Please tell me why the fuck would i display an American flag at my house when I have newly racist neighbours who already came by to tell me that I don’t belong in the neighborhood cuz im brown🧍 they did this with my broken leg in front of them too😭 I WAS BORN IN AMERICA
Amy Nixon@texasrunnerDFW
When we moved to Texas 6 years ago, about 75% of the homes in our neighborhood displayed American Flags on Memorial Day and 4th of July Weekend Today, only about 25% of homes do Of all the changes to America and North Texas in the last 5 years, this one saddens me most

@FWiedenbec55009 @haveaconcern We can't fix stupid because eugenics is wrong
English
@mark_pusateri3 @haveaconcern Well some people are just down right stupid and we know stupid is something we can't fix. We see or hear about it all the time. Just watch these protesters and you can see it in each one's eyes and reactions

As an American citizen I have the right to buy any property I want in any neighborhood. Without restrictions. There is no law that says I have to abide by HOA rules or regulations (PERIOD) . So you people stop with the Dont buy a house if you don't want to comply with the rules.
English
@FWiedenbec55009 @haveaconcern Some people find great comfort in enforced conformity.
English
That's something that I don't understand is why buy where you are controlled. Even with large amounts of land like 5 to 20 acres and they have a HOA why??. That's one's I've run into before and find that I have to get permission just to do something for a client seems stupid to require that..

I’m surprised I’m not forced to pay taxes on the fin air I breathe while slaving for 18.00 an hour trying to keep a roof over my head while being single with NO KIDS!!!! My car is paid off thank god or Id be living in it.
I don’t think the evil Government fraud trolls give a shit.
The people of Julius Caesar loved him because he gave Rome victories, wealth, public games, debt relief, and land for veterans and the poor.
Nobody gives us-The American People- anything.

@SSmit1986 What you owe on your house, and the costs of maintaining it, have no bearing on what you can sell it for.
English
Somehow the "free markets provide stuff efficiently" bros never seem to be interested in examining how landlords just raise rents without needing to cover increasing costs.
Gemma@windupgemma
My last rent increase was because the landlord noticed that the market rate for the area had gone up Not because his costs went up, but because other landlords were charging more in my area and my landlord felt left out and thought I should pay him more for the same thing
English
Most “white” countries became rich through centuries of land theft, slavery, resource plunder, and rigged trade, then locked in their advantage with global institutions and rules written in their favour.
If you loot the world for 400 years, then point at the people you looted and ask “why are you poor?”, that’s not a serious question, it’s propaganda.
Natania Marshall ✞@NataniaMarshall
The same people who blame all the world’s problems on white people can never explain why there’s no white third world countries.

@NotTheSame_Cord @NoahKingJr Isn't communism necessarily totalitarian? Seems like it can't tolerate anyone opting out
English
@NoahKingJr name any successful totalitarian society, regardless of social-economic policy.

@NoahKingJr Is China communist or are they doing capitalism better than everyone else?

@malcolm_reavell Please explain why the countries with the most billionaires have the least poverty.
English
Billionaires cause poverty, they don’t fix it. The money supply is infinite but so is the possibility of obscene wealth in a system that permits billionaires. They aren’t a benefit, they’re a cancerous symptom of exclusion and extraction, of appropriation and exploitation.
Chris Freiman@cafreiman
Actually, both billionaires and immigrants are good for economy. Anti-billionaire and anti-immigration beliefs tend to result from the mistaken view that there’s a fixed sum of wealth.

@davidsirota Boutique counties. Mono cultures. What makes you think you could scale such a thing?

The opponents of Medicare For All expect you to believe that the wealthiest country on the planet cannot afford the very thing that other less wealthy countries have been able to afford for decades — and many of those other less wealthy countries have longer average lifespans.

@OrevaZSN You take the most important thing for innovation: risk capitol. The riskiest bets have the biggest potential payoffs in terms of quality of life

@girlpowertbh If you don't understand something, the fault lies with you.

@LeroyTheElk Why do we have trials if one guy can just pardon the convicted?
English
why does SCOTUS even have the rule that four justices can grant cert, if the other five can just dismiss it as improvidently granted?

@collin_ruth89 Customers always cover payroll. That's how business works.
English
Something I don’t miss about being in the US:
Obligatory 20% tips at restaurants.
This doesn’t exist in the rest of the world.
How did US restauranteurs convince customers to cover their payroll.
Makes no sense.

@SethAbramson Either this is a parody account or you're using some metrics no one actually cares about. They might give lip service to those metrics, but when they vote with their feet to find out what's really important to them.
English
Nearly all net-positive interstate migration in the US is to the worst states in the country, make it make sense
What we *should* be doing is acknowledging that nearly every red state is a failed state and unpacking why that is and emulating what the blue/purple states are doing
English
@GordonSjdin @Tori_TLCR Not exactly how that usually works. More likely that as the population grew people with greater means were priced out of closer in neighborhoods and moved into more marginal neighborhoods seeking bargains. You know, gentrification.
English
@mark_pusateri3 @Tori_TLCR That’s a super good point. Many working people settled into shit neighborhoods and built them up with common jobs.

In 1997 my boomer mom paid $525/mo or $6,300/year rent for a 3 bedroom house in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
If rent only increased for inflation, that's $966.63 month or $11,599/year. (CAD 2025)
But rent doesn't work like that. Market rent in 2025 in Thunder Bay for a 3 bedroom was

@middle_class_us Inflation is caused by excess money supply. Always and everywhere. Rents went up because supply is inelastic and the FED printed money
English
Everyone says rent went up because of inflation.
That is backwards.
Rent is not reacting to inflation. Rent is creating it.
Landlords raising rent 10% a year on millions of units.
No improvements. No justification.
Just because they can.
And because working people have nowhere else to go.
Nobody in power has proposed a single meaningful solution.
Because the people in power are the landlords.

As boomers die, I beg fellow Gen X-ers not to fill the gap. Your dad did not fight a war. Your mum didn't always cook from scratch. Most of you had shoes, TVs, the odd meal out. You can't do, "do you remember Walkmans" *&* "we never went to Wimpy" at the same time.
