@EricLDaugh El Salvador has the highest percentage of incarcerated people per capita of any country in the world.

🚨 NOW: El Salvadorans are boasting that President Nayib Bukele has turned his once-violent country into the OPPOSITE of EUROPE — instead of rampant gangs and no go zones, the people are safe and THRIVING
-98% in homicides
Incredible what ruling with an iron fist over crime can do! 🇺🇸🇸🇻
Bravo, @NayibBukele! A model for Latin America. EUROPE should take notes!

@VickyRichterUSA Our global reach is what keeps EU and others protected... There is literally no danger to the U.S. in our own hemisphere. How can you be so dense? We don't need that big of a global reach anymore. Have fun dealing with Putin and Xi.

America’s “Favor” That Powers Its Empire
U.S. troops in Germany are not there out of charity—and certainly not to “protect” Germans. They are there because without German soil, American global reach doesn’t function.
Ramstein is the largest U.S. air base outside America. Stuttgart hosts EUCOM and AFRICOM—the command centers for operations across Europe and Africa. Landstuhl has been the lifeline for wounded U.S. soldiers from Iraq to Afghanistan. Even drone operations in places like Somalia rely on infrastructure routed through Germany.
Remove that, and you don’t weaken Berlin—you blind Washington.
Yet somehow the narrative persists: America is doing Germany a favour. That Europe is the dependent, the beneficiary, the so-called “freeloader.”
It’s a convenient story. It’s also strategically backwards.
Because the reality is simple: those bases are not acts of generosity. They are instruments of power. And they exist in Germany not for Germany’s benefit—but for America’s ability to operate far beyond its own borders.
Take them away, and the question isn’t what Germany loses.
It’s how much the United States does.

@UziCryptoo @upandafter I grew up with sitcoms like Odd couple, 3s Company and Bosom Buddies lol. Friends, New Girl, Big Bang Theory, Workaholics, etc., etc. roomate sitcoms of today. Not sure where this generation gets the idea that living alone is possible before getting an actual career or marriage.

@upandafter The economy used to be so good at one point, if you had a roommate people used to think your gay.

In my area, In-N-Out and Chipotle are hiring around $20/hour for new workers.
Let’s say you even land full-time at 40 hours/week: $20/hour = $800/week
That’s $3,467/month before taxes.
After just 12% in federal taxes, you’re left with about $3,051/month take-home.
Now here’s the reality: Average one-bedroom apartment is around $2,000/month.
So even working full-time in fast food, 65% of your income disappears to rent alone.
That leaves you with about $1,050/month for:
• food
• transportation
• insurance
• phone
• savings
• emergencies
This isn’t a “budgeting problem.”
This is a cost of living crisis.
Working full time should never mean barely surviving.

@MouthyOldBat @Kraig_w_a_K64 @BitcoinSapiens People with disabilities receive disability (SSDI) already......
English
@SPB_TN @Kraig_w_a_K64 @BitcoinSapiens A lot of people aren't terribly job-flexible such as people with developmental or emotional disabilities and senior citizens. Do they not deserve to be able to afford basic food, housing, health insurance, and some form of transportation if they're working a 40 hour week?
English
The minimum wage in Pennsylvania is $7.25 an hour.
A regular Auntie Anne’s soft pretzel at the mall is $7.29.
Imagine telling someone an hour of their time is worth less than a pretzel.
English
@MouthyOldBat @Kraig_w_a_K64 @BitcoinSapiens Then don't work for those businesses. Plenty of places paying double and more than minimum wage.....
English
@Kraig_w_a_K64 @BitcoinSapiens Go talk to people who work for family-owned businesses.

@BitcoinSapiens OK now find someone who is actually working for that minimum wage.

@JfkPascalNajadX Islam is built on conquest, raping and pillaging. They were good at it for awhile, but got thier asses handed to them in the end. They have just changed their strategy pretty recently and its kind of working for now.

🚨 BREAKING: Terrifying sight as NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani calls on America to look to ISLAM and the "Prophet Muhammad" to support a pro-mass migration stance
"Islam is built on migration."
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
We need to repel Islam from America!

Watch this road rager get out of his car and start pounding on another car's window. A bigger guy gets out and the road rager starts getting the worst of it. Then his woman jumps in and gets knocked out cold. He runs back to his car and grabs a crowbar.
Was it worth having your woman end up with a concussion?

@TheLucyShow1 Get your kids out of traditional sports, Stop watching and paying for organized sports like football, basketball etc., nothing but bread and circuses, a waste of time and money and all it does is fund the worst types of people. Get your kids into MMA if anything.

@WallStreetApes I get better cups of coffee at the local coffee shops for almost 1/2 the price and there's quite a few of them. Or make my own at home. Why go to Starbucks?
English
Starbucks CEO defends a cup of coffee costing $9
He says the customers needs to just not think about it as a $9 cup of coffee, you’re paying for the “experience” of getting a Starbucks coffee
“In some cases a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging, and then what that means is we have to make it worthwhile.”
He says Starbucks customers “want to have a special experience and regardless of what your income level is, in some cases, a $9 experience does feel like you're splurging — well, this is a really affordable premium experience”
How out of touch could a person possibly be…

@MerlijnTrader Meloni's response: "Italy cannot be part of any organization where children and women are massacred."
She left out the part about Iran hanging kids in mass, and 9 year old brides. Murdering 10’s of thousands.
We missed that part from Meloni. 👎🙄

BREAKING:
🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump just cut Italy loose.
"Italy was not on our side.
We will not be on their side. They made their choice."
Meloni's response: "Italy cannot be part of any organization where children and women are massacred."
Trump's closest European ally. Gone.
NATO exit threatened. Spain sanctioned. Now Italy.
The U.S. is losing Europe.
Merlijn The Trader@MerlijnTrader
INSIGHTS: 🇺🇸🇮🇹 Trump just publicly called out Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. "She is no longer the old Meloni. I thought she was brave. I was wrong." Meloni's response: "Italy does not care about what Donald Trump said." Read the Meloni situation carefully. She was Trump's strongest European ally. The one leader who publicly supported his agenda. NATO exit threatened. Iran talks cancelled. Meloni gone. The U.S. is increasingly isolated on the world stage. When you lose your last friend in Europe. You're not winning anymore.
