“GLP-1s help you lose weight but you only keep the weight off if you keep taking the GLP-1.” They’ve created a “be skinny” subscription. Absolute dream business model. They’re going to make infinity dollars.

@swinshi Well if you look at it per capita and years of life lost I think we lose. Even when you take out suicides too. Heat deaths are mostly old people.

@mattyglesias Isn’t it worth differentiating between monopolies and monopolizing? Sometimes monopolies are good for the consumer. It’s nice to get a variety of cheap stuff all in one place like Walmart and Amazon.

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.
Shay Boloor@StockSavvyShay

Jeff Bezos said the bottom half of Americans should pay zero federal income tax. He cited a nurse in Queens making ~$75K and paying ~$12K in taxes saying “we shouldn’t be asking this nurse in Queens to send money to Washington.”

@ewarren And a single data center can out produce 10,000,000+ human workers while contributing massive local property tax revenue. 🤷🏻‍♂️

A single AI data center uses as much electricity as 100,000 households—and utility companies are passing the upgrade costs to you, not to the trillion-dollar tech giants. I've opened an investigation. These companies need to pay their costs.

@Ike_Saul It’s amazing how many bad things the left did that Trump has essentially justified by doing them himself.

@erinhengel @GarettJones Would saving 10.1% a year instead of 10% make up the difference? Doesn’t seem like such a big deal.

It's probably time to fully computer chip Illinois. The Supreme Court and Republicans want *no* limits on gerrymandering? Alright. The worst district here was still Harris +9.7, it would reliably return 17D-0R.

Accurate cartoon. In my polling, almost 6% of people said they picked the wrong button when they were prompted about it. Assume the global error rate is higher and kids' responses are random, and easily 1-in-6 to 1-in-5 hit blue by mistake. So, if red wins, society is ruined.
Jason Boone@shadowe_wolfe

@TheCartoonLoon That's not even close to accurate.

@SwipeWright There is something particularly distasteful about this celebration though given its location. The place God obliterated for its sinfulness. Most famously for its sexual immorality.

Regardless of your personal views on Pride events, if you had to choose between living in one of two hypothetical countries you knew nothing about except that one had Pride events and the other had none, you would almost certainly prefer living in the country with Pride events.

@scottlincicome Does this chart imply that there are no manufacturers who had a positive thing to say about them?

It remains baffling that there's less mainstream pushback against the common claim that tariffs are broadly "pro-manufacturing" when most US manufacturers keep saying they don't want them.

@cremieuxrecueil A perfect example of why populism hurts the people they property to help. All the average schmo thinks is “why should I have to pay taxes on something I already paid for?”

I can hate this! The property tax is one of the best taxes on the books and it's pro-family to boot. Property taxes are capitalized into the cost of homes, making it easier to purchase them for young people looking to start families. Plus, they're efficient. Triple them!
Grant Cardone@GrantCardone

🚨 DONALD TRUMP DEMANDS ‘NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES!’ You can’t hate this! President Trump launches national revolution to abolish property taxes which would result in the most powerful economic expansion in U.S. history.

I don't like braggadocious talk about this sort of thing, but we seem to have killed 7,000 Iranian troops and lost 15 people (albeit largely due to armor: 600 hurt). Iran's entire senior leadership is dead. Their nuke program is gone. This is all being quite openly discussed, in real, "gray net" spaces. We should push harder on the Strait, but what does "they won" logically mean?

America is the first country in over two centuries to lose a war to Iran, thanks to Trump

Gummi@gummibear737

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem). This has been explained over and over since day one. Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying. The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea. During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul. Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb. The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability. So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon. And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world. Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage. Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions. This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot

Incredible. The Code Pink/Hasan crew flew 1st class to Cuba to lecture people re how Communism is actually great and all their struggles are because of America. They were already being ridiculed for staying in a 5-star hotel. Now the power grid has gone out for everyone else.
Agustín Antonetti@agusantonetti

Estas son imágenes exclusivas que me llegan desde Cuba. En pleno apagón nacional, el hotel en donde está hospedado Pablo Iglesias junto al resto de la comitiva de invitados VIP de la dictadura cubana es el ÚNICO PUNTO DEL PAÍS con electricidad en estos momentos. Hay un operativo de seguridad protegiéndolos por temor a que las protestas se puedan dirigir a este lugar.
