Yes, this is real, and we are not ready for what’s coming in the next 10 years.

@IdunsDaughter @jeremyct I don't.
I propose that the OP stop whining about everything and choose a productive, useful life.
Problem solved.

My wife and I got into it last night about the grocery bill.
I pulled up an old Target order from February 2020.
28 items. $64.50.
Added every single one back to the cart just to see.
$158.30.
Same 28 items. Same store. Same cart.
$93.80 more.
In five years.
We didn’t buy more.
Didn’t upgrade anything.
Didn’t add a single extra item.
Just needed the same things we always needed.
They told us inflation was transitory. They told us it was under control. They told us the economy was strong.
Our cart didn’t get any of those memos.
145% increase in five years.
Not one member of Congress has looked at a grocery receipt in decades.
And it shows.

Charlie Kirk wasn't shot with a bullet he was accidentally decapitated with a piece of shrapnel from the miniature explosive in his microphone.
The explosive was supposed to blow out his chest and make the 30-06 by the patsy Tyler Robinson a no-brainer explanation and open-and-shut-case, but it malfunctioned and hit his neck.
This is why security immediately rushed to remove the devices involved, the security camera from behind Charlie was removed, they literally stole his body, Netanyahu immediately claimed it wasn't Israel and it took so long for the FBI to locate hte killer and the entire narrative was so obviously fake. They knew it went sloppy and had to rush to manufacture evidence to match the narrative.
The explosive was purchased in May 2025 from the Accurate Energetic Systems plant in Tennessee in a deal likely brokered by Deputy Secretary Of Defense Steve Feinberg and tested at Fort Huachuca in the days leading up to Charlie's death.
This is why there were pieces of glass in the van they hauled Charlie away in and why they had to pour several feet of concrete over the murder scene. There are probably still remnants from the explosive on the row of hats that were in front of Charlie.
They then blew up the Accurate Energetic Systems a month later to cover up all the evidence and killed 16 people in the process.
Little known fact, the month Charlie Kirk died Pete Hegseth bought that 2 million in lobster and crab and the United States military spent $300 billion dollars, the most it's ever spent in one month.
They were already planning the ground invasion. The war with Iran literally started the day he died; he was the wars first casualty.
Post by @GoUncensored - I agree with every last bit of it.

@IdunsDaughter @jeremyct You're not tracking...
All the OP does is whine.
I've never seen any sort of solution from him for any of the stuff he whines about.
English

@MiaForTrump You're spectacularly unaware of how things work in DC, and clearly haven't been paying attention the last couple years.
It.
Will.
Never.
Pass.
Write.
That.
Down.

@IdunsDaughter @jeremyct I'll ask you the same question: What's your point?
English

@AnneOnimus @jeremyct Nonsense.
We are where we are because of both parties and their fanatical resolve to always do what's best for them, not us.
English

@jeremyct Democratic policies led to this. We need to stop spending$

@ewarren What a crybaby you are, Lizzie.
Did you donate your $12,000,000 to "...Massachusetts families and communities the help they've earned?"
No?
Shocker.

@CENTCOM Good.
...and remember, this is what they show us.
Imagine what they really have.
English

Yesterday, using multiple one-way attack surface drones, CENTCOM forces successfully struck a submarine and ship maintenance facility in Iran. Three Corsair unmanned surface vessels hit the port at Bandar Abbas Naval Base, marking the first time American forces have employed sea drones in combat operations. Last night’s strikes degraded Iran’s ability to continue attacking commercial shipping.
English

@ewarren Does this mean you'll put your money where your mouth is and use your $12,000,000 to build 48 $250,000 homes for tbe poor?
Or are you going to just keep it and continue to ammass wealth unimaginable to tbe average American?

@Dalrymple Because Seattle is currently being run and poorly managed by a bunch of lunatics who think they can tax their way out the problems they have created.
English

@Crypto_Estates @FischerKing64 No, they moved out of Seattle to get away from the oppressive to business policies and ridiculous social policies.

You guys are funny. I don’t even live there and those giants moved closer to DC for proximity to Fed regulators. Everybody know that.

New York City had a head start of several hundred years. Also - Seattle is in the process of castrating itself. Boeing isn’t headquartered there any longer. Starbucks is going to Tennessee. Amazon shifted to DC. The leaders of the city fumbled things. It could have been huge.
Jim Dalrymple II@Dalrymple
Spent a few days in Seattle and wondered: Why isn't this place New York City? Temperate weather (compared to the East), a big port, plentiful natural resources, big tech sector, etc. Seems the PNW should be a tier A global economic powerhouse.

@jeremyct Your friend is an entitled whiner.
That house was never his.
English

My friend’s boomer dad sold the lake house last year.
The one they grew up in every summer.
The one my friend has a tattoo inspired by.
The one with the dock they built together with their grandfather’s tools that are now also gone.
Sold it without telling anyone.
My friend found out when a stranger posted a photo of it on Instagram with a renovation reveal.
New owners painted it white.
Took the dock out.
Put up a privacy fence.
His dad said he needed the liquidity.
Made $340,000 on a property he paid $48,000 for in 1991.
Didn’t offer my friend a dollar of it.
Said the market was right and it made financial sense.
My friend is 34.
Still renting.
Watched $340,000 in potential generational wealth get converted into his dad’s retirement fund.
The lake house wasn’t just a house.
It was the closest thing they had to something being passed down.
Now it’s just someone’s content
English

@jeremyct You pay yourself first - tax free, then live on what's left. You've got things backwards.
Shocker.
English

I’ll say it again.
If you invested $500 a month from age 22 to 65 in an S&P 500 index fund you’d retire with roughly $2,600,000.
Most people aren’t doing this.
Not because they’re irresponsible.
Because after rent, groceries, insurance, student loans and a car payment there is no $500 left.
The advice is correct.
The math just doesn’t leave room for it.
That’s not a personal failure.
That’s a structural one.
English

My boomer dad worked one job for 31 years.
Same company. Same desk. Same commute.
Retired with a pension, a paid off house, and enough saved to never worry again.
He told me last Easter that my generation lacks commitment.
I’ve had one job for 4 years.
They’ve restructured twice.
Froze salaries once.
Changed my benefits package three times.
And just announced they’re “exploring automation options” in my department.
The commitment was never the issue.
The company stopped deserving it.
English

@jeremyct Pretty stupid for a guy who built a business.
BTW: no $2MM business has 40 employees.
Do better with your made up stories next time, eh?
English

My friend’s dad built a business from nothing.
30 years. Blood and sweat. Turned it into something worth $2,000,000.
Sold it in 2019 to a private equity firm.
They gutted it in 18 months.
Cut 40 jobs.
Raised prices 35%.
Eliminated the pension plan he’d built for his employees.
Squeezed every dollar out and sold the carcass.
He calls it the worst decision he ever made.
Said he thought they’d protect what he built.
Private equity doesn’t buy businesses to run them.
They buy them to harvest them.
And they’re doing it to every industry you depend on daily.

@jeremyct Thats not how insurance works. She'd have hit her max out of pocket and been done with it.
English

My mom had a heart attack at 59.
Spent 4 days in the hospital.
Walked out with a bill for $112,000.
Insurance covered $94,000.
She owed $18,000.
She’s been paying $200 a month for 6 years.
Still owes $4,400.
A heart attack nearly killed her twice.
Once in the hospital.
Once when the bill arrived.
