@NetworkDirecto1 @r_aunt2512 @WallStreetApes And? That isn't a reason to oppose it.

@r_aunt2512 @WallStreetApes Data centers dont creat that many jobs. It's actually very few permanent jobs once it's built..once it's up and running, it can be run on a skeleton crew

This is literally insane So many people showed up to oppose a $6 billion dollar data center in Missouri they had to use bleachers The whole crowd yells and chants they don’t want the data center Festus City Council voted to approve the data center anyway right in their faces

@NewsWatcherAlan @r_aunt2512 @WallStreetApes Ok, but why the hate? That isn't much different than a run of the mill warehouse.

@r_aunt2512 @WallStreetApes A 250,000 sq ft data center can run on 20-30 technicians. Even the Wall Street Journal said “The AI data center boom is a job creation bust” Feb 25, 2025.

@KirkLubimov Very similar to Sowell's two visions. Except the unconstrained vision doesn't say that people change in government -- there is an enlightened class of elites who should control the unreconstructed masses, for their own good, of course.

This is the best part from Pierre Poilievre appearance on the Diary of a CEO podcast; "Those who push a socialist ideology have a gross contradiction in their view of human nature. They say that human beings are wretched, self-interested, greedy when they’re in the private voluntary economy, but they’re angels when they’re in the governmental economy. They argue that the government should just control everything because then we have all these angels that will decide for us." 🎯

@TheSwoletariat_ @KirkLubimov It's an underlying view of human nature...not necessarily a conscious thought.

@KirkLubimov So Pierre has literally no idea what I think a single socialist has ever said or thought or written

Read this. They hunted this man for 10 years because he made this public. It all started with Kamala Harris.

@wil_da_beast630 1/3 SCHD, 1/3 SCHX, 1/3 intl stocks

What stocks would you buy/recommend right now, and why? I'm pretty good in the market myself, but we're doing a student investment event and I'm curious what the page says.

@JonahDispatch That's a defensible position.

My warm take on birthright citizenship: Wholly defensible to be against it as policy and wholly reasonable to want to reform it in some way. Also intellectually defensible to say that the 14th amendment is being misinterpreted. Doesn't mean I agree, but I don't think it's crazy either. But even if you win that argument, you still need to deal with century+ of precedent and statutory language that codifies it and has created massive reliance interests. I consider it an open question whether Congress can repeal or modify birthright citizenship. I think it is absolutely nuts and dangerous to think a president can repeal it through executive order, and defending the E.O. because you agree with the underlying policy is itself indefensible. That's it. That's my take.

@jdk0163 @InezFeltscher @ChristinaPushaw Is that after financial aid?

@InezFeltscher @ChristinaPushaw Father of high schooler looking at colleges: Villanova - +95k, Stevens Institute - +90k, Drexel - +90k (just to name a few we've looked at) GWU is not an outlier

Boomer Republicans: “just work your way through college like I did” Cost: $400,000k in four years. Sir, if you can pull that off at 18, you don’t need the degree.

9% of of all the babies born in the USA getting citizenship, based on either birth tourism - mostly from the CCP - or whose mother smuggled herself into this country illegally, is not ok and no way to secure a healthy future for Americans. If the Supreme Court doesn't restrict birthright citizenship, then Congress must -BEFORE the midterms. This is what the citizens of the United States want and require.

The Florida House needs to do its duty.

@CFC_Snipa @aragorn1523410 @TheICHpodcast 401k is the standard way to invest for most people, especially at first. If you don't have a work plan, you can set up an IRA.

Besides the point, he didn’t say anything about 401k, stop waffling Also incorrect - not everyone has access to a 401k, and most people with a 401k rarely ever go over the 6% match So you’re absolutely waffling Also the $1k change that you mention is roughly 20% of your monthly income on $69k annually You’re completely out of touch with reality

Kevin O’Leary reveals you’ll become a millionaire on $69,000/year by investing 20% of your paycheck each week👀 “Take 20% of your salary of $69,000 and put it into the market each week and don't touch it”

@ChrisMoore15915 @joelithic @TheICHpodcast You'll be better off even if you can only save 10-15%. It's a dial, not an on/off switch.

@joelithic @TheICHpodcast My point is, this whole exercise by O'Leary is dumb. He doesn't seem to understand what $69k actually affords ppl. I am not sure why you are trying to act like his idea is realistic.

@ChristinaPushaw @joelithic @TheICHpodcast Sure, living in DC -- one of the most expensive places in the country.

Housing cost is the issue. I used to make a salary close to that and lived in an old, 400sf studio with no amenities in DC and paid about $1400 a month, 8 years ago. The same units are now about $2000-- and that does not even include utilities or internet, which are a couple hundred $ a month extra and not mentioned in your budget. You can have some money left over to save at $69k a year, but probably not if you have children or live in a HCOL city.

@fredsoda @WildStallynz This is revealing. But it doesn't exactly mesh well with "blessed are the humble."

@WildStallynz status, money, power, networks, aesthetics

it’s just so embarrassing to see how little conservatives/right wingers understand about elite environments such as college admission genuinely they don’t know how outclassed they are by their opposition

It’s absolutely shocking and insane that the Senate thinks it’s acceptable to go on recess until April 13 when a federal agency of 260,000 has not been funded. This is waning days of the Republic type malfeasance. Force these geriatrics to fly back to DC and do the job. You simply do not leave until the job is done. We expect more from basically every other profession in this country. Why does Congress get rewarded for failing to do basic job requirements?

@T1NAT1DD1ES @MagnvsMimir @JoeyMannarino @wil_da_beast630 Ironic that neocons are in charge of this admin.

@MagnvsMimir @JoeyMannarino @wil_da_beast630 2016 was not 2020. Desantis ran against Trump and every neocon supported him. We saw desantis for what he really was.

I genuinely don't get the level of hostility/neutrality toward the competent, actually right-wing DeSantis.

@pegobry_en @wil_da_beast630 In temperament and stability, maybe. But policies weren't very different.

@wil_da_beast630 He ran as anti-Trump in 2024. I agree it’s partially unfair but it was also self-inflicted.

@GreenPlusAnE Doesn't look like there is a cited source for that chart in the paper.

Between 1980 and 2018, incomes for senior citizens grew about four times faster than incomes for younger workers.

@stevemagness It isn't too late to enforce accountability on that Olympic committee lawyer.

A few crazy things about this race and the climate at the time. -Melissa Bishop would have been a legend without the DSD athletes. Olympic Gold, World Champ, and a WC silver. -You'd talk to a lot of elite mid-distance women behind the scenes for years and they'd be pissed off, but afraid to get reamed in the media for doing so. Or just realizing that nothing would change. -Canada's head coach who was told after Bishop finished 4th at the Olympics by a lawyer for the Canadian Olympic committee "‘You say one thing about this, I’m going to make sure you’re banned for life in all sports.’” -Lyndsey Sharp did speak up and got torn apart in the media, so the fear was real. It was just a wild time. And many women lost a lot of money and glory because of it.

@Watchman_motto @OnKnockers Have you considered that maybe he is insane?

@OnKnockers You would think so, but you haven’t seen his piles of scrap lined up in the side yard, covered with tarps. Or the four broken down riding mowers next to his garage

I share about 100 yards of drive way with my ~70yr old neighbors. For some reason he’s obsessed with knocking down the center grass in the middle of the tire ruts and covering it with gravel. He talks about it all the time, probably 30% of all conversations I have with him are about this. He’s asking if I want to pitch in for more gravel, etc. When I put my parents in a guest house behind the barn, my dad started talking about it too. He got some roundup and sprayed his section of road. Am I missing something here? I see no problem with it. It looks fine. It occupies 0% of my mind. I’m prepared to spend 0 dollars to remedy this “problem” What is happening?
