Ohhhh.... so you're subsidizing PG&E? Got it. Because I have Silicon Valley Power, and I certainly haven't received any utility bill credits. This is the real oligarchy at work. Gavin gets his friends subsidies, they return them in the form of lobbying and campaign donations, he helps push through regulations which keep things nice and anti-competitive. And you ALL fall for it.

California is sending $520 million in utility bill credits to millions of households to help fight against Donald Trump's cost-raising agenda. With our California Climate Credit, we're putting money back in Californians' pockets and taking real action against the climate crisis.

@theficouple Pay off the house in two steps: pay extra principal minus an emergency fund in savings, then pay off from monthly cash flow over the next few months while also putting 10 - 15% after expenses into investments

Let’s say you had $132,000 in the bank. But you also have a $132,000 mortgage at 4.8%. Would you invest the money in the stock market or pay off the house?

What sucked as a child but is awesome as an adult?

@LostFederalist @MartinShkreli @RoKhanna I will chip in. Let's do this.

@MartinShkreli @RoKhanna If you manage to get him out of Congress. I’ll buy you a Wu Tang album on vinyl

a number of people have called me about @RoKhanna. Ro portrays that he is a clean dude. he is not. receipts will be posted. be patient. the dossier must be immaculate.

@hotahotasa45082 At this point, I'm not sure *what* Tucker is... but we lost him a while ago for sure.

@ForgiatoBlow47 Yea but we need to bring in smart technical and hard science talent from abroad, plus kids who go through Universities here we shouldn't toss out if they are highly educated with useful skills. I think the H1-B system needs reform but not elimination.

PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS ANNOUNCED HE WILL BE REMOVING ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS FROM SOCIAL SECURITY. ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF THIS?

@OC_Scanner True. I don't get the appeal of suicidal empathy, but it seems to have a strong pull. Especially on the West Coast

@devsysape Because liberals act only on emotions and what makes them feel good not actually facts or the law.

#BREAKING: Once again a Democratic California Governor candidate attempts to implode their own campaign. You can’t make this shit up.

@anothercohen It's not Slack .. it's Salesforce

I'm tempted to finally churn off Slack. We're paying ~$6k/year for 40 people and they just quoted me $21k/year for the business version that includes a BAA (and all the shitty AI features). Incredibly overrated software

"A citizen of Wyoming should have a vote that is worth 6 times less than that of a citizen of California" would be the net effect of eliminating the Electoral College, which, by the way, will NEVER happen. We live in Republic not a Democratic system where the majority can impose tyranny on the few.

It’s not a democracy.

@mtmalinen You think Europe, Russia, China have been pro-US this whole time? No, bro.. I learned that Wuope hated tha US after I saw how you guys reacted after 9/11. Screw Europe.

What if the whole script flips and Europe, Russia, China, and Iran eventually go against U.S. and Israel?

@Govindtwtt You're based in India... not sure what your point is. Your generation had far more opportunities than the "Boomers" there, if there was such a population. Personally I think you're trying click bait to foment generational friction in the US.. in which case, go away.

Boomers: I bought my house at 24 Gen Z: I’m 28 and split rent with 3 roommates and 4 side gigs This isn’t generational laziness. It’s generational robbery.

Actually that's fair and I didn't consider that the basis here - that your corporate property tax base is set - is wrong because most successful companies make improvements or expansions, so Prop 13 allows for an assessment. Apple has a lot of buildings - is the $8.7M number just for the spaceship or in total? Ether way it is literally NOTHING to them. They probably spend more in landscaping and security.

@devsysape @IceTheAxeMan @RoofKorean7 Apple pay’s $8,699,689.82 a year in property taxes for just its campus.

Prop 13 has always been in the Democrat crosshairs to increase property taxes for long term residents. Tom wants to fuck over California's senior citizens to raise taxes on the most financially vulnerable.

@YouknowTheguy3 @ChrisMartzWX Everyone does - "registration" is simply a property or use tax. I pay $700 per year for two cars. Robbery!!

@ChrisMartzWX You're not wrong... But I bet this guy lives in Virginia or some other state, where they have to pay an annual vehicle tax based on the value of your car... 🙄

Anyone who thinks that the property tax is wonderful AFTER YOU HAVE PAID THE LOANS OFF, is a retard! You should not have to pay RENT to the government forever. You should be able to actually own your house and cars.

@kiely_tn @ChrisMartzWX I pay state taxes. State should distribute tax money based on district population and needs. Property taxes are theft.

@ChrisMartzWX I could understand a continued tax on property since you are still using roads and supporting schools. But upon full retirement it should be reduced to your federal income tax level, eg in TN I’d pay around 18% of my full bill.

@I_Am_The_ICT Thank you, ICT! Have a wonderful evening.

@StilettoRadio @DataRepublican Fair

@devsysape @DataRepublican When it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Before 2016, I would have definitely signed up for a group/event that sounds like this because I believe it is true. The past 10 years has proven it to be a beautiful sounding lie. We can't go back. Only forward.

🧵🚨 THREAD: Charlie Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University. Within TWO HOURS, leaders of 7 "bridge-building" organizations assembled on a conference call. Why so fast? Because UVU was THEIR campus. 🚨 This is Maury Giles, incoming CEO of Braver Angels, admitting on camera at the National Conference on Citizenship: "Within two hours of the assassination, a group of us, all Utahns, we gathered on a call. We'd become friends over the last 5 years through our work in the community. And we also happen to be leaders in seven different national organizations that work in civic renewal." Two hours. Seven national organizations. But this wasn't a spontaneous reaction to a tragedy. This was a network protecting its home turf. Because UVU wasn't just the place where Kirk was shot. It was the institutional center of the entire bridge-building / Dignity Index apparatus... and had been for years. And the kicker? These seven national organizations don't hide their own intent: replicate color revolution tactics in the United States. And, yes, that includes MWEG - Mormon Women for Ethical Government. I have the receipts... they all admitted this on camera. As always, patience as I pull together the thread. 👇

As much as I hate Gavin Newsom, to be totally fair the real problem is the 30 super-majority communists in the State Senate who think that their personal war against "Big Oil" is more important than the citizens of their districts they "represent", and so if there are casualties and discomfort.. well, who cares? It's war, right? They're just doing what they think is ideologically important. Would love to start voting them out, but strangely enough they make laws ensuring their power will not be in jeopardy. Until there is universal in-person, voter-ID and regularly purged voter rolls, we don't stand a chance unless _maybe_ we pull together a march on Sacramento like they're doing in Ireland and *demand* change. But.. people here are too stupid to do it. They think the purpose of their State government is to focus on their woke virtuosity and the evil that is in D.C., Trump, who has frankly never done a darn thing to affect their actual lives. Pathetic.

Texas gas price: 3.59 CA gas price: 6.11 CA’s Governor is the PROBLEM!

@lobotomy_user This. And never come back... screw that.

what the fuck am i even supposed to do here

@DataRepublican From their website: "We state our views freely and fully, without fear. We treat people who disagree with us with honesty, dignity and respect. We welcome opportunities to engage those with whom we disagree." This sounded pretty good to me. Was it a trap?

Hold up - I thought Braver Angels was an organization designed to bring together people from both sides to be a bridge between the Left and Right, fostering constructive, respectful conversations and being against the polarization which has happened. I almost joined it.. was I lied to?
