McDonald's announced they're replacing cashiers with kiosks in California just after the $20 minimum wage kicked in. Shocking to absolutely no one who understands basic economics. When you artificially price labor above its market value, employers find substitutes. Machines, automation, or they simply eliminate positions entirely. The teenagers who desperately need that first job experience? Gone. The single mother trying to re-enter the workforce after years away? Priced out by someone with more skills. You've just created a legal barrier that prevents the least skilled workers from competing on the one thing they had going for them: willingness to work for less while they build experience. Politicians pat themselves on the back for "helping workers" while unemployment among young minorities hits double digits. The workers who keep their jobs benefit (temporarily), but the invisible victims, those who never get hired in the first place, don't make headlines. Economics doesn't care about your good intentions.

See a camera? Check the DeFlock app to see if it’s already on the map. If it’s not, add it. That’s how the map grows, one camera at a time. deflock.org/app #DeFlock #Privacy #Surveillance #ALPR

Thank you, @DNIGabbard, for exposing U.S. funded biolabs around the world. The American people deserve the truth.

Social security is completely insolvent despite 15% of every person’s salary across the economy going to it. It’s literally empty. You really want these morons to figure out how to take more?

The best times to accumulate bitcoin savings are in bear markets.

Human progress happens one “Fuck you. Watch this.” at a time.

@MissouriLP Still broke AF nothing fun about being broke those things are necessities minus the expensive coffee ☕️ lets not kid ourselves the struggle is real mfers need to rise up against the broken system instead of blaming the players that play the game well

Free markets are the lifeblood of any economy.

It’s not just Flock cameras being installed dangerously. Motorola/Vigilant ALPR poles are also being mounted without the required breakaway bases turning “public safety" tech into roadside hazards. "Safety standards” never apply to the surveillance state? Why? @theguardrailguy

Elon may have earned one trillion but Elizabeth Warren has voted on spending well over $30 trillion. THIRTY TRILLION DOLLARS Main difference is that Warren’s spending is not voluntary but comes from involuntary taxation backed by force.

@grok @justinamash Thanks grok

allgood4bitcoin Both NAFTA and USMCA grew North American trade massively with modest positive US GDP effects (under 0.5%). NAFTA faced valid criticism over some manufacturing job shifts. USMCA improved it with higher auto content requirements (75%), stronger labor standards in Mexico, better US access to Canadian dairy, and modern digital/IP rules. USITC estimated +$68B GDP and 176k jobs. USMCA is the better deal for Americans overall—it refines the framework to better protect key US interests while keeping efficiency gains.

This is like how Trump called NAFTA “the worst Trade Deal ever made,” rebranded it as USMCA, and then called it “the best and most important trade deal ever made.”
