@ThomasSowell It worked in Cuba. Every hotel in Havana is owned by Raul Castro's son-in-law. From the rich to the rich.

Kyle Kulinski: “Tax every penny in net worth somebody has over $999M at 100%. It’s a no billionaires tax, no trillionaires tax. We’ll send you a fucking plaque in the mail that says I won at capitalism. We already have Gilded Age level income.”

@roddreher I'm from Minnesota. We smile at strangers. Out in the country, we wave at passing motorists and they wave back.

From a 2017 magazine in Prague offering advice to US tourists.

@ThomasSowell So her part in 'Friends' was not made up.

Kudrow: “I’ve been listening to physicists are thinking about the difficult question of consciousness and deciding that what makes the most sense is its consciousness is not in here [the brain]. It exists in a field, the field that is everywhere.”

@libsoftiktok Three words: RULE OF LAW.

23/30 of this guy’s roofing company employees were arrested by ICE in Minnesota More jobs for Americans just opened up!

@RealJamesWoods The solution is simple: Blind and vigorous justice. No wavering. Let the inside of prison cells bring back civility.

In the late seventies I crossed the Atlantic on the QE2. I went First Class, which I paid for with my first real paycheck. We had a mandatory dress code for dinner. Black Tie and commensurate formal wear for the ladies. It was one of my favorite memories.

@jeremyct . . . No benefits. No sick days. No health insurance . . . No roommates.

A Target cashier told me she’s worked there for 6 years and never once hit 40 hours. Always 38. Never 39. Never 40. $15 an hour. $2,200 a month before taxes. Rent is $1,350. No benefits. No sick days. No health insurance. She came in with a fever last month because missing a shift meant missing rent. Target made $4 billion in profit last year. She can’t afford to be sick. We decided that’s just how it works. I think about that every time they ask me to donate to their charity at checkout.

@GLpodcast The question answers itself: How could they not have known?

Do you agree with Aimee Bock of Feeding Our Future in her belief that Governor Walz and Attorney General Ellison knew about the fraud?

@MatrixMysteries The theatrics . . . please stop.

This woman OWNS 37 acres of land. Not leased. Not borrowed. OWNED. And the government still told her she can’t put a tiny home on it. “I said, I OWN the land. It's massive. What's the problem?” Ownership means NOTHING when permission is required for everything.

@TheBabylonBee Women do not like to make decisions. Make one president and here's what you get.

We Asked AI To Simulate The First Woman President And The Results Are Exactly What You Expect

@femalebodybuil6 Tipping is a way to express your generosity. How does generosity and any kind of expression of good will figure into this forced kind of thing?

Would you still go in and eat here?🤔

@jeremyct Is there a name for these kind of posts?

$650,000 home. 20% down. $520,000 mortgage. 7% interest rate. 30 year term. You pay $725,000 in interest alone. The $650,000 house costs you $1,505,000. That’s $4,180 a month. Plus maintenance. Plus repairs. Plus property taxes. Plus insurance. People think mortgages were designed to help them buy a home. They were designed to help banks buy your paycheck. For 30 years.

@kittenheelsrule Accept Jesus Christ as your savior. Join a church. Meet a good guy there. If he has a good job, get married otherwise wait until he does. Have kids. Save and send them to college and then into the world debt free. Have grandkids. A better life does not exist.

I am so discouraged. I’ve applied to over 1000 jobs from front desk person, bartender & literally everything in between. I have my Masters. I have a great resume. What am I doing wrong?

@skumWgmi Everyone ought to be guaranteed a trouble-free life. Right?

Just spoke to a 58 year old in Phoenix. He has: - $410,000 in a 401k he can't touch without penalty - A house worth $390,000 with $180,000 left on the mortgage - A job he physically cannot do much longer - Seven years until Medicare He is not poor. He is not rich. He is trapped between the assets he built and the healthcare system that won't let him stop until he's 65. Millions of Americans are working jobs that are killing them because they cannot afford to retire at 58. We call this a personal problem. It is a policy failure

@Streetfight983 This kind of thing has been around for a long time. Remember Sapphire?

@Streetfight983 Sorry to have to say it but here is one reason black men do not vote for black female political candidates.

@Cryptoboyy_Aji Phony and so repetitive.

A man went to dinner in Europe last night. Paid $11 for a full meal. $6 for a glass of wine that would cost $18 in America. The waiter didn’t need a 25% tip to survive. The restaurant paid him a living wage. He took public transit home. Clean. On time. $2. No car payment. No insurance bill. No $4 gas. He didn’t win the lottery. He didn’t get a raise. He just lives in a country that decided basic life shouldn’t cost everything you have. Then he remembered he was American. And flew home to his $2,300 rent and $500 health insurance premium.

@asia_decode2 During the British Raj, a Hindu man burned his daughter to death in an honor killing. He told the British magistrate that it should be allowed since it is Hindu custom. The magistrate replied that Britain has a custom too: If a father kills his daughter, the state hangs him.

🇮🇳Father of the Year : A Hindu man married his own daughter and said, "The person who plants a plant has the first right to have the fruit. Likewise, I have brought her on earth and I must have full right at first to enjoy with her." When the interviewer asked him, "Have you done everything with her?" the man replied, "What's wrong in that? It's normal in our Hindu culture and it's the only justice." How pathetic, savage and subhuman demon are these people!

@UziCryptoo From a historical perspective, it was definitely not a normal life. It was a very rare confluence of peace and prosperity in large doses. But life is always good.

When I worked at Sears in the early 90's, the people there built entire lives off those jobs. The guy running appliances had three kids, coached little league every weekend, and retired after 32 years with a pension. One of the women in customer service bought her first house working full-time there, and the older guy in hardware took the same vacation to the Ozarks every summer because he could actually afford to unplug for a week. The managers knew everybody by name, the Christmas bonuses actually meant something, and the store was packed every holiday season because business was booming. Nobody thought they were "stuck" working retail - it was honest work that paid enough to live with dignity. Somewhere along the way, corporations started making record profits while the people keeping the place running could barely afford rent. When exactly did a steady full-time job stop being enough to build a normal life?

@Lifeinvestmoney Troll.

This basic meal cost me $37 I can’t afford a house because I need to eat to survive How do we fix this?

@MatrixMysteries Is this the way things are with this generation?

An American checks her student loans. She borrowed $49,548.74. After 120 payments, she’s paid $25,558.36. Her current balance? $50,121.33. After PAYING $25k… she now owes MORE than she originally borrowed. This isn’t aid — it’s legalized USURY.
