FUCK!!!!!!! that's for everyone scared of "bad words" Either use the word or don't but stop with the symbols and shit, fuck!

@MikeHapner @jonbrooks Well a repair tech is trades just like HVAC bit value time? That repair took him at most an hour so even if he valued his time at 600an hour he still saved a ton of money the place was charging him 1000 an hour basically

@jonbrooks That’s because you don’t value your time properly, or your time is lower value than those prices. That’s fine. But, there are plenty of people that will just pay for the convenience / speed / know how Also - refrigerator repair isn’t what they mean by “go into the trades”

Everyone keeps saying “go into the trades.” I get it — but here’s my real experience: Called a local company to fix an icemaker on a 2007 fridge that still runs great. Tech shows up. Takes a picture. Can’t fix it. Charges $99 just for showing up. Then quotes me $1,300 to replace the icemaker. So I do what everyone can do now: I ChatGPT the model number. In 2 seconds: • Exact replacement part • Direct phone number • Cost: $300 Installation? 2 screws. 10 minutes. I’ll do it myself. Same thing happened with my pool heater: Repair guy quoted $2,000. I bought the part directly and fixed it myself for under $200. The problem isn’t the trades. It’s that information asymmetry is gone — and some businesses haven’t realized it yet.

@gilhooee70 @TaraBull Lol 2.13 is still pretty much on par with most current wait staff pay

$2.13 was 20 years ago. They average $10-$12 per hour. Now they don't pay taxes on their first 25k on gratuities. The price of dining out has doubled in the last 5 years making the annual income of an unskilled waitress around 80k a year. So screw 20%. Earn 15% or settle for 10.

"If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to dine out." Thoughts?

@TaraBull Or and here is a thought py your staff better

@MW4Liberty Unpopular truth if you need to merge or file bankruptcy 50 times your business model sucks

Unpopular truth: The JetBlue merger was the stable path. Refinancing, reorganization, consolidation, and efficiency at scale beats insolvency every time. Everyone in the Biden camp cried that we couldn't afford to "lose" a low cost carrier. You mean like we just did?! 💁‍♂️😂

@anymanfitness @coachdeesmith What do you consider a big school my HS was 1600+students 9th-12th grade few played travel

@coachdeesmith The odds of someone not playing travel and being on par skill level with everyone else who is are not good. There may be a few outliers but that doesn’t make it not true. Again, I’m talking big schools, not small or private schools.

Bad news, dude: If your kid doesn’t play travel/AAU they have no chance of playing varsity in high school. Only exceptions would be small, rural schools without many players to choose from. Any decent sized high school, every kid on varsity plays travel.

@ThomasEWoods Yet the merger was blocked by a Republican judge hmmmm

Spirit Airlines didn't need a "federal bailout." It needed the Biden DoJ to allow its merger with JetBlue But the Biden DoJ, like most dopes on TV, thought: mergers mean bigger and bigger means bad Because they know the optimal size an airline should be

@MAGAMAHACindy The war with Iran is driving it

I voted for President Trump three times, and I’d gladly do so again. That said, I have a sincere, question about something I’m genuinely trying to understand. If the U.S. is energy independent, why are gas prices spiking again? They are getting close to the highs we saw under Biden? I know tensions with Iran are playing a role right now, but I thought energy independence was supposed to shield us from these kinds of swings. Can someone explain what’s driving this? I’m not here to criticize Trump, just looking for a clear explanation. Thanks.

@Gringoincharge @user_a49084 @SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M So starting pay for teachers tops out at 46k yet average pay in NC for college grads is around 50k so starting teachers ( meaning fresh college grads) is still 4k under the median so the pay should be raised you are literally giving data showing why it should be

@user_a49084 @SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M Correct I'll attach the average starting salary for a teacher in NC, and then the average starting pay for a college graduate in NC. Seems this bimbo needs to stop whining

Construction worker calls out the North Carolina teachers union for striking today.

@Gringoincharge @SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M That's not even remotely true 😂

@SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M Where in the world did you get the ridiculous idea that you are entitled to buy a house? Up until Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac most people had to save for about a decade before even being considered for a mortgage loan. Entitlement much?

@Gringoincharge @SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M Yes so they are the 23rd state yet 46th in teacher pay meaning the pay should be increased to help match cost of living

@SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M Houses have nearly doubled in most of the country, genius. Meanwhile...

@Gringoincharge @SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M Lol coat of living in NC isn't as low as you think

@SassySouthBlond @DeAngelisCorey @Hersh61M They also have a much lower cost of living than states that pay teachers higher wages

@wea71000 @AllIDoI42240688 @jc2024_jc @DeAngelisCorey So what do you think teachers should make

@AllIDoI42240688 @jc2024_jc @DeAngelisCorey Me too. But that doesn’t mean they deserve a raise.

@wea71000 @jc2024_jc @DeAngelisCorey Underperformers? You mean how NC is the 42nd lowest paid teachers in the country but consistently rank top 30 in education meaning they are actually over performing

It’s one thing to budget for private school and work that into your life and it’s quite another to have a bunch of whiny underperformers walk out on the job and still get paid because they are govt hacks. And before anyone busts my balls over calling teachers underperfomers, just look at student outcomes over the past 10 years. If they worked in the private sector, the company would have gone out of business based on these kinds of results.

@allnewsisbad @jc2024_jc @DeAngelisCorey The teacher is getting paid through the union. Smfh

@jc2024_jc @DeAngelisCorey Did he say he can't afford a day off? His anger seems to be that he needs to work to get paid while teachers get paid either way.

@DeAngelisCorey She is getting paid through the slush fund of the union that she has paid into for years with her membership

@VerticalTrader1 @marcuslemonis @AnnCoulter Explain how it was Democrats

if it was high fuel costs why didn't it go under when fuel costs were higher 3 years ago? also, doesn't an industry so dependent on fuel take a hedged position on energy futures or options just in case fuel costs spike, as they have done repeatedly for the past 4 decades? it's democrats who fucked this up. it always is.

Poor Managment, terrible customer experience and the inability to do a free market deal to collapse redundant costs did it. You know that . But always want to appear more sophisticated @AnnCoulter

@MotowarriorX @rz_tomasz @OunkaOnX Well that's literally what a militia is you know what the us was when we fought great Britain for independence

@rz_tomasz @OunkaOnX Another idiot. Do you know what a military is?? Speed boats with AK 47 and mines is not a military. They have been reduced to level of pirates like the Houthis. I have a speed boat and a lot of guns am I a military too?

Hegseth: "Europe needs the Strait of Hormuz more than we do. Get in a boat. This is their fight, not ours" The US closed the Strait which was open before the war. So, it's now Europe's fight?

@OunkaOnX Aka we caused a problem but don't wanna fix it

@JohnCornyn In those 40 years you have had a couple super majorities so I don't understand that one

The main obstacle is Democrats.

@MrTellYouFacts @rdd147 @shipwreckedcrew I mean you and others think Biden can control those same factors or things like bird flu but go on

@rdd147 @shipwreckedcrew Darn that trump causing....drought and screw worm...nvm all those other facts that guy said

Trump can't make cattle appear that weren't bred three years ago because of Biden Admin policies. It takes 3 years from the date of breeding until that beef lands in a market. We are seeing today the result of a decline in breeding in 2023.
