@ShepRules @LeaderJohnThune ID for voting is controversial? Come on

@LeaderJohnThune Stop lying. Everyone knows what it is and what you're trying to do

The SAVE America Act debate has made one thing crystal clear: Democrats’ rhetoric is completely out of step with what most Americans support. Providing proof of citizenship and showing a photo ID to vote is just common sense.

@ShaleTier7 Hasn’t the cost to drill wells dropped materially?

WTI crude averaged $98/bbl in 2014. That’s $772/bbl inflation adjusted to 2029. Oil is still cheap.

@tyhok_hassett @BeetfarmerDave Generally that isnt preferred; it’s costly and takes more time to find people . The big elements for data centers are staffing to build, access to stable energy and access to fiber. Remote isn’t ideal.

@WadeC84 @BeetfarmerDave They do it with oil facilities all the time, don't think that's the thing holding it back. Build a camp to house construction. There is a city up there that could accommodate workers once it's operational.

This may seem like a stupid question so bare with me here. If the AI data centers need so much water to cool why aren’t they by the ocean or where it’s cold a lot?

@tyhok_hassett @BeetfarmerDave Right, oil facilities = data centers

@tyhok_hassett @BeetfarmerDave You need 1000’s of electricians to build. Need to be close to a major city

@BeetfarmerDave There is a plan for a 70B one but one of those things thats likely to never happen.

@ShepRules @electionsjoe What? You’re not a serious person

@electionsjoe I cannot begin to explain how stupid you must be. Everyone who makes less than that already pays 8.65% tax. That's 8.65% more than Elon musk and Jeff bezos pay.

I cannot begin to explain how stupid this is.

Democrats have turned against the USA gold medal hockey team and taken the side of the Ayatollah. Quite a week for them.

This is by far the best post I think I’ve ever seen on X.

Canadians will never go bankrupt due to medical treatment. They will die waiting to see doctors, yes. Over 16,000 will be killed via MAID annually for conditions including diabetes and depression. But they won’t be charged a dime, beyond 50% of our income in perpetuity.

Unrealized gains tax for Gen-Z: You buy a Pokémon card for $50. Someone offers you $500 for it. You say no. You love that card. You're keeping it. The government says: "Cool, but that card is worth $500 now. You owe us $100 in taxes." You: "…I didn't sell it." Government: "Don't care. Pay up." You don't have $100 lying around. So you're forced to sell the card you love just to pay a tax on money you never received. Next month? That card drops back to $50. Your card is gone. Your money is gone. And the government shrugs. That's a wealth tax on unrealized gains. They don't pay you back the tax... Now picture this. Your mom calls you crying. She has to sell the house she raised you in. Not because she can't afford it. She's lived there 30 years. It's paid off. But some website says it's worth more now and the government says she owes $15,000 she doesn't have. So she sells your childhood home. The kitchen where she made you breakfast. The doorframe where she marked your height every birthday. Gone. To pay a tax on money that was never real. Now picture the opposite. Your dad put everything into his small business. For 20 years he built it from nothing. One year the business is "valued" at $2 million on paper. He owes a massive tax bill. He empties his savings. Sells his truck. Borrows money. Pays it. Next year the market crashes. His business is worth $200,000. He lost everything to pay a tax on a number that doesn't exist anymore. Does the government give him his money back? No. Does the government give him his truck back? No. Does the government care? No. They sold this idea as "taxing billionaires." But billionaires have armies of lawyers, offshore accounts, and trusts. They'll be fine. You know who won't be fine? Your mom. Your dad. Your neighbor with a small business. The farmer down the road who's had the same land for four generations and now has to sell it because dirt got expensive. You're not taxing wealth. You're taxing people for owning things. It's like getting a parking ticket for a car you might drive somewhere someday. They want you to own nothing and be happy. To fund the fraud, waste and abuse of the welfare state they created. There is enough money. More tax isn't needed. It's all a lie. But you've been gaslit into believing this is a rich vs poor debate. I hope you understand what's at stake.

@mhmck Where do you come up with this crap?

On average, Canadians have a better quality of life and enjoy greater political freedom than Americans. There is less violence in public life – a benefit of "Peace, Order and Good Government." It's important to consider these things given threats of annexation by the USA.

@peepeeLEpuke 🤮🐱

Me too

@ericnuttall Additionally, accelerated depreciation has been a significant tail wind for project development in the US

@ericnuttall Eric, great conversation. Do you want government intervention or subsidies to help future builds? Or just for the government to get out of the way? The US has done great things the past year is reducing regulation and allowing projects to move quickly.

@RealLiveAxel @David_J_Bier These are not serious people

@David_J_Bier It's deeply ironic that these people have created, and are enforcing, a border.

What. No. Do not do this.

This cartoon I made offers a rough outline of my recent political "journey" that I've been on while standing completely still.

@sweatystartup No place in the world has the economic mobility the US has. One can go from poverty to significant wealth in a fraction of your life.

People don’t want to admit it but the USA is a meritocracy. If you have: - energy/work ethic - a sense of urgency - communication skills - ability to lead/delegate You will get rich. Any background, any city or town, any culture, any race. People know it but don’t want to admit it because it takes away their excuses and makes them feel worse about their failures.

Very interesting theory of American democracy. When the left wins an election, they get to do whatever while in power. If the right wins an election the left gets to riot against anything they dislike & the right has to do whatever the left wants to stop the rioting

@EWErickson @KurtSchlichter 💯

How many more Americans will die before the government of Minnesota does what the majority of other states do and simply cooperates with federal immigration authorities to deport detained illegal aliens? Minnesota would rather Americans die than illegal aliens get deported.
