@hutchinson i don't think she intended to drive at the officer, but ur analysis is off. she was turning right after having turned all the way left when backing up. turning right only straightened the wheels as the car started moving forward. this was clear on the first video.

We all have eyes. I slowed it down for you. She was turning her wheel and steering her tires to the right and *away* from the agent before she even hit the accelerator and started moving forward.

@Bricktop_NAFO because state has monopoly on violence? not perfect by any means but sure beats the jungle law for normies. 'normies' exclude police and sadly people like renee good (RIP) or those in the above video.

Why didn’t the citizens shoot the ICE officer driving?

@Mike_Bostock @GunnelsWarren how exactly does 'recycle' work when virtually all their networth is just a market valuation of their ownership stake in various companies? do you picture piles of cash sitting somewhere ready to be handed out to 'improve life'?

@RickyHale_ do you ever stop and think where his networth actually is? it’s almost all invested in some of the most successful companies in the current economy. unless you're suggesting these are bad investments, you can't liquidate these assets to fund anything. who owns them is irrelevant.

Capitalism is better than socialism because one man gets to be a trillionaire instead of everyone having healthcare

@jakescottMD @FoxNews i wish we got to see ppl like you and rfkj compare receipts in person. he can answer each of your points with what he’s claim is based on. reasonable people can decide for themselves who to believe, most likely a bit of both

RFK Jr. went on national TV and spouted egregious, dangerous falsehoods about vaccines. As a parent and infectious diseases doctor, I couldn't stay silent. @FoxNews might not fact-check him, but I will. I've reviewed the trials. I've catalogued them. I have receipts. 🧵

@Domsca20x @Mappy6984 not sure if it’s a cause or effect, but in US many drivers have poor lane discipline and often cruise in left lane at same or even lower speed than the right lane traffic. if it were illegal to pass from right lane, then traffic would be bogged down even worse than they are.

@Mappy6984 Passing on the right is wrong always. In most countries it’s a violation. Not sure why it isn’t in North America?

Bicycles do not belong on roadways. Point blank period.

@TheKevinDalton where is the $750mil price tag from? it’s not in the video and unbelievably high budget for ‘tiny homes’.

Gavin Newsom March 2023: We are deploying 1200 tiny homes by Fall at a cost of 750 million taxpayer dollars. Reality: Two years later neither the 1200 tiny homes or 750 million taxpayer dollars can be found

@JustinShultz19 @joeroganhq it’s a mistake is to view anyone in politics a hero. anyone able to make it in politics is corrupted to some extent. one redeeming quality of trump is so much of media dislike him which means more scrutiny. most pernicious kinds are the ‘well liked’ who can get away with more.

@joeroganhq I think this is why they say to never meet your heroes. I really at one point thought Bernie was the one guy not doing this crap in DC. Once again, I am proven wrong. All that talk and yet he still received money from the people he is supposed to be regulating. This must end.

The math ain’t mathing

@ewarren agreed and it highlights the incompetence of the congress to allow it to happen. either pass & enforce laws that make his threats to primary you empty or grow a spine & don’t cower just to keep your job.

Last time I checked, nobody voted for the richest man in the world to run the federal government.

@Jewtastic @elonmusk doesn’t he only have power if most ppl agree w/ his views? so most ppl are dumb and easily manipulated just b/c he’s rich? if so, what good is democracy?

@elonmusk It is more accurate to say you are the media now. It's not us. Whatever agenda you push on here is the one that will win. I say this as someone who supports you, but it's frankly scary the amount of power you have amassed, totally unearned.

You are the media now

@karlfrankjr @docMatikos @waitbutwhy he addressed it in a separate thread. when you do choose violence, you expect violence in return. that is option 2.

You have to choose one: 1) Political violence is not okay 2) People of all political stripes should use violence to achieve their goals “Position 1 for the other team’s causes, Position 2 for my team’s causes” is not on the table.

@FrankGrimeson @waitbutwhy @JustinBonomo the analogy to his statement with your example is if you support violence against someone hurting your kids, you also support it when you are hurting some else’s kids. it’s really just the golden rule - the only moral standard there needs to be.

@waitbutwhy @JustinBonomo That's an artificial distinction. If a state is murdering people one can argue it's no different than someone stabbing your kid.

@JustinBonomo @waitbutwhy that’s b/c you choose to strawman his statements. he addressed your point about revolution perfectly. there’s never universal agreement on exactly when violence is ‘right’. his point is if you choose violence, can’t complain about adversarial violence in return, win or lose.

I still disagree with your semantics. They just some blatantly obviously untrue and oversimplified to me But the crux of the disagreement is probably more based on 2 things: 1) trust in system 2) optimistic assessment of the present and future Needless to say, a lot of people around the world are very low on #1 and #2 right now

@RepRoKhanna the fact that you read the headline numbers wrong by orders of magnitude doesn’t instill confidence that govt can do better. profit margin has been ~3% across insurance industry for years. health spending is very high but insurance companies aren’t close to being THE issue.

@AlastairMcA30 i don’t think there’s evidence for a link but you cited 3 studies (?) and then repeatedly claim no link is proven ‘many times’ and ask how many is enough. that’s not how science works. there’s no fixed number for which something in science is ‘proven’ unlike math.

@maddenifico no one likes dealing with insurance companies, but i was surprised to learn their profit margin was ~3% with ~86% of premiums paid out to medical cost & ~11% admin cost. blaming high medical cost solely on insurers seems misguided. content.naic.org/sites/default/…

Let's not fool ourselves, it took the murder of United Health's CEO for Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield CEO Gail K. Boudreaux to come to her senses and reverse her asinine and barbaric decision to turn anesthesia into a fucking surgical facsimile of the Hunger Games. To recap, cruel motherfucker Boudreaux had previously decided that if surgeries exceeded a set duration, patients would be liable for additional anesthesia costs.

@dezmondOliver @elonmusk if you represent the majority of remote workers, then govt buildings can be vastly reduced. either way it’s a lot of waste. unsurprising when it comes to govt operations where accountability is by definition lower as somone else (tax payer) is paying the bills.

Elon, I’m one of them. I don’t have an office to go to because I remotely support 100+ different offices and buildings. I create virtual servers and software for many different units. Me going in to an office would mean flying me constantly to different locations around the US. Not all remote work is unnecessary.

If you exclude security guards & maintenance personnel, the number of government workers who show up in person and do 40 hours of work a week is closer to 1%! Almost no one.

@joeroganhq rejecting zelensky outright is a missed opportunity to challenge him or your own views of him. even tho you can’t ban him from speaking elsewhere, your platform is so big now it’s akin to censorship by other social media that you rail against.

Thoughts?

@Socdem_Michael @a69774 well if you equate saying ‘marching over to the Capitol building to peaceful and patriotically make your voiced heard’ (trump’s exact words) as encouraging the resulting riot, then what’s good for the goose… i don’t like trump but double standards like this helped him win.

@a69774 If you can find me any evidence of Obama encouraging rioting or endorsing defund the police, please show me a link to that

Still blows my mind that basically zero swing voters found this disqualifying.

@NCaumanns @karenlynchkaren @caroljsroth @BillKristol no easy answers, but a main reason for police state to exist is to protect private ownership which only benefits those who own. so the haves should be paying more than have-nots for maintaining the social order where wealth/income disparities exist, hence progressive taxation.

Reasonable concern raised by @elonmusk. A good reason to raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy.
