@TippingOddsLV @krystalball Every week Trump is doing a crypto scam or enriching his friends with insanely inflated government contracts that they don't deliver on. If that isn't corruption then nothing meets your bar for it.

@huckleberrygem @kim_siever The "poop research" is clearly a one to one lie like Elon's. Scientists discovered that micro-bacteria in your gut can effect your body's immune system response in dealing with cancer. The research is how to transfer that micro-bacteria to others safely. A huge win against cancer

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@huckleberrygem @kim_siever Most of this is anti-science rhetoric and misleading. Much like how Elon Musk cut 250m to as he framed it: "fly breeding", which was actually an extension program to stop the spread of screwworms. Which are now infesting US beef after the cut.

@GoyCattleSage @AlexanderMcCoy4 @SnakeHoppe Just a reminder the 6 largest landlords were sued by the DOJ for price fixing with one another. Their competitors didn't lower prices to beat them, they also joined them on raising prices. https://t.co/t1B7PXv4cx

@GotHicks @BradDSZ90 @fraudatori @The__Goomba Again these are all median incomes. A useful metric for sure when talking about certain subjects. Doesn't really help us see if something is affordable to everyone. In the US people on the bottom end have to work 7 maximum hours to afford it. In canada it's 5 hours maximum.

@RawlinsonGerry @davidsirota @GavinNewsom true, those were 10 mistakes made by repealing them. 10 countries that wealth inequality increased and social safety nets got cut, so that poor billionaires could be more happy and the gdp and/or stock market could rise a couple %

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@RawlinsonGerry @davidsirota @GavinNewsom I see you're a big fan of bidenomics

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@GotHicks @BradDSZ90 @fraudatori @The__Goomba You're using household income rather than individual income. Which in the US is 50k. For Canada it's 54k. However this is all a misleading number, merely looking at people exactly in the middle of the country. You barely earn lower than that in Canada. For the US it goes to 16k.

@TaskNo5 @Rjwaters2 @JShellinsky @HenryForLA Pretty much this. Housing is already 5x more expensive in NYC than the average. Rent being frozen would never meaningfully impact desire to build new housing there.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@JShellinsky @HenryForLA Supply and demand isn't a universally true concept. Housing in NYC costs nearly 5x the country average. This should mean every contractor exclusively wants to build there, they don't because they can't.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@RawlinsonGerry @davidsirota @GavinNewsom I could go through every single one in a similar manner. Swedish residents even talked about why they repealed it. At the time they had very little wealth inequality, very little billionaires, they though it was just hurting them. Not realizing how much it helped.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@RawlinsonGerry @davidsirota @GavinNewsom The only metric they can 'positively' boast about the number of billionaires have increased. At the cost of every actual positive metric.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@RawlinsonGerry @davidsirota @GavinNewsom Sweden also didn't have billionaires flee, but after cutting their wealth tax every metric of happy living has gone down. Social security has been cut. Wealth inequality has gone up 50%. Normal taxes stayed the same but every day people objectively get less.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@RawlinsonGerry @davidsirota @GavinNewsom This is simply a lie. Rich people don't migrate to avoid taxes. Oregon did a big tax on the wealthy. The super rich migrated at a rate 2-3%. Well below the average migration rate of the poorest, at 4.5%. It's a toothless threat.

@ForMISenate @Ericrse37986 That's offensive weapons. Not defensive weapons. Bernie is stupid for framing it that way. All defensive weapons can be used offensively. She said she would never cut funding to the Iron Dome or "defensive weapons"

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@BlueYorker1 @Ericrse37986 Actually that's the point. The giant head is there because she isn't truly campaigning on policy. The scene is cringe because it's self-aggrandizing. It's the "I'm with her" redone.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@ForMISenate @Ericrse37986 Didn't she say she wouldn't take away weapons support to israel? And she refuses to call it a genocide. Her only solution I see her offer is that the US 'could' give defensive weapons to Palestine too. Which is stupid, doesn't fix things, and will never happen.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@ChangoPeligroso @SireRottweiler This. To add to this, the giant face represented a bad taste that her campaign wasn't about her policy but was about her as a person. "I'm with her" vibes.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@SimpleThoosie @cat_theori @Dexerto I mean you can see the original price Valve wanted to release at was 750$ before the cost of components skyrocketed, PS5 pro at that time was 700$, there wasn't much disparity. A more reasonable offer. Now it's 900$ vs 1400$. Crazy how bad they fucked up.

[DoctorRaven @DoctorRaven2]

@SimpleThoosie @cat_theori @Dexerto Issue is when they decided launched and how much of a cut they're talking off the top. The steam decl actually released at a good price point, not that people can build their own handhelds. But the steam machine is a joke in comparison. You can save a lot building your own PC.
