@nickbuccero The shitty thing is, half the country does care about party affiliation when it comes to who discovers corruption so they poopoo it and claim it doesn’t happen because someone from “the other side” uncovered it.
English
Look. I don’t care what your politics are. This is happening at scale all across the country, and there are real, serious people out there that want to convince you all our problems would be solved by taxing people more. It’s fantasy land

Nick Shirley uncovers an adult day care in Flushing, Queens with 7,000 phantom members. Nick: “This public document says you have 7,899 members.” Employee: “No, we don’t have 7,000 members.” Nick: “So you’re overbilling then? You’re getting paid $1,600 per patient — that’s how you got $12.9 million in 2024.” Employee: “Please leave.” American taxpayer dollars at work.

@nickbuccero @kurt_houser U lost me. What gov? Why r we giving them $?
English
@3630no6 @kurt_houser So you think giving the government of a country that, again, already has DOUBLE the resources of the next closest country - just more of the citizens money that maybe this time they’ll spend it responsibly to the deficit? No thanks
English
@nickbuccero @kurt_houser Regardless, there is no path to fixing this problem that doesn't include raising taxes & the more we put it off, the more we borrow & the more we lose to interest payments.
English
@3630no6 @kurt_houser Dude you’re still missing the point entirely.
The US generates 6.8 TRILLION in annual tax revenue, with China being second closest at about HALF of us.
No matter how hard you try, the issue is not that the government doesn’t have enough resources to use.
English
@nickbuccero @kurt_houser The current deficit - not budget but just deficit - is $1.4T. That's not a typo.
Rooting out fraud, cutting waste, & finding inefficiencies is critical, but at best ur going to see savings in the billions.
To truly get the fed budget on solid ground, we have to raise taxes.

@CaseyYoung1 @evil9remlin @nickbuccero Incorrect because Jameis is the most FUN QB and Shane Battier helped the spurs win those late 2000’s championships. In terms of why does it matter? Because he focuses on fraud only in blue states, and his inaccuracy, which will result in somebody getting hurt
English
@3630no6 @kurt_houser So because there’s even more fraud out there we shouldn’t get rid of the low hanging fruit fraud? These are the type of opinions that make you look guilty.
And no, lack of revenue isn’t part of the issue!
English
@kurt_houser @nickbuccero We can cut fraud enough, or even reduce our budget enough to balance our budget. Increasing revenue has to be a part of the solution.

@SloughWillum @ChanceLiebau Yeah Cags needs to be more consistent but he’s in his first full year and 6th overall pick. If you believe the “future” can be in the next 3 years he’s part of it

Carter Jensen since moving to the leadoff spot on 5/30:
.294/.331/.541, 9 2B (t-3rd in MLB), 6 HR, 23 RBI (t-10th in MLB), 23.7% chase-rate (13th-best in MLB)
#Royals are 13-14 in that stretch, 9th-best offense. In a down-year, it's important to have some positives.
English
@JustinCook75542 @ryan_landreth Exactly. And preferably right after this season, before next years hopefully high draft pick and sell off during the winter to accelerate the rebuild
English
@nickbuccero @ryan_landreth Totally agree. Firing Q would just be fan service. Need to clean out all of the regime who has been responsible for decades of under performance
English
The Royals:
- Fewest wins & most losses in the American League
- 2nd fewest wins & 2nd fewest losses in baseball
- Worst run differential (by double digits) in the AL
- .421 win % since Matt Quatraro said to stick by 'em because they'll get better
Make changes. Fire somebody!

Red Sox, 33-48: Fired manager
Mets, 34-47: Fired manager
Phillies, 45-36: Fired manager
Royals, 34-48: Everyone gets to stay!

I find this (increasingly common) take incredibly annoying.

Another obsession in American is having a house meanwhile the American dreaming isn’t owning a house anymore - Caleb Hammer “It’s the freedom of renting, cause you can live wherever you want, you can move for a job easily” “With the incredible stock markets that we’ve had over the past 50 years, it beats it every time if you rent and just put your money into the stocks market”

@Shauncore What’s Loftin? At this point think he should get majority of 2B starts over Massey

@h8rproof82 Imagine if Bobby could even sniff 2024 level. We’d be an AL favorite

No love in race 9. We battle on.
Race 10
Win: 8
Ex box: 2,6,8
Tri box: 2,6,8

After this weekend, the season will be 20% over.
The “it’s early talk” can then go out the window.
Have to be good 65% of the last 80% of season to sniff playoffs.
When you dig a hole early, you basically have to be good from then on. Even in AL Central CLE or DET will win 87
