When reading stories in the news I am often left wondering if the writer is actually that dumb. This is the same when listening to politicians. If they both treat their audience as smarter people this country would truly be in a better place.

@WallStreetMav Not elect @BarackObama.

Can anyone tell us exactly when everything in society just started a severe downward trend? Was there something we could have done differently?

@KarenBassLA avoiding truth exposure from @spencerpratt.

@WallStreetApes How long until it's bum infested?

Los Angeles is launching it’s the new LA Metro's 'Ride the D' campaign The LA Metro D Line subway train just opened a new section today Metro made “Ride the D” T-shirts, crop tops, hoodies, and hats which all sold out within a day of release It’s a new underground train route that now goes from downtown LA straight out to Beverly Hills along Wilshire Blvd 3 new stations are being added - Wilshire/La Brea (serves Miracle Mile, Hancock Park, Windsor Square). - Wilshire/Fairfax (serves Fairfax District, The Grove, Museum Row, Carthay Circle). - Wilshire/La Cienega (gateway to Beverly Hills, near Restaurant Row). Travel time from Downtown LA to Wilshire/ La Cienega should take about 20 minutes with no transfers

@LeadingReport Ivermectin?

Moderna is working on early-stage hantavirus vaccines.

The @WHO said the same thing about #COVID. Question everything.

@WallStreetApes That's actually regular price in big cities.

American is house hunting in Los Angeles, California One of the apartments is $2,500 per month. No utilities included. Parking in extra 🚨 She’s then told you just pay a monthly subscription for her electronic house key Read that again “You must subscribe to a monthly membership to use your key fob. If you don't, you will not be able to access your unit that you pay $2,500 for. What are we doing? — everyone has lost their f*cking mind” We just fiercely reject this. We can no allow corporations to make everything a monthly fee, right down to your house keys

@ClownWorld I would request that charge removed.

@LeadingReport There are affordable homes in the suburbs for younger individuals. They need to understand that the perfect situation happens over time while building wealth

The typical age of first-time buyers has reached a record high of 40, according to NAR, while repeat buyers have also hit a record high at 62.

What brand is overpriced / not worth the money?

@SeanUnfiltered I believe a Masters is helpful. Especially the one you received to help in your field of work. It can give a different perspective you previously didn't picture. Congrats!

I got a Masters Degree from (TexasA&M) fairly recent as a promise to my mom and dad when I graduated from USC✌️ While I am very proud and know the effort it took, I still wonder if it has any juice in the job market world?

@SydneyLWatson If that CT scan machine was midrange and cost $1 million, they would recoup that within 150 uses at 7k. It's a scam.

I will add - if my bill had come back and been something more normal, I'd just grumble, pay it and move on. But 8k is absurd. And I'm not gonna be scalped.

Seen a lot of conversation about how predatory the American medical system is. So I will weigh in. I ended up going to the ER about 2 weeks ago for crippling pain. Turned out to be a ruptured ovarian cyst. I was there for MAYBE 4 hours. My bill? $13,500 dollars. Because I'm uninsured (by choice, that shit is a SCAM), the hospital dropped my bill down to $8,100 and some change as an "uninsured" discount. For starters, $13,500 for a 4 hour hospital visit is insane as it is. But the fact the hospital can wipe $5,000 off the bill "just because" should show you how utterly fucked this system is. And to be clear - $8,000 is still an absolutely insane sum of money when all these people did was scan my stomach and give me some pain killers. On my itemized bill, my CT scan was 7k. The iodine they used was $900. Just being in the ER room alone was $2,500. We phoned the hospital to haggle. They dropped the price by $20. Normal people can't survive this shit. I do okay and $8,000 is still an INSANE chunk of money out of my savings. Anyone who argues this isn't a disgusting, predatory system is crazy. And it is even crazier that Americans accept this. And for those of you who argue this is the free market, I need you to be quiet. There can never be a true free market here when government and insurance have their creepy little fingers in this pie. People shouldn't go bankrupt trying to pay medical bills. This has to change.

@VitalVegas Tipping is not required. In addition, most services do not warrant or deserve a tip.

Follow-up: informed older couple from Iowa tipped zero for a $10 million jackpot, not even the $4 left on the machine after the jackpot. Cashed it out and took it with them. Do better, humans.

@GovTimWalz Correction: You allowed and contributed to fraud and they're cleaning it up.

If you commit fraud in Minnesota you’re going to get caught — and that’s exactly what we saw today. We catch criminals when state and federal agencies share information. Joint investigations work, and securing justice depends on it.

@Riley_Gaines_ Let them come for about 2 years, then call and consolidate them down. Never pay the full amount.

It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail. Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online. It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.

@LeadingReport He gave the same warning 25+ years ago.

Al Gore warns of ‘The Day After Tomorrow’-like climate disruption risk within 25 years.

@CollinRugg @AshtonForbes Chart of all the Scientists/Researchers that have Gone Missing Recently 😬😳

@TheDemocrats never cared about skyrocketing #gas prices during @JoeBiden's record #inflation.

@DanPatrick Everything else besides property taxes. We want zero property taxes.

Big news for Texas food truck owners! Starting July 1, the costly maze of city-by-city permits will be replaced with a single statewide license. One permit, one inspection, anywhere in Texas. One Bryan-area owner currently pays $2,400 a year in permits across multiple cities — under the new law, that drops to just $238 per truck. That's real money back in the pockets of small business owners. A win for Texas entrepreneurship! #txlege bit.ly/4t5VPnB

@LesleyBrionesTX is a puppet. She can't think for herself.
