Do you want to know the good news about the minimum wage? In most parts of the country, it is practically irrelevant. reason.com/2026/04/28/the…

Can we stop saying " if you can’t afford to tip you can’t afford to dine out!" We need to be saying, "If a restaurant can’t pay its employees a livable wage without depending on the generosity of customers then they can’t afford to own a business!”

@P89DaPrince @LarryJones It doesn't change the impact on our wallets either way but it would impact their taxes and, likely, the service they provide. These demands have gotten ridiculous.

@DefiantLs Driving a bicycle at high speeds into a larger object is usually not a good idea.

Netherlands just announced a new 120% wealth tax It will apply to the ultra-rich who earn above €150k per year So if you make €200k, you pay €60k on the €50k above the threshold Dutch officials explained it is to "discourage wealth hoarding behaviour" So beautifuly said Finally someone in Europe has the moral spine to put an end this selfish accumulation of wealth No human being should make over €150k a year It is a vulgar and borderline pornographic amount I hope more EU countries will adopt this progressive legislation This is why Europe is, and always will be, light years ahead of America

There's no good civic argument for the electoral college. It was arguably necessary to ensure the ratification of the Constitution, but it's an anti-democratic device that gives some American citizens far more voting power than others, based purely on where they live.

@JamesSurowiecki Amending the constitution is hard but not impossible. When they regain power, Democrats should push three that have overwhelming popular support: 1) Popular vote for President 2) Limitations on Presidents' pardon power 3) Term limits for SCOTUS judges

@JamesSurowiecki So, you think letting LA, Chicago and NY select our presidents for us is better?

@FELibrary_ You not understanding something doesn’t make everyone else wrong. Most of us learned that when we were three.

Wake up! This is exactly what they don’t want you to notice. Artemis 2 didn’t go “to space” at all. It launched, then immediately veered off sideways straight toward the Bermuda Triangle. Everything you see after that? Pure fabrication AI generated visuals and studio footage designed to sell the illusion that they’re floating around in some fake outer space. It’s all a production, not a mission, but an illusion. This is proof.
