Yes in a heart beat. No use paying into a system I’m never going to get money out of.
And even if I were to get full benefits, it would be a better investment anyway to handle it myself in the private sector.
Social security is just a massive Ponzi scheme. Why is it criminal when regular people do it, but essential when the government does it?

Everyone is talking about the National Debt
But nobody is offering solutions.
So here goes…
If Social Security were optional, would you opt out?

Protesters are calling for increased funding for public education.

It is very difficult for rats in a sewer pipe to know what’s going on in the outside world. Some color for the Iranian Leadership as they literally sit in the dark:
1. The United States has complete control of the Strait of Hormuz.
2. There is a hard currency, i.e. U.S. dollar, shortage.
3. Food and gasoline rationing are in place.
4. The entire international community has turned against you.
5. The BLOCKADE will continue, until there is pre-February 27 Freedom of Navigation.

IEEPA Tariff Refund Status:
Here’s a graphic that may be a bit easier to understand than the first iteration.
Read more about it in this week’s edition of the Shipment!
Jacob Jensen@JJensen2020
IEEPA Tariff Refund Status Update: Here is a graphic representing the current status of IEEPA tariff refunds as of April 26. About 75,000 refund requests have been submitted, with 47,000 of those passing the first round of validation. Within these 47,000 declarations there were over 13 million import entries included. Each declaration can include up to 9,999 different import entries that can be refunded. The second validation round saw just over 11 million import entries pass (unknown how many of the 47,000 declarations). Out of the 11 million accepted entries, 1.74 million are now in the refund process and will take approximately 60 to 90 days to be refunded to importers. Notably, there is a substantial number of declarations that will have to be redone but the validation process seems to be going fast for now.

The more I see of Marco Rubio as Secretary of State, the more I think he would make an amazing President of the United States.
Are you guys leaning more toward Rubio or Vance in 2028?

@esjesjesj New England is 40% Republican but not a single GOP rep in all the districts they drew.
In a democracy, you can trample the rights of the minorities. Everyone does it, but apparently it’s only a bad thing when it’s not Democrats doing it.
English
Mississippi is approx 40% black
Alabama is 25%
Georgia is 33%
Louisiana is 33%
Tennessee is 15%
Florida is 15%
South Carolina is 25%
North Carolina is 20%
Purely racist ruling

@AlexNowrasteh @scottlincicome Point taken.
But can we still describe ourselves of even a common belief and behavior or have we lost that too?
Life experiences in Northern VA suggest we have indeed lost that which the founders knew was so critical to hold the nation together.

@marceelias Virginians can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates — which will be Democrats.
An absolute mockery of the law and stain on the VA state government.

Today's VRA decision is intellectually dishonest and wrong. The conservatives basically said: Black people can vote for their preferred candidates, as long as they prefer the right candidates -- which will be Republicans.
An absolutely mockery of the law and stain on the court.

@ImNotOwned What a terrible, ignorant take. Go on home, carpetbagger!

Probably the best state in the country in large part due to transplants to the moderately liberal cities and the liberal college towns.
Places like Lumberton aren’t the reason North Carolina is great

@nypost From the mountains to the coast, North Carolina is turning into a transplanted, liberal cesspit. They are ruining every single town in our once beautiful state.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention:
As it turns out, our heavily indebted government spent $435 million on the healthcare of a foreign country. In exchange, we got nothing.
With $435 million, we could have:
- Established a national lithium mining supply chain
- cover healthcare premiums for Medicaid for 87,000 Americans
- housed ~24,000 homeless people
- full SNAP benefits for 190,000 Americans
- College scholarships for 40,000 Americans at in state schools
- Paid off $435 million in interest
- Reduced the tax burden by $435 million
Instead, we gave it in healthcare aid to Zambia, which undoubtedly saved lives in Zambia although apparently at the expense of lives elsewhere, notably the United States.
With that soft power in Zambia, the United States got:
- Zambia to accept payments in Yuan for critical minerals
-????
If we’re truly concerned about saving lives, call the Church. The government is not meant to operate out of the kindness of its own heart on our dime, certainly not to foreign citizens, and certainly not for nothing in return.
A quick examination into the facts of this case have confirmed that, while tragic in the immediate term, the decision to obliterate USAID programs like this (also assuming there is no waste or fraud, which is a tall assumption) was and remains the correct decision.
English
In case anyone isn’t aware, Trump is demanding Zambia to hand over its mineral rights by end of day tomorrow or the U.S. gov’t will cut off the country’s access to the AIDS medications that are literally keeping its citizens alive.
Just thought y’all should know.

@AlexanderPayton When the VA admin changed, almost all the advantages of being in VA as a resident or business vanished nearly overnight.
Part of that pain could be healed by cheap liquor from the Pentagon City Costco.
It’s time to resquare DC.

They say we have to protect DREAMERS
They say we can’t separate families
They say we can’t deport children
Which is it? Can’t do border security, much less mass deportations, without violating at least one of these mutually exclusive goals.
As always, they’re all talk and virtue signaling but trying to sell an intellectually bankrupt point of view.
English
@noahforkansas Dreamers need to go and come back and do it the right way. How about protect American citizens first? What happened to that. No carve outs
English
Strong borders and humane treatment aren't opposites. We can deport violent criminals and protect DREAMers. We can use smart technology at the border and also fix a broken immigration court system. The politicians screaming at you that it's one or the other are using this issue to keep you scared and divided. I won't do that.
