@Fat_Electrician You're right. A kid should make just as much as a doctor if he works hard. Why should it matter if he has no skills, training, life experience, education, anything at all marketable. Give him whatever he wants because... you say it's right...????
English
I fucking hate the “minimum wage is for high schoolers” talking point.
A. No it isn’t, that’s historically inaccurate.
B. Telling a kid to work hard and earn money the “right” way, then turning around and saying he deserves less just because of his age is bullshit.
Pay should be based on performance. Nothing else.
If you’re against raising the minimum wage, that’s fine. Make a better argument that isn’t belittling kids trying to work hard and earn something for themselves.

@Fat_Electrician I've said forever even as a dem rather than straight adding new taxes we need to just close most of the stupid loopholes before anything.
English
Hey, remember that time we implemented income tax only for the top 3% of Americans? Then it applied to everyone, and the top 3% hired accountants to use loopholes to avoid it. And it to this day fucks everyone else? History repeats itself, thats issue.

Ok, Jamie: Let me clear things up for you. If my 5% wealth tax on billionaires was enacted you’d owe $135 million more in taxes & a family of 4 making $150,000 or less would receive a $12,000 payment. Oh, and you’d still be worth more than $2.5 billion. Seems pretty fair to me.

@theColtonBatts @LoneHillJazz @Noahdeekush @Liamjsm No... Git is pretty much just one very specific thing which is an open source version control system. It's literally the name of it

Lotta people using Claude to build software that already exists
Ryan Leachman@RG_Leachman
I asked Claude to build my daughter an app that plugs into our piano, can read live key strokes, can show her sheet notes and key view and ends with a Guitar Hero style game. All while giving progressively harder songs. Today she’s using It and crushing It.

My husband built bombs for the USAF for decades. I just showed him this.
I can’t share his response word for word for security reasons, but I can share this part:
“It’s retarded to think the US military at any given moment doesn’t have enough munitions to carry out a month-long war.”
Saagar Enjeti@esaagar
CSIS munitions expert Seth Jones: "the reality is neither Israel nor the United States have sufficient munitions, either offensive or defensive, for a war that really lasts weeks into months."
English
@Seth40514366377 @ItsGoneAwry Tbf no one is built for prolonged conflicts. It's always most damage first and how fast can you crank logistics and manufacturing to war time needs.
Maplewood, MN 🇺🇸 English
@ItsGoneAwry Soooo your husband knows better than all the security experts that have proven in research and national security experience that the us military isn’t built for long orolong conflicts, but rather blitzkrieg style warfare. I like internet clout

@Mbabazi_Lyn @yvessirae Yeah some of us ain't pieces of shit and our friends find it hilarious to embarrass us like this in front of our significant others

@yvessirae I hate to burst your bubble but your man is cheating and that friend of his is lying to keep you in check. He knows his women😢😢
But as long as you're happy chomi

FaceTiming my husband last night and his friend jumps in to say hi and goes, “I don’t think you understand how much this man loves you. It’s always ‘my wife this, my wife that.’ ‘I need to call my wife.’ ‘I’m talking to my wife.’ ‘My wife is the best.’ ‘She’s so cute.’ ‘I’m proud of my wife.’ He never shuts up about you.”
And I just sat there smiling, trying to hold it together because… I had no idea he talked about me like that.

Unpopular opinion about marriage that would get you in this position???

@Fat_Electrician I highly doubt that they will be abolished, property taxes pay for infrastructure and services that serve the community your property resides in. Perhaps lifetime caps or basing them on income of the primary resident and then a larger tax on sale/transfer of ownership.
English
Prediction:
Property taxes on paid-off homes will be abolished or dramatically reduced within 5–10 years.
Logic:
Democracy = most votes wins.
Largest voting bloc? Boomers.
Politicians cater to the largest bloc.
For years, boomers wanted home values to go up, so policies restricted new housing, driving up home values.
Now many Boomers are retiring on fixed incomes and struggling to afford property taxes on those inflated values.
Political pressure shifts: reduce or eliminate property taxes.
Government cant afford to do it for everyone, so they’ll just do it for “paid off homes” to make boomers happy.

@billbrextoncpa Tell me how often you buy new chairs. Those hm chairs last a decade of daily use in my experience.
English
Office manager requested 50 Herman Miller chairs.
$1,200 each.
She said back pain was hurting productivity.
I found ergonomic chairs with lumbar support for $300.
Better reviews.
She said Herman Miller is the industry standard.
I said industry standard sounds like code for overpriced.
She said people would notice the difference.
I said investors would notice $45,000.
We compromised on the $300 chairs.
Our industry standard is profitability.

Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.

Just wanna reiterate, the "Wholesome alternative" to Bad Bunny's spanish language performance was rapping (lip syncing, badly, apparently) about "topless dancers" and "G's with the 40's and the chicks with beepers."
Pack up your self-righteousness and take a hike, TPUSA, this is a bad, bad joke.
Blue Georgia@BlueGeorgia
Kid Rock's audio was out of sync in the TPUSA halftime show stream LMAOOO! What a complete disaster.

@PhilMackey @VinMan1006 He was slightly worse that he was with the Vikings last year and we didn't win with him so idk maybe the Seahawks are just better built and suit him better.

@otactk85 @maraudershields @JamesSurowiecki Also you still benefit by having less stupid ass kids In your neighborhood. Go learn Johnny and stop walking through my fucking yard.
English
@maraudershields @JamesSurowiecki Have also thought "I don't have kids in school" argument quite weak. Well, neither did the old people who still property taxes while your kids were in school.
English
I do not understand this common "I've paid off my home, so therefore I shouldn't have to pay property taxes" argument. Why should having a mortgage make you more liable for property taxes? People who have paid off their homes use city resources just like mortgageholders do.

My dad is 77 and lives on social security. He’s lived in the same house since 1993. It’s been paid off for two decades.Yet he owes $8k in property taxes, or the state of Colorado will take his home. This is criminal. @GovofCO

@AGPamBondi @JusticeATR @TheJusticeDept That's cool and all but really their fine is only a fraction of their gain? How tf do corporations always get such piddly little slaps on the wrist they basically paid 3.5m to make 12.5 m why would businesses not keep taking that exchange rate #soft

Today our Antitrust Division @JusticeATR announced a $1 million reward – the first of its kind from @TheJusticeDept -- for a whistleblower who reported bid-rigging on an online car auction platform.
This enabled us to dismantle a $16 million fraud scheme that was cheating American consumers.
Under President Trump’s leadership, we will continue to fight against corporate collusion and monopolistic behavior -- come forward and help us!

@vchen91745 @Jeri_Actual @crumpyss Because every time we have tried to even talk about normal common sense laws a few moronic loud pro 2A groups yell and scream about it being the end and refuse to even come to the table so you leave a few idiots to come up with what they think works and shove it all through

@FxyMonsterMorph @Jeri_Actual @crumpyss Why is it that every ultraviolet blue state (CA, NY, IL, MA, MD, HI, etc) has draconian gun control that go far beyond background checks? Why is it every time a state turns blue, they immediately start throwing on gun control?

I think I fell into the Upside Down. The left is arguing for Second Amendment rights, and many on the right are complaining about having two magazines, a threaded barrel, and a red dot being some type of "assassin" setup
