I spend my time thinking about how I can turn real money into valuable time with my family and on personal growth

You are part of a group of people who are mostly rational who are forced to take a private vote by pressing a red button or pressing a blue button. If more than 50% push the blue button, everyone lives. Otherwise, only people who pushed the red button live. Which button would you press? Be honest.

@DerrickEvans4WV What do you mean "fight back"?
Texas started this shitfest, this is all just being mad because your target retaliated.

Look at these two maps of Florida.
First one is the CURRENT congressional map. Republicans already hold 20 seats to Democrats’ 8.
Second one is Governor Ron DeSantis’s brand-new proposed map released yesterday.
If passed, it would flip multiple blue districts deep red and give Republicans up to 4 MORE seats.
Florida would be a 24R–4D POWERHOUSE.
Florida is officially a deep-red state with over 1.5 million more registered Republicans than Democrats and massive population growth in conservative areas.
THIS is how you fight back.
Do you think Florida will actually get it passed?

@Rich2Hall @TONYxTWO 120 per 100 so 1.2 per capita...which they could have portrayed in the same way.

@CalvinGregory70 @TheOnlyThel The ballroom isn't our money...he funded that through donors.
English
@TheOnlyThel He's spending OUR money on illegal wars, illegal ballrooms & fixing things that aren't broken, all the while slapping his name on every historical thing he can. He started an illegal war w/Iran, bombing their leaders & schoolchildren, he doesn't have the time for these projects

Heaven protect me, I am gonna get into politics, but
Why is this a bad thing? Is it just cause Trump is doing it?
Seth Abramson@SethAbramson
I say again... *grotesque*. The Trumpist enshittification of America continues. This is what a formerly beautiful D.C. landmark will soon look like:

@XrpThe52077 @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse That is why they dispatched Asheesh Birla to start Evernorth and seeded it along with SBI.
English
@JohnDLaneIV @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse And yet the price has been stagnant for years. If ripple wanted to, they could find a way to do more with xrp. They don’t. Cause I think they recognize they have already pushed it to far using xrp as a crutch to grow ripple as a whole. They have moved on to stable coins
English
Hey @JoelKatz how do you square this with James Wallis talking about Ripple working with close to 30 central banks?
He claims:
5 announced
5 unannounced
20 in conversation

Wow thank you for the clarity @JoelKatz

@XrpThe52077 @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse agreed. Ripple has what 35B XRP? They will buy a lot more companies if XRP was $10 vs $1.
English
@JohnDLaneIV @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse he sure did. cause without XRP he would NEVER be able to have acquired all those businesses.
English
@XrpThe52077 @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse And Brad has said XRP is the center focus of Ripple.
English
@JohnDLaneIV @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse what has grown in the last few years? Ripple? YUP! XRP? Nope
English
@unknowDLT Great point. It is disengenious to the community to deny that having Rosie Rios on the board is a nothing burger. (one of many examples)
English
Let’s remember that Ripple’s staff is full of people from U.S. government agencies. I don’t understand why, David. It’s true that some theories are exaggerated, but the fact is that the U.S. government and several other countries are working closely with Ripple.
To deny this is to lie.
David 'JoelKatz' Schwartz@JoelKatz
No, I'm saying there are lots of secrets. Many of Ripple's partners insist on NDAs to keep their business secret. I'm saying the conspiracy theories that constantly claim something big is about to happen or that the government is going to do something massive are almost always going to be completely false and if you're investing time, money, or emotion based on them, you're fooling yourself.

@TheStingisBack It is a top 3 movie of Denzel, who I consider the Greatest actor of my lifetime.
English
Honestly had no idea people disliked Man on Fire (released OTD in 2004).
I get it: the editing’s frenetic and Tony Scott shoots every scene like it's a car chase, but a 39% RT rating is nuts. It’s one of the most Denzel Denzel movies ever. What am I missing?
English
@XrpThe52077 @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse Read it again. Chris has commented about the liquidity of XRP (do you know what price XRP has to be to be that liquid?...I don't... but it is not $1.40). Brad is in the room with all of those entities. Again that is not normal.
English
@JohnDLaneIV @xrpmickle @JoelKatz @chrislarsensf @bgarlinghouse Brad has NEVER speculated on Price and barely speculated on adoption levels. He has only stated that XRP will play a role in Ripple's business model. His statements are vague at best.
English
I am not arguing with @JoelKatz I am pointing out that his former bosses have said multiple times that XRP will be as liquid as a G10 currency @chrislarsensf and are constantly in the room with the IMF, WEF, WH, Congress, Fed and many of the Fortune 500 @bgarlinghouse . That is not normal.
English
@xrpmickle @JoelKatz imagine being a professional XRP shill and arguing with @JoelKatz about the realities of XRP's future
English
It is really hard not to look at the companies in the room and not come to the conclusion that there are deals being made behind closed doors. Saudi Aramco, Exxon, X/Tesla/XAi/Space X, Amazon, Microsoft, Coinbase, Meta, Ripple, Nvidia, Blackrock, JPM (the list goes on)...all show up at the WH (or WH goes to them) and Congress constantly. Something is up.

Sad I could only listen to half of the space but this was golden! @JoelKatz either ended things or everything will get more spicy from here.
Stole the clip from @Pheanor589, cheers mate!

@TheDunkCentral @timkawakami Stott should be the HC if Kerr Retires. Iggy can one of the Assistants along with Stack.

Andre Iguodala is a name to monitor as a potential replacement if Steve Kerr steps down from the Golden State Warriors, per @timkawakami

The nuclear threat is real.
Even the UN and 60 Minutes admit it!
They say Iran has enough uranium, "if you enrich it a little bit more, for 10-11 nuclear bombs."
"They have always claimed... 'We were never pursuing nuclear weapons.' That's a lie."

Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47
60 MINUTES: Iran still has nearly 1,000 pounds of highly-enriched uranium — "enough material, if you enrich it just a little bit more, for 10-11 nuclear bombs." "Iran has been lying about its nuclear weapons effort for over 20 years now."

@DefiantLs Wasn't that the whole point of moving from calling people fat to calling them obese?
