@gillie_david This is genuinely beautiful, congrats.
Too bad you’ve a cave ogre’s intelligence when it comes to inflation

First Cider of the year! From this rebuilt 130+ year old press using period wood from bottom of Otter Lake, Mich. all original metal & some wood. Took me -3 hours to turn 2.5 home grown organic apples from my yard into +4 Gallons of cider. Much easier than my brand-new cider mill. & DELICOUS!




English

@gillie_david @Lotusian42 @GaryWinslett Dude you’re incredibly stupid. Like ooga booga monkey brain. Average American voter type shit.
English

@Lotusian42 @GaryWinslett People make bad judgements EITHER way. Inflation has destroyed MUCH more than deflation. Overall, in macro, over time and on average.
Not to mention, inflation is fraud to bankers/Govt whereas deflation is honest consequence of increased productivity. Choose moral.
English

That you actually want about 2% inflation, not zero and certainly not deflation. Deflation is bad.
M. Nolan Gray 🥑@mnolangray
What's something that experts/practitioners in your field universally agree upon, but that remains a "hot take" among the general public?
English

@Josevato11 @pandem1cleo @itcamefromthed @GaryWinslett Inflation adds meaningful pressure to keep your money invested in appreciating assets—the kind which grow our country and economy.
English

@pandem1cleo @itcamefromthed @GaryWinslett I don't advocate hoarding (tho I don't think it's the boogeyman either), but that still doesn't explain why inflation is superior to stable currency valuation

@SkolerMurray @mindsmattersmd @DuBoseDefense GOP, registered Republican, endorsed by Republicans.
Keep up bub.

@mindsmattersmd @DuBoseDefense He's way to gay to be Maga

@mindsmattersmd @DuBoseDefense If this was a joke, you need to know that irony doesn't really work in text.

@mindsmattersmd @DuBoseDefense He going through Trump MAGA nervous breakdown because he’s a liberal flower.

@HamptonPrezcott You would be surprised how many families move to the suburbs from SF and continue to use private schools.
English

Under-discussed nuance here. Wealthy families (who can afford private school) actually tend to stay in the city (close-in residential enclaves) to raise their kids. The next tier is effectively forced to move 30-45 minutes away to find a decent school system.
Murray Hill Guy@MurrayHillGuy1
How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?
English

@jfberke @drizzydru2 @andruyeung Currently the predominant market (Uber) price is set at:
- What driver needs + Uber cut
If everyone uses Empower the price becomes:
- What driver needs + Empower fee
If Empower fee is lower, and everyone uses Empower, rates will sustainably decrease.
English

@drizzydru2 @andruyeung Sure, but I'm saying I don't think it's sustainable.
English

My new favorite NYC life hack: take Ubers for ~50% of the price
It’s called Empower
I took a car from Manhattan to Newark during peak time. It cost $61 (usually >$120)
What’s the catch? I looked into it:
Drivers pay a monthly subscription fee to be listed on the app. In return empower takes no cut (vs 30% from Uber)
Drives set their own prices
So legally they are not a ride share biz but a marketplace
Founder is a lawyer who interned at the White House. He figured this out!
P.s. this is NOT a paid promo. Just had a great experience that is all.

@Erickschultz11 @MackinacCenter Yeah so does my brother and grandpa lmao.. still.. they should be defended and improved.. done a lot for us
English

@tinycrocs @MackinacCenter I know unions that don't do a good job.
English

The right to refuse to associate with those whom we disagree with is essential to free speech.

English

@Erickschultz11 @MackinacCenter Not what happened here.. this is truly dangerous precedent they are arguing for.. would hurt many workers
English

@MackinacCenter A union that suppresses free speech is not a union.
English

@GI__JD @CREID2852 @Legal_Fil Yeah my feed does the same. Hard to stay informed.
I don’t know though—I hope it’s just bots & loonies.
English

@tinycrocs @CREID2852 @Legal_Fil That fringe is very active on X and Instagram and on TV.
Perhaps my feed is not a good reflection of population.
English

@GI__JD @CREID2852 @Legal_Fil Anyone wishing for that is not American. That’s a fringe. Not democrats or even leftists.
I’ve seen support for us getting the hell out of Iran. I haven’t seen rooting for American death.
Not saying it hasn’t happened.. but yeah.. that’s the fringe man
English

@CREID2852 @Legal_Fil It is acceptable to be against war and seek peace and reconciliation but an American should not be rooting for the enemy or the death of our servicemen.
English

@TheSoleWitness @spudchungus @bumbadum14 Dude it is impossible to distinguish 99 of the 100 facets of daily life in Sterling, VA and Chandler, AZ
Uniqueness is an exception, not the norm. Suburban sameness dominates the boonies of WV and the downtown of Austin, TX alike
English

@spudchungus @bumbadum14 No uniqueness among states? You can only say this if you stay on the interstate highways and literally never veer off them
English

Tbh this is the insanity of American governance.
Every 4 years we have a massive insanely public election to select the leader of our country.
That person has untold power, and can go and vaporize entire nations off the face of the earth. He can kidnap foreign leaders, he can do so much.
But he can’t go to American cities and fix them. He can’t fix American states.
The President of America has more power over the world than he does over his own country.
Jackson Hinkle 🇺🇸@jacksonhinklle
While Trump is attacking Iran, this is what Los Angeles looks like.
English

@Sir_radington @Genjillionaire Dude it’s lowkey easy to see the point in that video.. don’t get pressed..
English

@Genjillionaire comments like this are why so many people don't take racism seriously anymore: folks like you throw the word around at literally anything.
English

@DanBiancoNYC @Chris_Mench @Blizzard_Advsry @3_under_scores_ You misread his point man cmon. Dont go acting like a fool yourself…
The idea is that the $21B might be just to build the new base for these units.. so the units will cost even more on top to build..
Still—I say go ahead!! This is great
English

@Chris_Mench @Blizzard_Advsry @3_under_scores_ Zero units in a new neighborhood?? haha You’re an idiot. haha
English

There has to be a way to get more than 12,000 units for $21 billion ($1,725,000 per a unit) in NYC
Chris Sommerfeldt@C_Sommerfeldt
Mamdani is asking Trump for $21 billion in federal grants for the Sunnyside Yards housing development they discussed in their White House meeting today, City Hall finally confirms. politico.com/news/2026/02/2…

@jxrbot @iAnonPatriot The discipline they showed was more then i could have put up with.
I probably would’ve put a couple shots in the air though.
