Washington Gov. Bob Ferguson signed a 9.9% tax on income over $1 million and MASSIVE businesses like Boeing and Starbucks are relocating/expanding elsewhere amid concerns over taxes, costs, and regulations
Literally no one wants to live in a Blue State anymore 😭
Their policies are destroying their States!

@Real_Ames is this California ???? where you can defecate in the street and shoot drugs right? but all companies worth more than 130 million have left

So let me get this straight…
A public beach sign now says “NO MAGA HATS”?
Since when do government spaces get to pick which political views are allowed?
Imagine the outrage if it said “NO Biden hats” or “NO Obama hats.”
It wouldn’t last 10 minutes.
Free speech either applies to everyone… or it’s not free at all. 🇺🇸

All signs point to Reilly Smith as the player coming out of the lineup for Karlsson to return.
There were not line rushes because it's an optional morning skate but here's what I'm expecting.

This road crew had a hose bust on their truck which resulted in asphalt sealant being sprayed on homeowners cars, houses and sidewalks.
You can see them frantically trying to clean it off with water but it doesn’t look like it is doing much to help.
I would have cleaned the newer car off first. 😂
You can see those guys were stressed! 💯
Could you imagine coming home to this? Who pays for those cars and houses? The company hired by the city or the city?

GO WOKE GO BROKE B!TCH!
Garth Brooks says he's "all done trying" to rejuvenate his career after losing nearly his entire fan base to the Bud Light controversy.
"I should have kept my mouth shut," he told Rolling Stone, "Calling my fans a-holes was a huge mistake."
Brooks lost his Vegas residency, found himself canceled from country tours across the country, and dropped from the number 4 country artist in the world to number 62.
"It's time to check out and find my pasture."

There is a viral social media movement to buy Spirit Airlines
This is a movement to nationalize Spirit Airlines and make it owned by the people
The movement has grown so large it’s crashed the donation website after instantly taking over $88 million dollars
“I had a genius idea. Spirit Airlines just went bankrupt, right. I'm the guy that flew Spirit Airlines for 24 hours straight.
There's more than 250 million individuals over the age of 18 in the United States. Now, if we took only 20% of them and paid basically the average fare of a Spirit Airlines flight, which is somewhere around $30 to $40, we could buy Spirit Airlines. This is a genius idea. We nationalize Spirit Airlines owned by the people. — Let's buy an airline”
It’s LetsBuySpirit. com (with it a space)
This is NOT an endorsement of any kind, this is reporting on what’s happening. I have no made any donations or have not been involved with this in any way

Las Vegas, Nevada
Francine Maric goes head to head with a blackjack dealer, she occupies all five places in the pit, betting $10 K, $2000 at each position, going ahead to head her odds are
1:73…if the dealer throws herself a weak up card (doesn’t) the odds change dramatically, she came fully prepared to do this as many times necessary until she wins.
WINNER she was the one out of 73 on the first round of blackjack…I wish I had that kind of luck.☘️

@MrPool_QQ We called it Operation Kuwaiti Freedom it was 1990-91. Same thing

🔻 PROJECT FREEDOM BEGINS TOMORROW.
Last night, Trump posted one sentence on Truth Social that shook every intelligence agency on Earth:
**"The United States will guide ships from neutral and innocent countries out of the Strait of Hormuz, starting Monday."**
65 days. That's how long Iran held the world's most critical waterway hostage. **40% of global oil passes through Hormuz.** Hundreds of ships trapped. Crews starving. Two vessels hit by projectiles this week.
Iran called it a ceasefire violation. Trump didn't respond.
He named it **PROJECT FREEDOM.**
Here's what CNN won't tell you.
There are **3 vessels in that strait that don't carry oil.** They carry physical gold bullion — **$38 billion worth** — transferred from Saudi Arabia and the UAE to the U.S. Treasury under a classified agreement signed in March.
That gold is not for Fort Knox. **It's for the QFS reserve ledger.**
The Quantum Financial System cannot activate without verified physical backing. Digital currency without gold is just another fiat scam. Trump knows this. The Saudis know this.
Iran didn't block Hormuz to fight America. **Iran blocked Hormuz because someone told them what was on those ships.**
Think about it. 65 days of blockade. The entire global economy strangled. Oil at record highs. And Trump waited. Patiently. Until the Navy was in position. Until the escort route was secured. Until **every submarine in the Fifth Fleet was between those ships and the Iranian coast.**
Tomorrow morning, those ships move.
**When the gold arrives at the U.S. Treasury — the QFS ledger locks.** TIER 4B notifications begin within 72 hours of confirmation.
This was never about oil. This was never about Iran. This was about **moving the gold that backs YOUR wealth** from one side of the world to the other — under military escort.
**May 5. Watch the ships. Watch the markets. Watch your inbox.**

A WOMAN AT A US AIRPORT CHUGGED AN ENTIRE 750ML BOTTLE OF TEQUILA RATHER THAN THROW IT AWAY AT SECURITY.
x.com/AlertaNews24/s…
> TSA tells her the Don Julio has to go
> she refuses to toss it
> opens the bottle on the spot
> drinks the entire thing in front of the security officer
> gulp after gulp
> 750ml. 40% alcohol. gone.
> feels like she won
> then the tequila hits
> staggers through the terminal
> misses her flight
> gets denied boarding
> saved a $30 bottle of tequila
> lost a flight ticket worth hundreds
The TSA was going to throw away her tequila.
She threw away her entire day instead.

So, Spirit air, gone. Delta, canceling hundreds of flights because of no crews. Gas is the highest it's ever been and confirmed to only get worse. All infrastructure bills have been paused or gutted, and about 45% of Americans have no access to public transportation at all. Really sounds like they are trying to keep us here against our will. 15 minute cities incoming.

@anishmoonka Carvana is just Carmax for people with better credit
English

Carvana made about $6,800 in profit on every car they sold last quarter. The typical used car dealer makes around $1,500. Carvana makes four times as much because the car is just the start of what they sell you.
About 85 out of every 100 Carvana buyers finance the car through Carvana. At CarMax, their biggest competitor, the same number is closer to 40. When you click "finance" on Carvana's website, they write the loan at one interest rate, then sell that loan to a bank or pension fund within days. They keep the gap between what you pay and what the bank pays them. That gap, multiplied across hundreds of thousands of buyers, is how they print money.
Then come the add-ons. An extended warranty. Coverage that pays off your loan if the car gets totaled. An insurance referral to Root, a digital car insurance company Carvana owns a piece of. Each one stacks on top of the same checkout. The car is the bait. The loan is the meal. Everything else is dessert.
This is why selling them your car at a price that felt too generous still works for them. The money they make on that trade-in shows up later, after the next buyer signs. They clean it up, sell it to someone else, and that someone else signs another Carvana loan.
This is also why they aren't going anywhere. In May 2022 they bought ADESA, a used car auction company, for $2.2 billion. ADESA came with 56 auction yards across the US. Now Carvana owns the auction yard, the body shop that fixes the car up, the trucks that deliver it, and the lender that funds the next buyer. Every step of that car's journey happens inside something Carvana owns.
Three years ago none of this looked like it would survive. Carvana's stock hit $3.55 in December 2022. They had over $5.7 billion in debt. The market thought they were going bankrupt. Then Apollo, a giant private equity firm, led a deal with their lenders that cut $1.2 billion of debt and pushed the deadlines out to 2028.
Last quarter they sold 187,000 cars and made $405 million in profit in 90 days. They joined the S&P 500 in December. Their market cap sits near $84 billion. Bigger than Ford.
The whole business looks confusing if you think of Carvana as a car company. The math gets simple once you see them as a lender that happens to deliver cars.

Sold a car to Carvana today and I have no idea how they stay in business. Inexplicable.

Two major American airlines are in crisis today — one permanently and one mysteriously.
Spirit Airlines announced the immediate suspension of all operations on Saturday, May 2, canceling every scheduled flight and shutting down customer service entirely after negotiations between the airline, its bondholders and federal officials collapsed. Simultaneously, Delta Air Lines — once considered the gold standard of American aviation reliability — has been canceling hundreds of flights over the past two days while its rivals operate without disruption.
The juxtaposition is striking. Delta's cancellation rate today sits at approximately 6%, putting it nearly on par with Spirit ... a carrier that no longer exists. American Airlines, United and Southwest are each canceling effectively zero flights.
Why Are There So Many Delta Cancellations?
The cause of Delta's meltdown is, by all accounts, unclear. Weather conditions are largely good across the country. There are no reported technology issues. Aviation watchdog JonNYC, who has been tracking the situation closely, has confirmed that reports of pilots calling out sick en masse do not check out, ruling out what would have been the most obvious explanation.
What does appear to be happening is an internal crew scheduling breakdown. Sources suggest a delayed snowball effect from weather earlier in the week may have disrupted pilot sequences, forcing scheduling teams to rebuild trips from scratch. The problem is being compounded by significant turnover in Delta's scheduling department, with a number of new and inexperienced staff now handling what's known in the industry as irregular operations recovery.
