@StacyS68795 @ProudSocialist That makes no sense. I refuse to allow the government to decide the value of my labor. If you agree then you’re not a socialist, if you disagree pick up a rifle.

@vertibird @ProudSocialist But your refusal to “play” isn’t zero sum at all.

Contrary to popular capitalist belief, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being a socialist or a communist. In fact, it is righteous to want a society rooted in putting the basic needs of the community over the endless greed of corporations.

@davidsirota Democrats care more about the Muslim vote than they do about your ability to travel freely. Fixed that headline for you.

Look, let's just say what's happening here: The GOP is hijacking planes to try to pass the SAVE Act.
They are holding TSA and the safety of the entire civil aviation system hostage for their completely unrelated ideological cause.
It's sickening.

Amazon has been paying a $15 minimum wage for YEARS while the national min wage (which you could actually do something about) has stayed at $7.25.
Amazon has created hundreds of billions of dollars of wealth for its employees.
Tell me more about how Amazon mistreats its employees.

This is nothing but a pressure campaign to cover up a history of union busting and creating poor working conditions for drivers. I stand with @Teamsters against this program and urge drivers to continue fighting for their right to collectively bargain.

Plumbers are 100 times more valuable to society than bartenders are.
Hope this clears things up for you.

My political journey:
1. As a young kid, I saw a woman holding her baby shot by the government, and no one was punished for it
2. Hate the thieving murderous individual rights violating state with every fiber of my being ever since
Rob Yates@ProsperCLT2023
My political journey: 1. grew up hating authority 2. thought i was republican 3. got to high school and discovered punk rock 4. realized republicans were a bunch of statist, freedom-hating, moralistic tyrant hypocrites 5. could never be a democrat - was politically homeless 6. got to college, heard Ron Paul speak and met dr. Walter Williams 7. went libertarian 8. moved to China, saw how awful communism is 9. got active as an anti war, pro freedom libertarian and haven't looked back

The A-10 is a museum piece, a giant gun the pilot rides like a horse. The gun itself, the GAU-8 Avenger, has seven barrels of rotating depleted uranium, longer than a VW Beetle and twice as heavy. It fires 3,900 rounds a minute with a sound like God ripping a bedsheet. This monstrosity is propelled by two 3,000-hp megajets and vestigial wings. When it fires long enough, it stops mid-air. It’s that musky, tobacco-farm, high-T energy—enough chest hair to suffocate a lion. An absolute unit. A plane that instills terror in everything stupid enough to be standing in front of it. It’s a ridiculous contraption that America just can’t quit.

@gmiller One makes our lives better, the other creates cars that destroy our environment. What is your point, exactly?

Fun facts about data center jobs:
A 1-billion watt AI data center can cost about $35 billion to build, covering 10 million square feet, using about 5,000 temporary construction workers for 1-3 years.
But once it's up and running, it'll employ only about 500 people.
That's about as many as two Walmart stores.
By contrast, the Ford Highland Park Plant automobile factory in Detroit (operating 1910-1974) was 4 million square feet, and employed about 50,000 workers.
If you think big facilities automatically mean lots of jobs, you're not understanding just how automated these data centers are.
AI lobbyists often promise that data centers will 'create lots of permanent new jobs'. Politicians funded by the AI industry echo these promises.
Both are lying to you.

@thoughtographic Nobody deserves anything other than what they work for.

I honestly don’t care how many people you think died under past communist “regimes”.
It doesn’t change the fact that everyone deserves food, housing, healthcare and the ability to live a dignified life. Capitalism won’t do this and it’s literally destroying our planet.

@ianmSC She’s not economically illiterate, she needs the votes of people who are.

Gotta respect Elizabeth Warren for seizing on an idea so bad that it cost California quite literally over a trillion dollars in residents and taking it nationally because she and over 50 colleagues are economically illiterate

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.

@cafreiman No “Before increasing taxes”. Starve it. Starve it to death before it eats us all.
English
The government already spends more than $6.2 trillion every year, so we should ask if we’re actually getting our money’s worth before increasing taxes further.
Melanie D'Arrigo@DarrigoMelanie
This would raise $6.2 trillion over 10 years, and if used properly, could drastically improve American lives. The only reason we don’t have an ultra-millionaire tax now is because billionaires and ultra-millionaires pour millions into elections each year to prevent it.

@BeardyBrandon She’s not stupid, she knows this. She needs the votes of people who are stupid.

Tell me you don't know how rich people operate without telling me you don't know how rich people operate.
Rich people, the kind she is talking about, don't stick money in a safe like Scrooge McDuck.
They have assets, but don't own them. They own companies, and have shares, or their trust has shares, or... whatever. But this is just pandering to the dumb Americans who think Elon is sitting on a bank account with a trillion dollars.
I'm all for finding ways to tax the rich more, but the rich are smarter than this.

It's just common sense. We shouldn't ask Californians to pay more until Sacramento does better. California already costs too much. Before we make it even more expensive with higher taxes, let's demand better.

The thing that must particularly scare Big Tech about the Meta ruling is that an Attorney General from one of the poorest states in the country defeated the legal army of one of the world's largest tech giants.
If New Mexico can do this, it means other, bigger states can too.

@RepCasar @SenSanders Are fucking kidding me? Of all the things government should have nothing to do with this must be near the top of a long, long list.

Today, @SenSanders and I introduced the Home Team Act.
Too often, billionaire sports team owners are getting richer while fans and taxpayers get screwed.
Our bill requires team owners to offer locals the chance to buy a team before moving it away.
