking lot when 20-year-old Lathapoun Keovongsa approached and struck him multiple times in the head with a wooden cane - an unprovoked attack. The victim suffered lacerations and was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. Officers later located attacker, but he refused to listen to police commands and non-lethal rounds had no effect. The K9 was deployed, and he reportedly struck the dog multiple times. The K9 bit him on the arm, allowing officers to take him into custody. Charges include assault with a deadly weapon, resisting arrest, and harming a police dog.

@LashellsP94979 @DisrespectedThe I saw that in Men in Black. He was an alien species named Ballchinean.

@DisrespectedThe This one has a mask malfunction and grew balls on his chin 🙄 it was obvious if you were paying attention.

I'm seeing a lot of rumbling about an alleged Biden body double who's came forward and turned States witness. Apparently for the last 2 years this person has been impersonating Joe Biden and standing in his place for media. Is there any truth to this?

@n_chris42746 @nickshirleyy Do we have any tracking of those kickbacks? Like who exactly was profiting from the waste of our tax dollars?

@nickshirleyy I couldn’t understand when Musk was doing DOGE looking for government waste and fraud why Democrats were going crazy over it. Did they really support waste and fraud? Now I finally understand. They were getting kickbacks the whole time.

Journalism that creates real world change. BOOM. For months and months MSM and politicians tried to debunk the fraud scandals in Minnesota, investigating me rather than the people committing the fraud. Guess what? It was all true. EXPOSE THEM ALL

@ianrichardsonco @gatlin_didier @grannybibbins Coders gonna code after Ai replaces them. Might as well go White Hat for the people!

@gatlin_didier @grannybibbins I can't believe this is where we are at. Well, I know a bunch of hackers who are about to become truck mechanics.

When a tornado hits in 2027…👀

@SteCK1878 @WesternLensman There’s no Mason Dixon line in this one though. Every state is mixed politically. California is largely ruled by Democrats but only a couple of big city areas with big populations keep it that way. Gerrymandering out the folks in the north or rural areas is not going to help.

@WesternLensman We’re headed for a break up of the union. There’s no coexisting with these people. 😡

In wake of SCOTUS ruling on racial gerrymandering, Dem Rep. Terri Sewell says she’d like to see Republican seats wiped out in CA and IL: "I'd take 52 seats from California and 17 seats from Illinois."

@ThrillaRilla369 @MmisterNobody Pretty much. No one in my family can cook a turkey besides me. When I’m cooked, holidays are going to be take out affairs. 😂

Is it true that once the glue which holds the family together passes away, family gatherings aren't the same anymore?

@albertus3M @brivael There’s also the fact that certain Pokemon cards are very rare and very valuable. The cards themselves carry no value inherently. I’d take three shiny, rare cards over 50 regular cards. How does that value factor in?

@brivael C’est une analyse intéressante, à ceci près qu’elle oublie que dans la vraie vie, celui qui n’a que trois cartes pokémon vit dans la misère. Toute société éthique doit donc avoir des mécanismes de redistribution en plus de favoriser l’entreprenariat.

Elon Musk avait dit un truc qui m'avait marqué sur l'allocation de ressources. En substance : passé un certain niveau de richesse, l'argent n'est plus de la consommation, c'est de l'allocation de capital. Cette phrase change tout. L'économie, dans le fond, c'est juste un problème d'allocation. Tu as des ressources finies et des usages infinis. Qui décide où va quoi ? Imagine une cour de récré. 100 enfants, des paquets de cartes Pokémon distribués au hasard. Tu laisses faire. Très vite, un ordre émerge. Les bons joueurs accumulent les cartes rares, les collectionneurs trient, les négociateurs trouvent des deals. Personne n'a planifié. Et pourtant chaque carte finit dans les mains de celui qui en tire le plus de valeur. Le système maximise le bonheur total de la cour. C'est ça, la main invisible. Maintenant fais entrer la maîtresse. Elle trouve ça injuste. Léo a 50 cartes, Tom en a 3. Elle confisque, redistribue, impose l'égalité. Trois effets immédiats. Les bons joueurs arrêtent de jouer, à quoi bon. Les mauvais n'ont plus de raison de progresser, ils auront leur part. Les échanges s'effondrent. La cour est égale, et morte. Elle a maximisé l'égalité, elle a détruit le bonheur. Le problème de la maîtresse, c'est qu'elle ne peut pas avoir l'information que la cour avait collectivement. C'est le problème du calcul économique de Mises, formulé en 1920. L'URSS a essayé de le résoudre pendant 70 ans avec le Gosplan. Résultat : pénuries, queues, effondrement. Pas parce que les Soviétiques étaient bêtes, parce que le problème est mathématiquement insoluble en mode centralisé. Quand Musk a 200 milliards, il ne les consomme pas, il les alloue. SpaceX, Starlink, Neuralink, xAI. Chaque dollar est un pari sur le futur. Et lui a un track record. PayPal, Tesla, SpaceX. Il a démontré qu'il sait identifier des problèmes immenses et y allouer des ressources avec un rendement spectaculaire. L'État aussi a un track record. Hôpitaux qui s'effondrent, éducation qui décline, dette qui explose, services publics qui se dégradent malgré des budgets en hausse constante. Le marché identifie les bons allocateurs, la politique identifie les bons communicants. Le profit n'est pas une finalité, c'est un signal. Il dit : tu as alloué des ressources rares vers un usage que les gens valorisent suffisamment pour payer. Plus le profit est gros, plus la création de valeur est grande. Quand Starlink est rentable, ça veut dire que des millions de gens dans des zones rurales ont enfin internet. Quand un ministère est en déficit, ça veut dire qu'il consomme plus qu'il ne produit. L'un crée, l'autre détruit, et on appelle ça redistribution. Dans nos sociétés il y a deux catégories d'acteurs. Les entrepreneurs et les bureaucrates. L'entrepreneur prend un risque personnel pour identifier un problème, mobiliser des ressources, créer une solution. S'il se trompe il perd. S'il a raison, ses clients gagnent, ses employés gagnent, ses fournisseurs gagnent, l'État collecte des impôts. Il est la cellule de base du progrès humain. Le bureaucrate ne prend aucun risque personnel. Son salaire est garanti. Au mieux il maintient une rente existante. Au pire il la détruit par excès de réglementation, mauvaise allocation forcée, incitations perverses qui découragent ceux qui produisent. Mais dans aucun cas il ne crée. Regarde les 50 dernières années. iPhone, internet civil, SpaceX, Tesla, Google, Amazon, Stripe, mRNA, ChatGPT. Toutes des inventions privées, portées par des entrepreneurs, financées par du capital risque. Pas un seul ministère n'a inventé quoi que ce soit qui ait changé ta vie au quotidien. La France est devenue le laboratoire mondial de la dérive bureaucratique. 57% du PIB en dépenses publiques, record absolu. Une administration tentaculaire, une fiscalité qui pénalise la création de richesse. Résultat : décrochage face aux États-Unis, à l'Allemagne, à la Suisse. Fuite des cerveaux. Désindustrialisation. Dette qui explose. Et le pire c'est que la mauvaise allocation s'auto-renforce. Plus l'État prélève, moins les entrepreneurs créent. Moins ils créent, moins il y a de base fiscale. Plus l'État s'endette et taxe. Boucle de rétroaction négative parfaite. La maîtresse pense qu'elle aide, et chaque année la cour produit moins. Dans nos sociétés, ce sont les entrepreneurs, toujours, qui font avancer la civilisation. Les bureaucrates au mieux maintiennent une rente, au pire la détruisent. Aucune société n'a jamais progressé en taxant ses créateurs pour subventionner ses gestionnaires. La question n'est jamais qui a combien. C'est qui alloue le mieux la prochaine unité de ressource pour maximiser le futur de l'humanité. La réponse depuis 200 ans n'a jamais changé. Ce ne sont pas les fonctionnaires.
