@iplow1 Hi Doug. Just checking in on your last comment

a big Hill fight ahead - @FarmBureau and key ag groups say in letter to President Trump that farmers are hitting their "breaking point" amid Iran war, inflation + severe weather they press him to add farm aid $ in any Iran war pkg - after "closure of the Strait of Hormuz sent fuel and fertilizer prices skyrocketing" fb.org/files/Ag-Lette…

Most folks—it stands to reason—have no idea whether or not your premise is valid as they aren’t in agriculture. There’s plenty to dislike about Trump and Biden relating to the financial woes in ag…but a president sworn into office just 9 months ago didn’t start a situation that began over two years ago.

Do you believe that, generally speaking, people should face the consequences of their own financial decisions?

I remember a friend once saying, "I would prefer to put my kids in the Wal-Mart of daycare. Big companies understand liability"
What are areas of life where you prefer to deal with a BIG company, not an individual business owner?
Examples: Landlord, accountant, hotel

Lol a @vrbo host cancelled my mom’s rental the day she was supposed to check in on my WEDDING weekend, and now can’t find her a new place to stay. Another reminder to just book hotels people

Posting about income equality and not getting underperforming right-wing men earning $55,000/year to shriek incoherently about why taxing billionaires would be unfair

@RealGautamAtri You are closer to being homeless than being a billionaire and yet you still lick their boots
English
@ramit Lol Let's say the Govt. Takes a trillion dollars from these people. How long do you think it'll take the Govt to spend it. Do you think you're getting some? Or people getting the money? If you do, you're quite dumb.
English
Agreed
Only thing more pathetic than billionaires fighting against billionaire tax increases is non billionaires fighting against billionaire tax increases

"only broke-ass billionaires would care about a little tax" overheard a girl in sf say this

@TeamGetDoe For everyone seeing “Jflo”’s comment, you can easily spot it’s a bot arguing in bad faith
I estimate 95%+of right-wing commenters are bots on Twitter

Terrible policy. Stop with the gimmicks: Suspending a gas tax, a one-time billionaire’s tax, these are all temporary distractions from systemic issues like housing affordability. It’s like you’re running for middle-school class president and promising a pizza party
Mayor Matt Mahan@MattMahanSJ
Californians are fed up, and they deserve real relief at the pump. That’s why this week, I released my plan to suspend the gas tax, so working families don’t have to “shop around” for gas they can afford.

@ramit I did a full spreadsheet breakdown and loom video for my dad because he wouldn't shut the fuck up telling me to buy a house... He was shocked and onboard after

When you buy, you'll spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on irrecoverable costs like:
- Interest
- Transaction fees
- Maintenance
- Opportunity cost
But the real Q to ask:
1. How does the math work out for buying vs renting?
2. What about the non-financial considerations?

@ramit how much money will I be throwing away buying a home?

@ZoneZeroNYC @arnieFSU2013 @katieporterca DOGE was one of the most miserable failures of the last 50 years and you still haven't learned a thing
English
@arnieFSU2013 @ramit @katieporterca NYC has a budget of $116B for fiscal year 26. Instead of begging for more every year why would government not make a food faith effort to show they are good stewards of our tax dollars? Automation could occur within months. Savings from layoffs go to programs you support
English
0% state income tax for California families making under $100,000. That’s thousands of dollars back in your pocket where it belongs.
As Governor, I’ll work the issue at both ends—lowering taxes for those who are struggling and raising them on the biggest corporations that can afford to pay.
English
@ramit There is a type of person who feels powerful when they spend a lot of money on something. I think this drives most of the uber luxury economy.

Max rates for the Bulgari Hotel in Paris
In what circumstance would you spend €7400/night on a room?
English
@MattMahanSJ Respectfully, you know better. How can you expect people to take you seriously when you use these gimmicks? Tackle the root cause of affordability in California, not these superficial tricks
English
Some experts say gas prices could go to $7 per gallon. That’s why we need a temporary suspension of our state’s gas taxes, which are the highest in the nation. California leaders say they care about working families. Let’s make them prove it with a temporary suspension of our gas taxes while gas prices remain so high.

You should know the areas of life that you love to spend extravagantly on -- and the areas you cut mercilessly on. Use your money to spend on the things you love, guilt free

I love this photo. I'm obsessed with the usefulness of things I use EVERY DAY -- specialty coffee beans, beautiful sweaters, great gym gear -- and allergic to overplanning for things that I'd rarely use, like an RV that gets taken camping once/year

@drvolts A few years ago UCLA did a study on room usage. I often think about how useless a porch/dining room is. Why hasn't there been more innovation around how people ACTUALLY use their space in their homes? wsj.com/articles/SB100…
