@MattH_4America This is OBVIOUSLY false. Most under 45 don't believe this because they know it's false.

For most Americans under the age of 45, the American Dream is dead To everyone over the age of 60, married, with 3 kids, 6 grandkids, and a home that is paid for, just understand this: Your country will radically change in the next 10-15 years because no one is listening to us

@KennethRWebster So it is your contention that the 2 authors of this study don't understand economics?

This just flat out isn't true. Blue states had substantially more draconian lockdowns than most of Europe. Europe also had *much* better vaccine policy while, here in the US, the Biden admin told YouTube to censor videos of US scientists saying that we should follow European recommendations
Jason Furman@jasonfurman

I agree with these. But am curious how it compares to Europe. They had much, much more draconian lockdowns. But did they not have the same vacillation and hypocrisy that we had? Is the backlash more or less there than here? Pointers to writing on this most welcome.

The No Kings protests exemplify the limits of the language ready to hand in American public life. Thousands of people are trying to articulate the political crisis enveloping them using the serialized words of liberalism, without a critical grammar to think or act beyond it.

@ChrisMartzWX Okay, so they will install battery backups. The technology is getting cheaper by the day. Many datacenters are partly powered by solar already.

Putting some solar panels on your roof is one thing. If you live in a sunny area, it may work. But using them to power an industrialized economy is a whole different ballgame. Countries located above 35°N or below 35°S aren’t going to be able to use solar without installing astronomical and highly expensive battery backup systems or fossil fuel units. Ask yourself why these AI data centers are using natural gas and nuclear to power their operations, not solar. You will find your answer, pea brain.
IAmJacksBrain@jahras73

@ChrisMartzWX Tell me how the solar I put on my roof which has a 8yr payback and a net savings of $40k over its life is a scam. Paid cash. I'll wait.

I see mostly zombified masses who take issue only with the cosmetics of their Empire, all while remaining dominated by their elites.
Trump is the worst president ever, yes. But any other US politician would simply continue pursuing the same agenda, just dressed up in nicer language.
The system is rigged. As long as they don’t challenge the system itself, they will be fooled over and over. As long as they refuse to address the roots of the problem>>>> the class struggle, US imperialism, their pedophile-Epstein elites >>> then it will remain nothing but COSMETICS. Trump is not the issue, he is emblematic of a sick society and a system of control that has brainwashed people into believing this is democracy. Being anti-Trump is not enough, it is the system that needs to be changed.
Record GBA@RecordGBA

Large protests against Trump took place across major US cities, marking the third wave of “No Kings” rallies. #Trump #NoKings

If Kamala and Walz had won the election I’m not sure I’d be allowed to speak my opinions here on X as I do now. And I’m not sure I’d be free to march in the streets to protest her. No exaggeration.

@barneyxbt What are you talking about? Trump was unpopular, but fortunately him his opponent was even more unpopular. There hasn't been a "loved" presidential candidate for a long time.

trump went from being one of the most loved and promising presidential candidates in modern history to having less than a 30% approval rating in his first year. that has to be some kind of record this man had the entire country behind him. republicans loved him. independents gave him a shot. even some democrats were quietly rooting for change. he had the mandate, the momentum, and a country desperate for someone to actually deliver and he fumbled it so hard that the majority of the people who voted for him are now sitting there in silence wondering what happened. no new wars became a war. drain the swamp became the swamp with new members. america first became israel first the amount of goodwill this man had and how quickly he burned through it is actually unbelievable. you had everything handed to you on a silver platter and this is what you did with it even his biggest supporters can’t defend what’s happening anymore. they just go quiet and change the subject. that tells you everything

Trump: I hang out with losers because it makes be feel better. I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success.

@shockwaved91117 @Barchart It means banks had a lot of interest rate risk when rates spiked in 2022 and it's been steadily improving ever since even though rates haven't returned to pre-pandemic levels.

Southern Chestnut 🐣🐰
Nearly every single Southerner I know has a story like this, hit by an immigrant or an illegal in the last five years. Some have been injured, most lost their cars and the drivers who hit them rarely have insurance. This is becoming a SERIOUS problem.
Southern Mama@SouthernMB82

I received a copy of the crash report. Officials ruled the woman who ran the red light and hit me yesterday is 100% at fault. The woman was also cited for running the red light. Initially, I assumed she was a teenager given her behavior and appearance. However, she is a 21-year-old recent college graduate who works in healthcare and lives at home. In her free time, she likes to post videos on social media of her driving while entertaining followers. I hope she changes her behavior moving forward. Luckily, my daughter and I weren’t seriously injured, but that outcome could have very well been different. In my post yesterday, I brought up her heritage. People called me names, while others understood my position. Her background matters. Based on my research, her parents either immigrated here when she was a baby or just before she was born. Despite the fact her parents have been here for a long time, they still struggled to speak English while at the scene. They have also failed to adopt Southern manners. Neither she nor her parents displayed an ounce of concern over my daughter and me. In fact, they acted bothered with me — like it was my fault I was on the road when she decided to run the red light. Their sheer hubris was infuriating! Just like so many other immigrants who have come here over the past 30 years, this woman’s entire online persona is about her homeland. She posts in her homeland’s language more often than in English. She displays her homeland’s flag in her bios. Her friend group comprises other women from her homeland. For all intent and purposes, she does not identify as an American. A woman from an incompatible culture who hasn’t truly assimilated and wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for the Hart-Celler Act has negatively impacted my Heritage American family due to her recklessness. She caused roughly $8K in damage to my car. My insurance company is in the process of determining whether it will be totaled. If they decide to total my car, her actions will result in my family losing a car 4 months before it’s paid off 2 years early. Any amount paid out for the car won’t cover the full cost of a new-to-us used car. The possibility of having a car payment again when we just paid off my husband’s car last fall and almost have mine paid off makes me physically ill. We have been working hard to be in a stronger financial position to buy land — the same land that now costs much more due to transplants and foreigners invading the South. If my car is totaled and we aren’t able to find a replacement with the insurance money, we may very well have to take out a loan to cover the difference. That outcome would result in us having much less money to put into savings for land. All of this is happening while we budget to cover another tuition increase at my daughter’s private Christian school — a school we send her to because the schools she is zoned for have been over-run with foreigners and kids from less than stellar families who have been pushed out of places like Antioch and East Nashville due to carpetbaggers. This is also happening at a time when the company my husband works for has not given any raises in three years and all but halted internal promotions while also relying on H-1B visas more and more. My husband, a white Marine Corps veteran in his mid-40s, returned to school this spring to improve his credentials so that he has more to offer than his H-1B visa counterparts — the same foreign counterparts who most likely have fake diplomas and trumped up resumes, given recent news stories. Combine all these factors and it’s easy to see why I would bring up her heritage. I don’t care if people call me names. I care that nothing in my life has improved with mass immigration. This entire situation is just one more example of how Heritage Americans have been hurt by mass immigration in ways not easily found on a Cato Institute spreadsheet.

Tech Layoff Tracker
Tech Layoff Tracker@TechLayoffLover·
Four-year degree from a solid state school, 3.76 GPA, $127k in federal loans, graduated last Friday 632 applications since March. 14 phone screens. 3 technical interviews. Zero offers. The last hiring manager was honest: "We eliminated our new grad program. Two L7s with Claude Enterprise handle what 6 junior engineers used to do." His algorithms professor is still posting on LinkedIn about the "massive demand for software engineers" Career services keeps sending him links to bootcamp partnerships and "AI prompt engineering certificates" His dad asks every Sunday dinner when he's going to "get a real job" like his finance major roommate who got hired in February Student loan payments start in 60 days The entry-level roles that still exist require 2-3 years experience and pay $78k in cities where rent starts at $2,400 He's watching TikToks of kids his age making $200k at Google while he updates his resume for retail management positions Last week he applied to be a coding bootcamp instructor They told him he's overqualified but they'd consider him for their "student success coordinator" role at $42k His browser history is just variations of "computer science degree worthless 2026" and "how to defer student loans" The most brutal part? His younger brother is a sophomore CS major and keeps asking if he should switch majors He tells him yes every time

People are so confused about this tweet, so let me elaborate. Yes, AI will eventually create art that is as good or even better than humans. But, humans will not care for it, beside an initial curiosity, because art is not about art. It’s about the humans who created it and their stories. Art it’s an exploration of human limits. Humans are fundamentally not interested in what other species do, think or feel. How many people watch AI play chess?

To hire an H-1B worker, companies must sign a federal form saying they can't find qualified Americans. We pulled 15 years of filings. Analyzed the top 5. 314,100 times they said no Americans available. 99,000 times they fired Americans. Signed under oath. Exposed by data.

Official Layoff@LayoffAI

Amazon: 30,000 Americans laid off. 12,000 H-1B visas approved. Same window. Meta: 16,000 out. 5,000 visas in. Microsoft: 3,426 out. 5,000 visas in. AI is taking the jobs. And the ones AI doesn’t take, they’re offshoring. This is accelerating rapidly before our eyes.

Seattle and Bellevue are about as close to a natural experiment in economics as you could get, akin to North Korea and South Korea. The reason Seattle is in decay, while Bellevue is thriving is simple: bad policy and Seattle's incompetent socialist leadership.
Buildhomez🌐@buildhomez

Unlike most other major US cities Seattle/Bellevue have competing downtowns that are close together, cover a similar labor market, in separate cities, with good transit access. So when Seattle does something businesses don't like, they really can just move
