@cloutcowboy @peak_checo @Migwebs Equating poor education with being foreign is not particularly xenophilic of you, regardless of your point

@cloutcowboy @peak_checo @Migwebs The mark of American education is an unearned sense of superiority despite overall subpar results. You do realise your country has some of the worst academic results in the first world?

@peak_checo @Migwebs That explains why you so wildly misunderstood the point to the degree that you seem like a foreigner. Poor education

@MasterGold181 @sam_d_1995 They're being taxed 60-80% on fuel. Seems reasonable to me

@sam_d_1995 It’s comforting to know regardless where in the world farmers are some of the dumbest voting blocs known to man

Feel like that fertility crisis thing might going on for a bit longer.

You may think it’s barbaric and evil to force a 12 year old to give birth to her rapist’s baby at gunpoint. However, have you considered that we made an infant suffer unimaginable pain for the 2 hours he was alive for no reason? Not so black and white now, is it?

Meet baby Charlie. His parents were told his organs were underdeveloped in the womb & were advised to end his life prematurely through abortion. They refused. Baby Charlie was born & lived for two precious hours before passing away naturally. Every child is worthy of life.

@pl_cereal @MejaActual idk man, I see what you mean but it's not like hitler was secretly Jewish. some people don't have to have a stake in their hate, it's for other reasons
English
@Scraggle_ @MejaActual I didn't say all evil people are secretly gay, im talking about the ones that dedicate their entire lives to hating a specific minority group for no benefit of their own. The level of sheer targeted vindictiveness is so inhumane i just feel something has to trigger it in many.
English
@pl_cereal @MejaActual not everyone who is evil is secretly gay actually! straight people are more than capable of being the worst people ever without a repressed queerness apparently making them so x
English
@MejaActual I'm convinced people like Graham have extremely repressed queerness in the closet and their coping mechanism is being awful towards people that had the guts to be themselves, something they could never do.

@NopeSignal There is a point between the ages of 13-16 where you realize that even if you're making these jokes ironically, nobody else can tell you're being ironic, so you either

You wanna live in a big house with columns like in Gladiator? Of course you do, you’re twelve.

we could literally build this in every American city. buildings that inspire a long view of the future; a long and optimistic view of humanity we are a 250 year old country who should be dreaming for 2500 years

Dear @POTUS Trump, We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher. We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last. We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers. Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, lower-quality imports -- and the American people don't even know these products are foreign because they are allowed to be marked as “Product of the USA”. On top of all this—there is only chaos coming from the Department of Agriculture. There is no true guidance, mixed messaging, and a copious amount of photo ops. There is no one to trust over there that truly understands the issues and isn’t bought out by or aligned with Big Industries. The American cattle rancher is one of the last symbols of independence we have in the nation—but the continued manipulation and betrayal by the very people who claim to support them, needs to end immediately. While only representing 1% of the population, the work is tireless, daily, in poor conditions, with low margins, without thanks— all in order to keep this country fed. We would be a failed nation if we continue to betray the very people who put food on the table for us. There are so many voices on the outside that support you and want to see you succeed. Maybe it’s time to start listening to them. Your team knows how to get in touch with us. Sincerely, Meriwether Farms

I Bought $250,000 Worth of Physical Nickels
No, that’s not a typo.
That’s 5 million coins. 55,000 pounds of American metal stacked in boxes from a local bank vault — an asset the government literally can’t print anymore.
Most people would call it insane.
But let me explain the thesis.
Each U.S. nickel is made of 75% copper and 25% nickel, weighing 5 grams. That means every $1 million in face value equals roughly 100,000 pounds of metal.
At current metal spot prices, the melt value of a modern nickel sits around $0.043 – $0.047, depending on commodity fluctuations — or roughly 90–95% of face value. That means the U.S. Mint loses money on every coin it produces. They’ve tried to change the composition for years, but Congress hasn’t approved it yet.
So what happens when they finally do?
The old “real” nickels become the last batch of government-issued coins containing significant industrial metal. When that happens, they’ll vanish from circulation overnight — just like the 90% silver coins did after 1964. Those who held them saw a 10–15× nominal gain over the following decades as melt value outpaced inflation.
My $250,000 position, therefore, isn’t a “trade.”
It’s an asymmetrical bet that the U.S. Mint will eventually debase the coinage again, that metal scarcity and inflation will continue to erode the dollar, and that a bag of nickels will one day be worth more dead than alive.
Worst case? I still have $250,000 in legal-tender coins backed by the full faith and credit of the United States.
Best case? The melt value doubles, triples, or gets banned outright — which would make the existing supply finite and far more valuable to collectors and contrarians alike.
It’s not crypto, it’s not stocks, it’s not even silver.
It’s 5 million tiny claims on an industrial commodity the government accidentally subsidizes.
That’s deep value.
That’s the Nickel Standard.
