Communists use video from a privately-run park with private security paid for by private vendors and claim it as a victory of socialists. I can’t tell if they’re really this dumb, or they just think you are.

Another terrifying day in Socialist, Communist Mamdanistan apparently! Bryant Park, New York City

@SaraLJaffray @JohnMappin All of you fake legal experts are useless. The hearing is essentially irrelevant. Of course the judge will find probable cause.
The only part that matters is the full trial where all the evidence will be presented.
An opinion about this hearing is nonsense.

Here is a list of sellouts who flat out LIED about the video they saw in court. Make sure you unfollow and stop supporting fed sloppers! @JohnMappin summed it up perfectly with class like he always does! Let me know if I need to add anyone!

@50LibtardedIQ @danishacarterr lol. Facts don’t care about your feelings. Republicans always bankrupt the nation.
English
@danishacarterr Oh, you mean all the people who warned in 2020 that shutting down the economy and paying out trillions for people to sit on their asses would increase inflation and the price of everything were right?
Huh... Oh sorry, yeah, yeah, continue your low-IQ" but Republicans" rant.

no idea how republicans bamboozled so many people into thinking they were the “good with money” party but LOL

US Veterans' Benefits payments as a % of Total US Defense Department spend, 1959-present.
Veterans' Benefits now a record 27% of DoD spend (and ~8% of total US Federal receipts), rising far faster than both DoD spend & Federal receipts.

@_Lin_inc Why can’t an 80 year old just file bankruptcy? I mean he’s 80. Like why does he need credit? It’s not like he’s getting a home loan either way. 🤷

Caller: “ I have a net worth of about $3 million and my Dad has asked for $55,000 to pay his debt. What should i do?”
Caller: My 80 year old father is asking my husband and me for $55,000 to pay off his credit card and car loan debt.
Dave: What’s your financial situation?
Carla: We’re retired, debt free, net worth between $2 and $3 million but we’re on a fixed income and would have to dip into retirement accounts to do it.
Dave: And your husband’s position?
Carla: He’s firmly against it. But my dad is very persuasive and I feel guilty saying no.
Dave: Carla, the answer is no. You have no moral, ethical, or biblical obligation to fund your father’s bad financial habits especially when manipulation is part of how he’s asking.
Carla: But he’s 80 and he’s my dad.
Dave: Being your dad doesn’t give him the right to your retirement. And “no” is a complete sentence. Don’t give him an encyclopedia of reasons, he’ll debate every one. Be brief, be gentle, and be firm.
Carla: What can I offer instead?
Dave: Gift him Financial Peace University. Give him the tools to help himself. That’s generous without enabling the pattern.

@hyperbQrea This kick out your kid crowd is for the poors. The wealthy understand the value of building generational wealth by raising larger families and working together to thrive.

My grandfather did this to my dad and my dad didn't let him move in with him when he got old. He fell out of bed in his apartment, couldn't get help, and wasn't discovered for weeks until someone complained about the smell.

Kick Your Kids Out of the House at 18 There was never a question that I would be leaving home at 18. My parents did help me with college, and I came home on the weekends a lot my freshman year, but much less so as time went on. When I got out of college, moving home wasn't an option. My parents didn't want me there, and I would have been ashamed to mooch off them. Instead, I got a crap job, got roommates, and started making it on my own while driving a barely functional car my parents got me in high school. Did I visit? Did I ask for advice? Did I get some help from my parents here and there? Absolutely. But you're not really an adult living your own life until you're out of your parents' house. "Oh, but it's tougher today...." No, it's not. Early on, my jobs sucked. I always had roommates. I had very little money. It was not fun, but I sucked it up and made it work. That doesn't make me exceptional; it just means I was doing what an adult was expected to do. One way or the other, kids shouldn't be staying with their parents through their mid-twenties. They need to get out on their own, make their own way, and forge their own identity as something other than Mama and Daddy's little boy or girl.

My thesis on dishwashers: why you should have either 0 or 2 at home, because 1 is utterly useless
I think the longest-standing fight between my wife and me is about the utility and usefulness of a dishwasher. I think dishwashers are the most useless appliances on Earth; obviously, she loves ours.
My argument is super simple: if there are fewer than three people at home, adults, not kids, you are better off, by pretty much any metric, washing the dishes by hand. To me, the whole process of pre-washing them, putting them inside the dishwasher, and then taking them out, sometimes still drying them, and putting them back on the shelves is utterly ridiculous and defeats the whole purpose.
I just hate having to take them out the next day and put them back on the shelves. I would rather wash everything by hand in 10 minutes and get it over with.
Over time, though, I have slowly realized that what my wife really hates is having dirty dishes in sight. She just hates it: the smell, the way they look, everything.
So I have come to this conclusion: you should either own 0 dishwashers or 2. Having 1 makes no sense.
Why 2?
You start loading one dishwasher until it is full. Once you turn it on, you start using the second one. When the first one is clean, you simply take the clean dishes directly from it, effectively using the dishwasher as their storage place. Once the second one is full, you run it and start using the first one again.
This really solves both problems: you never have to leave dirty dishes in the sink, but at the same time, you never have to take all the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and put them away.

@MaryBiever @LaurenMilberger Plus the Bard was a great businessman. He created the Shareholder model and also owned the land/theaters.

@LaurenMilberger As Shakespeare did in the Globe so the front rows laughed too.

When I write comedy, I always remember the Cheers rule: don't underestimate your audience, use “ highfalutin” jokes or material, but always follow them up with a “low” joke, then everyone is laughing.
Also, I learned way more from sitcoms in the 80s/90 than school 🤣

There’s an episode from Cheers where Frasier and another guy are quoting from Richard II and Cyrano de Bergerac. 34 million Americans watched this episode.

@LaurenMilberger Plus in the 80-90s you watched it because it was on.
Today the audience has unlimited options and distractions.

@DietCoke_Esq 😂 people don’t understand that justice in America is slow. But hey why not get some billable hours out of your cranky client? 😜
English
If you haven’t gotten an update from your attorney in 2.5 days (including the weekend) because court hasn’t done anything yet on a motion filed on Thursday, definitely send a strongly worded AI generated email reminding them of their professional duties to keep client informed and demand that they call the court ASAP. The attorney will definitely call the court to “demand the judge review the motion ASAP.” The court will for sure comply with such demands. That’s how it works. Follow me for more hacks!!

@Owennfa All those businesses were corpses before PE got near them. They all died from 10-20 years of bad board/CEO decisions and industry changes, not because they were perfectly fine up until PE bought the debt.

Steal value. Destroy lives. Walk away rich.
And everyone calls it business.

@daltonleepruitt Historically accurate? It’s a myth tale that’s been handed down through the oral tradition. It’s art not history.
English
The Odyssey isn’t historically accurate because Christopher Nolan is in the business of making shit that looks cool, not teaching history. You might be confusing a filmmaker for a historian because you are stupid.

@mtgreenee The US is a service based economy and will not go back to a manufacturing based economy. It’s just the nature of an advanced economy. People want to be podcasters and knowledge workers not widget builders.
