@Jason Each party likes to pretend how different their politicians are from the other party, but it is a uniparty that just does the same thing in different ways to end up at the same result.

@Xoen1X @JeremyDLytle73 @TheLaurenChen Being forced to do something with a gun to your head is exploitive VS the pursuit of capitalism being consensual volunteerism. The USSR literally became an empire and fomented revolutions were used to expand their strategic power, the very definition of imperialism.
English
@pdethomasco @JeremyDLytle73 @TheLaurenChen Supporting communist revolutionaries abroad is not imperialist. They are not setting up an exploitive extraction economy like capitalist nations do.
Labour camps even at peak were never a significant % of the workforce.

It's crazy to me how Robin Hood is now popularized as "stealing from the rich to give to the poor"
(Socialist messaging)
In reality, Robin Hood stole back the taxes that a cruel leader unjustly levied against the population
(Anti-socialist messaging)
English
@Xoen1X @JeremyDLytle73 @TheLaurenChen The USSR wasn't exploitive or imperialist? How many revolutions did they foment? How many people did they force into labor camps. Ever read the Gulag Archipelago?
English
@JeremyDLytle73 @TheLaurenChen In fact, socialism is the only system that raised people from poverty without relying on imperialist exploitation elsewhere.

@Scott_Wiener No longer allowed to display any flags. That is a huge difference than saying no rainbow flags allowed.
English
The San Francisco-born small business, Philz Coffee, just lost its community values after being bought out. Now owned by private equity firm Freeman Spogli, Philz is no longer allowed to display pride flags. This sad moment highlights the critical importance of locally-rooted businesses that support and understand the communities they serve, including the LGBTQ community.

@NotForSale80 @FinancialPhys @nypost Government regulations and guardrails is control. Argentina has a long way to go, but at one point their economy was at equilibrium with America until they started flirting more and more with guardrails and regulations and over 120 years it evolved into the clusterfuck it became.
English
@pdethomasco @FinancialPhys @nypost That's just not true. Argentina is not a case study because we're not talking about government control. We're talking about government regulations and guard rails, which is completely different. Also the dollar is the world's currency which gives us advantages.

@kane Politicians threatening like this is why there are only 4 refiners left in CA.

“A monopoly is when there are at least four companies competing against each other”
Tom Steyer@TomSteyer
Four corporations control 90% of California's refining capacity. That's not a market — that's a monopoly. I'll attack their grip on gas pricing and force an investigation into why Californians pay more than anyone else in the country.

@David_J_Bier The majority want orderly lower levels of immigration for jobs Americans don't want to do. Only workers and their families with no criminal activity. People who would ordinarily be able to walk across the border without hopping on a plane given preference, namely Latinos.
English
The bots and trolls are after her faking a real grassroots movement. But nativism is an elitist DC project. Most Americans just want secure and orderly immigration. Poll after poll shows Republicans are open to her ideas about how to address people here for years.
Rep. María Elvira Salazar@RepMariaSalazar
There’s a fundamental misconception about what “amnesty” really means. Amnesty is looking the other way: no consequences, no accountability, just more chaos. That’s the system we’ve had for decades. The Dignity Act ends it with enforcement, accountability, real penalties, and ZERO tolerance for criminals. That’s not amnesty. That’s law and order!

@Trendtowar18751 @jackvlloyd And yet it is working and the people voted to give hin even more power because they like the progress he is making after decades of socialist corruption and trade unions raping the country with the help of the government.

@jackvlloyd His ideas are horrific. Shock therapy. Massive deregulation. A billionaires wet dream; a working class union members enemy.
English
Javier Milei is a one-in-a-billion man.
But his ideas do not have to be rare.
The next generation can adopt his principled respect of property rights, free speech, free markets, and capitalist prosperity, and help make it the norm for the future.
Be the change you want to see.

@NotForSale80 @FinancialPhys @nypost They don't need to care. When capitalism is functioning in full gear prices are brought down and the COL is lowered. Argentina is a case study in real time, transitioning from what was basically fascism lite 1 party socialism in transition to libertarian esque capitalism
English
@pdethomasco @FinancialPhys @nypost Factually incorrect. Companies could pay as high as they want to go...and the government wouldn't stop them...but they don't care about Americans being able to afford anything. Government has always had to reign them in to keep them from gouging the public.

@MikeHudema Not even based on reality. Stopping the use of fossil fuels immediately would cause hundreds of millions to die. Never give these morons power.
English
What we must do immediately:
1) End the use of fossil fuels
2) Build massive amounts of solar & wind
3) Electrify everything
4) Localize
5) Conserve
5) Find solutions for the last hard stuff (planes, cement)
6) Stop cutting down forests

@NotForSale80 @FinancialPhys @nypost Only when politicians and bureaucrats keep their presence to the minimum to settle disputes do markets work. All or problems today are caused by politicians, not capitalists. Capitalists will always utilize capital, politicians need to be regulated and restrained.
English
@pdethomasco @FinancialPhys @nypost The market is bankrupting Americans. The only way Capitalism works is when it's heavily regulated.

@Pontifex I guess we are a few popes away, at least, from creating a new Christian military order to defend the Christians being slaughtered around the world. This guy isn't going to do it. The church would attract and maintain so many more believers if it defended them.
English
God does not bless any conflict. Anyone who is a disciple of Christ, the Prince of Peace, is never on the side of those who once wielded the sword and today drop bombs. Military action will not create space for freedom or times of #Peace, which comes only from the patient promotion of coexistence and dialogue among peoples.

@GovPressOffice Everyone who doesn't like a prick like you is MAGA? You are full of yourself.

MAGA pushing the same tired narrative, so we’ll share the facts:
✅ There are nearly 4x more company HQ launches within California than there are relocations out of California
✅ California is now home to the most Fortune 500 companies (2 years in a row)
✅ California is home to the most business starts of any state
✅ California is home to the most Inc 5000 companies (2 years in a row)
✅ California’s economy just grew for the 16th year in a row (5% last year)
✅ California’s economy hit a record $4.25 trillion — larger than any other state by more than $1 trillion

The company that tracks companies leaving California left California. CBRE moved its headquarters. So did Chevron, Oracle, Tesla, Charles Schwab, Palantir, Yamaha, Neutrogena, and Public Storage. Hundreds of headquarters. Thousands of jobs. One decade. California has over 420,000 regulatory restrictions — 100,000 more than the next closest state. Highest marginal income tax in the country: 13.3%. Florida, Tennessee, and Texas: zero. Either California is the problem — or every major company that left made the same mistake. h/t @TheFP

I have know Eric Swalwell for 21 ½ years. As I’ve stated multiple times: I haven’t heard a whif of anything regarding this type of behavior. However, the persons who is quoted in the SF chronicle is a credible witness and should be believed. That being said, Roger Stone has a hand in this and it needs a full investigation. Anything Roger Stone is involved with is by definition: Ratfucking. Therefore pump the brakes.
