@Jason The minimum wage thing has got to stop. It's pretty much made high-school and college kids unemployable.

I would tax folks under $75k at 1%, so they were still tossing in half a week's paycheck… and felt like they were part of the American process.
… but Jeff is correct overall, let the bottom half of earners spend their money and crank the progressive taxation system one or two more turns
Also, it wouldn’t hurt anyone to increase our federal minimum wage by a meager $1 a year for seven years — didn’t do any harm in Australia, the Nordics and New Zealand
Much better proposals than @RoKhanna and @BernieSanders’ wealth seizure taxes
Jeff Bezos@JeffBezos
Thank you. The important part is zeroing out taxes on the bottom half. Best way to put money in someone’s pocket is to not take it out in the first place. Bottom half is only 3% of total tax revenue. But it’s very meaningful to that person. Zero it out.

@DrakeFantasy @PabloTorre @OzTheMentalist Yeah he didn't OUT oz...it was another guy and now @PabloTorre is taking credit. Even pronouncing Oz as oOhhhz like the British dude that made the doc

Seeing @PabloTorre out @OzTheMentalist as a complete fraud for using a phone app to con his marks made my day.

@HeroDividend Check out is fast af. Agree with everything else

Every single time I shop at Costco the parking lot is completely full. People literally fight for parking spaces.
Shopping inside the store is honestly a terrible experience. Everyone is either old or overweight. Buggies completely full of snacks, toilet paper, and rotisserie chickens.
Checkout is a very manual process and typically takes just as long as shopping does.
The food court is full of cheap and high calorie items. Good value but full of sodium and seed oils.
As a shareholder - the company is extrememly well run. Has a very strong private label brand (Kirkland). Has pricing power to manage tarrifs/inflation etc…
They have consistently grown their dividend and have a history of paying special dividends to shareholders
Costco is a cash cow and I love being a shareholder

Costco stock is now trading at all time highs. The stock is now trading at a forward P/E multiple of 52.33x! How much of a premium are investors willing to pay for 'AI-Proof' businesses?

1) their wives, which they also don’t have, aren’t making their lunches for them
2) you can’t eat a sandwich like this AT work. If you work from home, which I’ve been fortunate enough to do my whole career, it’s one thing. But this sandwich is getting cold and soggy in a lunchbox
Julie@JulieLovesFluff
How is lunch $28?! This is my husband's lunch most days and he makes 6 figures.

I just went to my polling place, showed my photo ID, and proudly voted for Ed Gallrein! And I’m a former 7 time Massie voter. No more!

@SportsBuckaroo @MikeNellis You're not a smart person Buckaroo

Massie lost. Not shocking, but terrible for the country. His sin was standing up to the Epstein class, and Trump destroyed him for it. His replacement is just another mindless hack, the last thing Congress needs right now.
MAGA will celebrate tonight, but they’ll be paying for it in November.

@RubinReport Dave you've become such a little bitch. And now mostly irrelevant. The Rubin Report is dead and you've done it to yourself

Put aside who you want to win, this is insanely deceptive and maybe illegal?

Kentucky election day shenanigans; Massie campaign sends out to KY 4 voters via text a 2022 Trump statement making it look like the president supports Massie today where he clearly supports Gallrein Text ends with "Paid for by Thomas Massie for Congress Reply STOP to opt-out"

@fadethecrowd @jason_bethel @grok @stelzner_n1150 @vol_fir Everything the govt touches gets worse and exponentially more expensive
English
A Chipotle burrito costs $15. Ground beef is $7 a pound. Inflation is financially crippling Gen Z.
Once again, an out-of-touch rich boomer is lecturing young people.
Mikli@CryptoMikli
Kevin O’Leary says Gen Z is financially cooked when people making $70K a year are spending $28 on lunch
English
A regular-sized sandwich, a bag of chips, and a soda cost you like $17 now at Jersey Mike's, then they ask for a tip on their tablet, making the total close to $20. Wealthy people don't care because they don't need to budget, but for middle-class Americans, this is a big problem.

@mattbwhitney @grok @fadethecrowd @stelzner_n1150 @vol_fir I’d be curious to see your sources on that. The govt is heavily involved in ag subsidies and regulations regarding crop insurance, etc…
English
@jason_bethel @grok @fadethecrowd @stelzner_n1150 @vol_fir Compared to housing and healthcare!? And I forgot the other big one -- education. Not even close. Grocery stores for 1 are not subsidized in a large fashion. You can't finance your food purchases through the government. Restaurants are not subsidized.

This is bad for Bitcoin as an asset.
Polymarket@Polymarket
JUST IN: Michael Saylor’s Strategy now owns more than 4% of the total supply of Bitcoin.

@stelzner_n1150 Dude how much ground beef are you putting on a burrito

“Real men use wood to heat their Hot Tubs!”
Is that true?
And does the built in stove really get the water hot enough?

@MikeHerndonSk1 She took over for the lazy do nothing tommy boy, was given the benefit of the doubt for a few years. Had a 4 year run stretch of success and then failure after failure

Curious to get views on the job Amy Adams-Strunk has done as #Titans owner as a whole from March 2015 to present. She’s (rightfully) been criticized for her missteps in the messy Robinson-Vrabel-Carthon-Callahan transition, but overall still think she’s done more good than bad.
Mike Herndon@MikeHerndonSk1
@tylershedron She’s made some bad mistakes with the Carthon/Vrabel/Callahan debacle but overall I still think she’s done a lot to move the franchise in the right direction since 2015. Has invested a TON of money in both football and non-football staff as well as facilities and technology.

@AngelaBelcamino Massie is a meanie that won't just go along with all their bullshit.
English
To anyone opposing Thomas Massie:
What’s the strongest fact-based case for Gallrein as the better candidate?
I haven’t seen one yet.
If you’ve got one, let’s hear it.

Name a random Titans player that you love.

There are still people that think the best use of excess capital is with our corrupt government officials.
Rushi@rushicrypto
No more billionaires. None. Once you hit $999 million, every extra cent goes to schools and health care. You get a trophy that says: “I won capitalism.” And we name a dog park after you.
