@CMoorhead84 @GreentextWizard So fucking true, onions are one of the cheapest foods in the grocery store and are absolutely delicious raw/cooked. Bell pepper, lettuce, radish, effing eggplant the list doesn't end, cheap and 🤤

@GreentextWizard People say shit like this all the time as if vegetables arent cheap as fuck. Poor people don't eat junk because they're poor, they eat it because they're stupid.

@LinkedInLunat1c There is a reason she cropped out most of the picture. Refrigerator mode. She works in "fitness" lol

You all started it and we fucking finished it.
Ted Cruz@tedcruz
A brazen abuse of power & an insult to democracy. 47% of VA voted Trump. They will now get just 9% of the seats. 52% of VA voters voted Harris. Now they get 91% of the seats. (By comparison, in TX, 56% voted Trump; GOP gets 79% of the seats.)

suggest some Sandisk equivalent stock pick for the next 12 months?
Hedgeye@Hedgeye
A $25,000 investment in Sandisk one year ago would be $1,061,115 today.

@A_Colker @SyryloChad @ScottJenningsKY Arthur's Tweets get zero engagement, he's just upset he pays for Twitter and gets no likes 🤡
English

@SyryloChad @ScottJenningsKY We don't want to do this but the GOP is forcing our hand - that's the big deal - but the point here is it is not a slam dunk outcome for each side and it would be best for everyone to agree to non-partisan maps nationally.

If, and thats a big if, Elon is right, the economy will be 10x or more in the next 10 years. That is 26% economy growth. And sometimes, he spoke about maybe possible tripple digit growth.
Reduce by current standards the UBH to say 100k per year, and it would work out in his scenario by your numbers.
If his prediction is true, we have a growth far far higher then anytime in history. Common sense dosnt apply then, because common sense was formed in time of comparable very slow growth.
English

Elon promises a "Universal High Income" for everyone. Let's suppose that means $10K per month for 100 million Americans.
Here's the math:
100 million people × $10,000/month × 12 months = $12 trillion per year.
To put that in context, total federal spending in fiscal year 2024 was roughly $6.75 trillion, and total federal revenue was about $4.9 trillion. So this single program would cost nearly twice the entire existing federal budget and about 2.5× all federal tax revenue. It would roughly triple total government spending overnight.
U.S. GDP is roughly $29 trillion. A $12 trillion UBI program would equal about 41% of total GDP -- being directed as cash transfers to a subset of the population. For comparison, all current federal transfer payments (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, veterans' benefits, etc.) combined run around $4–5 trillion.
The M2 money supply (cash, checking deposits, savings, money market funds) sits at roughly $21–22 trillion. If the program were funded by money creation rather than taxes, injecting $12 trillion per year would expand M2 by roughly 55% in the first year alone. Even if a portion were funded through taxation (which just redistributes existing money), the sheer scale makes it nearly impossible to fund without massive monetary expansion.
The inflationary pressure would be enormous, for a few reinforcing reasons:
First, demand-side shock -- putting $10,000/month into 100 million hands would massively increase consumer spending, but the economy's productive capacity (factories, housing, workers, supply chains) can't scale anywhere near that fast. When far more dollars chase roughly the same quantity of goods, prices spike.
Second, labor supply contraction -- $120,000/year tax-free would exceed the median U.S. household income (~$80,000). Many workers would reduce hours or exit the workforce entirely, shrinking the supply side at the exact moment demand is surging. That's a double squeeze on prices.
Third, velocity effects -- lower-income recipients tend to spend transfer income quickly, so the velocity of money would increase, amplifying the inflationary effect beyond what the raw money supply numbers suggest.
A rough (and conservative) estimate: mainstream quantity-theory-of-money reasoning would suggest that a 55% expansion in money supply, combined with rising velocity and falling output, could produce annual inflation well into the double digits -- plausibly 30–50%+ in the first year or two, potentially accelerating into a hyperinflationary spiral if sustained. Historical parallels (Weimar Germany, Zimbabwe, Venezuela) all involved governments printing money at scales far smaller relative to GDP, and still produced catastrophic inflation.
So no, Elon doesn't understand economics. And yes, a "Universal High Income" would quickly lead to hyperinflation and currency collapsing, thrusting almost everyone into extreme poverty.

@babycosanostra @RealPostFolder Won't work, she wants the horse meat ding dong

@RealPostFolder This will get really ugly! I’ve been through this before, she’ll eventually go full psycho on you. The guy needs to figure out how to turn her off and give her the “ick”.
English

>Be the guy
>Email, not call, email HR tonight if possible. Let them know about this and tell them that you do not want to make a formal complaint but you want to at the minimum get this on record.
>Tell her that the comments are making you uncomfortable and to please stop. (Only say that do not go into any details or anything, don't explain how you are happily married or anything, just say that)
>She continues; go to HR and make a formal complaint
(Handled many situations like this and they get messy)

@bonchieredstate Sure they’re unreliable, but if some of them say, it was within 2% some of them say it’s with in 5 you’re telling me that it’s likely that they’re off by more than 7% points than that. Maybe she didn’t win by 9% even if she won by 7% you’re off.

Met a guy recently. Just retired at 63.
$2M saved. House paid off. Zero debt. Did everything right for 30 years.
Claimed Social Security early. Started pulling $110,000 a year from his IRA. Nobody told him those two decisions would collide.
85% of his Social Security is now taxable. His bracket jumped. Tax bill his first year of retirement was bigger than when he had a paycheck.
And in two years when he hits 65 and goes on Medicare, IRMAA kicks in and his premiums spike on top of it.
His advisor never saw it coming.
Who was supposed to catch that?
