@MAGAMAHACindy Because lies? I guess you can be last on earthto figure it out

I voted for President Trump three times, and I’d gladly do so again.
That said, I have a sincere, question about something I’m genuinely trying to understand.
If the U.S. is energy independent, why are gas prices spiking again? They are getting close to the highs we saw under Biden?
I know tensions with Iran are playing a role right now, but I thought energy independence was supposed to shield us from these kinds of swings.
Can someone explain what’s driving this? I’m not here to criticize Trump, just looking for a clear explanation. Thanks.

@ThunderCJackson @sbjosh02 @Nirgal451 1% . What if business operated on say a 10% profit margin. Now how much is it ? Just 1% right no big deal

It's absolutely insane that the government of Canada is not sounding the alarm on the dire economical situation that the country is in. We are in a worse state of affairs than the 2008 collapse.
There are no jobs, people are losing their jobs and their homes. The housing market is flooded with dwellings that can't sell. People can barely afford food; their savings are drained and credit card debt is piling up - yet the BOC is keeping the interest rate at 2.25%. So many people are broke and dependent on government subsidies!
It's crushing what they've done. The media won't even call it a recession (it's basically a depression at this point) because everything has become political.
This country is so cooked.

@DividendBreeder What are these significant upgrades. I've been in multiple new Toyota recently and all I saw was a giant pointless touchscreen
English

I used to be a “drive your car into the ground” type of guy, but after buying a 2025 Toyota Sienna last year, my mindset changed.
And I’ve done both.
You spend a TON of time in your car. And new cars are a significant upgrade in convenience, comfortability, amenities, and safety.
You feel and experience it almost daily.
Already looking to upgrade our other family vehicle.
NOTE: I paid cash for the Sienna and have never had a car payment. If you can’t afford to pay cash, my thought process changes on this.

My Honda is 9 years old. It’s been paid off for 5 years. It has over 100,000 miles on it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it but the itch to upgrade is strong 😂

@nobrainflip Copy paste bs. Investment strategies remain as always .
What they really mean is "where's the next get rich quick scam guys "

If you’re under 30, I genuinely don’t know what the “safe” life path is anymore.
Buy stocks? S&P is at ATHs.
Buy gold? Near ATHs.
Save cash? Dollar gets cooked.
Buy a house? Housing market is cooked.
Buy bonds? Barely beating inflation.
At this point, crypto is one of the only not overpriced places left

@ProvoGal01 @big_dog87 @EcoFashionByBG @fordnation @elonmusk Imagine counting "followers " while complaining about bots. 90% of Twitter is bots lol

@big_dog87 @JO3Canada @EcoFashionByBG @fordnation @elonmusk 15 years.
You can't count.
You have 116 followers in 15 years.
You may want to realize that perhaps your opinion doesn't resonate...with anyone.

Hey @fordnation
I escaped your hellhole of Ontario for greener pastures in Alberta.
The first thing I noticed, Danielle Smith doesn't dictate to her citizens what they can drink.
I get to have my California wines again!

@PeterMcCormack This dude definitely says " noone wants to work anymore " several times per week 😆

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses.
I’ll explain for the economically illiterate.
Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add:
- 12.07% holiday
- Sick pay
- Maternity pay if and when required
- National insurance
- Pension contributions
These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up.
Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t.
Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics.
Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs.
There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay.
So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost.
Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes.
The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

The Greens will raise the minimum wage to £15 for all workers 💪

The burger is the cleanest example of why nutrition isn't addition.
You can eat a head of lettuce, a tomato, half an onion, and a slice of cheese across three hours and your body handles them. Stack them inside two buns with a beef patty and eat the whole thing in three minutes, and your bloodstream sees something it cannot regulate.
Glycemic load is the first problem. A white bun has a glycemic index around 75. Pure sugar is 100. Blood glucose spikes within 15 minutes, insulin floods in to clear it, and that insulin signal tells every fat cell in your body to open its doors. The 20g of fat from the patty and cheese gets escorted into storage. Eaten alone, that fat oxidizes for energy. Paired with a refined carb, it gets stored.
Caloric density is the second. A Big Mac is 590 calories, 33g of fat, 1010mg of sodium. The lettuce, tomato, and onion contribute roughly 15 of those calories. The bun and cheese alone carry half the load. Your stomach registers volume, not calories, which is why you can finish 600 calories in three minutes and still order fries.
Then the patty. Ground beef cooked at 350°F produces advanced glycation end products and heterocyclic amines. The same beef poached at 180°F has a fraction of these compounds. The "healthy ingredient" stays identical. The cooking method rewrites the chemistry.
A plate with the same beef, cheese, vegetables, and a slice of bread on the side is roughly 450 calories. Takes 15 minutes to eat. Keeps you full for four hours.
Same atoms. Different physics.

What’s this logic 😭?

@rachaelbereba Most people appreciate some feedback when they are new and its a great way to meet new members. Ignore this advice

@ProvoGal01 @EcoFashionByBG @fordnation Laws govern every single aspect of your life. Pretending otherwise is childish
English

@EcoFashionByBG @fordnation I haven't been told what to do since the age of 18.
I'll be dammed if I let some politician(s) make life decisions for me.
That goes from what I drink, to what gets injected in my body.

@WallStreetApes My experience is going in the app, ordering then showing up at the time indicated while watching customers in line get their orders faster

Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9
He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee
“In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.”
He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience”
How out of touch could a person possibly be…

@T800s_Batcave @toylan20 @BowTiedDolphin No, no. Im speaking about recovery rate. If you have a decent cardio your breathing will recover quick

@JO3Canada @toylan20 @BowTiedDolphin I don't understand. While waiting for your heart rate and breathing to lower...you'd do cardio?
