@MiniRetireMatt That's your opinion, but I don't think many of those attorneys would trade spots. If you are providing for a family who depends on your income, you take the $250k...and it's "not even close".

The teacher making $125k per year, with 3 months of PTO, and 35 hour work weeks Is better off than... The attorney making $250k per year, with 1-2 weeks of PTO, and 60+ hour work weeks It's not even close

@Venable4VA Voting "yes" is taking control away from the voters...and you know it. You can't get 91% representation out of a 52-48 state unless the politicians are controlling who votes where to enable their chosen outcome, and you know that.

They keep saying “Vote NO.” but can’t explain why politicians should keep control instead of voters. I’ll take Virginia voters over political insiders every time. It’s called choice! Vote YES.

Free trade is simple: both parties walk away better off. That's what made America great. Limited government, low taxes, balanced budgets, and leaving people alone to make their own decisions.

@ShaunMcKnight It's a terrible product, I get it.

I don’t know why, but I just can’t get into the NBA… and I don’t think I’ve watched a full game on TV in about 5 years. Basketball was my favorite sport most of my life.

@ChrisLeeGoCocks @GamecockFB @CoachSBeamer You're against progress? In that case we should join Conf USA.

@GamecockFB @CoachSBeamer As does the alienation of lots of loyal and long time fans

The work continues 🤙

@Tim_Walz Less than your bribes to the Somali fraudsters you pay out from money you steal from the taxpayers.

So how much will the Trump family make in the stock market tomorrow morning?

@anathemadeviced @yvessirae Oh so paying almost all the income tax isn’t good enough for you? Now you want tax existing assets? You want to tax peoples loans? Good God, you people never stop.

@Mike1Moran @yvessirae You're completely ignoring, assets, stocks, and borrowing against portfolios. propublica.org/article/the-se…

"You're just jealous of rich people" no I'm angry that a man with 12 vacation homes is paying less in taxes than a nurse

No one said anything about caring about the people. You can have deep empathy for the people who are impacted in the short term, but also understand that companies making efficient labor decisions is vital for the company’s long term competitiveness and for the economy as a whole.

@Mike1Moran @Heccles94 People caring about 8,000 people who are about to lose their jobs isn't what's 'wrong with society'.

His net worth is over $200,000,000,000 and he is making 8,000 people redundant. This is what’s wrong with society.

You’ve obviously never had a real service job…because that’s not “how that works”. At all.

@anathemadeviced @yvessirae Look at facts, not a 20 year old anecdote:

@Mike1Moran @yvessirae According to actual wealthy person Warren Buffett, he pays less in taxes as a percentage of his income than his secretary does.

@PostDisclosure If you want to see what happens when you provide UBI, look at our inner city public housing areas…that’s the case study. Your idealistic thoughts that great things will replace the pursuit of profit for survival and beyond is just not based on any reality.

Being against UBI is totally fine. But so many of the arguments people make against it insult my intelligence. For example, the idea that if people aren't forced to work, they will lose all meaning. Many people dislike their jobs so much that they would trade working just to survive for the possibilities downtime opens up. Since when do we find meaning in doing something we despise? Has work for survival become our new idol? What about spiritual work, reading and studying, teaching, family time, growing food, working out, enjoying hobbies, and so forth? I'd flip this whole conversation—the fact that so many people think work is the primary source of meaning is a bigger problem than people having the option not to work. And UBI wouldn’t make working impossible; it just means people could be much more selective about what kind of work they do. That’s freedom and agency at its best.

@ChaseDenton_ Do you want your private salary published too?

I sure wish NCAA would make all college NIL money paid to players public for everyone to see. To me it’s different to harp on someone getting paid $0 while another in the position next to them is getting $500k. Fans would root for the underdogs more. College players aren’t kids.

@JakeRammos Progressive taxation

What is that huge scam in your country that has been normalised?

@zuess05 From the next generation AI. Don’t pigeon hole yourself into a technical field or you’ll be lost.

Honest question. Companies have completely stopped hiring entry-level juniors because Claude does the grunt work for $20 a month. But if nobody ever gets hired as a junior... Where do the next generation of Senior engineers come from?

@theficouple It’s hard to make the argument that that’s what’s “needed”, since it’s far above the median in each location. Your definition of what’s “needed” is just made up.

Income needed for a family of 4: 1. Massachusetts: $313,747 2. Hawaii: $294,362 3. Connecticut: $290,368 4. California: $287,456 5. New Jersey: $282,714 …maybe this is why people aren’t rushing to have kids.

@BernieSanders No.

CEOs of large corporations now make more than 350 times what the average worker earns. San Francisco’s Prop D will tax billion-dollar corporations that pay their CEOs outrageous salaries to fund essential services devastated by Donald Trump’s funding cuts. Vote yes on Prop D.

What we need is for the government to stay out of it. You only make problems worse. Stay far away.

@Bunny_ngl I’d feel like Castro.

How would you feel about a new law that forces every company to pay their CEO no more than 20x what their lowest paid employee makes?
