@RepMikeQuigley F*ck off you prick. He's the elected President of the USA and we LOVE what he's doing. Who do you think you are??

I'm officially calling for the Cabinet to remove Trump from office under the 25th Amendment. If they can't, Congress must return from recess today and begin impeachment proceedings.
Read my full statement below.

Who is proud of cutting Hospices? WTF is wrong with you people?
America@america
Dr. Oz: “We have shut down just in the last ten weeks 221 hospices.” Bret: “Wait, over 220 in the state of California?” Dr. Oz: “Yes, in Los Angeles alone.”

@peterrhague The UK pension is pathetically small compared to most other nations. Cut the bloody immigrant cost and Govt waste before you bleat on bout pensioners who have paid taxes all their lives.
English

The first task of UK politics is to fix this. Anybody refusing to is not fit to lead the country.

For the retired people in the comments claiming "I paid more than my fair share". Actually, most of you didn't. You're being subsidised by me, my peers, and the children we won't be able to have.

@lukerobertblack So was your state education and the time you went to the local NHS hospital because your brain fell out of your ear.

@Edwina_Currie The UK state pension is pathetically small. What's not sustainable is Govt waste.
English

Sure.
But the Triple Lock is a recent invention, costs a fortune and (with ever increasing numbers of old people) is not sustainable.

The 1946 National Insurance Act was called 'the best insurance policy the British people ever had' by the Labour government at that time. It entitled pensioners to a contribution-based pension that would not be means-tested. To renege on that contract now would be one of the biggest betrayals of the British people ever.

@RodDMartin Milei, Trump, and Meloni are 3 of the greatest leaders the world has ever seen.
English

Argentine President Javier Milei: “I thought being on the left was a mental problem. The empirical evidence is so overwhelming that it never worked anywhere, and they refused to accept it.
“But what I discovered is that being on the left is a disease of the soul. The left is built on envy, hatred, resentment, and unequal treatment under the law. They are very violent, and since they have no way or arguments to answer, they go for physical violence.”

@gothburz AI is coming for you anyway. Get another job. Last time I looked business wasn't a charity. If you want to pull the strings start your own enterprise.

I am the VP of Workforce Economics at Oracle. We are worth $420 billion.
On Tuesday, we sent 30,000 employees a termination email at 6 AM.
Not 9. Not business hours. Six in the morning. They woke up to the word "eliminated."
The email came from "Oracle Leadership." Not a manager. Not a name. Oracle Leadership.
It said: "We are grateful for your dedication, hard work, and the impact you have made."
By the time they read the word "grateful," their access to email, files, and Slack had already been revoked. The gratitude was the last Oracle communication they received.
We did not eliminate the roles. We eliminated the salaries.
In the same fiscal year, we filed 3,126 H-1B petitions to hire foreign workers. 436 this year alone. The roles are identical. The pay is not.
An H-1B software engineer earns $87,000. The domestic median for the same work is $106,000. Eighty-three percent of H-1B workers are classified at entry-level wages for senior positions.
The industry calls this a skills gap. It is a pay cut that requires a passport.
The visa is tied to the employer. If the worker leaves, they lose their legal right to remain in the country. If they negotiate, they risk the same. If they organize, the sponsor declines to renew.
That is retention.
Our revenue this quarter is $17.2 billion. Up 22%. Net income up 95%. We have $553 billion in committed future contracts. Up 325%.
These are not the numbers of a company that needs to lay anyone off.
We took a $2.1 billion restructuring charge. That is the cost of the gratitude. It frees up $8 to $10 billion in annual cash flow. That cash services $156 billion in AI data centers we are building. Starting 2028, OpenAI pays us $82 million per day.
Larry Ellison is worth $189 billion. He pledged $51 billion in Oracle shares as collateral for the Stargate AI venture. Announced at the White House.
The stock rose 4% on Tuesday. The day of the 6 AM emails. Wall Street did not see 30,000 people. They saw the margin.
Amazon laid off 30,000 since October. Filed thousands of H-1B petitions in the same window. This is not one company. This is the operating model.
Fire the salary. Keep the role. Fill it with someone whose legal right to remain in the country depends on your continued sponsorship. Pay them less. They will not complain. They cannot.
One employee's father worked at Oracle for 20 years. No phone call. No meeting. An email at 6 AM and a locked laptop.
The role is still open.
The people we fired are free. The people we hired are not.

@premierleague if clubs don't stop tossing about with sideways passing at the back football will die as a spectacle. I'm right on the verge of unsubscribing from now and tnt sports. It's unbearable. Ban the short goal kick.

@PeterSweden7 There gave been more deaths in the name of religion than anything else. Who cares whether there's a god watching people suffer and die? It's irrelevant to the 21st century.

What is your best logical argument for the existence of God?
I have two arguments that are very compelling...
Argument number 1:
The universe must logically have had a beginning.
If it had a beginning, then that beginning must have had a cause.
That cause must be outside of this universe and outside of time.
An eternal, all powerful source. In other words, God.
The other option would be that the universe, time and matter was eternal. Which would per definition place it in the category of supernatural, which is absurd.
Argument number 2:
If good and evil exists, that means God must also exist.
Why? Because God is what gives the ultimate compass for what is objectively good and evil. Without God, an higher power that is all knowing and perfect, moral laws become subjective to each one of us.
You cannot have moral law without a moral law giver.
We can observe and logically understand that objective moral laws do indeed exist.
We can clearly see that evil, that which goes against the objective moral law, does exist.
Therefore good, that which follows the objectively moral law, must also exist.
And if those are true, therefore then, God exists.
