@hardy_soup99 imagine if i was still teaching and talked about israel every day, id prob get fired and start a riot

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Yes @mcuban you’re right that 60% of US adults own stock directly or indirectly but what you omit to mention is that the richest 1% of Americans own nearly 50% of the stock market while the bottom half of Americans own just 1%.

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

Billionaires will do whatever pretzel twist they can to protect the system that created them. Always scare tactics saying that a major change will destroy everything.

Your methods destroyed everything already. Your methods created a trillionaire. You need to be regulated.

[Mark Cuban @mcuban]

The reason anyone gets insanely rich is almost always because of the stock market. It certainly how @elonmusk did.

And the reason they get rich from the stock market, is because 150m Americans decided they wanted to own shares of stocks directly, or through their retirement plans, or through other approaches as a way of building their net worth and trying to create a better life for themselves.

One Hundred Fifty Million Americans. About 60% of adults.

Effectively believing that @elonmusk and many billionaires could make them wealthier and help them achieve a better life.

If you want @elonmusk , and most billionaires to no longer be that rich, convince those 150m to sell their stocks, funds, ETFs whatever.

Of course you would wipe out the net-worth of most of those people, and everyone else’s savings, as the markets crashed and brought down the economy and created the worst depression we have ever seen.

Alternatively

There are ways to improve healthcare access and eventually make it available to all.

To start -
If you want @elonmusk and all billionaires to improve healthcare for everyone , ask them to stop doing business with the enormous healthcare conglomerates and to work directly with transparently priced care providers.

It’s the behemoth HC conglomerates that make HC so bad for so many. (Check my timeline for more detail)

Removing them would push the cost of healthcare down for everyone. Their corporate decisions impact our healthcare cost and availability.

Of course if they do that, not only would our HC costs go down , and the quality of care for their employees and the entire country go up

But

They would see their corporate cash flow increase dramatically and we would have more millionaires, billionaires and maybe even another trillionaire when that cash flow moved from the big health care conglomerates to their bottom line, so would the net worth of the 150 million American adults that own public stocks

Capitalism is better than socialism because 150m Americans can influence exactly what happens in this country.

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

@mcuban or we could pay people a living wage federally (whatever you think that looks like) and untie healthcare from employment. The reason 150M americans do what you said is because there’s no other way to build wealth. Stop protecting a system that creates have-nots.

Remind me which faction lost to Donald trump twice?

Was it Bernie? Oh.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

The DSA Left is a machine built to fight moderate Democrats in factional warfare. The DSA Left is not built to fight Republicans. It has no idea of its own points of vulnerability because moderate Ds never fight back very hard.

Zionism is Naziism. If you are a progressive and a Zionist, you are a Jewish supremacist. Those two ideologies are at odds.

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

@DDsquared21 You are a demented idiot. Did your brain just stop developing after hebrew school or something?

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

@DDsquared21 You are a nazi now. Full on nazi propagandist. This is how the holocaust happened. People like you.

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

A man who is as hawkish as they come….gaslighting a genocide. Might as well call yourself a nazi. Apparently you didnt learn anything from your holocaust education. Never again meant everyone. Time for you to stop talking.

[David Frum @davidfrum]

Core problem:

If you're recruiting for people who are comfortable mouthing the lie that Israel's just war of self-defense was a "genocide," you'll find yourself hiring people who are comfortable mouthing a lot of other lies as well.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Hasan Piker: “If you think there’s a significant amount of antisemitism on the Democratic party side as opposed to the Republicans, you’re a delusional person. Antisemitism is morally repugnant, it’s completely unacceptable and unfortunately it happens. We have to analyze why antisemitism grows in this country. Antisemitism grows in this country historically during unprecedented levels of violence that Israel commits against the Palestinians, the Lebanese population, against Arabs as a whole. Israel does this unlimited violence with unlimited tax dollars from the USA and it also claims it’s doing this kind of violence for Judaism. This false conflation is a very dangerous one”

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

@DDsquared21 You are full on nazi now holy crap.

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

@Ike_Saul Healthcare costs. By not including those, you can paint a pretty rosy picture. Not as super smart as you claim, in my opinion.

[Justin Bonomo 🇵🇸 @JustinBonomo]

I want non-Jews to understand how monumental this shift as.

As Jews we are raised with endless propaganda about how great Israel is. It’s part of our prayers, our family gatherings, our education, our extra curricular activities, even our fraternities.

It’s everywhere, and there’s never another side presented. I practically never even heard the word Palestinian growing up. There was no asterisk next to how great Israel was. No war crimes to atone for. No ethnic cleansing, no open air prison, no list of massacres - just endless propaganda. And free paid trips to Israel from billionaires to try to convince us to move there.

And that’s not to even mention the generic American propaganda we all face daily.

So it’s absolutely staggering, that in the face of that endless, relentless propaganda, 44% of young American Jews favor the establishment of one non-religious state in Israel/occupied Palestine.

Many of us are pissed that we’ve been lied to. We’ve done the research and learned the history about how truly Hitlerian Israel’s history is.

This isn’t something that just happens by accident. You don’t have such large percentages of people mistakenly turning against their families, cultures, and traditions due to misinformation or misunderstandings. This kind of shift can only happen when people are exposed to the absolute worst horrors on the planet that their people have committed.

The human psyche can justify or use cognitive dissonance for almost anything.

But the evils from Israel have gone too far for far too long.

Nobody with a conscience who is educated about what Israel has done for the past hundred years can come to a conclusion other than, “Israel in its current form should simply not exist.”

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

Most israelis feel this way. Poll after poll shows it. Use your own eyes.

[B.M. @ireallyhateyou]

The man speaking here, telling soldiers, using a bible verse, to "seize babies" in Gaza and "dash them against the rocks", is Israeli minister Yitzhak Wasserlauf.

[dannniel @Dmc0603]

The american gov would rather kill palestinian children for israel and criminalize helping starving children than punishing pedophiles.

If you are pro-israel, reevaluate your life choices. Modern day nazis.

[hasanabi @hasanthehun]

the american govt would rather try to criminalize delivering aid to a country we’ve starved, than punish the epstein class.
