@90bycats @theficouple Yeah now take out 6-7k more in property tax people in Texas pay, and account for much worse schools and more expansive healthcare there, and then do the math again. 🤡

What a $250,000 salary becomes after tax: - Texas: $172,000 - Florida: $172,000 - Arizona: $168,000 - Illinois: $162,000 - New York: $148,000 - California: $135,000 Life is all about choices. Including where you call home.

@BarelyTrying92 @theficouple Lived in Texas, paid less than 3% property tax. No tax on food. No property tax on car. Moved to the coast and I’m actually paying less on homeowners because hurricanes give you more escape time than hail and tornadoes, but all in, Texas was a fabulously cheap place.

@theficouple Why do you have to lie? Also Texas has very high property taxes and so does Florida, including very high house insurance.

@Cernovich The very rich I’ve met don’t have a numerical goal. Their goal is “more”. Ask any one of them and they’ll say the same. The goal is more.

There is no magic “number.” I’ve seen people get really rich and become worse off as they are convinced everyone is stealing. Money is a spiritual magnifying glass. If you’re generous and get rich, you’ll help more. If you’re a miser, your hands will calcify from holding onto it.

Billionaire used to be a rare thing but even I know some as there are so many. They are happier than average. It’s the lack of financial stress, that’s the trick. No one gets a free ride tho. Everyone has problems. That’s what church / temple / mosque is for.

@SoveyX @elonmusk It’s amazing but it’s almost like cancer to me when viewed from outside. I love musk, he’s a genius, but part of me sees it as just…pollution.

SpaceX now has over 10,000 Starlink satellites in orbit, which is honestly an absurd engineering achievement. And no, they are not just up there freelancing and hoping for the best. They stay separated because they are placed in organized orbital lanes, constantly tracked, and able to maneuver when needed. Starlink also uses automated collision-avoidance systems, which is how a constellation this large can operate without turning low Earth orbit into a scrapyard. It’s already the closest thing in the world to a true work-anywhere network and they are just getting started.

There are far too many billionaires and none of them are happy. This essay is the latest example. The entire idea of a “family office” to manage your extreme wealth is a societal failure. (That said, if we do have family offices, seems fine for the dad to send his little nephew in to be a spy. Kind of goes with the whole family office thing)

I received a copy of the crash report. Officials ruled the woman who ran the red light and hit me yesterday is 100% at fault. The woman was also cited for running the red light. Initially, I assumed she was a teenager given her behavior and appearance. However, she is a 21-year-old recent college graduate who works in healthcare and lives at home. In her free time, she likes to post videos on social media of her driving while entertaining followers. I hope she changes her behavior moving forward. Luckily, my daughter and I weren’t seriously injured, but that outcome could have very well been different. In my post yesterday, I brought up her heritage. People called me names, while others understood my position. Her background matters. Based on my research, her parents either immigrated here when she was a baby or just before she was born. Despite the fact her parents have been here for a long time, they still struggled to speak English while at the scene. They have also failed to adopt Southern manners. Neither she nor her parents displayed an ounce of concern over my daughter and me. In fact, they acted bothered with me — like it was my fault I was on the road when she decided to run the red light. Their sheer hubris was infuriating! Just like so many other immigrants who have come here over the past 30 years, this woman’s entire online persona is about her homeland. She posts in her homeland’s language more often than in English. She displays her homeland’s flag in her bios. Her friend group comprises other women from her homeland. For all intent and purposes, she does not identify as an American. A woman from an incompatible culture who hasn’t truly assimilated and wouldn’t even be here if it weren’t for the Hart-Celler Act has negatively impacted my Heritage American family due to her recklessness. She caused roughly $8K in damage to my car. My insurance company is in the process of determining whether it will be totaled. If they decide to total my car, her actions will result in my family losing a car 4 months before it’s paid off 2 years early. Any amount paid out for the car won’t cover the full cost of a new-to-us used car. The possibility of having a car payment again when we just paid off my husband’s car last fall and almost have mine paid off makes me physically ill. We have been working hard to be in a stronger financial position to buy land — the same land that now costs much more due to transplants and foreigners invading the South. If my car is totaled and we aren’t able to find a replacement with the insurance money, we may very well have to take out a loan to cover the difference. That outcome would result in us having much less money to put into savings for land. All of this is happening while we budget to cover another tuition increase at my daughter’s private Christian school — a school we send her to because the schools she is zoned for have been over-run with foreigners and kids from less than stellar families who have been pushed out of places like Antioch and East Nashville due to carpetbaggers. This is also happening at a time when the company my husband works for has not given any raises in three years and all but halted internal promotions while also relying on H-1B visas more and more. My husband, a white Marine Corps veteran in his mid-40s, returned to school this spring to improve his credentials so that he has more to offer than his H-1B visa counterparts — the same foreign counterparts who most likely have fake diplomas and trumped up resumes, given recent news stories. Combine all these factors and it’s easy to see why I would bring up her heritage. I don’t care if people call me names. I care that nothing in my life has improved with mass immigration. This entire situation is just one more example of how Heritage Americans have been hurt by mass immigration in ways not easily found on a Cato Institute spreadsheet.

@NotABotBlonde @Cernovich Sounds like Texas, better have some high dollar uninsured driver insurance. They just leave. Even if it’s your fault they just drive away.

I am almost 50 and regularly think I am not mature in the way a Cicero was. Then I see 60 year old men whining about not being invited on podcasts. Never ending drama. From old men. 60 is OLD. It’s bleak.

According to the Wall Street Journal, citing Department of War officials with knowledge on the matter, the Pentagon may be looking to send an additional 10,000 U.S. forces to the Middle East. According to the Wall Street Journal, the force would include additional troops and also armored vehicles.

The UAE stands as a strong partner of the United States. No ceasefire with the Islamic regime in Iran. Not now. You don’t negotiate with terror. You end it. The UAE stands firm. Zero space for terrorists. Germany, Britain, Spain's governments say they want a diplomatic solution with this terrorist regime. Fine. Let it be your neighbour. Take its leadership, as you did with the Muslim Brotherhood. Give them citizenship. They are all yours. If you want the rubbish, take it but don’t ask us to accept it or live with it. It stinks. You can have it. Live with it alone. This Saturday will not pass quietly. It will be marked. It will be remembered.

Shame on you zionist ! People like you are a disgrace for muslims. USA and its proxy UAE are terrorists and everyone knows that. Your denial or throwing blame elsewhere is not going to change anything. The whole world stands with Iran against the zionist epstein regimes. You can go to hell.

This is happening in SC-05, NOT the Middle East. How did South Carolina leaders let it get this far? THIS is why we launched the Sharia Free America Caucus. I won’t ignore it. I won’t excuse it. And I won’t let it become the new normal.

*sadly I can't locate a vintage matchbook from the Warrior, but I bet they were spectacular. A couple of other surviving Sioux City gems: the Prairie Style Woodbury County Courthouse (1918) and the Native American-themed moderne Badgerow Building (1933)

The matchbooks from earlier today got me thinking about the Warrior Hotel in Sioux City. It opened in 1930, closed in 1976, miraculously went undemolished for over 50 years, and was restored to its former glory in 2020. A Streamline Moderne gem.
