Sarah isn’t here

@TheNFTCPA The way TT is going, the only difference will be that the direct AI interface explains its answer.

AI isn't always right. Its a great tool when you know what to expect as the answer but if you are going in blind its not always going to be write. Those that will use AI for tax are going to be the same as those that use TurboTax already. #TaxTwitter

@RadioFreeTom Gen X thought about nuclear war constantly. Growing up in Arlington, VA we always felt lucky to be inside the blast zone.

I hearby apologize to Gen X. They have a good point. Gen Z, I want to hear nothing from you.

@Timodc Cleveland, obvi

What’s the US’s “fourth” city? New York, New Orleans, and New Braunfels are pretty clearly the top 3 but the 4th is more ambiguous. I feel like the main contenders are probably Newark, Newport News, or Miami but I might be missing one.

@mcuban I’m fighting over $170k in residential OCD treatment bills. It’s not as simple as calling out the CEO when your family’s medical privacy and your continued employment are both on the line.

If the patient has insurance from a self insured employer, call the CEO. It is ALWAYS their final decision. They can override the insurance company. They are responsible for the employees that use the plans the CEO approved and signed the contract for. They usually just don’t know it. Ask nice first. Post here second, and tag me.

@mkobach Landlords are neither greedy nor generous. They charge what the market will bear. If you consistently had greater expenses than what you could get in rent, you’d sell. My issue is when landlords claim taxes or other expenses increase rent - as though there’s no market rate.

I don’t really get the landlord hate. I have a condo I rent out and I want to break down the math for everyone that hates “greedy landlords”. I’m gonna round so the math is cleaner. I rent my place fully furnished and cover all utilities. Mortgage: $2,200 HOA: $500 Utilities: $300 Total monthly costs: ~$3,000 The going rate is $3,500-$4,000 a month (I usually rent to someone in the film/tv industry who’s filming in Atlanta). Most people stay for 6 months and it’s usually 1-2 months between tenets. I also pay a realtor 10% of the total contract. So that means in a calendar year it costs me $36,000. If I rent it out for 10 of those months at $4,000/month, that’s $40,000. Subtract the $4,000 realtor fee and all I’ve done is break even. Not to mention if anything requires maintenance I’m effectively losing money. At BEST I’m making ~$500 a month. There seems to be some myth that if there were no landlords, everyone could own a house. But millions of people prefer to rent. And for most of those people, the extra money they pay me is worth it for them not to deal with mortgages and ownership. Do some landlords suck? Of course. But rent isn’t high because of landlords. It’s high because we don’t have enough housing. If housing supply increased then mortgages would be cheaper. If mortgages are cheaper then rents would go down. It’s not “greedy landlords” that make rents high. It’s lack of housing supply.

@RandPaul How are expensive people covered under these plans? We call them high risk but that’s not really true; it’s not like living in a wildfire area. Cancer patients may cost tens of thousands PER MONTH and stay on treatment indefinitely. Where do they go under your plan?

Health care shouldn’t cost as much as a new car. My Health Marketplace for All Act lets any group—Costco, Sam’s, Amazon members, churches, small businesses—band together to negotiate lower premiums. After years of rising costs under Obamacare, my plan will empower consumers and takes on big insurance. usatoday.com/story/opinion/…

@izadoesdev I’ve signed up for so many services after cancelling the free trial immediately. Cancelling is just so you don’t default into an option you didn’t consciously choose. 🤷‍♀️

hi, so this is actually illegal and breaks consumer protection laws, hope this helps

@BraddrofliT This is not an either/or.

One question for 2025: Reply 1 if you think Trump will be the most consequential president since FDR Reply 2 if you think he’s doing irreversible damage ⚠️ No essays, no ratio warriors, just raw numbers. Let’s watch the country pick a side in real time.

@chasedownleads If no one can afford it you don’t have a buyer. The houses value is determined by the market. No buyer, no real “worth.” What you are saying is you would sell it for $1.7M.

Bought this house for $700k in 2021 It’s now worth $1.7 million, but no one can afford to buy it I have $1 million in profit that I can’t unlock Government needs to fix the housing market NOW

@Matt_Pinner It’s not that sinister. What happens is the biggest, most robust clinical trials get funded heavily by the pharmaceutical companies. If they have a drug that looks promising but would cut into sales of another drug still under patent, they may not be motivated to fund a trial.

Please be honest!! Do you really believe we’re being lied to about cancer and there’s actually many cures but it’s more profitable to treat people til they die than it is to actually cure them 🤔

@realdocspeaks Part of the issue is that we are using longer term treatments that are bankrupting, and good luck finding a catastrophic insurance on an open market that covers indefinite cancer drugs or cystic fibrosis drugs. It’s easier than ever to simply cost $1M+ a year to stay alive.

Insurance should be reserved for rare and catastrophic events. However, it makes no sense. Use insurance for very affordable medical services. Why do you want to use insurance for a four dollar prescription, so you could be massively overcharged. We need to have cash pay for a routine service services, paired with a catastrophic insurance policy that covers events that would bankrupt you.

@RealTraderJill Writing 2(4) is similar to writing 2b; in both cases you have a single term. The purpose of the parentheses is so you can differentiate the numbers, but it’s still one term.

Things like this always make me laugh, lol The answer IS actually 16. I just don't understand how people graduated high school without being able to do very basic math. No Child Left Behind was an absolute failure. Can we at least agree on that?

@sbattusa @adamcarolla No woman should quit her job to take on all the unpaid labor unless she lives in a community property state.

@adamcarolla The low-skill labor of a mediocre caregiver isn’t worth multiple millions. No man should marry in this country without a rock-solid prenuptial, if at all.

I had to give my ex wife my retirement account in the divorce. I worked 30 years for that but I gave it to a person who chose not to work. Character is a big issue in this country

@chrisheatherly @mcuban How are you addressing balance billing in this model? I get a cancer treatment that’s billed at $100k each month. My insurance pays around $20k. Medicare is probably even lower. Does the hospital have to accept Medicare rates in your model?

@mcuban Really what you’re talking about is a high deductible, high co-pay plan with govt backed debt. But how has that gone in education?

My solution, and it’s not perfect, is: Rather than the government/taxpayers taking on the obligation of payment for almost all medical care as M4A proposes, we take on the risk of non-payment at Medicare or Medicare Reference Pricing, for the same care, by guaranteeing all patient debt and seeking means tested repayment plans. No HC insurance beyond supplemental plans. The taxpayer acts as the insurance company. Rather than premiums, taxpayers pay for what they use, based on what they can afford.

@1rocketdude @RepMTG Is the whole sick-care part kind of the point though? My fellow cancer patients will “adjust” by going without insurance and dying sooner.

@RepMTG the best "off-ramp" is a cliff. Just cancel it. The market will adjust. People will adjust. What Obamacare provides is not health care, but sick-care at great expense.

The ACA/Obamacare destroyed healthcare for the middle class. My own insurance for our family of 5 went from great coverage at $800/mo to $2,400/mo. We must build the off-ramp off the ACA and lay the groundwork for a real market Americans can afford.

@reality0628 @0hour1 Support his mental health the best you can with a loving, open communication style. Check in often. Encourage structure and activity. It’s more about whether he’s functioning than whether he’s looking at stuff occasionally. 18 is really hard, especially with boys.

@0hour1 my son is turning 18 in Nov and the apple parental controls automatically end. I am so worried about the porn that is so easily available. If anyone has any suggestions I'm open

I am telling you If you got kids Weekly Search their devices like you work at the FBI Seize that shit and do it. You need to know what they do and talk about. Kids have 0 rights to privacy with parents.

@mcuban Not knowing what’s covered until the claim is processed. If a claim is denied, all protections can be thrown out the window.

What is the biggest issue with Healthcare Insurance

@DrBenTapper1 They die of disease in droves, but the stronger survive and reproduce. That’s literally eugenics if you apply it to humans. You do you, just be honest about it.

We don’t vaccinate animals in the wild. Entire species thrive without a single shot. Some may get sick here and there, but they recover and survive with zero vaccines. Isn’t it wild that Nature takes better care of itself than Big Pharma says we can? Nature doesn’t need help, just no interference.

@Chritmit @CaitlinPacific I am 6 years in deep remission from multiple myeloma, which took my grandfather’s life in 6 brutal months. We do need to understand why I and many others got an “old man’s disease” at 41 (my grandfather at 65), but I am alive due to incredible advances in treatments.

@CaitlinPacific That’s encouraging but most of that reduction is lung cancer from smoking reduction. Diet, lifestyle and fitness reductions that maha attempts to address is targeted at the alarming rise in female cancers and young people .

Cancer deaths have dropped by 34% since 1991, which seems like something that should be included in MAHA discourse

@CBruga30642 @woke8yearold It’s regional or possibly class-based. Most people I know in the US say “by accident.”

@woke8yearold Why do Americans insist on saying ‘on accident’ as opposed to ‘by accident’

The worst Britishism by far is using “public school” to refer to private schools because they are “open to the public” (people who pay)
