The GOAT of big government reform.

@JohnRileyPoway @MarcoFoster_ @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani @ReallyAmerican1 LA County is spending $36,000 a student a year. its not teachers its administrators that eating most of that up. But the proposal to just not tax the first $100,000 is actually brilliant it just doesn't fit the "take other peoples stuff" narrative.

@MarcoFoster_ @NYCMayor @ZohranKMamdani @ReallyAmerican1 New York City is already paying $44,000 per student per year for K-12 public education. That's roughly 4x what CA spends on education. NYC doesn't have a revenue problem. More money will not meaningfully change the outcome in NYC.

Q: Jeff Bezos said that him paying more in taxes wouldn’t help a teacher in Queens. What would you say to Jeff Bezos? Zohran Mamdani: “I know a few teachers in Queens who would beg to differ. We’re talking about some of the wealthiest people in the world and what we’re asking is for them to pay their fair share. If we had people who are making more money than we can even imagine just in the time they’re taking to share those opinions paying their fair share, we would have a different city to call home”

California has collected nearly $1 billion in taxes to provide solar panels for low-income housing projects. But state officials have raided this fund and sent millions to radical left-wing nonprofits and "defund the police" activists. This is Gavin Newsom's solar scam.

@Create_Profit nope

I have no idea how options work but I want to short $MU. It had a generational run, but I honestly think it cools off a bit. Is this a good idea?

August 1, 2000: OPPS implemented CMS formally implemented OPPS in 2000. This institutionalized: Separate hospital outpatient “facility” reimbursement Ambulatory Payment Classifications (APCs) Higher payments for Hospital Outpatient Departments (HOPDs) Under this structure: A hospital outpatient clinic could bill: the physician professional fee a separate hospital facility fee An independent physician office generally could bill only one combined office-based fee. With this incentive in place the government was basically saying doctors should be employed or controlled by Hospitals

@realdocspeaks It started way before COVID; when Hospitals were allowed to bill 2-3x for the same procedure done in a doctor office. Place of Service price neutrality is the answer.

Yes, that is the narrative that is being pushed, but it is wrong. There has been a constant anti-physician narrative for decades; this is nothing new. The reality is that the doctors were on the front lines during Covid, risking their and their family's lives, and those criticizing us were cowering in their parents' basement.

Sam Altman reveals why he no longer believes universal basic income is the answer to AI "I used to be really excited about universal basic income, where you just give everybody money. I still am kind of excited about that. But I think people really need agency" "If you just say AI is going to do everything and everybody gets a dividend, it's not going to feel good, and I don't think it would actually be good for people" "I don't just want a check every month. What I'd want is an ownership share in whatever the AI creates, so I feel like I'm participating in this thing that's going to compound and get more valuable over time" "So I sort of like universal basic wealth better than universal basic income"

@MillennialRisk sitting on 100,000 shares of $fnma and a 100,000 shares of $fmcc. it will happen eventually.

checking in on my fellow $FNMA $FMCC holders

@ParkerPonders @oceanpointranch Its owned by a Mormon family the Marquis. I guarantee this idiot is gone. They own Pacifica Hotels which is a collection of exclusive real estate assets on the California coast.

@oceanpointranch Did you fire that employee that was bullying the Jewish couple? I am in absolute shock. I have stayed there before. Who hired that person????

We gained an hour of daylight, which means more time to be outside and explore.☀️Cambria offers plenty of fun and attractions just minutes from Oceanpoint Ranch. What is your favorite spot to explore when visiting Cambria?

@YourAnonNews First those people qualify for Medicaid. We already have universal healthcare for the poor and elderly. its a not minimal wage its taxes. Just make it so your first $100,000 is not taxed.

There's a group of people in the USA who make less than $40,000 a year, and they consistently rally against raising the minimum wage because they think it would destroy the economy. They also rally against universal health care too. That's Stockholm Syndrome in a nutshell.

@SinNomb54107159 @zachtratar I agree but we have already crossed that bridge

@zachtratar No no no. Everyone has to pay taxes. Absolutely everyone. They should feel the decisions made by our government so they can have a better understanding of how well their expenditures are being utilized.

People who make under $65k per year should pay 0% income tax. It’s absurd we ask them to pay anything at all.

@zachtratar make it a $100,000 its only 3% of tax; give them an opportunity to build

@pmarca we have had more blackouts in the last yeat than we have had in the last 10 and thats not a story. Californias energy grid is failing and its not because of data centers

Can other people see this, or is it just me?

wow. thats why

@DutchRojas pretty accurate

California’s Medicaid model is brutally simple: Rename social spending as healthcare. Attach vendors. Add credentials. Route the money through managed care. Collect the federal match. Accuse critics of cruelty. Repeat next budget cycle. That is how the invoice becomes untouchable.

Everyone needs to stop calling the Democrats the Democratic Party. It’s propaganda marketing. In reality Democrat leaders hate democracy. They didn’t even let their voters vote for the Dem nominee in 2024. Newsom is promising to stop voters from electing a Republican governor in CA. The list goes on and on. The nicest thing we should be willing to call them is Democrats or the Democrat Party but there’s much worse we should be calling their leaders, like: crime accelerators, criminal lovers, gender confused, anti-American, hedonists, degenerate enablers, liars, thieves, communists, etc. Stop doing them the favor of pretending that they care about being democratic. They care about power and advancing leftism at all costs.

Why does the California news @KTLA cover up or refuse to report the ever increasing blackouts and brownouts?

@BernieSanders Reminder to all that follows Bernie. You're Maine and thus irrelevant.

A great turnout in Portland, Maine. The people of Maine and all across the country are saying NO to oligarchy, NO to authoritarianism and NO to endless wars. Graham and Troy will take on the billionaire class and fight for a disappearing middle class.  Thank you, Maine!

@CynicalPublius @ConceptualJames He will quickly be forgotten

He does not think he can win the Presidency. But he does think he can split the GOP vote in 2028 and hand the Presidency to a Democrat. And he will do it out of spite.

@ruthefordml You haven't seen me with Lawyers. Quantum anything might as well be philosophy so its all argument. Physics, chemistry and math are the only undisputed sciences. Everything else is not really science.

Healthcare is probably the only profession where people think it's okay to argue what the professionals on what they know. Nobody argues quantum physics with physicists, or law with lawyers. But everyone is an expert in healthcare.

@ofcrdeonjoseph He is full of shit a la Ted Lieu

What’s stopping him from reading it now?
