@EricBalchunas Social security can sustain itself at 75-80% of its current payout rate from payroll tax revenue alone. It doesn’t need a savior, we just need adults in Washington. And adults in Washington wouldn’t buy equity ETFs with taxpayer $$. Unfortunately, we haven’t been electing adults
Anti-Israel.
Anti-America.
Anti-Western Civilization.
Why am I the only Democrat in the U.S. Senate that refuses to excuse this or defend any of those self-identified communists?
Charlie Munger: “If you're a pure socialist, you're a nutcase. An absolute nutcase. Not a modest nutcase, but a real nutcase. You can be a perfect nut with a high IQ."
The year is 1825. Inequality is surging as industrial expansion begins to boom across the USA.
John Jacob Astor, a fur trader and real estate investor becomes the USA's first millionaire.
Socialist politicians explode in anger and tell the American public that this inequality is unfair and we need to ban millionaires so this never happens again.
Fast forward 200 years - the politicians were ignored. The USA has become the wealthiest country in human history by a huge margin. The median American is wealthier than 90% of the rest of the world. Capitalism won.
BET: NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised city-owned groceries stores but Polymarket actually delivered with the city's first free grocery store. Capitalists doing socialism better than socialists... 😂
The Census Bureau says that 11% of Americans live in poverty.
But when you count the federal benefits that people receive, it’s really closer to 1%.
We should be honest and give the American taxpayer a little credit for lifting folks out of poverty.
2003: MSNBC host Joe Scarborough worries California may start issuing driver’s licenses to illegal aliens.
“By giving these criminals the most accepted form of identification in America, the California Democrats buy votes for themselves.”
“This plan seems to me to legitimize illegal immigration once and for all. And it’s dangerous.”
“They’re breaking the law. It’s that simple. If you break the law, you shouldn’t get a driver’s license. You shouldn’t be in our country.”
JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon on why most leaders fail at meritocracy:
"One of the tough things about management is you have to get rid of the bad people."
Dimon argues that leaders often talk about meritocracy but fail to act on it. Execution is the problem, not philosophy.
"Very often you have people who are unwilling to get rid of the bad people. Bad could be because their culture is bad. It also could be because they're not good enough."
He points to the difference between business and sports:
"In sport, if you're not batting 250, you're not going to be playing second base. You take out a pitcher who's not doing a good job. In business, they're left in those jobs for a long time."
Dimon recalls being challenged early in his career after demoting a long-tenured employee named Joe.
Someone asked: "How can I be loyal to you when you weren't loyal to Joe?"
He couldn't answer in the moment. But the next day, he called back:
"You got it backwards. If I was loyal to Joe and kept him in the job and most people thought he just wasn't doing a good job anymore, who am I being disloyal to? Everybody else and the customer."
His advice: "You have to be very careful in management about why you're doing and what you're doing..."
Keeping the wrong people in place is the fastest way to lose the right ones.
Barack Obama: “The Bush administration has done nothing to control the problem that we have. We’ve had 5 million undocumented workers come over the borders since George Bush took office.”
Five months ago, a trans shooter killed 2 people at a Minneapolis church and wounded 30 more.
That makes what Don Lemon and his leftist thugs did at another Minneapolis church even more disgusting.
While Hillary Clinton spread lies about ICE arresting a 5 year old... this is what she had to say in 2014,
“Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay.”
This is how CNN reported on ICE while Obama was in office, they celebrated ICE
They rode with ICE in and around Chicago, and felt entitled to watch ICE conduct operations
Not long after " A day with ICE aired, Trump was elected and their opinion of ICE changed
Why is that
