@rushicrypto Norway is a free market capitalist country with a generous social safety net. Oil and gas pays for that net. It is not socialist.

People love saying “socialism never works.” Then they point to Norway as one of the best places to live. Funny how they forget Norway has universal healthcare, free education, strong unions, and public ownership of its oil wealth. Maybe reality is more complicated than the slogan.

Let us know when you figure out how to change the past. Today, China emits more than the rest of the world combined, most if their power comes from coal, and you're trying to give them an excuse not to change. And the turnover time for CO2 is three years, not hundreds of thousands of years. Read more. Bullshit less.

Ich schätze nicht vielen Menschen ist bewusst, dass EUROPA weit mehr #CO2 emittiert hat als die USA. Was zählt ist nicht der jährliche Ausstoß, sondern der KUMULIERTE Wert. Den es dauert mehrere hunderttausende Jahre (!), bis das komplette CO2 aus der Atmosphäre verschwunden ist.

@NewYorker Bullshit.

Elon Musk’s cuts to U.S.A.I.D. led to some 700,000 deaths, according to Atul Gawande, a former leading administrator at the agency. Gawande, backed by recent academic studies, believes that the death toll will likely reach seven figures. The policy is not only immeasurably cruel, he argues; it is also stupid, badly undermining what remains of American soft power and prestige. Gawande explains the human cost of DOGE’s war on U.S.A.I.D.: newyorkermag.visitlink.me/H5AQWr

Perhaps you should connect the dots. Exactly one of these made his money from health care as a product. The rest made medical devices and drugs that are used all over the world. They are used because they work and are the best in the world. Their products are in no way linked to private health care at all.

The USA has no universal healthcare, but it does have 49 billionaires who made their wealth from private healthcare. Connect the dots, folks.

@fire_starter457 The real racists are Democrats. Minorities must remain on the Democrat plantation.

Dear Americans: MAGA is NOT patriotic. 
It's racist. There's a difference.

@itsblakexx Bullshit. Inflation remains less than half of what it was under Biden, and the current 4% rate is entirely due to the temporary energy bottleneck with the Iran war. Core inflation remains low. The housing market is less than 1% owned by "Wall Street".

The Fed is stuck. Inflation's roaring back, but they can't hike without torching the housing market that half of Wall Street owns. Heads they win, tails you lose.

@MasterMaliq Passover. Jesus was a Judaic Jew.

The Church's practice of bread and wine at the Last Supper looks like a ritual. What's the origin of it?

@ronsterd89 Avanti. Still a striking car.

Does anyone remember the name of this "car of the future?"

@ItsLulu_7 Capitalism is you owning your self, your skills, and your labor, to invest according to your enlightened self-interest. That's it. Other than freedom, it's not related to "democracy". China started to grow again when it made free-market reforms to its communism government.

Capitalism is designed for the rich and ruling elite

@Owennfa There is nothing wrong with private money buying assets as investments. There are many, many privately owned business that are doing very well. However, LBOs and asset stripping should be illegal, or at least very heavily regulated.

PRIVATE EQUITY DESTRUCTION: Toys R Us: 30,000 jobs lost Bed Bath & Beyond: 20,000 jobs lost Rite Aid: 10,000 jobs lost RadioShack: 8,000 jobs lost Payless ShoeSource: 22,000 jobs lost Sears: 175,000 jobs lost Dunkin': 10,000 wage cuts Burger King: 15,000 wage cuts TOTAL: 290,000+ JOBS DESTROYED Executives made billions. Workers lost everything. This is what private equity does. Steal value. Destroy lives. Walk away rich. And everyone calls it business.

@itsblakexx Private equity owns about 1% of American homes. Thanks for playing.

Private equity is on a buying spree this year: apartments, pharmacies, vet clinics. They don't build businesses. They extract the cash flow until there's nothing left.

@DarrigoMelanie So elect younger ones.

The average age of a US Senator is 64. The average age of a US House Rep is 58. The average voting-age American is 48. The average American is 39. These people squatting in seats for decades can’t accurately relate to, or represent, the needs of Americans, and waiting for them to pass in their seats isn’t a solution. We need term limits.

@MikeHudema Your graph and your statement are both lies. You actually know this.

Seven solar companies most people haven’t heard of, are ALREADY providing more energy for the global economy than Exxon, Chevron, Shell, and BP: buff.ly/76vzYlf We have the solutions. Time to dump the oil economy and implement them. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy

The English carry a heavy load in their role in slavery. However, Africans themselves captured and sold their slaves to Islamic Arabs, who traded them for more than a thousand years, and only a share went to the new world. In fact, there are millions of black Africans STILL enslaved in Muslim nations.

One of the first English slave ships sent to West Africa was named "Jesus." Not to spread the Gospel. To transport enslaved Africans. The irony is impossible to ignore. A ship bearing the name of the Prince of Peace carried human beings in chains across the Atlantic. History isn't always comfortable. But we should never forget it.

@jeremyct Your uncle lived in the same Somaliam mud hut you live in.

My uncle paid off his house in 2009. Called his kids over that night. Said he finally did it. Retired in 2021 thinking he was free. Property taxes were $4,800 a year when he bought. By 2023 they were $13,200. Fixed income. Social Security check of $1,600 a month. $1,100 of it going to property taxes alone. He held on as long as he could. Sold it last year. The house he paid off. The house he raised his kids in. The house he thought was finally his. Had to sell it not because he couldn’t afford the mortgage. There was no mortgage. Had to sell it because the government kept sending bills on something he already owned. He’s renting now at 71. After 40 years of working toward something he no longer has. You never really own anything in America. You just get a longer grace period than everyone else.

@JamieBonkiewicz I guess God help you when you finally depart this mortal coil. You're of the gaping flaming flavor of asshole.

If you don’t want people cracking jokes when you die, maybe don’t spend your life being a fucking asshole. It’s not that hard.

@Dark_Rift1 Yeah, we're getting hammered today.

Florida style thunderstorms

The Branch Climatians are ON It. They have recognized the strong correlation among sea level rise, wristwatches, shoes, and Pokemon merchandise. They are now burning shoe factories, hunting down Pokemon collectors, and requiring that we all go unshod. Yes, they all either flunked prop/stat or it wasn't included with those gender studies degrees. After sitting in a closed meeting with Saint Gretchen of the Revolving Stupidity, a petition was circulated to get her to put her shoes back on and to use lysol on her feet.

@DrNeenaJha There are strong correlations between sales of watches, shoes, and pokemon merchandise and sea level rise. So we must go barefoot, stop using timepieces, and dump Pokemon. Totally rational. If you flunked prob/stat or never took it like you.

“I don’t believe in Climate change” Climate change is scientific fact. Whether you choose to believe in it or not is completely irrelevant. EVERY PERSON ON THIS PLANET will be affected by climate change - you either have your eyes open or have buried your head in the sand.
