Making a powerful and corrupt government ‘efficient’ might not turn out the way you hoped it would.

@matthewdmarsden Imagine trying to escape flood waters in central Texas, and your car won’t start due to it mis-reading your face, or a software crash.

This is a disaster.

@TRHLofficial Zero of my 4 kids got my green eyes. They did get blue from their mother.

How rare are you?

@MachineKing23 @waitbutwhy I’m glad you did this, saved me some time. 😂

@waitbutwhy Damn Math is Beautiful.

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

For those who didn't grow up privileged, name something you thought was luxury when you were a kid

@Matt_Pinner Disagree because sometimes other costs increase. I do think they should disclose the portion of rent covering property taxes. Many times that does drive up rent.

Do you agree ? Yes or No

Epic Fury is looking more like Epic Fumble.

@localchaos_ The prices on oil changes have skyrocketed since 2020. Dealerships will sometimes offer $30-$40 oil changes, because they want to get you in and sell you additional maintenance services.

Are oil changes supposed to be $100 or is that bc im a woman

@NickJFreitas Serious question. Are the 49% just going to lay down and accept the complete loss of representation in Virginia?

Democrats just voted to disenfranchise every part of the state that doesn't march lock step in agreement with them. This is the “our democracy” they speak of. One in which the rest of have no part to play except as a tax farm for their policies. Well…I refuse.

@C_3C_3 Both parties campaign on representation but, once elected, rule instead of represent their constituents.

Once you realize this everything makes sense… The Republicans are a party with real support and fake representation and the Democrats are a party with fake support and real representation. Facts.

@OwenShroyer1776 It’s population growth more than data centers, and been an ignored issue for years.

This is ridiculous. They filled Texas with data centers and now we're paying the price.

Today, take a hard look at your tax bill. ~$1.9 trillion of federal spending now goes to healthcare. That’s ~27% of total spending. But the number that actually matters is that it’s ~39% of all federal revenue. Before you pay a single premium, nearly 40 cents of every dollar the government collects is already committed to healthcare. But wait - there’s more: ~67% of Americans have private insurance (most through employer-sponsored plans) And you still pay ~$1,500/year (single) or ~$6,000+/year (family). Note that is before deductibles. Before copays. Before coinsurance. So let’s summarize: You’re taxed for healthcare. You pay premiums for healthcare. You pay out-of-pocket for healthcare. And you still can’t access or afford healthcare. And here’s the part no one wants to say - the system is working exactly as designed! The only two groups that can force real change are the consumer and the physician.And both are paralyzed. Patients have been conditioned to believe there are no alternatives. Physicians have been absorbed into systems they don’t control. Until one of those groups moves, nothing changes. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

TAXES are completely out of control in America; at the federal level, the state level, and the local levels. You know why?… Because government SPENDING is completely out of control in America; at the federal level, the state level, and the local levels.

In other words, the federal government borrowed $3400 on average from every taxpayer, interest free. Nice spin here.

@AndrewYang Where is the ‘I’m pissed that I’m paying for waste abuse and fraud’ option?

It’s Tax Day. How are you feeling about it?

@deaflibertarian I usually end up paying rather than get a refund, which is fine with me. No interest free loan from me. But this year, with the fraud and non-citizens getting support, it pissed me off to write that check.

This post triggered a lot of feds, holy moly.

We should be able to deduct inflation as part of the AGI adjustments.

@Guntalk I could by several guns with the amount we have to pay. 😡

ARE YOU GETTING A TAX REFUND? WHAT GUN ARE YOU BUYING WITH THAT DOUGH? 😎
