@TaxedAndAbused @CaHSRA Lol @ nuclear warheads. The same nukes that have been 1 day from completion for the last 20 years. The same ones that Trump "oblierated" last year? Such a sheep

@agguman @CaHSRA It's funny that we shit on CAHSR for spending 14billion over 18 years for something that has proven value, but most people will never even realize that Facebook wasted $80billion on its now-defunct Metaverse experiment

@TheUnsaid11 @CaHSRA Fun fact: The CAHSR over the last 18 years has spent the equivalent of one week of the Iranian war. Or just 15% of what the Metaverse has cost

Only for the low, low price of 1,000,000,000 plane tickets between SF & LA!!! And that's not even covering the yearly operation & maintenance costs. Choo choo train fans will say there's no limit to the tax money that you must pay for their dream! ($100B estimated cost for CA HSR. One way ticket between SF & LA: $100)

@TaxedAndAbused @CaHSRA Crazy that 20 years of this High Speed Rail project has still cost less than 1 week of the Iran War.

@CaHSRA The only rational business plan for this boondoggle would be to shut it down, sell off any remaining assets and give the money back to the taxpayers. 🤡

This is wild. People in *every single one* of the top US allies now think it's better to depend on China than the US. The global balance of power is clearly tilting away from the US and toward China.

@MattWalshBlog Is it true that the Iran War spent more money in one week than the CA High Speed Rail did in 20 years?

The Hoover Dam was built in the amount of time it has taken California to construct a small bridge for cats and butterflies. The Empire State Building was built in about a quarter of the time.
Christopher F. Rufo ⚔️@christopherrufo

EXCLUSIVE: Gavin Newsom promised to build a bridge for cougars and butterflies in the middle of Los Angeles. The project has turned into another boondoggle, with broken deadlines and costs exploding to $114 million. This is Newsom's bridge to nowhere. city-journal.org/article/califo…

In 2017, the government cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. Corporations promised to raise worker wages with the savings. Here’s what they actually did. S&P 500 buybacks jumped 55% in one year, from $519 billion in 2017 to $806 billion in 2018. By 2024, buybacks hit a record $942.5 billion. Goldman Sachs projects they’ll cross $1 trillion in 2025. Every dollar of buybacks inflates the stock price. The top 10% of Americans own 87% of all stocks. The bottom 50% own roughly 1%. So the government cut taxes on corporations. Corporations sent the cash to shareholders. Shareholders were already the wealthiest people in the country. Then the government said “we’re all in this together.” Run the scoreboard. Workers’ share of GDP hit 53.8% in Q3 2025, the lowest since the Bureau of Labor Statistics started tracking in 1947. It was 70% back then. Fortune 500 profits hit a record $1.87 trillion in 2024. The top 1% now hold $55 trillion in wealth. The bottom 50%, all 66 million households, hold $4.1 trillion. The gap between corporate profits and worker compensation as a share of GDP is now the widest since World War II. Airlines are building $25,000 first-class suites while McDonald’s sells $5 value meals. Both rational responses to the same economy splitting in half. The meme is a period drama. The Federal Reserve’s data from last quarter says the ratio is generous.

@RonFilipkowski Isn't there a war with American soldiers dying? The President needs to turn off the TV & stop worrying about fucking decorations for his ballroom. We couldnt have a bigger loser as president. Shame on Republicans for making us put up with this shit. Vote them all the fuck out

The US military accidentally struck an Iranian elementary school, in an attack that state media said killed at least 168 children and 14 teachers, likely due to outdated information about a nearby naval base, according to two sources briefed on the preliminary findings of an ongoing military investigation. cnn.it/4ruWgX8

That is insane: "Biden’s pardons eliminated roughly $680,000 in financial penalties owed to victims or the government. In contrast, Trump’s second-term pardons have forgiven criminal debts of more than $1.5 billion."
Cato Institute@CatoInstitute

Trump’s second-term pardons are historic in their enormity—billions in fines erased, allies protected, donors rewarded, DOJ undermined, and election norms threatened. Corruption looks less like an exception and more like the rule, says Cato’s Dan Greenberg. ow.ly/PiYw50YqcO0

@SDUnitedComm @WesSDCali Where are you seeing this? Hottest looks to be the landfill. The hottest developed neighborhoods look like Mira Mesa. The densest neighborhoods (North Park/City Heights) are pretty average, and downtown looks downright chilly compared to everything else

Heat islands are NOT along the coast nor are they where the tallest buildings are (i.e., downtown). In San Diego, heat severity is a result of sprawling single family neighborhoods, their roads, parking lots, and other pavement. Coastal density is pro-environment and humane.
Wesley Morgan tweet media
Wesley Morgan@WesSDCali

Making it illegal to accommodate more neighbors along the coast is just inhumane. Taller buildings create shade while sprawling roads and pavement intensify heat.
