@Dos_A_ @Angie7658Angie @andywalkerhq youtube.com/shorts/ttxjeFf… They can be found in wheel wells, under seats, or down behind the engine... they're not all just sitting there under the hood.

@Angie7658Angie @andywalkerhq What cars? Because there are devices that make it practically a matter of removing the old battery and putting in a new one in any car... Serious question (no sarcasm)

Battery died in my car. Called a mobile repair business. This is what they quoted me for replacement. What do you guys think?

@andywalkerhq What car is it some cars have insanely inaccessible batteries.

@BirdNewEngland @NatNatureSquad @bitappend @trwsenti I've also had 30+ days PTO and "unlimited" PTO. I still worked about 227 days a year. As a 1099 it's built into the rate I demand, it works out the same in the end, but now I get to choose my own holidays.

@NatNatureSquad @thekab92 @bitappend @trwsenti Did you have a job requiring any skill? Even in hourly positions during college I had more than that.

28 days of annual leave. Out of 365. Your employer owns 337 days of your year. You get 28. And half of those you spend recovering from the other 337. How is this the "good deal" everyone told you to be grateful for?

@MmMusez @MatrixMysteries Healthcare was unaffordable before Trump ever took office.

@MatrixMysteries in other places, its so cheap its given out for free if u're citizen and like less than 20 bucks for foreigners For whoever said its obama's fault, its trump's 'The Great Healthcare Plan' fault, instead of insurance squeezing the gov, they squeeze u, the american

A daughter watches her mom’s health collapse Her diabetes medication was affordable — until they suddenly raised it to $2,000 per prescription They tried EVERYTHING — coupons, discounts, anything Nothing worked. Healthcare didn’t just fail her — it priced her out of survival

@JohnnySlokes2 @TheRealJChubby Yes if only it weren't for people keeping the products of their labor we could all live in utopia. If only we took it at gunpoint and gave it to a small group to distribute we could all be happy.

@TheRealJChubby Even if there was no jobs and everyone had to live independently, you would still have to work to survive. You think food just magically shows up at the grocery store?

Survival shouldn't depend on working. There is more than enough to meet everyone's needs.

@TheRealJChubby Ah yes, I have a right to your food, labor and shelter, give it to me. This always ends in prosperity.

@BladeoftheS "Only in Capitalism is too much electricity a problem." Well yes... because socialist countries never have enough of anything...

Only in Capitalism is too much electricity a problem. Every other system would build storage and then the cost of electricity would go through the floor. But of course the 'cost' is their profits.

@NatNatureSquad @BirdNewEngland @bitappend @trwsenti I have zero PTO and I work ~227 days a year (aka the average in America). How is this possible?

@BirdNewEngland @bitappend @trwsenti 31% of employees in America get zero days PTO.

@james3211110469 @HungDoArtShow @bitappend @trwsenti Yeah you keep telling yourself Americans are working 365 days a year.

@HungDoArtShow @bitappend @trwsenti "It hasn't happened to me in my very limited and specific life so it doesn't happen to any American ever"

@jd197288 @trwsenti What if you own a business with no shareholders? What if the business only asked you to come into work 22.8% of the year, would that be ok? What if they gave you a raise every year that was CPI+1%?

@trwsenti The only grateful people in the world should be business owners …but unfortunately every single one are greedy fucks right next to their shareholders and their greed ..those folks are the worst on the planet bar none ..then ya just go down the ladder with politicians , and so on

@loeffl_oliver @georgeregnery @trwsenti It's sarcasm, it makes as much sense as the OP.

@georgeregnery @trwsenti What? Am I the one with a stroke or do you need medical assistance?

@Engineervlsi @grok @JohnBaima @DarrigoMelanie It's revenue. But that's not Disney's revenue either. Their profit was actually higher at 12.4 billion for 2025. However profit and taxable income are still not the same, they were able to lower their federal to zero using various write offs.

@thekab92 @grok @JohnBaima @DarrigoMelanie Then what is it?

Disney: $8.3B in profits $0 paid in taxes CVS Health: $6.57B in profits $0 paid in taxes Tesla: $5.7B in profits $0 paid in taxes Citigroup: $4.45B in profits $0 paid in taxes United Airlines: $4.3B in profits $0 paid in taxes Coinbase: $1.62B in profits $0 paid in taxes Palantir: $1.58B in profits $0 paid in taxes PayPal: $1.43B in profits $0 paid in taxes Yum! Brands: $1B in profits $0 paid in taxes At least 88 companies reported $105B in profits last year, and paid $0 in taxes. But Republicans want you to think someone working 40 hours a week for poverty wages, relying on SNAP and Medicaid to survive, is the problem. itep.org/88-profitable-…

@sakpo0007_ Well this is a continuation of Paul talking about sex so a 3 year old just isn't going to understand.

Can someone pls explain this Bible verse to me like I’m a 3 year old?

@ozjaus @tibblion2 @grok @SenWarren You mean they follow the rules written by Congress. If only Senator Warren was in Congress she could do something about it.

@tibblion2 @grok @SenWarren Corporations play a lot of games to reduce their taxable income to 0. It’s not necessarily fair, as you imply.

If you paid even a penny in federal income tax last year, you paid more than: Tesla Southwest Disney Live Nation HP United PayPal CVS Health Palantir Citigroup PG&E 3M That's right. They paid $0 in federal income tax. It's time for big corporations to pay their fair share.

@tibblion2 @grok @SenWarren Of course she does that's why she lied about her ancestry.

@grok @SenWarren @grok, Why would SenWarren ignore all of this? It seems like a really disingenuous way to manipulate voters. Does she assume voters are idiots?

@giveashitnature Projected, let's see what happens in reality. They will look for cheaper alternatives, like turning everything into a 79 car lot, or just selling the land for development if it's economically unviable.

France passed a law requiring solar panels on every parking lot with more than 80 spaces. Parking lots over a certain size have three to five years to cover at least half their surface area with solar canopies or face fines. The projected output: up to 11 gigawatts of capacity, the equivalent of 10 nuclear reactors. The panels shade the cars. They can charge EVs directly underneath them. They generate electricity for the grid. The parking lot goes from dead infrastructure to power plant without using a single additional acre of land. France plans to increase solar tenfold and double wind capacity by 2033. The US has approximately 800 million parking spaces. Eight hundred million. Most of them are uncovered asphalt sitting in direct sunlight. Why aren't we doing this?

@JimHeath2001 @beyond_capital That would make socialists the number one cause and it's not even close.

@beyond_capital Yep. It can be called social murder.

Any of you facing this?

@ClintFiore Yes and it's getting worse. No helmet, wheelies in the street, blasting through intersections, illegal U turns, no brake lights or signals, etc. In the parking lot, on the sidewalk, in the street... sometimes on the wrong side.

My bro in suburban Denver says there's an absolute "plague" of kids on e-bikes and e-dirtbikes bombing around the streets and neighborhoods at high speeds. 7-14 year old boys equipped with capabilities they're not mature enough to handle safely, drive like banshees through yards and intersections and golf courses etc. I don't see too many of those here in small town TX and when I do they don't seem to be terrorizing anyone. Curious if this is happening where you live or not. Is this a big deal?

@grok @JohnBaima @DarrigoMelanie Pretax income is not profit. They asked about profit. A business does not pay tax on revenue.

Yes, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy's April 2026 analysis of 2025 corporate 10-K filings, Walt Disney reported $8.3 billion in U.S. pretax income and $0 in federal income tax. ITEP defines this as zero tax provision on domestic profits per the income tax notes (after legal credits, deductions, and timing differences). Disney is one of 88 companies they identified with $105B combined U.S. pretax profits and zero federal tax. Cash payments can differ due to deferrals.

@francossian @simongerman600 Then this should be accompanied by an increase in measles death, right?

@simongerman600 Argentina went from the highest measles vaccination rate in South America to the lowest, in under a decade. Seems as if the correlation between right-wing popularity and low vaccination rate isn't just a US thing.

We will read histories of today’s US in a few decades and wonder how something like this could happen. Slowly allowing Polio and Measles to celebrate comebacks is pure stupidity.
