Jeff Bezos paid $500M for his super-yacht and $75M for his super-yacht’s mini-yacht — both of which he’s allowed to write-off on his taxes.
That alone would cover $180 in classroom supplies for every public school teacher in the U.S.

Bezos on CNBC: "You could double the taxes I pay, and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens. I promise you."

@JeffBezos Not a bad idea - permanently shut up those idiots whose only thought is peddling the “pay your fair share” bullshit.
English
Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

Facts It's great that Jeff Bezos thinks this way, because too many people who don't make money think that giving money to the government will solve a lot of their problems. They think these government programs are the answer, and it's clearly not. You can look at the federal level or at the state level, and you will see that a lot of government programs are simply waste.

@SwipeWright Hunter is gonna get the Dem nomination for 2028. And he will be very hard to beat, if Marco Rubio is the candidate.

@zakeson @netanyahu This is the kind of bot you need to look into, Mr. prime minister.
English
@netanyahu Mumu like you doesn’t even understand the law, what he understand is to fight a clueless genocide war against unarmed civilians. You have no humanity to stand against any court of law

Today I instructed my legal advisers to consider the harshest legal action against The New York Times and Nicholas Kristof.
They defamed the soldiers of Israel and perpetuated a blood libel about rape, trying to create a false symmetry between the genocidal terrorists of Hamas and Israel’s valiant soldiers.
Under my leadership, Israel will not be silent.
We will fight these lies in the court of public opinion and in the court of law.
Truth will prevail.

@Noahpinion Don’t you think she is way too extreme? Never saw her talk like you do, for example.

AOC has some wacky beliefs but so did Reagan. She's the only Dem with charisma.

Xi Jinping: Crude Certainty, Catastrophic Consequences I had dinner last night with a friend who runs one of Europe’s leading think tanks. We talked about Xi Jinping, and I shared my core assessment of him. open.substack.com/pub/desmondshu… I wrote this not merely as a critique of Xi. My goal is to make it a useful framework for guesstimating how he may react to different situations and where he may lead China in the coming years — or, perhaps, decades. 😝

@jbulltard1 The question is, why should the rich be punished by paying more taxes? These people are so dumb. It’s not even about political debate.
English
I'm happy to see this,we're overtaxed all over the country. It's exhausting hearing ppl say the rich don't pay their fair share.Between income taxes, property taxes, sales taxes, gasoline taxes,etc We prob pay like 60%+. #taxthepoor or cut spending

@jbulltard1 @rushicrypto Not just that… these people have no idea how the world works - they think homelessness and hungry kids are personal finance issues…
English
I mean… even that is more OK to me - think of Tucker and Candace, who do exactly what you described. But at least they try to paint their content with reasons and what they think are truth.
But Bernie, AOC, or Liz Warren? No single attempt to justify what and how they mean… it’s just so sad that these kind of people have a platform.

@danorweihan @PeterSchiff @SenSanders It's as if a foreign enemy is trying to convince Americans that things are terrible.
English
The reality of American life today: Jeff Bezos, worth $290 billion, spent:
$10 million on the Met Gala
$120 million on a penthouse
$500 million on a yacht
Meanwhile, he‘s planning to throw 600,000 Amazon workers out on the streets and replace them with robots.
Unacceptable.
English
@PeterSchiff @SenSanders Good argument… but forget about brains and politics for a minute. The central theme these parasites propagate is always based on negativity - there is not one single thing being portrayed as prosperous, productive and positive.
English
@SenSanders Yes, but Bezos employs over 1.5 million people at Amazon. That’s a lot of jobs he created, even after some layoffs. How many jobs have you created? For all the value Bezos has provided his customers and employees, he deserves a yacht. What value have you provided to anyone?

@centralkingdom @neilthomas123 @ForeignAffairs @shuizaiping2 @JonathonPSine Man I don’t know you’re truly stupid or just trolling… anyways… good luck.
English
I have just debunked your claim that all the higher up officials in ccp were Xi's clique with concrete evidence. You are just repeating a superficial blanket claim that shown a lack of knowledge and understand of the PRC/CCP operations and how it evolved. Again, anyone can access Jonathan's database and see for themselves of the mechanism at work while you are here spewing bullshit.
English
Why is Xi Jinping purging so many people?
The standard explanation is simple: power. He is crushing rivals to stay in office.
That's not wrong but it's incomplete. Xi is trying to help the CCP rule forever.

Man… you don’t know shit about China. You think Politburo level politics is determined by seniority? How about Jiang Zemin? Was Wen Jiabao the most senior when he became premier? Did Wang Zhaoguo get stuck for 2 decades, despite people in his position usually promoted to the Politburo Standing Committee? The selection was determined by party elderly, then there was skip generation collective decision, till recently your Xi daddy changed all that. Right, CCP is a bunch of thugs who stay peasants forever, no rule is the rule.
English
After a whole 30 years in 青海, Zhao Leji was party boss of Shannxi in 2008 to 2012, a whooping 4 years before becoming 组织部长 in 2012. At the same time, Xi was in Shanghai. How does that make him his clique? Li Xi has no connection to Xi Zhongxun other than his first boss was also from the same province as Xi and may have accompany him visiting elder Xi during the early years while Xi himself was somewhere else. That is bullshit connection. And almost all cadres have degrees from Tsinghua and the likes, that aren't conclusive. You are just reaching with bullshit. Wang HuNing has been the advisor to Jiang since mid 90s. He is more SENIOR than Xi.
English
@centralkingdom @neilthomas123 @ForeignAffairs @shuizaiping2 @JonathonPSine Are you retarded? Zhao Leji was Party Boss of Shaanxi, Li Xi was connected through Xi’s daddy, and had a fake degree from Tsinghua, like his dear boss. Wang Huning is from Shandong.
English
I thank @JonathonPSine for this wonderful database. From the PBSC, 赵乐际‘s root is in Qinghai, 王沪宁 is more senior than Xi and entered central gov way before he did, 李希 has no career connection with Xi at all other. I don't even need to go into PB to debunk your foolishness.

@SwipeWright Or this thought experiment from Stephen C Meyer. Suppose you break down a plane into individual pieces, then let a group of monkey to work on the pieces. Do you think they’ll ever achieve anything functional (not to mention a plane) given enough time?

You can't explain a complex mystery by invoking a much bigger and more complex mystery.
