@Confusedashall @nicksortor Actually yes we are producing more than those people. My brother in law runs a few of them where we live and he said US is producing 22 million Saudi is 11 million and Russia is 9.17 million. He said it probably won't double by next year though.

@YIMBYLAND There already exists a 3.5 hour train that goes between Austin and San Antonio with a round trip costing $20-$30: the Amtrak Texas Eagle.
Slightly longer than driving, but still worth it. You don't need to pay attention or worry about accidents on the Amtrak.

It's time to connect the Austin/San Antonio metroplex.
- 5.3 million people.
- Dedicated rail.
- 15 Minute frequencies.
- Clean, comfortable trains.
- Transit oriented development.
This would be a HOME RUN.

This should be a passenger rail line. There’s no need for freight to go through the middle of downtown anymore. It’s actually terrifying to think about how bad this would be if it was hazardous material freight.

@Tironianae @CobyCovfefe Unless you aware of weapons systems and defense capabilities perhaps those complaining should hush. Apparently the Navy believes they have need for the ships or they wouldn’t pursue having them built.

@MightyMuth24 @Kingfrog25 @DividendRob It’s insured by the FDIC, I am not sure what kind of account you would call it, but it has a debit card connected to it.

Financial IQ is tied to it as well. Can you get a 3% to 5% rate of return in a bank? Nope, people have to get more aggressive and put their money in riskier endeavors. My grandparents weren’t financial geniuses. They knew how to save and get safe returns. That doesn’t really exist anymore. A devalued dollar puts people in a position to take more risk. Sadly many people don’t learn to adapt today. I mean 50%+ of people have no investable assets. They are tied to dollars. They get poorer every year.

@scottsantens This all comes down to standard of living and keeping up with Jones’

If you're complaining about too few kids being born, their cost is what you should be focused on. The solution is universal basic income, universal healthcare, and universal childcare. That's how to make raising kids more affordable.

Raising a child to age 18 now costs more than $303,000, an increase of 27.8% since 2023, per FOX.

@GinaHinojosaTX Why would you want to pull 20% of the funding for TX roads? We need more funding as it is.

“Everybody's saying there's no affordable houses in Denver. This house is $265,000. One bed, one bath in Denver, Colorado”
At first I thought this was a joke but it’s not, it’s real
We have a major housing affordability crisis in America
Just since 2019 home prices have increased 40-50%+ in Denver Colorado
Rent prices have also increased substantially, they are in 20-40%
Again, this is just since 2019
Americans are being priced out of their own country. In fact, nationwide home prices have risen 44% since 2019

Arlington taxpayers will have to pay for this even though Jerry Jones is worth over 18 billion dollars.

@Tex2Big @MaryLTrump True enough
I don’t trust Trump or Kash as far as I can throw them, but atleast they presented their evidence to a grand jury and got the indictment, which carries more weight than anything they could ever say
English

@CrusaderBear333 @MaryLTrump They say they do….. but then again they say a lot of things. I hope the truth comes to light.
English

@MaryLTrump Mary…. What you’re saying only makes sense if the SPLC committed no crimes…
But they did… the Feds have the evidence… you can’t just “ but Trump” away facts you don’t like
Grow up
