@newphonenewname @Breaking911 fair point on employing less people. but billionaires often pay very little in personal income taxes relative to their wealth by using legal strategies and "loopholes"

JUST IN - Hantavirus ship evacuees to be taken to Netherlands, cruise operator says
English

@amelia_tweetz Remember the Covid cruise ships that kicked off the pandemic in the US
English
I don’t mean to be…dark but.
If everyone has hantavirus on that ship, or they’re most likely going to get it, due to the transmission rate
The ship can’t dock..
isn’t everyone on that boat eventually going to die?
So there’s just gonna be a ghost boat floating around like a giant Viking funeral?
What is the plan here?
We got rid of spirit airlines just in time to launch spirit cruise ships? Like what the fuck…?

@amelia_tweetz It’s not looking good you guys time to monitor this situation… x.com/nexta_tv/statu…

‼️ 323 vials containing deadly viruses go missing from a lab in Australia — ABC News Among them, nearly 100 vials contained the Hendra virus (transmitted from horses to humans, with a 57% fatality rate). Two vials contained the hantavirus (spread by rodents, with a 38% fatality rate), and 223 vials contained the lyssavirus (rabies virus, with an almost 100% fatality rate). The most likely cause of the "disappearance" is thought to be the loss of containers during transfer to a new freezer. The Ministry of Health is conducting an investigation.

@twinkiebar76 @amelia_tweetz They set sail on April 1st
English
@amelia_tweetz Considering there’s a 2 week incubation period I’m assuming they have to stay on the ship for 3 weeks to make sure no one has it 🤷♀️
English
@LawrenceBoakArt @amelia_tweetz It’s been more than a week they’ve been sailing around since April 1st..
English
@amelia_tweetz That virus has a very long incubation period, so unless they've been on the ship a very long time, it seems odd how they all got sick so fast.
English
A passenger aboard the cruise ship linked to a suspected hantavirus outbreak, where 3 people have reportedly died and 5-6 others are sick, is crying out for help as the ship remains near Cape Verde. Hantavirus is a rare but serious illness typically spread through contact with rodents or their waste.😷

More people need to read the literary classics surrounding dystopian societies. Orwell 1984, Huxley Brave New World, Bradbury Fahrenheit 451, Orwell Animal Farm to name a few. Subjects once thought to be fiction only, now are popping up in current society.

@Ovata_XO Thanks for the conversation! I appreciate your point of view and I’m not above changing my mind, being proven wrong, or admitting when I’m wrong. You made me look at things from another perspective and I appreciate it! Thoughtful and refreshing. Have a great day!!
English
Appreciate it and no worries. I understand your point, and knew that respond actually demanded a respectful response.
I loved your respons. May i agree with all your points and every single thing you believe in or eupport? No. What i appreciate and respect is your candor. What you belive is not completely correct . What i believe is not correct. What ANYONE believes is not core, no one is omniscient and correct, yet we can form our own beliefs and stand by thoss beliefs. Not the traditional, you believed and spoke your opinion about something I disagree with so obviously you are the enem beliefs. Retarded, and wrong. Let me hate you for all your wrongness, ect, ect, im correct... Dumbass psychologically emotional responses omitting the rational/logical psychological thought process that separates the two most prominent thought processes that separate XY chromosome (Male sex, traditionally aligned with rational/logical understanding and viewing of reality and functioning of the world and the hormone testosterone) and female chromosomes (XX topically favoring the love and emotional care taking hormone estrogen. Both hormones are Important yet exist in both sexes and have different important functions and uses within each sex.
Apologize for the tangent or asinine drivel I may have got into, but respectful discourse and condor is rare nowadays. I appreciate, and respect when the opportunity presents it self.
Note: On rereading this post I saw you mention the Met Gala. An event I never care about, nor follow. Is a funny thing to see that it continues to be an "important" thing that ostracized nor people yet souls that celebrate spending... ignore... buy. Goodbye

@Greeney17595412 @Breaking911 Maybe the billionaires paid her to do it!
English
@astrocryptoddy @Breaking911 She started a conversation after paying $150,000 for her ticket. 😂
Seems more like the millionaires are jealous of the billionaires. How many billionaires are there? Maybe these Hollyweird assholes could put their money where their mouth is and not ask for so much money.

A wedding meant to celebrate love quickly turned into a heated debate when a guest named Blair showed up in a floral dress and was asked to leave. What followed wasn’t just an awkward family moment, but a viral discussion about where the line really is when it comes to wedding etiquette. For some, it was obvious: the dress had too much white, and in many traditions, that’s a boundary guests are expected to respect.
Others saw it completely differently. To them, it was clearly a summer floral outfit, nothing remotely close to a wedding gown. They argued that intent matters, and Blair wasn’t trying to overshadow anyone. The disagreement highlights something deeper: how unspoken social rules can vary wildly depending on perspective, culture, and personal expectations.
Then there’s the family side of the story. Blair says several of her friends supported her, suggesting the reaction may have been more about underlying tensions than just the dress itself. And that’s what makes situations like this so relatable, sometimes it’s not really about what you’re wearing, but everything else that’s been left unsaid.

A simple trip to Walmart turned into a viral moment when a Texas shopper noticed something that didn’t sit right. While browsing “clearance” items, he peeled back a yellow “Rollback” sticker—only to discover the original price underneath was actually lower. What was supposed to feel like a deal suddenly felt like the opposite, sparking frustration and a sense that something wasn’t adding up. The video quickly spread, not just because of the surprise, but because it tapped into a broader concern many shoppers already have: can we really trust the discounts we see? Past complaints and even legal challenges, like the class action involving Brenna Ceja, have questioned whether some “original” prices are inflated to make sales look better than they are. For everyday consumers trying to stretch their budgets, that kind of uncertainty hits close to home. At the end of the day, it’s not just about one extension cord—it’s about trust. People want to feel confident that when something is labeled a deal, it truly is one. Moments like this remind us to stay aware, double-check prices when we can, and ask a simple question: are we saving money… or just being told that we are?

American bought her Mazda vehicle for over $30,000. It came with remote start, that was one of the features she really wanted
Now she’s trying to jailbreak her car because the feature has been disabled. Mazda now wants her to pay $10 per month to the remote start
“Are you f*cking kidding me? It's already installed in my car. You want me to now pay you a subscription on top of the $30,000 car that I bought from you? Make that make sense — I bought this car because I wanted push to start. I want it to be able to start my car when I'm not in my car.”
New buyers got a 3 year complimentary trial to use these advanced features. Now that her trial has ended, the Preferred Plan costs $10 per month, $120 per year, for full features including remote engine start and stop
I researched and believe she’s mistaken. The physical push-to-start button inside the car is free. It’s the remote engine start feature via the MyMazda app you just pay for
Still not acceptable. We need to ban making you pay for features in your own car

Greed is a beast and part of the root cause imo. I agree it’s a very serious issue and the gap is getting wider and wider, where does it end? Right now gas is climbing and people with already tight budgets have to figure it out, just to survive and make it to work, just to survive, rinse and repeat. A lot of pain in the comments Ive read today and I understand the outrage and I’m angry as well. To your point wages haven’t increased in decades meanwhile the profit these big corporation are raking in has grown exponentially and so have corporates wages and bonuses, there’s a big disconnect. I’m sure outsourcing, offshoring, and more people competing for the same jobs has an impact. Then add the fact those same jobs haven’t seen any meaningful raises plus inflation. Reading different ppls opinions has made me realize that we all want change, we’re all tried, we’re all angry, but no one knows how we can fix it the systen is too broken. It’s can feel very disheartening but I do believe we can figure it out and eventually will.
English
I don’t have the answer. Whether taxing the super rich is the right thing to do or not.
But what I do know is the gap between the haves and have nots has widened tremendously over the course of my lifetime and that is a problem.
The open market controls wages. If there are millions bidding for the same job, then wages are going to settle at “market rates”. A big issue that many don’t talk about is women competing for these same jobs, the onslaught of foreign labor into the country and the exporting of jobs overseas over the past 25 years.
Before the feminist movement, most women did not work, they raised a family at home. Then all of sudden half of the population of the country is out competing for jobs… again millions competing for the same jobs. Wages have been stagnant for most of my lifetime and most households have to have two wage earners… who takes cares of the kids?
The truth is the labor force has grown much more over the past 60+ years than available jobs. The result is exactly what we have seen and are living through.
With AI now, things are going get even more distorted. Productivity is going to go through the roof and jobs are going to crater.
Don’t know what the fix is here. It’s a serious issue.

I mean I do get it because they always make us pay for everything we’re already taxed into oblivion but in countries with free healthcare they’re taking 40% out of your paycheck. Maybe there is a better solution and as long as they don’t take money out of my check without lowering housing, groceries, etc I wouldn’t mind at all. I do think they need to close the tax loopholes letting billionaires and big corporations steal our taxpayer $$
