@elonmusk Less traffic, less pollution, shorter lines at Disney and the National Parks, more space to breathe. Narrow income inequality so more people feel confident they can support the extra kid or two and a natural, albeit lower, population balance will happen. Sounds like a positive.

Birth rates are plummeting. The global population is collapsing.

What I cannot understand is why American voters elected the dumbest, most vicious & quite senile man available for president.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.
That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.
So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

@SenWarren How about enforcing insider trading laws rather than create another law

@SenWarren Or the many layers of fluff not directly educating the children goes away and the teachers can teach. Pollyanna maybe but it is better to do something than let the same ole same ole bring us down further

Trump is telling America's public school kids that their futures don’t matter.
Billionaires like Trump and Musk won’t feel it when afterschool programs are slashed, class sizes go up, and student aid gets cut.
It'll be working parents, students, and teachers who pay the price.

Four years from now it won't be a Republican entering the White House. We're going to make the Democratic Party the strongest it's been in over half a century.

@BernieSanders Too bad Pres. Biden is one of those that led us to this point.
English
Thank you, President Biden. You were absolutely right when you stated last night that:
"An oligarchy is taking shape in America of extreme wealth, power and influence that threatens our entire democracy, our basic rights & freedoms."
This is the defining issue of our time.

Don't you think today would be a great day to ban members of Congress and their families from trading stocks?

@hwinkler4real Agree on Puerto Rico, but DC is not state worthy in either size or population.

Anyone agree?
We’ve seen quite a few of you say that you prefer the old design.

@anders_aslund commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Finl… Hard to compare what is best for a mostly homogenous country the size of a handful of states to the whole of the United States!
