@austinmobility No, no more bonds until we know where the money from the last few really went. Why does the Austin Government think the residents pockets are bottomless. Spending per Resident, that is not free money that is from our Property and other local taxes.

@anders_aslund Yeah because we haven't already done enough over and over and over again.

Trump is highly dependent on European air bases for his war on Iran. The European countries should demand that the US stands up for Ukraine with arms and finances or gets kicked out of Europe.

@PattyMurray No you don't pay that much, your employer pays half and you pay half. Yourself employed you don't even pay that much because there's a mechanism to reduce how much you have to pay in. Why do they lie? Do they think people just believe them and don't understand how things work?

If you make under $184k, you pay a 12.4% Social Security tax rate. Everything after that cap is exempt from the tax. So if you make $1 million per year, you pay about 2.2%. And it's 0.002% for billionaires. If we lifted the cap, Social Security could be funded for decades.

@BladeoftheS I'm sure this is rage bait, because if it isn't I'm concerned for you.

We don't need a Wealth Tax, we need a 100% tax on all wealth above a certain amount. Lets say $100m, that's more than enough. We need to outlaw outrageous wealth, not just try reduce it a bit. Billionaires are a danger to everything and everyone. As you can clearly see.

@MatrixMysteries This is just a lie

Americans are waking up to how INSANE food prices have gotten. He orders 2 soups, 2 grilled cheese sandwiches, and 1 other sandwich at Panera Bread — then stares at the total: $71. For soup and sandwiches. Panera Bread is owned by a private equity firm.

@sharitaylor2020 @4TaxFairness We all know the reason this is so they can say the evil other party held back what would have really done good but now we can't do it

@4TaxFairness Why don’t they ever do these things when they have the majority or an actual chance of getting it passed?

BREAKING: Elizabeth Warren, with Reps. Jayapal and Boyle, just dropped the ULTRA-MILLIONAIRE TAX ACT. The bill creates a 2% wealth tax on $50 million households, and an additional 1% wealth tax on billionaires. It raises $6.2 TRILLION from just 260,000 households. Obvious W.

@4TaxFairness I thought you were the Americans for tax fairness group, It just goes to show you that no matter what you name yourself it doesn't necessarily apply.

@DavidJHarrisJr I'm sure you could figure it out if you tried but perhaps you get a member of your staff to do it for you. I'm poor and dumb and I figured it out

What's your response to Joe Scarborough?

@elonmusk We're doomed to unoriginality and AI content cannibalizing itself. It's almost the end of real thought

AI content will vastly exceed all human content

@autumnsdad1 No

Would you ever stop listening to an artist or stop watching an actor or actress simply because of their political beliefs?

@OurKingYeshua @55SweetThing They can't get a permit to do that in a private store they should be asked to lift leave and if they don't they should be trespassed and dragged out by the cops

@55SweetThing did they get a permit to protest? his has become a real problem. This is not how our constitution defines free speech, nor the laws concerning "peaceful" protests. It has just become a disgusting display for attention seekers.

What about you? If protesters were blocking you in the aisle while you’re grocery shopping, would you plow through or go around?

@paulb3rd How about showing the full receipt instead of just the total.

A burrito bowl and shitty service at chipotle is now $20. Meanwhile, you can get an 11 oz sirloin, 2 sides, and rolls at Texas Roadhouse for $17. What’s going on here?

@2RawTooReal And where did they get their information from? Are they talking about genderless bathrooms where it's basically either sex but one at a time or is it like the picture.

Since people want data, let’s go over it according to the williams Institute of law. Having non-discriminatory laws IN restroom DOES NOT increase likelihood of assault. (source williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/publications/s…)

What’s your thoughts on genderless restrooms 🚽 I personally don’t see the problem

@BenjaminDEKR @AIandDesign Use the word I which means you, most of us like having a real person and have decent social skills.

@AIandDesign I mostly find it annoying and redundant.

What is the point of hotel check-in desk people anymore? Why isn't this 100% automated? Verify your ID, pay, get entry code. Why are humans still doing this?

@EvilFuGuru What? nope. If you are using RE1 etc. as an example you are even more wrong. The pre-rendered backgrounds throw your theory out of the window, before even the dogs jumped in. see: Alone in the Dark from 4 years earlier.

They can be understood, but they still suck. Tank controls are a relic from when game devs hadn’t perfected character movement in 3D spaces.

Austin councilman Zo Qadri’s constituents have never been less safe.

@Qwik @RepNancyMace @Delta it was as much for security and flow.

We applaud @Delta. If the Senate can't get it together and fund TSA, let them feel what every other American is feeling. Stand with the people you're supposed to serve.

@mortgagetruth Pessimistic people can turn anything into a negative or a meh.

It's funny when mortgage rates go up .50%, everyone says we're doomed. But when rates fall .50%, everyone says it's actually not a huge difference in payment.

@WesternLensman What would he arrest them for? Not saying I agree or disagree with them being there but really what would he arrest them for? He's just looking to incite people so you can get reelected.

Philly DA Larry Krasner threatens ICE agents working at the airport with arrest: "The president cannot pardon you. I will put you in handcuffs. And if necessary, I will put you in a jail cell." Krasner was promising to hunt down ICE agents like Nazis a couple of months ago.

@Geniustechw Nope because we're secure in who we are and who we were. If it's a sports team it's pretty cool having one with that name and graphic. Your rage bait isn't going to work on everybody thank God.

White people, does this shirt offend you..??

@JamesLucasIT Of all the decades to ask that question of is the '30s. Lol. I'm f****** believable.

This is a New York City newsstand in the 1930s Genuine question: why no overweight people?
