Every country on planet Earth is built on conquest. Every “indigenous” tribe claimed its land by conquest. Every line on the map, across every continent and every ethnic group, was drawn by conquest. Apologizing for this is like apologizing for gravity.
Lost in reality@RedstateDem86

@MattWalshBlog I think a day acknowledging that they're country, like ours, was built on conquest and genocide and that native populations are not seeing the fruits of the new country is a good thing.

@martyrdison Finding a man with money isn’t hard. Finding a man who will be a great father is harder. But what’s REALLY hard is finding those things in a man who is over 6’ + in shape. So if you want ALL of those things, be prepared to be a sweet, smart, funny, perfect 10 MODEL.

girls, it’s not that hard to find a man with money new millionaires are being created every day. if an easy life is what you’re after, there are plenty of men who can provide that what’s rare is finding a man who will be a great father the question isn’t “how much money does he have?” it’s asking when life gets hard, will he show up for you? will he show up for your children? will he put his family before himself? no amount of money is worth compromising on that

If you give a politician $5 to influence a vote, it’s bribery. If billionaires spend $50 million to influence an election, it’s legal. That is what a corrupt campaign finance system looks like.

Payroll taxes go to social security and Medicare, which are wealth transfer systems since high earners pay in more than they will ever get back. The rest you’re saying are “regressive” because everyone pays the same rate. You’re being intellectually dishonest because your entire worldview is “someone has more than me so that gives me the right to take it.”

Hello @JeffBezos, since you question the results of our studies on the unfairness of the US tax system, please allow me to remind you of the main conclusions of our work, the most comprehensive research to date on this issue.
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos

Yes, the United States has the most progressive tax system in the world. The top 1% pay 40% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay 3% of taxes. We can make it even more progressive by zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. It’s a small amount of the total tax revenue but very meaningful to people in this group.

4 beer company CEOs walked into a bar The CEO of Budweiser ordered a Bud Light. The CEO of Miller ordered a Miller Light. The CEO of Coors ordered a Coors Light. The CEO of Guinness ordered a Coke. The first three asked the CEO of Guinness why he didn't order a Guinness, to which he replied: "I figured if you 3 weren't ordering beer it would be rude for me to."

@MarkLevineNYC You could always short the company if you think the lack of transparency and whatever else you’re complaining about will hurt shareholders.

Allow me to educate you on how capital markets work, Councilmember. When SpaceX goes public and joins the S&P 500 our pension funds will own it through indexing. That will make our City workers and retirees major shareholders. (We have over $80B in index funds.) My job will be to fight for our shareholder rights. It will not be good for us—or capital markets—if there is no independent board, no ability to fire the CEO, no right of shareholder judicial action etc etc. You are free to bow down to Elon Musk, Councilmember. I serve no one but NYC’s employees and retirees.
Hon. Vickie Paladino@VickieforNYC

Why is the comptroller threatening to tank the public pension fund because he doesn’t like Elon Musk? The only question of whether to invest pension money in a stock is ‘will this make more money for pensioners’. That’s it. That’s your fiduciary responsibility as a comptroller. Anything else is a breach of trust. Retirees want to know their money is growing, not that you’re using the funds they worked hard for their entire lives are being used to play stupid political games.

@malcolmkenyatta Anything I don’t agree with is corrupt and racist. Anything I do agree with is fine, even if it’s objectively corrupt and racist.

Why are some of you afraid of competition in the WR room? @obj knows a spot isn't a 🔒. If he's on the roster he earned it and everybody's better. I say let him compete! @BleavNetwork clip here👇🏾youtu.be/xvB7jmNWUEM?si…

Socialists: “Rich people didn’t earn their wealth and don’t deserve it.” Ok, then by that standard, why would anyone else deserve that wealth instead? What did they do to earn it? If earning isn’t the basis of ownership, then “deserve” just becomes a synonym for political preference and envy. At that point, property rights disappear and whoever has power decides who keeps what by whim.

If you believe free speech is for you but not your political opponents, you're illiberal. If no contrary evidence could change your beliefs, you're a fundamentalist. If you believe the state should punish those with contrary views, you're a totalitarian. If you believe political opponents should be punished with violence or death, you're a terrorist.

Yeah, before we invented capitalism, you could just go frolic in the woods! Berries would pick themselves. Deer would stroll right up, look you in the eye and say “You look hungry,” then politely off themselves at your feet. The birds would fly up and cook the deer for you. Trees would topple over and conveniently assemble themselves into perfect little log cabins. It was paradise.
S.🎧@1ssve

Capitalism makes quitting your job feel like risking your life, because it ties your basic survival needs to staying employed. This system is predatory.

No NBA player is 100,000,000 times better at playing basketball than I am. They stole from me with their balling.

@BigMeanInternet @DKThomp @jdcmedlock Yes. If entitlement is based on productivity, then billionaires have things they aren't entitled to. Whether you want to call it "theft" or not is a rhetorical choice, but the idea that what they have really is theirs and they should just "give back" is actually indefensible.

“housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits”. Bc saying “evicting people who don’t pay their rent” is too honest. Housing should just appear, for free. Or by forcing @elonmusk to sell all his Tesla and SpaceX shares to fund govt spending… for 2 weeks.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

Someone can certainly *make* a billion dollars. That’s not the same thing as earning. Growing fast and disrupting markets also often means chasing and wielding market power, political influence, and scale. Take Airbnb. They heavily lobby politicians against passing housing laws to protect working class residents because it’s bad for their business model. Airbnb could not exist at its current scale and size without the housing market destabilizations, displacements, and exploits that are supercharging the evictions of working people everywhere from Puerto Rico to Jackson Hole. Now young people are planning for a future where they will never be able to afford to own a home while others have 20 and live off renting it out to them at extortionate rates with zero protections. Yes, a tiny amount of people can make billions of dollars doing that. And millions of everyday Americans are bearing the cost.
