Not even worth voting anymore

Residents of Orlando would have to drive more than 2 hours to reach the southern end of their new congressional district in Glades County. That's how hard DeSantis map-makers had to work to dilute the impact of voters in Orange County and make this district red.

@CodeEdison The idea is a “universal income” where the machines essentially fund our existence. Unfortunately the combination of human greed and the need to “earn what we eat” makes it an unsustainable model.

@TheMaineWonk Allegiant actually reminds me of old-school Southwest. It’s cheap, and honestly I’ve never had any issues with them like I have with other airlines.

The Trump administration is in advanced discussions with budget carrier Spirit Airlines over a bail out worth up to $500 million. In exchange, the government would get warrants that would allow a potentially substantial ownership stake in the airline. cbsn.ws/3QTILn0

Spirit Airlines just handed taxpayers a $500 million ransom note.
The threat is simple: let us die, and the massive monopolies take over. Your cheap weekend flight vanishes, replaced by higher ticket prices ect...
But if the government cuts the check, we aren't rescuing an airline. We’re financing a company that has already bankrupted itself twice. They figured out how to use their own failure as leverage against the American public.
If you run out of money, you lose your house. If an airline runs out of money, the taxpayers buy them a new one.

Salmon exposed to cocaine in the water swim longer distances than those that go without, according to a study released this week. cbsn.ws/48ADVBt

@DougWahl1 No, it just doesn’t make a difference. Americans have been inundated with stories from US outlets about this admin’s corruption and nothing changes.

🚨do you understand what just happened with America's biggest corporations..
Disney made $8.3 BILLION in profit last year.
Federal taxes paid: $0
CVS made $6.57 BILLION.
Federal taxes paid: $0
Tesla made $5.7 BILLION.
Federal taxes paid: $0
Meanwhile Tesla paid China $1 BILLION+ in taxes the same year.
88 corporations. $105 BILLION in US profits. Zero to the IRS.
Instead? The government PAID THEM $4.7 billion in rebates.
You paid more in federal taxes than Walt Disney.
Let that sink in.
> 1950s: corporations funded 1/3 of the federal budget
> 2025: corporations fund 8.6%
It's not illegal. It's not a loophole.
It's the system working exactly as designed.

At least 88 of the largest corporations in America paid no federal corporate income taxes in their most recent fiscal year, per ITEP
