@middle_class_us Then don’t go…. College NEVER meant an assured high paying job.

You went to college. Took on the debt. Spent 4 years of your life. Now you're making $50K a year if you're lucky enough to have a job. Poverty wages in this economy. College isn't a stepping stone anymore. It's indentured servitude with a diploma on the wall.

@JimmyTraina Those workers need $20/hr

Just paid $13 for one regular pretzel and a small lemonade at Auntie Anne’s. What are we doing? But, like, seriously. What are we doing?

@mikehunt12234 @SleeperAstros @allthesmokeprod Who cares what you believe.

@SleeperAstros @allthesmokeprod you will never get me to believe he didn’t want his teammates ripping his jersey off after a walk off homer because of a half done tattoo… innocent my ass!

Former Astros Manager Dusty Baker spoke on Jose Altuve and the Astros cheating scandal, via the @allthesmokeprod “You know the guy who took the brunt of it was really Jose Altuve, and he was really the most innocent dude there. That really affected me, how he was treated and he didn’t deserve it.”

@JonneyDunn @akafaceUS It’s breaststroke. Arms are below the surface on the pull

@akafaceUS What the hell is that stroke? No arms

Notice how much quicker an Olympic swimmer moves through the water compared to the average person.

@Regina11429371 @aakashgupta WTF does Trump have to do with this?

Colorado just told 1.5 million people they can't water their lawns. The state is still green-lighting AI data centers that each drink as much water as a town of 50,000 people. Reservoirs at historic lows. One Colorado Springs utility has 95,000 acre-feet of total water access. Ten data centers are in line asking for up to 117,000. If every project gets approved, the utility has to more than double its entire water supply. None of those data centers exist yet. The inquiries already exceed what the system holds. On March 16, Governor Polis activated Phase 2 of the state's Drought Response Plan. First time in nearly six years. Nine days later, Denver Water declared Stage 1 drought and put mandatory watering restrictions on 1.5 million customers. First time since 2013. Federal managers ranked this year's snowpack 45th out of 46 years on record. Two days before the Denver Water vote, the only bill that would have required data centers to publicly report water use died in a Colorado Senate committee. The state has 56 small data centers today. QTS Realty Trust is building Colorado's first hyperscale east of Denver. It qualified to build in Aurora because city code now prohibits new evaporative cooling. Denver has no equivalent rule. A single hyperscale pulls as much water as a town of 50,000 people for cooling. The power plants behind it pull more. On-site water use across five Western states is projected at 21,600 acre-feet by 2035. Counting upstream electricity generation, it climbs to 89,700. Xcel projects Colorado data centers will need 8.5 gigawatts by 2040. Roughly another Denver metro's worth of power. Global AI bought 400 acres near Windsor for a campus targeting 1,000 megawatts. Colorado's alfalfa farms used 394 billion gallons last year. The water budget was already overdrawn before the cooling towers came online. Disclosure was the floor. The bill still died.

@aakashgupta What, pot sales isn’t enough to support your economy?

@Hickenlooper Allowing non-citizens to vote is even more Un-American…. But here we are

Having to jump through hoops in order to vote is simply un-American. The SAVE America Act would prevent millions of Americans from voting.

@Michae1Hinrichs @ClownWorld So this is like going to a hotel and on checkout there is an extra charge for providing clean towels and toilet paper. Was there a sign on the front door announcing a service charge? The servers should demand its removal because nobody will tip after that surprise

@ClownWorld It’s not a tip or gratuity. It’s a service charge. So yes, they should have tipped.

@the_jefferymead Misandrist

The stupidity of these feminists. And her video had over 200k likes… Nothing about this idiocy would be good for our country.

@EndWokeness @elonmusk And after that they plan to allow theft and crack sales within city limits

And so it begins… LA City Councilmen Hugo Soto Martinez & Ysabel Jurado have unveiled a plan to let "noncitizens" VOTE in LA elections There are 1.5 million noncitizens in LA 15% of their entire population

@F0ODHub The spoons

Remove one thing from this plate..

@GovTimWalz Notice he said caught, not prosecuted or punished.

If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

@RoKhanna And out of the other side of your mouth is the high cost of living in America….

I co-introduced historic legislation to increase the minimum wage to $25. As someone who taught economics at Stanford, here is why it makes sense. The real minimum wage was $14 in 1968. Today it is half, but productivity has increased 2.5x. Instead of extractive capitalism, we need a free enterprise system that pays workers what they are worth.

@theficouple Imagine if that was CA and they wanted to impose a wealth tax on assets!

Spoke with a couple from Dallas, Tx: Age 39 & 42 and their balance sheet: - Home equity: $395,500 - 401k's: $300,000 - Roth IRA's: $110,000 - Cash: $21,200 - Taxable brokerage: $40,000 ...Can't touch 90% of their wealth and feeling trapped in high stress jobs.

@JillSAnthony Imagine what the cost would be if the Dems and Bernie were running it…. Oh wait, the shelves would be empty!

It’s insane that 3 ribeye at Costco are $99 dollars. Beef has become unaffordable for many Americans and there is no relief in site.

@JillSAnthony What’s your point, Jill?? Yes, things are more expensive every year. Ranchers deserve a living wage, meat cutters need a living wage, truckers, and grocery store workers need a living wage too….

@sgvslowii @foryouillwaitt @NFL_DovKleiman Not even close, Shedur will be starting in the NFL this year

@foryouillwaitt @NFL_DovKleiman Another shedur sanders

Heartbreaking: Vanderbilt star QB Diego Pavia becomes the first Heisman finalist since 2014 to go undrafted. Pavia invited all his friends and family to watch the draft together in hopes of getting a call. The setup for his draft party 😔💔

@NFL_DovKleiman What a ridiculous gift to give his family.

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: New Chiefs rookie DT Peter Woods bought multiple $100,000 Maserati SUVs for his mother and sister after he was drafted. Woods will only make $2.4 million per year after taxes. What an amazing gift to give his family 🥹❤️

@HamptonAc_ $200K salary, and $1K child care, what’s wifey doing?

A friend of mine from college days just bought a house in Katy last year. Makes $200K/year in Texas. Wife and kid. Called me last week like "bro, the economy is actually cooked." I laughed. "you make $200K, man. what you crying about" He then showed me the math... $200K in Texas = $12,800/month take-home > $2,510 mortgage > $620 property taxes (Texas will bleed you quietly) > $350 homeowners insurance > $150 HOA (for a gate, a pond, and a newsletter nobody reads) > $1,800 health insurance for the family > $1,000 daycare for ONE kid > $1,050 groceries > $500 car note > $220 car insurance > $350 utilities > $375 home maintenance Total: $8,925 He's left with $3,875. Then, he still has student loans, date nights and holidays sitting on the side. A decade ago… A quarter of that salary is what somebody needed to buy that same house and raise that same family. Now $200,000 a year and you're still watching your account like something is wrong. The economy is really cooked for 9-5ers

@CodeByPoonam Since when were employees guaranteed a life long career making $200k/yr? You act like they didn’t get paid for the work they did when they were employed

9,000 Microsoft employees did everything right. Top schools. FAANG resumes. $200K salaries. Still got replaced by a line item in an AI budget. Senior engineers. Directors. PMs with FAANG resumes and 15-year careers. The memo called it “voluntary retirement.” Nobody volunteered. Here’s the part nobody’s saying out loud: Microsoft is cutting humans to pay for AI. The same people who built the company are now funding the technology that made them unnecessary. No performance review saves you from a budget decision. This is what the AI transition actually looks like. Not robots. Just a reallocation of spend.
