Be suspicious of blue checks. They get paid for engagement. Both the Democratic and Republican parties are wildly corrupt. Beyond most people’s comprehension. The electoral system is broken/corrupt and we’re too brand name dependent as humans. The politicians know these things.

@MLFootball 😂 They averaged 19 points a game and that was with a good D where they had gone all in on FA. OBJ was their only weapon. The OL was bad. Eli was instructed to throw every pass in the dirt if his first or second read wasn’t there as to avoid sacks and turnovers.

“DAD, HOW GOOD WAS THE 2016 NEW YORK #GIANTS FOOTBALL TEAM…?” One of the biggest what-if’s of they had been prepared for the playoffs… 😬😬😬

@bkrmtpv @slsmithdux @Smoore1117 @Ticketmaster *determine pricing

@_Ramble_On_ @slsmithdux @Smoore1117 @Ticketmaster They can lmfao what are businesses gonna do about it? Cease all operations and act like Republican snowflakes and say if I can’t have it all I want none of it? No that won’t happen. They will roll over and accept it.

Went to Ticketmaster right at 4:00 when Sixers tickets “went on sale”. The CHEAPEST seat for Sunday was $348. There’s no such thing anymore as “tickets go on sale at X o’clock.” It’s instantly a resale market. Everyone at @Ticketmaster belongs in jail.

@bkrmtpv @slsmithdux @Smoore1117 @Ticketmaster What I mean is, the government can’t just step in and determine. Things like public utilities have some regulation. But it would be a radical change from capitalism (market value pricing) for the government to dictate pricing on luxury goods and couldn’t be done on a whim.

@IanCarrollShow And notice how all proposed solutions from politicians and media are in the extreme. Anything to avoid recognizing the existence of middle of aisle reasonable solutions that the vast majority would be in favor of. Pretend those don’t exist then no one will ever talk about them.

Both sides are tricked into caricaturizing each other- the left thinks the whole right wing is Ted Cruz and the right thinks the whole left wing is Dylan Mulvaney. In reality the vast majority of regular Americans on both sides are regular and reasonable people. Most people on the left are completely unaware of all the worst and most diabolical fringes of their party. And in my experience- most difference of political opinions is just either side being fooled by their sides propaganda and not having the time to do the research for themselves. The right and left represent two haves of a whole- either one taken to the extreme is destructive- and right now we have both taken to the extreme and intentionally penduluming to keep us all at each other’s throats. What we need is balance, conversation, and solidarity between the rising right and left wing populist movements in the US (and around the whole world)

@IanCarrollShow Bingo.

@DanSchneierNFL @BigBlueGoonie 100%. When healthy Tracy is a weapon.

@BigBlueGoonie I like Singletary. A lot. Think he's good. But this is going to tilt me out into making a Tracy cut up. I strongly disagree with this or any Tracy slander. I feel he's become very underrated by many.

Devin Singletary is better than Tyrone Tracy

@vzmercogliano @Peter_Baugh I can’t support taking defensemen that high unless it’s a Quinn Hughes or Cale Makar. Not even another Adam Fox would want me to take D that high.

Scott's top three remains the same -- wingers Gavin McKenna and Ivar Stenberg and defenseman Chase Reid -- but it's notable that center Caleb Malhotra has risen to No. 4. He's been a big riser lately and a target I could very much see on #NYR's radar.

@jimmy_dore Make the tax system transparent. Centralized website with all candidate and electoral information. Fix tax loopholes first and then decide on a tax rate. Put corrupt government officials in prison and put in laws that punish them more harshly. Just basic no brainer stuff.

@jimmy_dore Fix corrupt healthcare. Create tax funded unbiased news. Eliminate primary elections that get held over the course of months where the results are made public as it goes along and where candidates can drop out in the middle of it. Set congressional term limits…

If Massie can beat back the Billionaire Zionists, his election may be able to change all federal elections going forward. If you want to get Israel’s chokehold off our government & end the crazy wars we’ve been fighting for them at our detriment please support Thomas Massie:

@bkrmtpv @slsmithdux @Smoore1117 @Ticketmaster I used to like skiing too. But that’s a luxury now. But the government can’t step in and say they need to lower prices. That’s just the way it is.

@bkrmtpv @slsmithdux @Smoore1117 @Ticketmaster With the exception of course with Ticketmaster and Live Nation. That’s a monopoly where government intervention is appropriate. But just general teams setting prices for their tickets, that’s up to them. Nothing the government can do there.

@slsmithdux @Smoore1117 @Ticketmaster Same

You’re not required to attend. I’ve been to hundreds of sporting events and concerts in my 56 years. I’ve completely stopped attending . Whether it is because of Ticketmaster or the artist is immaterial to me. I have zero interest spending $$$ for these events. Thus, I do not attend.

@plasticboss Branding and reputation play a part too. Chick-fil-A has a “cool name” and started out with a cult following similar to Wawa. I’ve never heard of “Cook Out”.

So Cook Out stays open until 4AM (everyday). They’ve got a menu with everything: burgers, BBQ, quesadillas, and milkshakes in 40+ flavors. You can make ANYTHING a side (even a corndog). But guess what? They make 20x LESS per location than Chick-fil-A. (Approximately $392k to Chick-fil-A's $9.3M per store) Chick-fil-A Restaurants closes early. They prioritize the Principle of Rest (Sabbath), so they're closed on Sundays (non-negotiable). They offer way fewer items. But they’re the #1 fast-food restaurant in America by revenue per store (4x more than McDonald's and Starbucks). Cook Out = hustling entrepreneur. Chick-fil-A = Strategic CEO. One is grinding every hour, doing everything… and barely scraping by. The other... Works less, earns more, and has people lining up for their product. This is your reminder: You don’t scale by doing more. You scale by doing the right things, better, and with boundaries. Key Takeaway: The grind doesn’t guarantee growth. Margin, mission, and mastery outperform hustle every time. Chick-fil-A isn’t winning because they work more, but because they have a system that works smarter, simpler, and on purpose. That’s the difference between a hustling entrepreneur and a Strategic CEO. One chases more hours and more options. The other builds margin, simplifies operations, and scales with purpose. You don’t need more hustle. You need more intention. This is your sign to stop being Cook Out. Start building your Chick-fil-A.

@TurtizzleLive @dantypo @ohyoudidntknw @MaximumK75753 Also, I personally know a couple of people who were in a tier 2 position and the company was hiring a tier 1 position and the going salary for tier 1 these days is only about 10K less than the tier 2 guys with 10 years experience. So they had to increase their salaries to adjust.

@_Ramble_On_ @dantypo @ohyoudidntknw @MaximumK75753 But that's not the way it works. In Canada, the min wage has gone from around $7/hr to almost $18 in less than 20 years. Not once when it increased did anyone I knows salary also increase commensurate with that increase. Not once.

Am I the only one who still views minimum wage as gas money for your car and movie tickets for you and your date while you gain work experience in high school or at the bookstore in college? When did it become a career wage?

@TurtizzleLive @dantypo @ohyoudidntknw @MaximumK75753 But it’s not going to happen instantly. It takes time for companies to react and they’re going to resist increasing salaries for as long as possible. But eventually it will happen.

@dantypo @ohyoudidntknw @MaximumK75753 But this would help increase salaries overall. Nobody would work a more intensive job for $45K-$50 a year if a cashier can make $20/hr with experience. And if entry level salaries are at $55-$65K then that would bump everyone else up as it should.

@dantypo @ohyoudidntknw @MaximumK75753 About $15 an hour because that’s what minimum wage adjusted for inflation is. You’re correct, nobody should try to live on minimum wage/$15-$20 an hour…

@mtracey Maybe it has something to do with the food being the lowest quality and it’s not even cheap anymore.

NYT covers the recent struggles of NJ diners. Of course I've been to the first one profiled: Summit Diner in Summit, NJ. Classic little spot! nytimes.com/2026/05/02/nyr…
