I design chips for a rocket company. But my chips don’t control the ballistics. So it is literally true that I am not exactly a rocket scientist.

The disconnect between wealthy people and reality is staggering.

Kevin O’Leary reveals you’ll become a millionaire on $69,000/year by investing 20% of your paycheck each week👀 “Take 20% of your salary of $69,000 and put it into the market each week and don't touch it”

@Scaramucci So when they turned on those fire hydrants in the pacific palisades and no water came out, it was because Fox News had removed all the water?
English
Let me tell you exactly what Fox figured out in 1993.
Roger Ailes looked around and asked — who’s the threat?
Not Bill Clinton, the threat is Hillary Clinton.
They spent billions of dollars over decades destroying her narrative.
By the time she ran for president 51% of the country had a negative opinion of her before she said a word on the campaign trail.
That’s the playbook.
Now ask yourself — where’s the threat today? California.
The fourth largest economy in the world. Agriculture, Defense, Hollywood, Silicon Valley, AI. — which is literally the exportation of American culture globally.
A politician coming out of California from the left could beat the right decisively.
So what do you do?
Spend billions destroying the narrative around California.
Make it synonymous with crime and homelessness and radical politics.
Do it for two or three decades until the brand is toxic.
Newsom has an image problem today the exact same way Hillary had an image problem.
It was manufactured. Deliberately. Systematically.

@lil_turbo @MomsPostingLs Not easy but possible. I’ve known people who got the reversal surgery but it didn’t work.
English
@MomsPostingLs Aren't vasectomies like easy to reverse compared to having your tubes tied? I'm asking because I'm not really sure but I have heard that vasectomies are easy to reverse

@HeathMayo Yes, please explain to the 6,800 people whose homes were destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire that Democrats don’t want to tell them how to live their lives. The owner of the 1 house that has been rebuilt might believe you.
English
If Democrats want to dominate the MAGA GOP, it’s a simple message: “We don’t want to tell you how to live your life. We just want to make it easier and cheaper for you to live it. Here’s how.”

@Sidewalk_Steve “Well, I use my vagina, and Mary uses her penis.”
“Is Mary transgender?”
That’s why doctors make the big money.

"Well, I use my vagina, and Mary uses her penis." From an American Academy of Pediatrics training video on treating lesbians written by Dr. Jason Rafferty.

It depends on the system. In a tightly controlled economy, the only way to get rich is through the government. And since the government doesn’t create anything, that wealth has to be taken from somebody else. In a free economy, the only way to get rich is through voluntary exchange, which, by definition, is mutually beneficial.
English
@silent_v @blandCinema Not equally, this post claims that in a capitalist system, when the rich get more the poor get more which is the farthest from the truth.
English
Then why have my wages been stagnant for 20 year while the rich reap massive rewards?

Capitalism creates so there’s more for everyone. Socialism is the weaponization of greed and envy making everyone worse off.

I hate Donald Trump. I hate his face. I hate his smirk. I hate his voice. I hate his stunning ignorance and his arrogance. I hate his contempt for women and people of color. I hate his ill informed abuse of power. I hate his greed. I hate everything about him.

@TheJFreakinC It’s been 50 years since the courts started with the rulings that immigration wasn’t bound by the 4th amendment. I mean, I’m happy you’re finally aware, but this has been happening for decades.

🚨BREAKING: Border Patrol agents were caught attempting to force an arrest inside a private home… without a warrant. The video shows agents were already in someone’s front yard trying to detain a man. The homeowner comes out and tells them to leave, because they are on private property. The man they’re trying to detain is saying the same thing… you’re on private property… get out. Instead of backing off… an agent grabs him around the waist, trying to tackle the man. The man breaks free, crawling to the door, and goes inside the house. At that point, this should’ve been over. Because under the Constitution, entering a home without a warrant is one of the clearest lines law enforcement are not allowed to cross. But, they cross it anyway. One agent grabs his foot as he’s going in… and then both agents follow him inside the home, while the homeowner is actively telling them to get out. Over and over. This is exactly what the Supreme Court ruled against in Payton v. New York… law enforcement cannot enter a home to make an arrest without a warrant. And in Lange v. California… they made it clear you don’t get to chase someone into their home, for a non-serious offense, and call it “hot pursuit.” They were told to leave private property… and didn’t. They attempted a detention without respecting that boundary. And then forced their way into a home anyway. All without a warrant.
English
🚨BREAKING: Pam Bondi just said…“Being a citizen in our country is a privilege, not a right.”
Citizenship is a right, guaranteed by the Constitution… not something granted based on opinion, loyalty, or who they like.
This is authoritarian rhetoric.

@qunicel @TommyLe73651889 @conquistadorof1 @elonmusk I don’t have any doubt that Elon would trade places with a poor person from the future. He understands better than most how much better life is going to be in the 23rd century.
English
@TommyLe73651889 @conquistadorof1 @elonmusk Thats like saying Elon over here would gladly trade places with a poor person from 2200. Sure standard of living be better but wealthy ppl are wealthy cause they love hoarding resources over others which further increase the inequality

@GunnelsWarren 1. We used to have marginal tax rates above 90%
2. The 2018 move from 39.6% to 37% marginal tax rate was the largest tax cut in history
One, but not both, of these statements can be true.
English
Myth: If we tax billionaires they won't create jobs.
Fact: Last year, billionaires got the largest tax break in history. Now, they are literally planning to replace every worker in America with a robot or AI.
Trickle down economics is a scam. Tax billionaires out of existence.

@AlexTran677026 Had the movies come out in the opposite order, Top Secret would be considered one of the greatest comedies of all time and Airplane would be the cult classic.
English
"Top Secret!" (1984) is super silly and funny. This is a classic action comedy parody film by the trio Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker (the team behind Airplane! and The Naked Gun).
Val Kilmer plays the lead role – this is also his film debut.
Love Classical Music and Movies 🎺🎻💖🎥🎬@AlexTran677026
What's a movie scene that could never be filmed today?

I'm glad the beautiful woman from Top Secret!" (1984), Lucy Gutteridge age 69, is still alive. She's still hot, too.
English
99.85% of us are worth less than $50 million.
There is no reason the 260,000 households with more than that can't pay a 2% wealth tax.
Our tax code has thrown money their way for 40 years.
It's time we tax the rich and fund housing, childcare, education & paid leave instead.
English
@SaraForTexLege If your concern is with inequity in our tax system, why does your proposal not include any tax relief for low income people. Get rid of regressive taxes like SS or gas tax. For some reason, your fairness proposals always increase the size and power of the government. Shocker.

Me: Tax the rich
Q: But what about all the waste, fraud and abuse?
Me: investigate and prosecute waste, fraud and abuse AND tax the rich.
Q: But the rich create jobs
Me: Great. So they can enjoy the profits created from that labor AND pay taxes on that profit.
Q: It will just make them leave America.
Me: There is no tax haven in the world like the American tax haven. No they won’t.
Q: Our national debt is because spending is out of control!
Me: It is, but that is also something that rich people have trained you to say so that you’ll argue that they shouldn’t be taxed. Create Medicare for all ($600 billion in savings), cut the military budget in half ($500 billion). There’s a trillion right there. AND tax the rich.
Q: ….
Me: Exactly. Tax the rich.
English
@SenWarren The first 7 trillion you spend every year doesn’t work for American Families? But I’m sure the next trillion will.
English
Today, I'm introducing my wealth tax — and more than 50 members of Congress are joining me.
It’s time for the government to start working for American families, not just the ultra-rich.
